Get ready for more intense battles in Elden Ring Nightreign as the game introduces its next upgraded boss as part of the ongoing Everdark Sovereign series.

The update is scheduled to go live at 7 a.m. PDT / 4 p.m. CEST / 11 p.m. JST on June 26. This new challenge will be available as a target within a Nightfarer expedition. Similar to previous upgrades, players will likely need to defeat the base version of Fulghor at least once before unlocking the more difficult, enhanced version of the boss.

FromSoftware’s Surprise Drop and the Rise of Upgraded Bosses

Last week, developer FromSoftware surprised players with the sudden release of the enhanced Everdark Sovereigns. The first of these was the Gaping Jaw challenge, which proved to be significantly tougher than its original form. These upgraded bosses can unleash a barrage of devastating attacks, forcing players to adapt quickly. For example, Adel, Baron of the Night, in his enhanced form, became a terror, zipping across the arena and conjuring a massive storm during the fight.

Meet Fulghor: The Challenging Centaur Nightlord

In his base form, Fulghor, who fights under the banner of the Darkdrift Knight, has already proven to be a tough opponent. Known for his quick, high-damage attacks, he leaves little room for error. His area-of-effect abilities can quickly overwhelm unprepared players, making every encounter a test of skill and timing.

The Challenge of the Enhanced Version

With the arrival of Fulghor’s upgraded form, players should brace themselves for an even greater challenge. His increased power and new attack patterns will demand precise strategy and execution. Early reactions to the announcement indicate that many are eager to test their skills against this more formidable foe, preparing for the intense battles ahead.

Future Plans for Everdark Sovereigns

FromSoftware has confirmed that each week will bring a new upgraded boss as part of the Everdark Sovereign series. As the Darkdrift Knight rotates out of the spotlight, the Sentient Pest will be the next boss to receive an enhanced version, promising a fresh and interesting challenge, especially with its phase-shifting mechanics.
