Elden Ring Nightreign is getting a new higher difficulty so you can stop complaining about just how 'easy' it is

"Though the developer keeps adding tougher versions of said bosses - called Everdark Sovereign - the core game's difficulty remains unchanged, and many players simply don't find it to be pushing their abilities anymore. The solution? A new, harder difficulty. FromSoftware calls it The Deep of Night, and it's going to arrive in Nightreign on Thursday, September 11. Because it raises the base difficulty of each Expedition, Deep of Night is designed for veteran players."

"More interestingly, however, you cannot specify which Nightlord to target before starting the Expedition, meaning you won't be able to build your character to exploit each of their weaknesses. As you explore during the Expedition itself, you'll also notice that ongoing terrain changes won't be reflected. The upside is that Deep of Night Expeditions will drop new special items, including special Relics. You'll also find weapons with more status effects, and some will even have negative effects."

"Perhaps the most insidious change, however, is that the deeper into each day you go, the more difficult the game is going to get. This isn't always going to be a fixed change, however, as it will fluctuate based on your wins and losses within that difficulty. Finally, FromSoftware confirmed that Depths 4 and 5 will even offer the option of endless battle, though it's not really clear what that means in practice."

The Deep of Night is a new, harder difficulty arriving September 11 for Elden Ring Nightreign that raises the base difficulty of Expeditions and targets veteran players. Enemies are tougher and players cannot choose their Nightlord target before starting, preventing tailored character builds. Ongoing terrain changes during Expeditions won't be reflected, while new special items, including Relics, and weapons with more status effects (including negative effects) will appear. Difficulty increases the deeper into each day players progress and will fluctuate based on wins and losses. Depths 4 and 5 will offer an option for endless battle.
