You wouldn’t think FromSoftware would showcase Elden Ring Nightreign’s cover star this close to release, but it’s finally the Wylder’s turn. Unofficially known as John Nightreign, he sports a winged helm and fights with a two-handed sword. He can also wield it in one hand and parry attacks with a buckler.
As for his skills, the Wylder has a wrist-mounted crossbow that fires a powerful explosive shot. His passive seems to be a modified dodge, which puts far more distance between him and his enemies. However, the most notable element is the grappling hook for traversal and latching onto enemies, pulling the Wylder close to attack.
Two more Nightfarers remain to be revealed – the rumored Executor and the summoner Revenant – so stay tuned for more updates. Elden Ring Nightreign launches on May 30th for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and PC.
