Unlocking new looks in Elden Ring Nightreign isn’t just about style-it’s a badge of honor earned through challenging expeditions. After defeating two Nightlords, you gain access to the wardrobe in the Roundtable Hold’s east wing, where you can change your Nightfarer’s skin and purchase new outfits using Murk, the in-game currency. Whether you prefer the Dawn or Darkness variants or want to unlock rare skins tied to in-game feats, this guide will show you how to transform your character’s appearance and stand out in your next multiplayer run.
Update (June 3): We’ve added details about how to unlock additional skins.
How to unlock skins in Elden Ring Nightreign
To unlock skins in Elden Ring Nightreign, you first need to complete two Expeditions and defeat two Nightlords. This achievement unlocks the Viewing Mirror in the east wing of the Roundtable Hold, where you can access the “Change Garb” menu to preview, purchase, and equip skins using the in-game currency Murk. Initially, you unlock the Dawn and Darkness skins for each character by completing these Expeditions. Additional skins, including free Remembrance skins, are unlocked by completing each character’s Remembrance questline, while some exclusive skins become available after defeating the game’s final boss. Skin prices vary, with Dawn skins costing around 14,000 Murk, Darkness skins 35,000 Murk, and other special skins around 7,500 Murk.
You can unlock cosmetics after completing two expeditions in Elden Ring Nightreign.
The first expedition you’ll need to complete is the Tricephalos expedition, as doing so unlocks six more. However, the second expedition is entirely up to you; whichever one you complete will unlock character customization.
How to change skins in Elden Ring Nightreign
To change skins in Elden Ring Nightreign, you first need to complete two expeditions, including the initial Tricephalos expedition and any other of your choice. After this, a wardrobe will unlock in the east wing of the Roundtable Hold. You can access it by interacting with a mirror in that room, which opens the “Change Garb” menu. Here, you can swap your character’s outfits and purchase new skins using the in-game currency called Murk, earned by completing expeditions. Each Nightfarer class starts with a default skin and can unlock additional skins, such as the Dawn and Darkness outfits, by spending Murk. This wardrobe is the only place to change skins, so make sure to customize your look before heading out on your next expedition.
After you complete two expeditions, you’ll be able to access the wardrobe room in the Roundtable Hold. The wardrobe room is in Roundtable Hold’s east wing, but can also be selected from the Roundtable Hold map for fast travel.
Simply interact with the wardrobe in the corner to pull up the Change Garb menu. In this menu, you can swap your character’s outfits and purchase new ones using Elden Ring Nightreign’s in-game currency, Murk.
Every playable character starts with one default skin and has an additional two skins you can unlock in exchange for Murk. (These outfits cost either 14,000 or 35,000 Murk.) After beating the final boss, you’ll be able to get two more skins at 7,500 Murk each. You gain Murk from just playing the game, and once you’ve landed on purchasing a relic set that you like for the classes you play, hey, you might as well spend it on cool outfits.
You’ll also earn one skin for completing the remembrance questline for each character, though note that this one doesn’t cost Murk – it unlocks automatically.
This is the only menu where you can change your skins, so make sure you’re dripped out before your next multiplayer expedition. And for a look at what outfits you can earn, here’s a list of how to unlock all skins in Elden Ring Nightreign.
How can I unlock all skins in Elden Ring Nightreign quickly
To unlock all skins quickly in Elden Ring Nightreign, follow these key steps:
-
Complete Two Expeditions: Finishing your first and second expeditions unlocks the “Change Garb” option and access to the wardrobe in the Roundtable Hold, allowing you to purchase the initial Dawn and Darkness skins for each character using Murk currency.
-
Earn and Spend Murk: Murk is earned by completing expeditions, with more gained the farther you progress. Use Murk to buy Dawn skins (14,000 Murk) and Darkness skins (35,000 Murk), plus additional skins unlocked later.
-
Defeat the Final Boss and Nightlords: After defeating all four Nightlords and the final boss, you unlock the ability to buy special skins inspired by Dark Souls and other rare skins, typically costing around 7,500 Murk each.
-
Complete Each Character’s Remembrance Quest: Each character has a Remembrance quest that, when completed, unlocks an exclusive Remembrance skin variant for that character.
-
Use the Wardrobe in Roundtable Hold: Once unlocked, you can change skins anytime by interacting with the dresser in the east wing of Roundtable Hold.
For fastest progression, focus on completing expeditions efficiently to maximize Murk earnings, prioritize defeating Nightlords and the final boss to unlock all skins, and complete character quests for Remembrance skins.
What’s the fastest way to complete two expeditions in Nightreign
The fastest way to complete two expeditions in Elden Ring Nightreign involves efficient route planning, prioritizing key locations, and smart combat strategies:
-
Start Near a Site of Grace: Choose a landing spot close to a Site of Grace to maximize exploration time before the damaging rain circle shrinks the playable area.
-
Prioritize Churches and Great Churches: These locations are crucial because they provide extra flask charges and often contain easier bosses that drop valuable items like stone sword keys, which help progression.
-
Move Methodically Along the Map Edges: Travel in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction hitting points of interest and churches to avoid backtracking and wasting time.
-
Focus on Bosses Over Minor Enemies: Quickly defeat bosses in each area, only dealing with smaller foes if they block your path, to save time and reduce risk.
-
Exploit Vaulting Mechanics: Use vaulting to quickly dispatch flame chariots and other threats, speeding up encounters.
-
Use the Map to Track Locations: The map updates with known locations of strong enemies and loot, helping you plan the most efficient path to gear up before bosses.
-
Manage Time and Health: Avoid getting caught in the damaging rain by retreating early to Sites of Grace and managing your flasks carefully to stay healthy for boss fights.
-
Build a Strong Team Composition: Using synergistic classes like INI and Raider can drastically reduce boss fight times, sometimes down to under a minute per boss.
-
On Day 2, Focus on Upgrades and Stronger Enemies: Hunt field bosses and Evergaol bosses along your route for gear upgrades that make the final Nightlord fight easier.
By following these strategies, you can efficiently complete two expeditions, defeating the day-end Night Bosses and preparing for the final Nightlord encounter swiftly.
