How many expeditions does Elden Ring Nightreign have?

Elden Ring Nightreign will feature a total of eight expeditions after its official release on May 30, 2025. You can access only one expedition after the tutorial run, where you'll have to defeat the Nightlord. Doing so will unlock the subsequent ones.

Nightreign distinguishes itself from previous FromSoftware titles by integrating aspects of different genres, such as survival and roguelike, while preserving the hallmark elements of Soulsborne games.

You engage in brief expedition runs, where you have to defeat enemies, level up, overcome night bosses, and ultimately confront a specific Nightlord in a battle on the third day.

Here are more details regarding all expeditions available on Elden Ring Nightreign.

There are eight expeditions in Nightreign. You can only play Tricephalos at the start, and its Nightlord - Gladius - needs to be defeated to unlock six more expeditions. Furthermore, you can unlock the eighth one - Night Aspect - after conquering four or more expeditions.

The following are all expeditions and their Nightlords:

1) Tricephalos

• Nightlord: Gladius, Beast of Night

2) Gaping Jaw

• Nightlord: Adel, Baron of Night

3) Sentient Pest

• Nightlord: Gnoster, Wisdom of Night

4) Augur

• Nightlord: Maris, Fathom of Night

5) Equilibrious Beast

• Nightlord: Libra, Creature of Night

6) Darkdrift Knight

• Nightlord: Fulghor, Champion of Nightglow

7) Fissure in the Fog

• Nightlord: Caligo, Miasma of Night

8) Night Aspect

• Nightlord: Heolstor, the Nightlord

Notably, after you finish Tricephalos to unlock more expeditions, you do not have to finish them sequentially. You can hop into any expedition with friends or solo and try defeating the Nightlord.

Similar to a roguelike game, each expedition in Nightreign will be slightly different because of the RNG aspects. Nevertheless, it is crucial to level up your character as fast as possible, as reaching level 12 or higher before confronting a Nightlord on the third day is recommended.
