Unlocking the Nightfarers: Mastering the Secret Classes
Elden Ring Nightreign features a unique Nightfarer class system that allows players to choose familiar archetypes. While six Nightfarers are available at the start, two secret classes—the Duchess and the Revenant—await discovery. Unlocking these powerful classes requires completing specific objectives:
The Duchess: Earned by completing your first Tricephalos expedition and obtaining the Old Pocketwatch relic. Handing this relic over to the Priestess in Roundtable Hold will unlock the Duchess, a dexterous attacker who excels with weapons like daggers and curved swords.
The Revenant: Gained by acquiring the Besmirched Frame from the Jar Bazaar after unlocking the Duchess. Interacting with the Lost Phantom in Roundtable Hold will transport you to a boss fight against the Night Idol. Defeating the Night Idol unlocks the Revenant, a magically inclined class capable of summoning spirits and manipulating the battlefield.
The Revenant Class Guide: A Deep Dive
The Revenant is a versatile class that specializes in necromancy and summons. With a higher-than-average chance of landing critical hits with her starting claws and access to healing Incantations, the Revenant can support her team while dealing significant damage. Key abilities include:
- Necromancy: Summons spirits of defeated non-boss enemies to aid in combat.
- Summon Spirit: Calls upon one of three spirits – Helen, Frederick, or Sebastian – to fight alongside you.
- Immortal March: Grants immortality to all allies for a few seconds and revives fallen teammates.
The Revenant thrives with faith, arcane, and intelligence scaling, making her a formidable magic user. Equipping her with faith-scaling weapons like the Erdtree Dagger or the Sword of Night and Flame can further enhance her combat prowess.
