To date, the Everdark Sovereign Nightlords in Nightreign have been fairly the blended bag. Gaping Jaws has undoubtedly been probably the most spectacular of the fights thus far, offering each an incredible problem and dazzling spectacle. Darkdrift Knight, then again, was a take a look at of persistence and energy, whereas most just lately, the Everdark Sentient Pest supplies a battle that’s enjoyable to be part of, however not significantly onerous.
That’s excellent news for these of you studying this information. In the event you’re not fairly positive how you can deal with the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest, they’re luckily a breeze to take down as soon as precisely what to do. On that notice, right here’s how you can beat the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest in Nightreign.
The right way to beat Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest in Nightreign
The Everdark Sovereign model of Sentient Pest (also referred to as Gnoster, Knowledge of Evening) is a little bit of a ache in Nightreign. You’ve this enormous, tanky scorpion and this flying Poison-inflicting moth, which means you need each robust melee and ranged characters. Then the pair merge collectively and start conjuring magic laser beams throughout the world which might be nearly assured to down gamers… It’s all a really fairly nightmare.
That mentioned, Sentient Pest’s new, enhanced battle doesn’t really really feel as difficult as you would possibly’ve anticipated, particularly in case you’re properly ready. The battle, as per common, begins with the second part, and with a fiery weapon handy, you may attain the third part comparatively shortly and never fear about these magic laser beams.
To problem this boss, open your Expeditions menu by way of the Roundtable and choose the purple model of Sentient Pest from the very backside of the Goal record (proven above).
If they aren’t accessible for you, this implies you will need to defeat the unique model of the Sentient Pest first earlier than their Everdark model turns into accessible.
Listed below are some issues to notice earlier than setting off on this Expedition:
- The battle begins with the Sentient Pest’s second part, so each Gnoster and his scorpion counterpart, Faurtis Stoneshield, will probably be hooked up to at least one one other. They’ll additionally dish out magical pillars/beams that can stagger you, and also you need to keep away from these as finest as you may.
- Sentient Pest stays weak to Fireplace, and I’d argue they’re extra vulnerable to Fireplace Injury throughout this battle than their unique battle, so be sure you convey alongside a Fireplace weapon the place you may.
- Gnoster (the moth) is immune to Magic, Lightning, Holy, Insanity, Poison, and Sleep. Faurtis (the scorpion) is immune to Slash, Commonplace, Magic, Lightning, Holy, and Insanity. Consequently, you ideally need to convey alongside weapons that deal Pierce, Strike, Fireplace, Frostbite, Scarlet Rot, or Bleed Injury.
- Raider and Ironeye are nice for this boss. Raider could be very tanky and hard-hitting, and with a fiery Colossal Weapon or in my occasion, a Mace, he can deplete Faurtir’s HP with ease. Ironeye is nice to have for combating Gnoster, who typically flies across the enviornment, and I extremely suggest bringing at the least one ranged participant into this battle. Melee gamers – particularly Raiders – ought to simply be capable to poise-break the moth and assault it each time it’s close to the bottom.
- Decide up and devour any Neutralising Boluses in Limveld. Gnoster dishes out Poison injury at occasions, and having Poison Resistance will enable you to negate this massively so you may preserve combating.
- Search for passive results and traits that present Bodily Injury Negation and Magic Injury Negation, as that is the injury kind that the Sentient Pest primarily offers.
- Goal for Stage 13 or above and improve your weapons. Everdark fights are more durable than your common battle, due to this fact you need to be more durable too. Purple-rarity weapons and being Stage 13 or larger are one factor that make this battle breezy.
As we’ve simply talked about, the battle begins with Sentient Pest’s second part, so their strikes in the course of the first portion of the battle shouldn’t be stunning to you. In the event you want any assist with that in any respect, check out our Sentient Pest boss information for his or her unique battle.
This specific battle additionally options two separate well being bars. So, the Sentient Pest received’t transition at half-HP like prior Everdark Sovereign fights in opposition to Gaping Jaws and Darkdrift Knight. As a substitute, the Everdark Sentient Pest’s third part begins as soon as its preliminary well being bar is totally depleted.
As soon as the third part begins, there’ll be a brief pause right here earlier than Animus, Ascendant Gentle – a crimson, spectral butterfly-like creature – seems. This creature revives each Faurtis Stoneshield and Gnoster to roughly 25% of their HP earlier than usually avoiding you and your workforce, however don’t panic: Faurtis and Gnoster will use their first part strikes right here. Nothing new or scary!
Now, what you should do right here is decide an enemy and battle them collectively. Faurtis Stoneshield (the scorpion) is extra troubling, so I like to recommend your entire workforce combating him first. When you deplete his HP, Animus will fly over and start sacrificing his HP to take over Faurtis’ corpse; that is your alternative to assault Animus.
As soon as Animus then fully possesses Faurtis, you need to battle Faurtis once more and shortly. He’ll glow crimson this time, and alongside his common assaults, he’ll cease on both aspect of his physique, unleashing crimson shockwaves via the bottom that you simply need to roll away from. He’s additionally able to unleashing a roar earlier than charging across the enviornment, leaving crimson shockwaves in his path.
In the event you don’t kill Faurtis fast sufficient, Animus will make your life considerably tougher by reappearing to battle you himself, and this time, he’ll conjure these terrible laser beams from Sentient Pest’s second part that all of us hate. Not solely that, however they’ll be greater and all of the extra brutal. You need to keep away from this the place potential.
As soon as Faurtis has been felled (once more!), Animus will reappear. I like to recommend working over to Gnoster and shortly felling them subsequent, and similar to Faurtis, Animus will fly over and sacrifice a few of its HP to own the magical moth. Whereas Animus does that, be sure to make use of this window of alternative to assault it.
As soon as Gnoster has been possessed, you then need to give attention to killing it as shortly as potential, as doing so will seemingly finish the battle. In the event you don’t kill it shortly, Animus can reappear and start attacking you itself. Gnoster’s new strikes are primarily enhanced variations of his present moveset: count on extra projectiles, extra seize assaults, extra clouds of poison, and extra magic rain. These are nonetheless simply averted by dodging, nonetheless.
Killing Gnoster now will seemingly finish the battle, offered Animus has taken sufficient injury. If not, you have to to assault Animus to finish the battle – which shouldn’t take a lot – or as soon as once more, assault whichever creature it subsequent possesses. In the end, the boss will probably be felled from the injury you do, or the injury it does to itself by possessing each Gnoster and Faurtis.
Upon efficiently beating the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest, you’ll be rewarded with 25 Sovereign Sigils to spend on outfits, Shifting Earth occasions, or new Relics, together with the brand new Darkish Evening of the Clever Relic which is nice for Revenant and Duchess followers.
Oh, and if you wish to watch somebody defeat Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest with out getting hit as soon as, YouTuber ONGBAL has finished it once more in report time, killing the factor solo and hitless in simply 4 minutes. Take pleasure in!
ONGBAL additionally takes a really totally different strategy to this battle when enjoying solo. You’ll discover that in Sentient Pest’s third part, somewhat than combating Gnoster or Faurtis, he kites them till there’s a possibility to assault Animus. He solely assaults Animus throughout this portion of the battle, and properly, as soon as Animus’ HP is depleted, the battle is over. That is another strategy to go in regards to the battle, and might be the best way you need to go about this battle if taking up the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest solo.
