All Nightreign Legendary Weapons and New Effects
Nightreign introduces a wealth of formidable Legendary Weapons, many familiar from the original Elden Ring. Each weapon boasts unique effects tied to its Ash of War, shaping diverse character builds. While some effects remain consistent with their Elden Ring counterparts, others receive enhanced versions exclusive to Nightreign. Let’s delve into the comprehensive list of Legendary Weapons and their distinctive attributes.
Sword of Night and Flame
The Sword of Night and Flame remains a versatile choice, its weapon skill empowered by the specific element you choose to channel through its Ash of War. This allows for adaptable damage output depending on enemy weaknesses or desired combat style. Proper use of this weapon requires understanding of both Fire and Magic damage types.
Marais Executioner’s Sword
The Marais Executioner’s Sword rewards aggressive play. With each enemy vanquished, its Attack Power receives a substantial boost. This effect stacks, transforming you into a whirling dervish of destruction as you cut through hordes of foes. Its powerful weapon skill also deals significant damage.
Blasphemous Blade
Sustain your relentless advance with the Blasphemous Blade. Each defeated enemy restores a portion of your health, allowing you to persevere through challenging encounters. This self-healing mechanism provides both survivability and aggressive incentive. Its unique skill coats the blade in flames dealing damage over time.
Golden Order Greatsword
The Golden Order Greatsword offers both offensive and defensive capabilities. Its Heavy Attacks can heal allies and dispel various ailments, making it invaluable in cooperative gameplay. This weapon promotes strategic positioning and timely interventions to support your team.
Dark Moon Greatsword
The Dark Moon Greatsword empowers your magical prowess by lowering enemy magic negation. This allows your spells to penetrate defenses more effectively, amplifying your overall damage output. It synergizes exceptionally well with Intelligence-based builds focused on sorceries.
Sacred Relic Sword
The Sacred Relic Sword boasts an enhanced Heavy Attack in Nightreign, expanding its area of effect to encompass a wider range of targets. This makes it ideal for crowd control, effectively clearing groups of enemies with each swing. Its wave of gold light deals Holy damage.
Grafted Blade Greatsword
Upon defeating enemies, the Grafted Blade Greatsword accumulatively enhances your attributes. This gradual power increase transforms you into an unstoppable force as you continue to conquer foes. It encourages a prolonged engagement strategy for maximum benefit.
Ruins Greatsword
The Ruins Greatsword has a gravity-based effect on Heavy Attacks. This unique ability pulls enemies towards you, disrupting their positioning and setting them up for follow-up attacks. This weapon is excellent for controlling the battlefield and isolating specific targets.
Starscourge Greatsword
The Starscourge Greatsword receives a significant upgrade in Nightreign. The follow-up on its Ash of War is now quicker, while the initial attacks of its light combo possess a gravity effect, similar to the Ruins Greatsword. This enhances its overall versatility and combat effectiveness.
Maliketh’s Black Blade
Maliketh’s Black Blade inflicts a lasting wound. Each successful attack causes the enemy’s health to gradually diminish for a brief duration. This “damage over time” effect weakens your opponents, making them more vulnerable to subsequent blows.
Dragon King’s Cragblade
A new effect has been introduced to the Dragon King’s Cragblade’s heavy jump attacks. While the exact nature of this effect is yet to be widely detailed, it promises a unique advantage for those who master this weapon’s aerial capabilities.
Eclipse Shotel
The Eclipse Shotel introduces a chance to instantly execute enemies, regardless of their remaining health. This “Death Blight” effect adds an element of risk and reward, potentially turning the tide of battle with a single well-timed blow.
Morgott’s Cursed Sword
Morgott’s Cursed Sword’s Ash of War remains unchanged in Nightreign. It retains its potent combination of speed, range, and bleed buildup, making it a reliable choice for inflicting substantial damage and debilitating status effects. Players familiar with the original will be instantly comfortable.
Hand of Malenia
The Hand of Malenia offers a unique defensive mechanism. Upon receiving damage, you can unleash a quick attack to partially recover your lost health. This allows you to trade blows more aggressively, knowing that you can partially mitigate the consequences.
Winged Greathorn
The Winged Greathorn occasionally lowers enemy damage negation with each attack. This passive debuff gradually weakens your opponent’s defenses, making them more susceptible to your subsequent strikes. It shines in protracted battles against heavily armored foes.
Axe of Godrick
The Axe of Godrick now generates a quake effect when executing Heavy Attacks. This ground-shaking impact can stagger nearby enemies, creating openings for further attacks. It complements a strength-based build focused on dealing massive damage.
Marika’s Hammer
Marika’s Hammer’s heavy attacks now have Goldbreaker effects. This presumably provides increased effectiveness against Golden Order incantations and enemies that utilize them. It enhances the weapon’s overall utility and situational advantage.
Bastard’s Stars
The Bastard’s Stars now possess a chance to spawn clusters of stars upon hitting enemies with basic attacks. This creates an additional layer of damage, augmenting your regular attacks with bursts of celestial energy. It provides a consistent source of supplementary damage.
Devourer’s Scepter
Like the Blasphemous Blade, the Devourer’s Scepter restores health upon defeating enemies. This encourages an aggressive playstyle, allowing you to sustain your momentum through challenging encounters. Consider it a powerful tool for maintaining health and pressure.
Axe of Godfrey
The Axe of Godfrey empowers charge attacks, increasing your Attack Power as you maintain a charge. This synergizes well with builds that prioritize heavy, deliberate attacks. It rewards strategic planning and timing to maximize damage output.
Bolt of Gransax
Using the Bolt of Gransax’s Ash of War grants a temporary lightning buff. This enhances your weapon with electrifying energy, boosting your attack power and potentially inflicting the lightning status effect on enemies. It provides a burst of offensive power when needed most.
Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear
Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear enhances your Attack Power when near Blood Loss. This incentivizes builds that focus on inflicting bleed damage, rewarding aggressive play with increased offensive capabilities. Players must balance risk and reward to fully utilize this weapon.
Giant’s Red Braid
The Giant’s Red Braid’s Ash of War spawns pillars of fire when making sweeping attacks. This creates a fiery inferno around you, damaging enemies within a wide radius. It excels at crowd control and area denial, providing exceptional battlefield control.
Grafted Dragon
Critical hits with the Grafted Dragon cause the dragon head to spew flames around the enemy. This adds an additional layer of fiery damage to your critical strikes, potentially igniting your foes and inflicting further damage over time.
How to Farm Legendary Weapons in Nightreign
Obtaining Legendary Weapons often involves challenges. While they occasionally drop as rare loot from bosses, the probability remains low. The most dependable method involves participating in Shifting Earth events. These occurrences dynamically alter the landscape of Limgrave, influencing enemy placements and boss encounters. Completing these events offers increased chances of encountering special elite enemies. Defeating these enhanced foes significantly boosts your likelihood of acquiring these coveted Legendary Weapons.
