Gaping Jaws has undoubtedly been probably the most spectacular of the fights up to now, offering each a fantastic problem and dazzling spectacle. Darkdrift Knight, then again, was a take a look at of endurance and energy, whereas most not too long ago, the Everdark Sentient Pest gives a battle that’s enjoyable to be part of, however not significantly laborious.
That’s excellent news for these of you studying this information. For those who’re not fairly certain how one can deal with the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest, they’re fortuitously a breeze to take down as soon as you realize precisely what to do. On that be aware, right here’s how one can beat the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest in Nightreign.
Methods to beat Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest in Nightreign
The Everdark Sovereign model of Sentient Pest (often known as Gnoster, Knowledge of Night time) is a little bit of a ache in Nightreign. You’ve this big, tanky scorpion and this flying Poison-inflicting moth, which means you need each robust melee and ranged characters. Then the pair merge collectively and start conjuring magic laser beams throughout the world which might be virtually assured to down gamers… It’s all a really fairly nightmare.
That mentioned, Sentient Pest’s new, enhanced battle doesn’t really really feel as difficult as you would possibly’ve anticipated, particularly in the event you’re properly ready. The battle, as per standard, begins with the second part, and with a fiery weapon handy, you possibly can attain the third part comparatively rapidly and never fear about these magic laser beams.
To problem this boss, open your Expeditions menu through the Roundtable and choose the purple model of Sentient Pest from the very backside of the Goal listing (proven above).
If they aren’t accessible for you, this implies it’s essential to defeat the unique model of the Sentient Pest first earlier than their Everdark model turns into accessible.
Listed here are some issues to notice earlier than setting off on this Expedition:
- The battle begins with the Sentient Pest’s second part, so each Gnoster and his scorpion counterpart, Faurtis Stoneshield, can be connected to 1 one other. They’ll additionally dish out magical pillars/beams that can stagger you, and also you wish to keep away from these as greatest as you possibly can.
- Sentient Pest stays weak to Fireplace, and I’d argue they’re extra vulnerable to Fireplace Harm throughout this battle than their unique battle, so make sure to carry alongside a Fireplace weapon the place you possibly can.
- Gnoster (the moth) is immune to Magic, Lightning, Holy, Insanity, Poison, and Sleep. Faurtis (the scorpion) is immune to Slash, Customary, Magic, Lightning, Holy, and Insanity. In consequence, you ideally wish to carry alongside weapons that deal Pierce, Strike, Fireplace, Frostbite, Scarlet Rot, or Bleed Harm.
- Raider and Ironeye are nice for this boss. Raider may be very tanky and hard-hitting, and with a fiery Colossal Weapon or in my occasion, a Mace, he can deplete Faurtir’s HP with ease. Ironeye is nice to have for preventing Gnoster, who usually flies across the enviornment, and I extremely advocate bringing at the very least one ranged participant into this battle. Melee gamers – particularly Raiders – ought to simply be capable to poise-break the moth and assault it at any time when it’s close to the bottom.
- Choose up and eat any Neutralising Boluses in Limveld. Gnoster dishes out Poison injury at instances, and having Poison Resistance will aid you negate this massively so you possibly can maintain preventing.
- Search for passive results and traits that present Bodily Harm Negation and Magic Harm Negation, as that is the injury sort that the Sentient Pest primarily offers.
- Goal for Stage 13 or above and improve your weapons. Everdark fights are more durable than your common battle, due to this fact you ought to be more durable too. Purple-rarity weapons and being Stage 13 or greater are one factor that make this battle breezy.
As we’ve simply talked about, the battle begins with Sentient Pest’s second part, so their strikes in the course of the first portion of the battle shouldn’t be shocking to you.

This specific battle additionally options two separate well being bars. So, the Sentient Pest gained’t transition at half-HP like prior Everdark Sovereign fights in opposition to Gaping Jaws and Darkdrift Knight. As a substitute, the Everdark Sentient Pest’s third part begins as soon as its preliminary well being bar is totally depleted.
As soon as the third part begins, there’ll be a brief pause right here earlier than Animus, Ascendant Mild – a crimson, spectral butterfly-like creature – seems. This creature revives each Faurtis Stoneshield and Gnoster to roughly 25% of their HP earlier than usually avoiding you and your staff, however don’t panic: Faurtis and Gnoster will use their first part strikes right here. Nothing new or scary!
Now, what it is advisable to do right here is choose an enemy and battle them collectively. Faurtis Stoneshield (the scorpion) is extra troubling, so I like to recommend your entire staff preventing him first. When you deplete his HP, Animus will fly over and start sacrificing his HP to take over Faurtis’ corpse; that is your alternative to assault Animus.
As soon as Animus then utterly possesses Faurtis, you wish to battle Faurtis once more and rapidly. He’ll glow crimson this time, and alongside his standard assaults, he’ll cease on both aspect of his physique, unleashing crimson shockwaves by way of the bottom that you just wish to roll away from. He’s additionally able to unleashing a roar earlier than charging across the enviornment, leaving crimson shockwaves in his path.
For those who don’t kill Faurtis fast sufficient, Animus will make your life considerably more durable by reappearing to battle you himself, and this time, he’ll conjure these terrible laser beams from Sentient Pest’s second part that all of us hate. Not solely that, however they’ll be greater and all of the extra brutal. You wish to keep away from this the place potential.
As soon as Faurtis has been felled (once more!), Animus will reappear. I like to recommend working over to Gnoster and rapidly felling them subsequent, and similar to Faurtis, Animus will fly over and sacrifice a few of its HP to own the magical moth. Whereas Animus does that, ensure that to make use of this window of alternative to assault it.
As soon as Gnoster has been possessed, you then wish to deal with killing it as rapidly as potential, as doing so will doubtless finish the battle. For those who don’t kill it rapidly, Animus can reappear and start attacking you itself. Gnoster’s new strikes are primarily enhanced variations of his present moveset: anticipate extra projectiles, extra seize assaults, extra clouds of poison, and extra magic rain. These are nonetheless simply prevented by dodging, nevertheless.
Killing Gnoster now will doubtless finish the battle, supplied Animus has taken sufficient injury. If not, you will have to assault Animus to finish the battle – which shouldn’t take a lot – or as soon as once more, assault whichever creature it subsequent possesses. In the end, the boss can be felled from the injury you do, or the injury it does to itself by possessing each Gnoster and Faurtis.
Upon efficiently beating the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest, you’ll be rewarded with 25 Sovereign Sigils to spend on outfits, Shifting Earth occasions, or new Relics, together with the brand new Darkish Night time of the Smart Relic which is nice for Revenant and Duchess followers.

ONGBAL additionally takes a really completely different method to this battle when enjoying solo. You’ll discover that in Sentient Pest’s third part, fairly than preventing Gnoster or Faurtis, he kites them till there’s a possibility to assault Animus.
