Did You Know There Is A Way How To Beat Augur’s Everdark Sovereign In Elden Ring Nightreign

Why Augur’s Everdark Sovereign Deserves Your Time

First, why do you even need to take on this glorified floating jellyfish? Well, Nightreign’s spin on Elden Ring might just make you feel something new, and this boss fight delivers plenty of nostalgia while still being fresh in design. The Augur comes in with its predictable lightning weakness (no surprise there), but it’s the second phase where things get spicy. We’re talking Storm Ruler spicy.

Yes, you read that right. That old-school FromSoftware weapon gets its chance to shine here, and it’s the key to schooling the Everdark Sovereign. What’s better than beating a boss that floats smugly above your melee range? Smacking it out of the air with waves of magical energy like some medieval Zeus.

How to Beat Augur’s Everdark Sovereign

Okay, enough chit-chat. You’re here for tactics, and I won’t waste your time. Whenever you think you’re about to hit a rage-quit moment, just remember the steps below and keep cool.

Phase 1 – Jellyfish Jitters

1. Bring Lightning Weapons or Spells

Augur is still weak to lightning in this phase, so now’s the time to whip out your favorite bolts or a shiny lightning-enhanced blade. Forget frost or fire. That isn’t going to cut it here unless you feel like doubling your frustration.

1. Keep It Grounded

This phase is straightforward for ranged builds and slightly annoying for melee ones. Stick to getting close, landing a few strikes when you can, and dodging its area-of-effect (AoE) attacks. Discipline is key. No spamming.

Phase 2 – Storm Ruler Time

Here’s where things get wild in that classic FromSoftware way. Once you’ve finished phase one, you’ll be handed a Legendary version of your weapon infused with the one and only Storm Ruler skill. Sound familiar? Yeah, it’s a mix between the Storm King fight in Demon’s Souls and Yhorm from Dark Souls 3.

1. Upgrade the Weapon Immediately

First order of business once you hit the second phase is upgrading this weapon to its Legendary version. Yes, yes, it’s tedious, but skipping this is like fighting fire with a toothpick.

1. Use the Storm Ruler Skill

Here’s where the magic happens (literally). To use the skill effectively:

• • Press and hold the skill button (Left Trigger or L2). This charges the Storm Ruler and tops up your FP.
  • Watch for the visual cue (seriously, don’t button mash). Once it’s fully charged, press the light attack button (R1 or RB) to release an epic vertical shockwave.
  • Bonus tip? Stay locked on to the boss so you don’t accidentally waste your attack on thin air.

1. Go Small or All-Out

If you can’t go big with a charged attack (FP problems?), spam smaller shockwaves instead. They won’t hit as hard, but it’s a great way to interrupt Augur when it starts pulling out wild tsunami attacks.

Why This Fight Feels Familiar

For the FromSoftware veterans here, this fight feels like a highlight reel of their best ideas. Storm Ruler evokes instant nostalgia, which is honestly half the fun of this fight. But mechanically, it’s not mind-blowing. If you’re in it for the challenge, don’t get over-prepared. And yeah, the first phase plays out almost exactly like its base version, so the real shine here is the second phase.

Pro Tips for Success

• Don’t Forget Your FP

Charging the Storm Ruler not only powers it up but saves your FP bar from evaporating. Get the rhythm down early.

• Keep Your Cool

This boss won’t break you, but overconfidence might. Stick to your strategy, dodge conservatively, and don’t rush the charged attack unless you’re sure it’ll land.

• Upgrade Before Battle

Can’t emphasize this enough. If you don’t upgrade your weapon to its Legendary status, you’re in for a bad time.

Final Thoughts

When it comes down to it, Augur’s Everdark Sovereign isn’t the most complicated boss in Elden Ring Nightreign, but it’s one of the most satisfying if you approach it with the right strategy. It’s a beautifully nostalgic dance with a weapon that calls back to some of FromSoftware’s greatest hits.

Now go grab that Legendary weapon, charge it up, and show this smug jellyfish who’s boss. Don’t walk away without relishing that moment when the shockwave lands just right.
