Elden Ring Nightreign has loads of exhausting boss fights. The Nightlords, that are your last challenges after reaching Day Three, are among the many hardest. Fortunately, there are some which might be simpler than others.
On one of many missions, Augur, your goal is the Maris, Fathom of Night time. This amorphous blue monster is definitely simple in comparison with the opposite Nightlords because it doesn’t appear to assault fairly often. The soundtrack throughout the battle is also surprisingly calm too.
Preparation
Preparation isn’t as important for this Nightlord as it’s for others, however make sure you take a ranged character.. Maris floats round within the air, typically making it exhausting to achieve. Ironeye or Recluse might be efficient right here. Nevertheless, Maris isn’t normally too far out of attain, so melee lessons gained’t be omitted of the motion.
Whereas unconfirmed, Maris appears extra inclined to lightning harm, which might make sense given it’s a water elemental being. Whereas traversing Limveld, prioritize camps which have the lightning icon so you possibly can doubtlessly safe a corresponding elemental weapon.
Methods for preventing Magis
Maris will normally begin off with two fundamental assaults. It fires off round 5 slow-moving bubbles that hone in in your place and finally explode for the primary assault. The second assault is a straightforward tidal wave that covers a small space. Each are simple to dodge. For the previous, simply avoid the bubbles and don’t be round once they blow up. For the latter, simply dodge by way of the wave or dash out of the wave to your facet.
Maris has two different bigger assaults. One sees it spin round, making a whirlpool round it. This one normally solely hits if you happen to’re in shut vary; if you happen to’re utilizing a ranged character like Ironeye, you should not have any drawback avoiding it. If you happen to’re up shut, simply dodge by way of it.
Maris will cost you for the opposite assault. This one is definitely telegraphed: You may see Maris winding up by doing a flip or two within the air earlier than coming again down. It’s simple to dodge this one.
Finally, the battlefield will glow extra blue, and Maris will begin summoning tentacles to assault you if you happen to get too shut. They’re caught within the space they sprouted, so it’s simple to keep away from them. Throughout this section, Maris can begin dropping those self same gradual shifting explosive bubbles, besides there’s like 10 of them now. Use the identical technique as final time: Simply keep away from them.
One of many final assaults is when it flies excessive within the air and lays an egg that slowly descends onto the sphere. To be trustworthy, I don’t know what occurs if the assault is allowed to finish as a result of my teammates all the time managed to shoot it down earlier than it was in a position to do something. You should not have any bother stopping that.
Maris shouldn’t be very aggressive and its assaults are in all probability the best to be taught and keep away from out of all the Nightlords within the recreation. Simply be affected person and it’ll finally go down.
