A new spin on an old favorite.

Elden Ring Nightreign is dead, but modders are dabbing on its corpse, with one porting an entire Dark Souls 2 DLC zone as a playable map

Modder Doneda has released a mod for Elden Ring Nightreign that ported Dark Souls 2's Frozen Eleum Loyce and Frigid Outskirts as a standalone map. This mod, available on YouTube, showcases Doneda's expertise in Dark Souls 2, as they have previously restored a cut sewers map. While the Brume Tower may be Doneda's favorite DS2 level, Eleum Loyce remains a dear friend, offering a wide open Outskirts and a walled city that can mimic the mini open world of Limveld.

Doneda has also proposed recontextualizing the underground chaos arena, where the Burnt Ivory King is fought, into a night two circle narrowing down. The new map is already available for download on the Nightreign Nexus, requiring Mod Engine 3 for installation. Doneda intends to create more modded Nightreign maps, and followers can find them on YouTube or support the modder via Ko-fi.

Despite a love/hate relationship with Nightreign, Doneda appreciates the game's Deep of Night update, which has introduced incredible boss fights and challenges.
