Elden Ring Nightreign’s Best Guardian Build Is Hidden Behind His Remembrance Questline

by

The game titled Elden Ring Nightreign, created by FromSoft, is their foray into an online cooperative Roguelike game. It offers eight distinct character class choices, referred to as Nightfarers. Contrary to assumption, each class doesn’t appear to have unique advantages and disadvantages; however, the Guardian class, which was previously deemed average, has recently shown promise.

Based on a recent Reddit post, it’s worth noting that the Guardian becomes significantly more powerful after completing its Remembrance questline, as hidden within its storyline are relics capable of elevating the Guardian’s abilities to an even higher level. If you’ve been considering giving this Nightfarer a go, now could be the ideal moment.

The Guardian class in Elden Ring Nightreign has a lot of potential





Initially, Guardian might not appear to be an elite choice, but upon closer inspection, his abilities offer more than initially meets the eye. Although his damage output is moderate compared to other classes, and even his tank role seems adequate, he excels in health (S) and stamina (A). This suggests that he was built for a tankier, crowd control-focused team position. However, a player has discovered that Guardian’s true potential extends beyond these roles.

Reddit Post

As per a Reddit post shared mere days after the game’s debut, a player proposes that completing all four Remembrance rewards is key to effectively utilizing Guardian. With enhanced skills and capabilities, this character transforms into an unparalleled frontline and crowd control powerhouse. Moreover, he can also provide healing abilities!

Before embarking on the main storyline, players must fulfill certain requirements such as:

1. Unlocking the journal at the Roundtable Hold.
2. Acquiring the Revenant character, a necessity for Chapter 8.
3. Farming memory fragments by vanquishing Nightlords.

At the break of the fifth day, approximately 3.5 million Nightfarers prepared to fight the darkness, as part of #ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN. We appreciate your unwavering enthusiasm!

In Chapter 4, it’s our task to conquer the Stone Guardian Golem and access the Stone Stake. In Chapter 6, there’s an enigmatic traveler’s demise in Roundtable Hold, which eventually grants us the Guardian’s Chalice. Lastly, in Chapter 7, we need to track down and vanquish the Demon Trader to acquire a tome that will net us the Third Volume artifact.

To access Chapter 9, we need to gather sufficient memory pieces and have already unlocked the Revenant. In the end, the Guardian grants pardon to the Recluse, wrapping up the storyline and awarding us the Witch’s Brooch and a special skin as rewards.

Make sure to finish the Remembrance quests in Nightreign

With these fresh artifacts, the Guardian’s powers undergo a significant enhancement. The Steel Shield deflects adversary attacks while sustaining little stamina drain, simultaneously returning damage to assailants. Whirlwind now lasts longer and recharges quicker. Wings of Redemption enable you to heal allies in an area of effect and revive fallen comrades with complete invulnerability.

In many games, players and gaming groups frequently prioritize which character deals the most damage. However, the late-game build of the Guardian class demonstrates that possessing utility and survivability is just as crucial, particularly when playing in coordinated trios. As the game’s difficulty may increase over time, having a Guardian on your team might eventually become indispensable for accessing top-tier content.

Just released, the game’s first post-launch update brings numerous improvements particularly for solo gamers, aiming to create a more balanced playing field. Meanwhile, it was also announced that the game has now sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide. As we return to our Guardian character, it seems a good moment to reevaluate our strategy.
