How To Open The Main Castle Gate In Elden Ring Nightreign

In the realm of Elden Ring Nightreign, I’ve found that the map is brimming with unexpected surprises, with key landmarks shifting and boss encounters changing from playthrough to playthrough. However, amidst all this unpredictability, one constant remains – the central castle.

Excluding geological changes that may affect its location, the castle remains stationary, right in the heart of the map. The only unpredictable aspect about it is the adversaries hidden inside. Here’s a guide on how to unlock the main gate and access the treasure inside the castle.

How To Open The Castle Gate In Elden Ring Nightreign

The main entrance to the castle is consistently accessed using a particular approach, but it may require a sturdy group to force it open initially. If you avoid entering through the barricaded gate, navigate towards the central inner courtyard of the castle, where a river divides it in half. Leap down into this river with your back towards the closed gate, and you’ll spot two sewer outlets on opposite sides.

Leap into the sewer and advance to the main chamber where you’ll encounter a challenging boss. This boss is tougher than the common enemies scattered throughout the game world, making it a “Formidable Foe” that appears on your map starting from day 2. If you manage to defeat this boss, the door in its chamber will unlock. Ascend the cages in the following room and follow the stairway up to reach the central hall of the castle. Opening the chest situated ahead will initiate the process of opening both the gate back to the courtyard and the exit. Possible bosses you may face include:

  • Leonine Misbegotten
  • Ancient Hero of Zamor

What’s In The Castle’s Gated Room In Elden Ring Nightreign

The primary allure of this room lies in the guaranteed Talisman from the chest situated atop the stairs. This chest often contains a Talisman cache, allowing you to select one of three Talismans to use, typically superior to those obtained from common scarabs. To the right of the Talisman chest, you’ll find another wooden chest that may yield additional weapons or consumables, and there are numerous boxes scattered throughout the room that can be effortlessly destroyed. Essentially, the charm of this room centers around the guaranteed Talisman, as each member of your party has an opportunity to acquire one, and each player gets to pick their preferred choice.
