Elden Ring Nightreign player channels their inner Sekiro to parry the co-op roguelite’s final boss to death – completely solo – just 2 days after launch

by

A player who is a big fan of FromSoftware has just managed to finish a single-player campaign of Elden Ring Nightreign, utilizing a character setup that appears reminiscent of their preferred title from the developer’s lineup – Sekiro.

According to PCGamer’s report, YouTuber Ongbal employs the Executor class in battling the ultimate boss of Nightreign. For those who prefer to remain unaware, here’s your heads-up about potential spoilers.

The Executor character is appealing to Sekiro enthusiasts due to its katana weapon and skill to counterattack attacks, much like the cursed shinobi. It’s captivating to observe how effortlessly it dodges incoming strikes.

Nightreign is a team-based game, ideally played by three players at once. However, it’s also possible to play on your own if you prefer not to join with strangers. It’s advised to play in a group according to Bandai Namco’s suggestions, so consider yourself warned: attempting to play solo requires considerable skill.

As I face off against the formidable Heolstor, the final boss, I can’t help but feel a familiar sensation, reminiscent of Artorias. With its hunched posture and towering sword, it exudes an aura of intimidation. Yet, it swings its weapon limply, making it easier for me to parry and counter with staggering blows that deal critical damage.

When the initial health gauge is depleted, Heolstor demonstrates their true might. They become quicker, inflict greater area-of-effect harm, and only resort to using their health potions with the assistance of Ongbal.

The most critical point during the battle arises when Heolstor’s health plummets to nearly half, causing him to leap into the air and cleave open the very fabric of the cosmos, allowing another dimension to bleed into existence. Despite being under intense pressure, Ongbal manages to defeat the Nightlord single-handedly, wielding only their katana.
