There are eight playable Nightfarers in Elden Ring Nightreign, but two must be unlocked. The first of these characters youâll be able to unlock is Duchess, who is a nimble character with a moveset that prioritizes dodging and sneak attacks. As such, characters who enjoy unleashing rapid attacks and leaping around the battlefield will want to get her as soon as possible.

Youâll be able to unlock Duchess pretty early in your playthrough of Nightreign. That is, provided youâve obtained a specific item and know when to talk to a certain NPC hanging out at the Roundtable Hold.
Your first expedition in Nightreign is called âTricephalosâ. Since thatâs your only option at the beginning of the game, youâll want to dive in and give it a go right away.
After completing the âTricephalosâ expedition for the first time, youâll automatically receive an item called Old Pocketwatch. With this in hand, go and speak to the Priestess in Roundtable Hold. Sheâs the NPC you first met upon arriving there, and she appears to always stay in the room where you begin your expeditions.
When you speak to the Priestess, sheâll mention the Old Pocketwatch and request that you return it to her. Opt to do so, and youâll soon find that this NPC isnât who you thought she was. Sheâll rip off her white robe to reveal that she is actually Duchess herself, which also unlocks her as a playable character.
When you want to switch to Duchess, just head to the Character Selection altar in Roundtable Hold and select her from the list. Now get out there and show the Nightlords whatâs what.
Elden Ring Nightreign is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PCs.
