Recommended Boss Clear Order
| Boss | Difficulty Rating and Recommendations | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Tricephalos | Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ - Only this boss can be challenged at first - Defeating this boss unlocks 6 other bosses - Having a Holy Affinity weapon reduces difficulty |
| 2 | Augur | Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ - Can be easily defeated with 3 Ironeyes ┗ Without them, the battle tends to be prolonged - Easy to handle once you learn its patterns |
| 3 | Fissure in the Fog | Difficulty: ★★★☆☆ - Fire attacks cause weakening, giving an advantage - Many actions are difficult to deal with on the first try ┗ Easy to handle once learned |
| 4 | Sentient Pest | Difficulty: ★★★☆☆ - If you can separate them, the early phase is stable - The second phase requires some evasion precision |
| 5 | Darkdrift Knight | Difficulty: ★★★★☆ - Lightning Affinity attacks stop wide-range attacks ┗ Without Lightning attacks, the difficulty significantly increases - Its movements are too fast, so getting used to them is necessary |
| 6 | Gaping Jaw | Difficulty: ★★★★☆ - Wide-range, high-power attacks are a threat - Easily overwhelmed if one person is focused - Difficulty decreases slightly if you can coordinate |
| 7 | Equilibrious Beast | Difficulty: ★★★★☆ - Madness is effective, but means are scarce - Accidental deaths due to Madness occur frequently - Relatively easy to win depending on evasion precision |
| 8 | Final Boss | Difficulty: ★★★★★ - Unlocked by defeating 4 bosses - The final boss of Nightreign |
For Nightreign bosses, defeating Tricephalos will unlock an additional 6 bosses. It's recommended to choose the order based on the difficulty guide. The final boss is unlocked by defeating 4 bosses.

Boss Strategy Tips
- Select Relics before starting
- Character leveling is important
- Equip powerful weapons
- Collect Dormant Power
- Equip Talismans
- Prioritize reviving allies if they faint
- Visit Church of Grace to increase Sacred Flasks
Select Relics Before Starting
Before commencing to the field, equip Relics at the Roundtable Hold. Relics have effects that are useful for progressing favorably in battle, so be sure to equip them.
Relics GuideCharacter Leveling is Important
Even just one level up can strengthen your character enough to feel the difference. The Runes needed for leveling up are automatically distributed to all allies, so the key is to cooperate and collect Runes together.
How to Level Up GuideEquip Powerful Weapons
You can sometimes obtain high-rarity weapons from treasure chests or as rewards for defeating bosses. If you obtain a powerful weapon, your attack power will increase significantly, so look for weapons that suit your character before challenging the end-of-day boss.
Weapon Passive Effects Are Also Important
Weapons have 'Passive Effects' that activate just by possessing them. Collect weapons with powerful Passive Effects in addition to the main weapon you are using.
Collect Dormant Power
Dormant Power, obtained as a reward for defeating bosses or Elite Enemies, can strengthen your character upon acquisition. There are many powerful effects such as Status Up, specific attack enhancements, and Enchants, so defeat bosses and collect Dormant Power.
Equip Talismans
You can obtain Talismans from Scarabs in the field or from treasure chests at your base. Talismans have effects useful for battle, so equip them once obtained.
Prioritize Reviving Allies if They Faint
You can revive fallen allies by attacking them. As long as you don't get knocked out, you can continue the night boss battle, so prioritize reviving allies if they are defeated.
Visit Church to Increase Sacred Flasks
Sacred Flasks, used to restore HP, can have their number of uses increased at a Church. If you have time during your field exploration, stop by and upgrade your Sacred Flasks.
