Thus far, the Everdark Sovereign Nightlords in Nightreign have been fairly the blended bag. Gaping Jaws has undoubtedly been essentially the most spectacular of the fights to this point, offering each a fantastic problem and dazzling spectacle. Darkdrift Knight, alternatively, was a check of endurance and power, whereas most just lately, the Everdark Sentient Pest supplies a battle that’s enjoyable to be part of, however not significantly onerous.
That’s excellent news for these of you studying this information. In the event you’re not fairly positive the best way to deal with the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest, they’re happily a breeze to take down as soon as you realize precisely what to do. On that word, right here’s the best way to beat the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest in Nightreign.
Easy methods to beat Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest in Nightreign
The Everdark Sovereign model of Sentient Pest (also referred to as Gnoster, Knowledge of Evening) is a little bit of a ache in Nightreign. You’ve this large, tanky scorpion and this flying Poison-inflicting moth, which means you need each sturdy melee and ranged characters. Then the pair merge collectively and start conjuring magic laser beams throughout the world which can be virtually assured to down gamers… It’s all a really fairly nightmare.
That stated, Sentient Pest’s new, enhanced battle doesn’t truly really feel as difficult as you would possibly’ve anticipated, particularly if you happen to’re nicely ready. The battle, as per regular, begins with the second section, and with a fiery weapon handy, you possibly can attain the third section comparatively shortly and never fear about these magic laser beams.
To problem this boss, open your Expeditions menu by way of the Roundtable and choose the purple model of Sentient Pest from the very backside of the Goal listing (proven above).
If they don’t seem to be out there for you, this implies you could defeat the unique model of the Sentient Pest first earlier than their Everdark model turns into out there.
Listed below are some issues to notice earlier than setting off on this Expedition:
- The battle begins with the Sentient Pest’s second section, so each Gnoster and his scorpion counterpart, Faurtis Stoneshield, might be hooked up to 1 one other. They’ll additionally dish out magical pillars/beams that may stagger you, and also you need to keep away from these as greatest as you possibly can.
- Sentient Pest stays weak to Hearth, and I’d argue they’re extra vulnerable to Hearth Harm throughout this battle than their unique battle, so be sure you carry alongside a Hearth 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, Normal, Magic, Lightning, Holy, and Insanity. In consequence, you ideally need to carry alongside weapons that deal Pierce, Strike, Hearth, Frostbite, Scarlet Rot, or Bleed Harm.
- Raider and Ironeye are nice for this boss. Raider could 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 typically flies across the area, and I extremely advocate bringing a minimum of one ranged participant into this battle. Melee gamers – particularly Raiders – ought to simply be capable to poise-break the moth and assault it every time it’s close to the bottom.
- Decide 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 kind 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, subsequently you ought to be more durable too. Purple-rarity weapons and being Stage 13 or larger are one factor that make this battle breezy.
As we’ve simply talked about, the battle begins with Sentient Pest’s second section, so their strikes in the course of the first portion of the battle shouldn’t be stunning to you. In the event you want any assist with that in any respect, check out our Sentient Pest boss information for his or her unique battle.
This explicit battle additionally options two separate well being bars. So, the Sentient Pest received’t transition at half-HP like prior Everdark Sovereign fights towards Gaping Jaws and Darkdrift Knight. As an alternative, the Everdark Sentient Pest’s third section begins as soon as its preliminary well being bar is totally depleted.
As soon as the third section begins, there’ll be a brief pause right here earlier than Animus, Ascendant Mild – a pink, spectral butterfly-like creature – seems. This creature revives each Faurtis Stoneshield and Gnoster to roughly 25% of their HP earlier than typically avoiding you and your staff, however don’t panic: Faurtis and Gnoster will use their first section strikes right here. Nothing new or scary!
Now, what it’s essential do right here is decide 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 need to battle Faurtis once more and shortly. He’ll glow pink this time, and alongside his regular assaults, he’ll cease on both aspect of his physique, unleashing pink shockwaves via the bottom that you simply need to roll away from. He’s additionally able to unleashing a roar earlier than charging across the area, leaving pink shockwaves in his path.
In the event you 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 section that all of us hate. Not solely that, however they’ll be greater and all of the extra brutal. You need to keep away from this the place attainable.
As soon as Faurtis has been felled (once more!), Animus will reappear. I like to recommend working over to Gnoster and shortly felling them subsequent, and identical to Faurtis, Animus will fly over and sacrifice a few of its HP to own the magical moth. Whereas Animus does that, be sure that to make use of this window of alternative to assault it.
As soon as Gnoster has been possessed, you then need to give attention to killing it as shortly as attainable, as doing so will seemingly finish the battle. In the event you don’t kill it shortly, Animus can reappear and start attacking you itself. Gnoster’s new strikes are primarily enhanced variations of his present moveset: count on extra projectiles, extra seize assaults, extra clouds of poison, and extra magic rain. These are nonetheless simply averted by dodging, nonetheless.
Killing Gnoster now will seemingly 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. Eventually, the boss might 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 Evening of the Clever Relic which is nice for Revenant and Duchess followers.

ONGBAL additionally takes a really totally different strategy to this battle when taking part in solo. You’ll discover that in Sentient Pest’s third section, slightly than preventing Gnoster or Faurtis, he kites them till there’s a chance to assault Animus. He solely assaults Animus throughout this portion of the battle, and nicely, as soon as Animus’ HP is depleted, the battle is over. That is another option to go in regards to the battle, and might be the best way you need to go about this battle if taking up the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest solo.
