The Crater

The Crater Shifting Earth is unlocked by clearing Tricephalos. In the deepest part, you can upgrade weapons of any rarity to Legendary weapons only once per commence.

Mountaintop

The Mountaintop Shifting Earth is unlocked by defeating a total of 3 types of Nightlords. It appears in the northwestern part of the map, and by climbing to the summit, you can obtain the Dormant Power "Favor of the Mountaintop", so it's recommended to challenge it when fighting Frostbite-type bosses or when you have Frostbite-type weapons.

Rotted Woods

Rotted Woods is unlocked by defeating a total of 5 types of Nightlords. It appears in the southeastern part of the map, and by clearing it, you can obtain the Dormant Power "Favor of the Rotted Woods" Many Formidable Great Enemies appear along the way, so it's also a feature that it's easy to collect Runes and weapons.

Noklateo, the Shrouded City

Noklateo, the Shrouded City is unlocked by defeating a total of 7 types of Nightlords. It appears in the southwestern part of the map. You can get the Dormant Power "Favor of Noklateo, the Shrouded City" after defeating the boss, which is powerful for boss battles.

How to Remove Shifting Earth

Pass Time at a Bed to Remove

Nightreign Shifting Earth can be removed by passing time on the bed in the Waiting Room. The Waiting Room is located at the bottom right of Roundtable Hold, and you can also warp there by opening the map.

Disappears After Several Commences

If you commence several times while a Shifting Earth is active, it will disappear naturally. If a Shifting Earth you want to clear appears, try to challenge it soon without postponing it too much.

Cannot Change to Another Shifting Earth

Nightreign does not have a feature to change Shifting Earth. All you can do at the bed is remove a Shifting Earth, so be aware that you cannot change it to a specific Shifting Earth of your choice.

How to Trigger Shifting Earth

Triggered by Defeating Nightlords, Etc.

Nightreign Shifting Earth is triggered by events such as defeating a Nightlord. Shifting Earth will not occur even if you commence and are defeated multiple times, so if you want to trigger a Shifting Earth, challenge a Nightlord you are confident you can defeat.

Shifting Earth Occurs Immediately

When you meet the unlock conditions for a Shifting Earth, the unlocked Shifting Earth will immediately become active. Currently, this is the only time you can trigger a specific Shifting Earth, so try challenging the one that appears.

What is Shifting Earth?

Turns Field into a Dungeon

In Nightreign, a Shifting Earth is a phenomenon where part of the field changes into a complex dungeon-like area. Enemies and bosses specific to that Shifting Earth will appear in the affected location.

Rewards for Clearing Shifting Earth

Clearing the dungeon created by a Shifting Earth allows you to fully upgrade weapons or obtain special Dormant Power. Also, multiple bosses appear within the dungeon, so you can also use it for leveling up or collecting Dormant Power.

Check Shifting Earth Before Commencing

You can check if a Shifting Earth is active on the Target selection screen before commencing. Also, Shifting Earth does not only appear for specific Targets; it appears for all Targets while active.
