Summon Your Destiny: Master the Elden Ring Nightreign Revenant Remembrance Questline!
The Revenant is a powerful class within the Elden Ring: Nightreign expansion, but reaching her full potential requires solving an elaborate kind of time-consuming multi-staged objective chain. This complete guide takes through all the steps of the Elden Ring Nightreign Revenant Remembrance Questline, so you may successfully unlock the character, enhance her powers, and claim all rewards.
Unlocking the Revenant Character
Before one can perform her full character progression, the Revenant first needs to be successfully acquired.
Defeat Gladius ' Beast of Night: The Try-Settlers Expedition has to be cleared at least once with successful efforts.
Purchase the Frame: After the encounter with the boss (and, hopefully, after having recruited the Duchess by giving the Old Pocket Watch to the Priestess), go to the small Jar Bizarre NPC, who should now have Be-Smudged Frame supplies for sale.
The Night Idol Trial: After buying the frame and doing a short reload, time to head east into Roundtable Hold to where you are to find an interactive phantom. Interacting with this phantom will whisk you to an arena where you take down the Revenant or Night Idol before she will be eligible to become a playable character.
My Personal Tactics (Night Idol): The main challenge in the arena was handling the phantoms. The most effective strategy for me was to focus only on keeping the smaller phantoms away from the Night Idol. I ignored the Lord Skeleton phantom but stayed clear of the beam attack. Once her health went below 50%, I unleashed my ultimate Art of the Wild to quickly seal the deal.
Chapter 1: The Blade of the Night Fragment
Once you have unlocked and set the Revenant as your active character, you can then check into her Chapter One Remembrance at the Journal.
Driving the Personal Objective
The first stage of her quest involves several conversations to initiate her personal objective:
Speak with the Duchess several times until you get the dialogue option: "Why did you bring me here?".
Speak to the Recluse NPC, and then converse with the Guardian NPC.
After speaking with the Guardian twice, select the prompt: "Speak of the Revenant's Request" to initiate her personal objective.
Completing the Expedition Goal
The Revenant's personal goal requires her to be played from the Remembrance activation all the way through the completion of either the Try-Settlers or Dark Drift Night expedition.
Group Requirement: In Game play, only one player can complete a personal objective per expedition. With a full team of three players, this objective must be completed successfully three times in total.
Boss Vulnerability: The final boss, Gladius' Beast of Night, is especially weak to Holy Damage. Your best opportunity with the Revenant would be to use items such as the Godslayer Seal with Black Flame, which does enormous charged damage. Make sure to stock up on Starlight Shards from different traders to maintain your FP pool for survivability in prolonged combat.
Once successful, you will receive the Blade of Night Fragment.
Chapter Five: The Corrupted Challenger
After returning to the Roundtable Hold, present the Night Fragment to the Guardian, then use the nearby portal to leave the Remembrance. You should get the Small Make Bush Relic, and Chapter Five Remembrance will become available.
Chapter Initiating: Start the Remembrance and converse with the Duchess several times, eventually asking questions related to the "Knight's Corrosion."
Defeating the Corrosion: Find the Recluse in the new area of the Hold and speak with her, then sit on the nearby bench. This will transport you to a new area where you will defeat the Corrosion Boss.
Strategy: The most viable method here would be to summon different widely used companions and then focus mainly on dodging, letting the enemies gradually eliminate themselves.
Relic Reward: After the Corruption is defeated, check the nearby doll for you to return to the hold. Finish interacting with the portal to complete the Remembrance and receive the Revenant Chalice. This relic can be equipped at the Relic Right Station and fits into the Blue, Green, or Wild Card (White) slot.
Chapter Seven: Final Remembrance and Exclusive Garb
One last try with Revenant through the Try-Settlers Expedition will usually be taken before leaping to the final phase.
Preparation for the Ultimate Battle: For this run, maximizing Holy Damage is key. The combination of spells like Elder Stars Incantation and Black Flame might break Gladius into pieces.
The Contaminant Boss: After the Memory Fragment notification pops up, start Chapter Seven (speaking to Recluse and sitting on the bench). This time, you will engage with the Contaminant Boss that requires active participation. Summon allies to distract it, and use Revenant's main weapon in two-handed style to deal some well-deserved hits.
Final Rewards: Following some hefty cut-scenes (that I shall not spoil here), talking to Recluse and taking the portal completes your questline and unlocks two major rewards:
The Revenant Skin/Garb (Remembrance Outfit).
The Old Portrait Relic (Purple/Epic quality).
The Wardrobe in the East section of Roundtable Hold is now available for you to slip into this exclusive Remembrance outfit and buy new garb for all your characters. Thus ends the complete Elden Ring Nightreign Revenant Remembrance Questline.
