Discover Essential Information About the Mystery Surrounding the Crater in Elden Ring Nightreign, Covering Its Position, Rewards, and Beyond.

In the domain of Elden Ring Nightreign, there lie hidden gems that might slip past you during your pursuit of the Nightlords. But if you spare a moment to delve into the unexplored territories of Limveld, you’ll be richly rewarded with some of the strongest gear in the game. The top spots in the game materialize only during the Shifting Earth occurrences. These are spontaneous events that can happen post a Nightlord‘s defeat. Although these areas brim with formidable bosses, overcoming them is also the key to amassing the most Runes, along with superior weapons. Moreover, some of these areas house altars for weapon enhancement up to the Legendary level as well.

One such place is referred to as the ‘Crater’, a site that becomes accessible following the defeat of characters named Galdius and Adel. Herein lies valuable information regarding the Crater’s secret in Elden Ring Nightreign, including its location, how to access it, and additional details.

How To Reach the Crater in Elden Ring Nightreign

On Limveld, the Crater emerges following a significant geological shift. To clarify, a Shifting Earth event refers to random occurrences that pop up on the Limveld map at scheduled intervals, either after defeating a specific number of Nightlords or vanquishing the final boss. These events reveal previously undiscovered regions of the map, filled with new adversaries and extraordinary items, many of which are legendary tier. However, due to their hidden nature, these areas host formidable foes that can only be overcome after reaching Day 2 and achieving at least Level 10. It’s possible to tackle these areas on Day 1, but doing so on Day 2 is more advantageous.

The Crater lies south of Limveld, but it’s accessible only during an Earth Shift. Essentially, it’s a reimagined and compacted version of Mount Gelmir from Elden Ring’s initial design. Similar to Gelmir and Volcano Manor, the Crater boasts some challenging platforming sequences. Yet, if you solve its hidden mystery, you’ll be richly rewarded with top-tier loot.

How To Find the Secret in the Crater

To unravel the Mystery of the Crater, move towards the heart of the area. At the base of the Crater lies a Vigorous Gargoyle. Swiftly pass by this stone creature and ascend the beams that guide you to the platform in the west. Travel across the platform until you encounter a Fire Priest boss. Overpower this boss, gain some levels, and continue moving west. You’ll discover a hole in the floor which leads to a lower level. Jump through the hole and progress towards the west. Once more, you will confront a group of Fire Monks. Eliminate these foes and carry on westward, searching for a platform at the edge to descend from. After another drop, proceed northwest using the bridge.

Traverse the path until you encounter a group of Flaming Chariots. You have the option to attack these chariots, or quickly move past them towards another Fire Prelate boss, who is protected by two Fire Monks. Defeat this boss to gain experience and advance. Eventually, at the lowest part of the Crater, you’ll encounter a Magma Wyrm boss. Overpower the Magma Wyrm to reveal the Crater’s secret. The Magma Wyrm has a significant weakness against Frost and Bleed. Having characters like Ironeye (a Ranged character) and an Executor in your team can be very beneficial when facing this boss.

As a victor over the fearsome Magma Wyrm, I find myself standing before an ancient altar within the arena. Activating this sacred relic will grant me the ability to elevate one of my weapons to Legendary status, significantly boosting my power in preparation for my upcoming encounter with the Nightlord of the Expedition.
