- In Elden Ring Nightreign, players can experience the game's roguelite spin solo or team up as trios for co-op gameplay.
- To play the game solo, use the Matchmaking Settings menu to change the Expedition Type to 'Single-Player.' The menu can be found by interacting with the Table of Lost Grace at Roundtable Hold.
- For those who prefer a pure single-player experience, the full Nightreign experience can also be enjoyed entirely offline.
Elden Ring Nightreign is built around cooperative play. The game represents a stark departure for FromSoftware, as the developer’s Soulslike games have always catered to single-player experiences. That said, you can still enjoy Nightreign solo, although you might find it notoriously difficult. Still want to do it? Here’s how to play Elden Ring Nightreign solo.
Elden Ring Nightreign: How to Play Solo
To play Elden Ring Nightreign in the singleplayer mode, you only need to change your Expedition Type to singleplayer. You’ll find this option at the bottom of the Matchmaking Settings menu, which pops up after interacting with the Table of Lost Grace. Change the slider to ‘Single-Player,’ then switch back to the main Expedition tab, select a target, and hit the Commence Expedition button. Check out the images below for the exact screen.
Shortly after this, you’ll land in Limveld solo, facing the daunting task of surviving all three nights on your lonesome. To help balance things, the game turns down the damage enemies can inflict while also lowering their HP pools.
That said, you can still get overwhelmed by the mobs fairly easily, and the Night bosses at the end of each day are still quite gruelling, let alone the onerous Nightlords who are the main target of each expedition.
Is Elden Ring Nightreign Available Offline?
While the option to play solo makes Nightreign more attractive for many players, you might ask if it’s available online. Most story-mode single-player games do not require the internet to play. However, in this case, Nightreign is a co-op game. So, naturally, there can be some doubts.
Fortunately, Elden Ring Nightreign is available offline, meaning you can play the game without an active internet connection, even when its servers are down. There are no microtransactions or battle passes either.
