It’s always a random Tuesday when FromSoftware decides to drop something for Elden Ring Nightreign, especially with The Forsaken Hollows launching next week. Lo and behold, it has released a first look at one of two new Nightfarers – the Scholar.
Packing a cane sword, he’s seemingly capable of slowing multiple foes at once, but it gets even better. His Ultimate involves linking several enemies together, so attacking one deals damage to the others. This is exemplified in the fight against Libra, where players must battle their clones (known as Condemned).
Since they scale with players, they can be annoying to handle alongside the Nightlord but link them together, unleash an Onslaught Stake from the Wylder, and the odds suddenly become more favorable. Of course, it remains to be seen how the Scholar’s abilities will change as you unlock different Relics (including his own personal belongings).
Another Nightfarer is due to be revealed, so stay tuned for more details. Elden Ring Nightreign – The Forsaken Hollows launches on December 4th and adds a new Shifting Earth condition, two Day Three bosses, and more for $15.
