How to Play with Friends
There are two ways to play with friends in Nightreign: 'Set a Password' or 'Use Team Session'. Both can be set when you commence an expedition from the Site of Grace at the Roundtable Hold.
Roundtable Hold Guide - What You Can Do at the HubSetting the Same Multiplayer Password
In expedition matchmaking, you can play with friends by entering the same "Multiplayer Password". On the target selection screen before deploying, press R1 to access the Password settings menu. Once the Password is set, press R1 again and start from the target screen.
Multiplayer Password Settings
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| Multiplayer Password | Players who have set the same Password can match with each other. |
| Password Application Count | Set the limit of players for matching using the Multiplayer Password. If set to 2 players, the remaining player will be matched with a player who has not set a Password. |
| Group Password | Not required for multiplayer. If set, Phantoms of people with the same Group Password will be prioritized for display. |

When matchmaking for expeditions, you can invite players to form a team. Players can be invited via Search function or by sharing a link, allowing friends to play together in multiplayer.
Target Designation is Done by the Inviting Player
When playing as a team, the player who invited others to the team will designate the target. If there are differences in game progression, be aware that undiscovered game content may be revealed.
If Matching Fails, Canceling Once is Recommended
If matchmaking for expeditions take too long, cancel the matching once and then pressing "Commence Expedition" again may resolve the issue.
