Elden Ring Nightreign’s main gameplay loop is centered around the player going out alone or with a group of two other players and completing expeditions. Whetheryou’re playing aloneor with a party, you’ll want to finish out the run in order to get the full rewards or possibly complete the expedition.
The key to a successful run is to maximize the time during each day and make your character as strong as possible before facing the mandatory Nightboss. Here’s exactly how long each day is and how long it will take to finish an expedition.
How Long Is An Expedition In Elden Ring Nightreign
Every run is formatted in the same way, with there being two days, two nights, and the third day, which is the fight against the Nightlord of your chosen expedition. Thetwo days have a set timer of 14 minutesfrom when the game starts to when the battle with the Nightboss begins. The circle will start closing in during this time, but you’re otherwise free to spend that 14 minutes however you see fit, such as upgrading your flask.
The battles against the Nightbosses and Nightlord don’t have a timer, so those fights can last for however long or short your party makes it especiallydepending on your classes. With the flexibility of the three difficult boss fights, players canexpect a run to last anywhere between forty to fifty minutes, with it possibly stretching to an hour if your boss fights take a very long time.
you may also take a break in the room after the second Nightboss and before the Nightlord, which can extend your time.
Forty to fifty minutes is how long it will take if your party makes it the entire time, though it’s very possible to have your party wiped out earlier during a boss fight and have your run end early. No matter how long it takes you to finish an expedition, seeing it through to the end willgive you rewards based on how far you got, so even a short expedition is worthwhile.
How Long Does It Take To Beat Elden Ring Nightreign
There isa small storyadded toNightreign, though the overall playtime in the game can range widely from player to player. Beating the game relies on actually clearing expeditions; doing so very efficiently can have you rolling credits in a few hours, while those who struggle a bit more can invest much more time. Rolling credits is also optional after meeting the requirements to finish the game, and you can continue to run additional expeditions to make your characters stronger or to just have fun. After beating the first mandatory expedition, you’ll be able tochoose to tackle the next expeditions in any order you want, with you only needing to beat four more.
