Are there any Elden Ring: Nightreign fans here? If so, we have some good news for you!
We’re excited to announce that a new expansion, Nightreign: Forsaken Hollows is coming to the game and will expand the world with new threats, locations, enemies and unique events that affect the environment.
Elden Ring Nightreign’s New Scholar Class Is Way Cooler Than It Sounds
However, the most intriguing addition is the new Nightfarer Scholar. Its playstyle is based on knowledge, observation and the Arcane, promising a whole new quality of combat and exploration.
If you want to find out who the Scholar is, how this new character works on the battlefield and why players are already excited about it, read our guide!
What is Elden Ring About?
Before we discuss the expansion in detail, let’s recap what the game itself is about.
Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware, is a dark action RPG in which players travel an open world.
It offers challenging boss fights, secrets to discover and the freedom to develop your character in any way you choose.
This combination of skill, tactics and exploration ensures that each playthrough is unique.
What is the Scholar Class in Nightreign DLC?
The Scholar class is a character based on Arcane magic, whose main weapon is not only power, but also knowledge and observation of enemies.
In gameplay, he uses light swords and daggers, combining speed with precision.
During gameplay, the Scholar can:
- read ancient tomes to gain enhancements,
- study plants that affect their abilities,
- inflict debuffs on opponents, visible as special markers above the enemy’s head.
In addition, he has a spectacular Ultimate ability known as Summon Condemned.
With this ability, he summons condemned creatures to fight on his side. What is interesting, his mechanic is similar to the abilities of the Everdark Libra boss, also known as the Creature of Night, which is considered one of the most challenging opponents in the game.
All this makes their playstyle more tactical than other classes.
Forsaken Hollows – What Else Do We Know?
As FromSoftware keeps many details under wraps for now, information about the expansion is limited. However, we do know that, alongside the Scholar, a second Nightfarer called the Undertaker will be coming to the game. This character will use the Faith attribute and heavy melee weapons, such as maces.
Forsaken Hollows will also introduce several important new features, including:
- new locations and dungeons,
- another Shifting Earth event,
- unique bosses and enemies.
Additionally, it has been revealed that the DLC will be released on 4 December.
Conclusion
That’s all you need to know about Nightreign: Forsaken Hollows and the Scholar.
