Elden Ring Nightreign: Old Gaol Achievement Guide

by

The Nightreign of Elden Ring features numerous procedurally generated expeditions, providing players ample opportunities to enhance their chosen character and gather new gear and power-ups. These can range from forts brimming with soldiers, fortresses guarded by lethal golem archers, to broken chapels housing twisted flame monks, malevolent entities, or envoys.

On every map, you’ll find grey circles marking the positions of Elden Ring Nightreign‘s Evergaols – these are prisons housing dangerous adversaries that can be unlocked using Stonesword Keys. Defeating the boss within grants a potent reward. Some Evergaols host tougher enemies than typical, and correspondingly more valuable rewards; it is these you should aim to discover in order to achieve the Old Gaol accomplishment.

Which Evergaol Bosses Count for the Oldest Gaol Achievement in Elden Ring Nightreign

For the “Oldest Gaol” achievement, only the most challenging Evergaol Bosses qualify, namely the Godskin Duo, the Ancient Dragon, and the Deathrite Bird. These bosses are notorious for their immense health pools and high difficulty levels, making them particularly tough to defeat, especially if you’re venturing alone. To ensure success when engaging these Evergaols, it’s wise to level up and acquire powerful weapons from various locations in the game beforehand.

How to Find the Oldest Gaol in Elden Ring Nightreign

To increase your chances of winning, it’s advisable to consider opening several Evergaols during Night 2, preferably once you reach level 10. On Night 1, locate the Evergaols on your map, and only open them if you are certain about your own abilities and those of your team, so as not to waste keys and potentially run from the boss within. Instead, spend Night 1 amassing resources, particularly Stonesword Keys. Aim to enhance your weapon to level +2 and acquire a few Flask charges before confronting the Night 1 boss. Once the Night 1 boss is defeated, begin with clearing out Evergaols located on the map’s periphery, then move towards the center as you progress.

With a little bit of good fortune, you’ll locate one of the oldest prison leaders rather swiftly if you’re efficient at eliminating Evergaols. However, if you’re in need of resources to combat the Nightlord, it might be wiser to focus on that first, particularly if you’re playing online through matchmaking. Once you’ve found the Oldest Gaol, defeat the boss within to claim the achievement and some well-deserved runes.

Among the three possible Oldest Evergaol Bosses, the Deathrite Bird is the simplest to defeat, especially if you’ve obtained a Holy Weapon as it swiftly depletes its health. The Ancient Dragon is weak against area-of-effect (AOE) attacks that strike multiple times and can stun it. Attacks like Flame of Frenzy, Rock Sling, Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike, and Burn, O Flame! are effective for this purpose. Lastly, the Godskin Duo is challenging, but you can swiftly defeat them if you have status effects such as bleed or frostbite at your disposal to deplete their health bars.
