How to Begin Unlocking the Revenant Class
To unlock the Revenant class in Elden Ring Nightreign, players must first complete specific steps involving the Duchess class. According to CNET, the Duchess is a prerequisite, requiring players to finish the Tricephalos Expedition and acquire the Old Pocketwatch relic. This relic must then be handed over to the Priestess in the Roundtable Hold, revealing her true identity as the Duchess. Once unlocked, the Duchess becomes playable, and the next stage of the Revenant questline begins.
Following this, the Besmirched Frame becomes available for purchase in the Small Jar Bazaar for 1,500 Murk. This item is critical for progressing toward unlocking the Revenant class.
Where to Find the Phantom and Start the Revenant Quest
After purchasing the Besmirched Frame, a Phantom NPC will appear in the Roundtable Hold. As detailed by Dexerto, this Phantom is located in the southeast hallway, marked by a portrait icon on the map. Interacting with the Phantom will teleport players to the tutorial area where they previously fought Margit the Fell Omen, now repurposed for the Revenant questline.
In this area, players will encounter the Night Idol, a boss that must be defeated to unlock the Revenant class. This setup is typical of FromSoftware games, combining environmental storytelling with challenging combat to reward players for exploration and persistence.
How to Defeat the Night Idol Boss
The Night Idol boss fight is a multi-phase battle that involves managing summoned spirits. According to VideoGamer, these spirits include Helen (an agile attacker), Frederick (a heavy hitter), and Sebastian (a stationary but powerful skeleton). Defeating these summons first simplifies the fight, allowing players to focus on the Night Idol herself.
Using ranged attacks and maintaining mobility are key strategies for this encounter. Players are advised to bring a Nightfarer class like Ironeye, whose abilities are well-suited for zoning out enemies and dealing consistent damage. Once the Night Idol is defeated, players are transported back to the Roundtable Hold and informed that the Revenant class is now unlocked.
Understanding the Revenant Class and Its Role
The Revenant class is a high-risk, high-reward option in Elden Ring Nightreign, emphasizing magical abilities and team utility. As noted by Khel Now, the Revenant’s passive ability allows her to spawn spirit summons from defeated non-boss enemies, adding chaos to battles and distracting foes. Her class ability, Summon Spirit, lets her call specific summons like Helen, Frederick, or Sebastian, providing additional strategic options.
The Revenant’s ultimate ability, Immortal March, grants temporary immortality to herself and nearby allies, making it a game-changing tool for reviving teammates or turning the tide of difficult encounters. While fragile, the Revenant excels in supporting her team with powerful spells and summons.
Unlocking the Revenant class adds depth to the roster of Nightfarers in Elden Ring Nightreign, offering players a unique blend of magical prowess and tactical support. With careful planning and execution, this enigmatic character can become an invaluable asset in any team composition.
