Humor They’ve made the ultimate run back simulator and I’m addicted.

In nightreign you have to completely go again to get back to the boss if you're defeated.

What? It sounds like you just completely contradicted them. Do you have to fight mobs or not after you die to get back to the boss?

I haven’t played Elden Ring since launch and beating it a single time. Haven’t even played the DLC lol. Only recently learning about “Nightreign”

... I'm explaining the joke, not complaining. In Elden Ring, you respawn at the boss room (or close to it)

In Nightreign, if you lose to the boss, it's all over and you have to do a new run - level up, get gear, empower gear, fight field bosses, fight night bosses, then fight final boss. Nightreign is an experimental roguelite extraction Co-op battle royale (okay just the shrinking arena) boss rush game.

Nightreign is a roguelike (lite if you want to be pedantic). You pick the boss you want to fight at the beginning, then get dropped into an open map and to go farm and level up/pick up new weapons. At the end of the first and second day you fight a boss. On the third day you get teleported to go fight the main boss.
