Highlight of the story: Everdark Sovereign brings a brutal twist to boss fights in Elden Ring Nightreign. With new phases, aggressive moves and rare rewards like Sovereign Sigils, these expeditions push your team to the limit. Here is everything you need to know before facing the first challenge, Adel the Gaping Jaw.
Everdark Sovereign is a tougher version of Nightlord expeditions in Elden Ring Nightreign. These missions begin like the standard runs, but the final boss turns into a nightmare. From the start of the fight, the boss is more aggressive, hits harder and has more health than usual.
Before starting, make sure you are well-prepared:
These changes make every moment of the boss fight more intense and chaotic, even for skilled players.
If you defeat an Everdark Sovereign boss, your team earns Sovereign Sigils. This new currency can be spent at the Collector Signboard vendor in Roundtable Hold, located near the shoreline. You unlock this vendor after your first successful expedition.
Sovereign Sigils can be used for:
New character skinsSpecial chalices to improve buildsRare relicsSpawning Shifting Earth zones in future expeditions
These rewards help you customise your gameplay experience and make it easier to handle future bosses.
The first Everdark Sovereign fight features Adel, the Gaping Jaw. This version of the boss is far more aggressive and unpredictable. You will face powerful area attacks and a new cyclone mechanic that forces players to stay close or risk constant damage.
Weaknesses: Poison and Scarlet Rot

Stay inside the cyclone at all times and use Spiritsprings to get back in if you are thrown out. If you fall behind, it is hard to recover. Use poison-based attacks and try to stagger Adel before it builds momentum.
Everdark Sovereign fights are the hardest challenge in Elden Ring Nightreign right now. Adel is just the beginning. More bosses will join this high-level roster soon. If you want powerful rewards and an unforgettable fight, sharpen your blades and face the storm.
