Elden Ring Nightreign has loads of exhausting boss fights. The Nightlords, that are your ultimate challenges after reaching Day Three, are among the many hardest. Fortunately, there are some which are simpler than others.
On one of many missions, Augur, your goal is the Maris, Fathom of Night time. This amorphous blue monster is definitely simple in comparison with the opposite Nightlords because it doesn’t appear to assault fairly often. The soundtrack in the course of the struggle is also surprisingly calm too.
Preparation
Preparation isn’t as important for this Nightlord as it’s for others, however you’ll want to take a ranged character.. Maris floats round within the air, generally making it exhausting to achieve. Ironeye or Recluse might be efficient right here. Nevertheless, Maris isn’t often too far out of attain, so melee lessons gained’t be ignored of the motion.
Whereas unconfirmed, Maris appears extra inclined to lightning harm, which might make sense given it’s a water elemental being. Whereas traversing Limveld, prioritize camps which have the lightning icon so you may probably safe a corresponding elemental weapon.
Methods for combating Magis
Maris will often begin off with two fundamental assaults. It fires off round 5 slow-moving bubbles that hone in in your place and finally explode for the primary assault. The second assault is an easy tidal wave that covers a small space. Each are simple to dodge. For the previous, simply keep away from the bubbles and don’t be round after they blow up. For the latter, simply dodge by way of the wave or dash out of the wave to your facet.
Maris has two different bigger assaults. One sees it spin round, making a whirlpool round it. This one often solely hits when you’re in shut vary; when you’re utilizing a ranged character like Ironeye, you should not have any drawback avoiding it. When you’re up shut, simply dodge by way of it.
Maris will cost you for the opposite assault. This one is definitely telegraphed: You possibly can see Maris winding up by doing a flip or two within the air earlier than coming again down. It’s simple to dodge this one.
Ultimately, the battlefield will glow extra blue, and Maris will begin summoning tentacles to assault you when you get too shut. They’re caught within the space they sprouted, so it’s simple to keep away from them. Throughout this part, Maris can begin dropping those self same sluggish transferring explosive bubbles, besides there’s like 10 of them now. Use the identical technique as final time: Simply keep away from them.
One of many final assaults is when it flies excessive within the air and lays an egg that slowly descends onto the sphere. To be sincere, I do not know what occurs if the assault is allowed to finish as a result of my teammates at all times managed to shoot it down earlier than it was in a position to do something. You shouldn’t have any bother stopping that.
Maris isn’t very aggressive and its assaults are most likely the best to study and keep away from out of the entire Nightlords within the recreation. Simply be affected person and it’ll finally go down.
