IGGM Guide: How To Defeat Two Bosses From Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC In Elden Ring Nightreign?

In the eager anticipation of you and other fans, Elden Ring’s new cooperative spin-off game Elden Ring Nightreign will be launched on various platforms on May 30, bringing you a brand new experience with similar but slightly different new gameplay.

Although you can still play the single-player mode as before, Elden Ring Nightreign requires you to find two teammates and work together to win the boss battle within three days in the game through three-person team cooperation to complete the accumulation of Elden Ring Nightreign Runes.

As a new game, there is no doubt that Elden Ring Nightreign will bring new bosses to provide freshness, such as Libra Creature of Night, which was released a few days ago. But in addition to this, the game also introduces some bosses from the base game and the last DLC Shadow of the Erdtree.

Based on this, this time we will take you to review the fighting skills of Demi-Human Queen Marigga and Demi-Human Swordmaster Onze in DLC to ensure that you will not be hindered by them after entering Elden Ring Nightreign.

Demi-Human Queen Marigga

Although this boss’s moves are small and predictable, it does not mean that you can take it lightly. The danger of Marigga is that in addition to her own strong attack power, she will always be surrounded by other Demi-Human enemies. It is best to knock them down before focusing on the boss.

Best Way To Deal With It

When the battle begins, Queen Marigga will first cast a Glintstone magic attack, which can be avoided by dodging to the sides. At the same time, she will also utilize her fists or staff to attack you in other ways. If you don’t dodge in time, you will suffer losses.

Despite her high lethality, it is not difficult to defeat Marigga compared to other bosses, so you really should seize the opportunity to complete some runes’ accumulation by killing her. But if this is your first time playing Elden Ring series, it is recommended that you ask your teammates for help or call in a summoner.

Sometimes your teammates will have more combat experience than you or better gear; calling in Spirit Ashes can bring you extra help. In addition, you can also utilize Faith Build and equip Sacred Relic Sword to kill bosses and other enemies at a distance with weapon skills.

Demi-Human Swordmaster Onze

Compared to Marigga, Onze is much more dangerous. In the past, he appeared as the final boss underground in Belurat Gaol in Shadow of the Erdtree. Since Belurat Gaol itself is a dangerous place, when you encounter this boss in DLC, you may already be in a low health state.

Although the boss settings in Nightreign may be different from those in DLC, it is always beneficial to get Elden Ring Nightreign items that provide additional benefits in advance, such as Spelldrake Talisman, which can reduce the boss’s magic damage, and Turtle Neck Meat, which can increase your damage output.

Boss’s Attack Mode

Since Onze can be invisible in battle and attacks very quickly, it is unrealistic to remember his combo mode. For this reason, it is recommended that you pay attention to his two attack modes first:

• The Parry And Riposte: Onze’s palm will emit a blue light as a sign of his attack. He will parry first and then riposte, and you can utilize this to fight back.
• The Jump Attack: This attack is also marked by a blue light and will appear when the boss jumps up. Since this attack is a magic attack, you will suffer great damage if you do not dodge it, so you must be careful.

How To Defeat Swordmaster Onze?

Although Onze is very threatening, his resistance is poor. As long as you utilize a weapon with moderate speed, you have a chance to gain an advantage in the battle. However, if you are a mage who relies on magic attacks, it is difficult to utilize this weakness of the boss.

It is recommended that you prioritize using a suitable zoom weapon or a more accurate and fast spell to deal with Onze, because the boss has high resistance and amazing speed against other area spells or charge spells.

In addition, when the boss is in Frostbite build, he will not only gain amazing combo ability in a very short time, but also cause your stamina recovery rate to decrease. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter this situation, you must ensure that you are always in an attacking state and keep in mind the following tips to avoid fatal attacks.

• Keep attacking.
• Don’t consume too much time when healing yourself, because the boss will quickly approach you.
• Pause when a blue light appears on the ground during the battle.
• Try not to exhaust your stamina.

Although the boss’s Frostbite build is dangerous, it is not recommended to clear it with Flame, Cleanse Me. In contrast, Thawfrost Boluses are more suitable for dealing with this situation. In addition, to effectively deal with Onze’s disappearing acts, just stay in the locked-on state in time.

Although the mechanics in Elden Ring Nightreign may be different from Shadow of the Erdtree, since these two bosses are returned directly, the overall response mode should be similar, so I believe these guides will help you after Nightreign is launched! Thanks for reading.
