After starting an expedition in Nightreign, your goal is to survive two days in Limveld, level up fast, and acquire prominent equipment. Consequently, you can have the upper hand in a battle against the final boss of the expedition (on day three), known as the Nightlord.

Furthermore, you can only access one expedition, Tricephalos, at the beginning of Nightreign. Since each expedition features a specific Nightlord, you must finish that by defeating Gladius to unlock six more runs.

If you manage to defeat four Nightlords in four different expeditions, the eighth and the final Nightlord (Heolstor) will be available to tackle.

The following are all available Nightlords and their weaknesses in Nightreign:

1) Gladius, Beast of Night

• Expedition: Tricephalos
• Weak against: Holy

2) Adel, Baron of Night

• Expedition: Gaping Jaw
• Weak against: Poison

3) Gnoster, Wisdom of Night

• Expedition: Sentient Pest
• Weak against: Fire

4) Maris, Fathom of Night

• Expedition: Augur
• Weak against: Lightning

5) Libra, Creature of Night

• Expedition: Equilibrious Beast
• Weak against:

6) Fulghor, Champion of Nightglow

• Expedition: Darkdrift Knight
• Weak against: Madness

7) Caligo, Miasma of Night

• Expedition: Fissure in the Fog
• Weak against: Lightning

8) Heolstor, the Nightlord

• Expedition: Night Aspect
• Weak against: Holy

Notably, there's no specific order you need to follow to battle against the Nightlords. After defeating Gladius, hop onto any of your preferred expeditions to conquer it.

You will get distinct memory fragments for defeating them using each Nightfarer. Additionally, FromSoftware intends to include additional Nightlords in post-launch DLCs in the future.
