Elden Ring: Nightreign Tweaks Might Finally Make Solo Runs Fair

A new patch could make it easier to take FromSoftware’s new game on by yourself.

Elden Ring Nightreign officially launched on Friday, and a lot of players are having a rough time with the game. As a team-based game, players are having trouble finding a good party to take down the Nightlord. While solo play is possible, it’s currently too difficult — although that appears to be changing soon.

Developer FromSoftware sent a tweet on Friday via the official Elden Ring account about the upcoming changes in patch 1.02. The update includes two big changes that will help solo runs immensely: automatic revival and more runes.

The following improvements for solo expeditions will be added to the game:
— The effect «Automatic Revival Upon Defeat», which allows revival once per night boss battle, will be added to solo expeditions.
— The amount of runes gained will be increased.
Thank you for your support.

In Elden Ring Nightreign, players are dropped on the island of Limveld to survive for three in-game days to take on the Nightlord. The task is tough enough for a team, but the difficulty ramps up when playing solo, as the bosses are designed to be beaten by three players.

Automatic revival is a one-time revive for solo players to take down the bosses, and it will help tremendously. Boss battles are tough solo, so being able to revive yourself will make the fights more manageable.

Gaining more runes will also be a big help. Runes act both as the currency and experience points in Elden Ring Nightreign. The more you have, the higher level you can obtain, and players need to be the right level to properly defeat a boss, otherwise, they’re too weak to do any damage and not survive any hits.

Patch 1.02 for Elden Ring Nightreign will come out sometime next week. It will also add some other fixes to the game, along with improving solo play. Patch 1.01 went into effect on Thursday, right before the game’s early access launch. FromSoftware didn’t provide many details about the changes made in that update, but some players did say they noticed solo runs were slightly easier.

Elden Ring Nightreign is available now for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Series S and Xbox One consoles for $40. Owning the original Elden Ring is not required to play this game.
