Unveiling The Forsaken Hollows: Your Path to New Adventures

Navigating the Nightreign Expansion: Accessing The Forsaken Hollows

For enthusiasts of FromSoftware's challenging titles, new downloadable content (DLC) often brings with it an element of mystery regarding its accessibility. Fortunately, the path to The Forsaken Hollows within Elden Ring Nightreign is less obscure than some of its predecessors, eschewing the cryptic requirements seen in expansions like Dark Souls' Artorias of the Abyss.

Prerequisites for Entry: Fulfilling the Nightreign's Demands

To embark on your journey into The Forsaken Hollows, you must first satisfy a set of specific conditions, echoing the unlocking mechanics for characters like Duchess and Revenant in the core game. The primary task involves vanquishing formidable Nightlords, an undertaking many seasoned players may have already accomplished.

Critical Steps to Uncover the Hidden Realm

Engaging with the new content of The Forsaken Hollows requires two key achievements. Firstly, successfully overcome two distinct Nightlord expeditions; the initial Tricephalos encounter counts towards this goal. For a less strenuous second victory, the Augur expedition is highly recommended. Secondly, ensure you have recruited both the Undertaker and Scholar Nightfarers to your cause. Specific guides for acquiring these allies will be provided once precise details are available.

The Gateway to New Quests: Locating the Chapel

Upon the successful completion of these prerequisites, proceed to the Roundtable Hold's east wing and seek out the Small Jar Merchant. You will find that the passage behind him has now opened, revealing a chapel. This newly accessible area marks your entry point to 'The Great Hollow' event, a shifting earth challenge, and the expedition to confront the Balancers boss.

Expanding Your Nightreign Experience: Deep of Night Encounters

Beyond The Forsaken Hollows, new DLC elements will begin to manifest within the Deep of Night. However, it is crucial to note that to experience these additional features, you must engage in matchmaking with other players who also possess the DLC. This means that encountering new content in random multiplayer sessions is not guaranteed unless your companions also own the expansion.
