In Elden Ring Nightreign, you can fight the Nightlord Adel. This grotesque dino with a gaping maw can be a challenge for many players, but we will show you how to defeat him effortlessly.
What should I know about Adel? Adel is the second Nightlord on the list and the first in the rotation, who can be challenged as the extremely difficult Eternal Dark Sovereignty form since Update 1.01.3.
Even in his normal form, the beast is a challenge, as he likes to chew on his enemies, can cause bleeding, and thus regenerate his health. Additionally, he is very nimble and can wildly fly through the air in his second phase, covering the entire battlefield with lightning.
Many fans despair and don’t know what to do to defeat this lord. Fortunately, you have found us, as we will provide you with important information to make the fight against Adel more pleasant.
So you can defeat Adel effortlessly
How can I defeat Adel? First, you should know what weaknesses Adel has. In summary, the following can be reported:
- Greatest weakness: Poison
- Resistances with low value: Poison, Blight, Frost, Sleep
While poison is a strong option for his normal version, you should not rely on it too much for the Eternal Dark Sovereignty form. His resistances are much higher there, and by the time you activate poisoning, your squad could already be wiped out.
What is especially important is the class you are using and how your squad is composed. It is advisable to have at least one Iron Eye present. Also good are the Guardian, to be able to quickly revive his teammates, and the Scavenger, to deal massive damage to health and stamina – basically, a group of some of the best classes in the game.
Lastly, you should have taken enough Blood-stopping Boluses. If the monster catches you, the chance of bleeding decreases with these. Boluses provide you with permanent buffs. So if Adel manages to make you bleed, he not only heals himself, but also gains a buff, and you should definitely prevent that.
Basically, you need a lot of patience to defeat Adel, along with good nerves and a squad that knows how to maintain enough distance at the right times.
What attacks should I watch out for? Adel has 3 attacks that can weaken or completely annihilate your fighter:
- The Earthquake Attack
- The Bite
- The Tornado (only seen in the Eternal Dark Sovereignty form)
The first often comes with many lightning strikes. It is important that you jump into the air at the right moment during the earthquake. This way you will not be hit.
As for the bite, you must always keep your distance and run away as soon as his mouth glows purple and he wants to catch you.
The tornado is a new attack from Adel that has joined with his new form. To enter the eye of the storm and finally defeat the boss, you must use one of the Spirit Springs to leap over the outer wall of the tornado.
These are all the important information we can provide you to defeat Adel as effortlessly as possible. You can also find more information about Elden Ring: Nightreign here in our overview: Here are 8 tips on hidden features in Elden Ring: Nightreign that you can easily miss
