11 Elden Ring: Nightreign Dlc Features That Would Surprise And...

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a better game that I thought it would be, but that doesn't mean it can't get any better. This week's DLC drop is FromSoftware's chance to add a bunch of stuff nobody expected to show up in a co-op spinoff.

Dark Souls has plenty of bosses to borrow from and the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is full of weapons that would transform how you approach each run. The beauty of Nightreign is the randomization of the items you find and the bosses you face, so even a slight update could change a lot.

These are the things we'd like to see added (and not added) to the game to make the next 300 or so hours even more fun than before.

Sean Martin, Senior Guides Writer: Playing as fist Raider in Deep of Night has really given me an appreciation for how every problem can be solved with punching, but we're still missing some of the best hand-to-hand weapons in Elden Ring. I was admittedly a bit disappointed when one of the new Nightfarers didn't turn out to be a Dryleaf martial artist, but FromSoftware could still add both Dryleaf Arts and Dane's Footwork as weapons, giving us a really distinctive moveset to experiment with and master during expeditions.

Sean: Same goes for Perfume Bottles. I was also a bit sad we didn't get a Perfumer Nightfarer, especially as we already have "Improved Perfuming Arts" as a relic modifier and the Perfumer's Talisman in Nightreign, despite only having consumable perfumes and none of the actual Perfume Bottle weapons from Shadow of the Erdtree.

Considering their wide variety of scalings, they'd make for a really cool weapon addition that multiple Nightfarers could use, especially the Frenzyflame Perfume Bottle, which inflicts madness, and would provide another option to the limited weapon pool available when facing (and maddening) Libra.

Ted Litchfield, Associate Editor: I mean, they're right there, they've already been made, sock 'em to me. The light greatswords and backhand blades are fan favorites, but I'm a real sicko for Big Katana. I guess some spells for all you spell nerds would be nice too.

Tyler Colp, Contributor: If I don't get the backhand blades I'll cry.

Ted: You know who I'm talking about. I love pain: For myself, but especially for any of my fellow souls players who grouse about the games on Reddit. I want those awful bird and lion warriors from Enir Elim and Belurat to just start showing
