Oh, weekly rotating Everdark Sovereigns FromSoftware really knows how to keep us masochists coming back for more punishment—and loving every second of it. That new NPC better have some seriously OP relics because these beefed-up Nightlords sound like they’ll make Malenia look like a tutorial boss.

FromSoftware really said 'you thought Nightlords were tough Hold my Estus' with these Everdark Sovereigns. Weekly boss rotations and relic rewards Guess I’m canceling my plans to die repeatedly in style. Manipulating Nightreign’s events with sigils sounds like a cool twist—now if only I could manipulate my skill level to actually beat these bosses. Classic FromSoft, always keeping us on our toes.
