This in-progress Elden Ring Nightreign guide includes a Raider Remembrance quest walkthrough, including how to start the chain, what to expect from each arena opponent, and how to unlock more of the Raider’s chapters.
How to start Raider’s Remembrance quest in Elden Ring Nightreign
To start the Raider’s Remembrance quest in Elden Ring Nightreign, you need to first unlock Chapter 2 of Raider’s journal by defeating the boss Tricephalos during an expedition. After this, speak to the Iron Menial near the large tombstone in Roundtable Hold’s cemetery and interact with the monument to be transported to the arena where the quest’s combat challenges begin. This questline is heavily combat-focused, involving a series of boss fights that reveal Raider’s brutal past through memory fragments and journal entries. Progression requires defeating various Nightlords and bosses, with each victory unlocking new chapters and rewards such as powerful relics to aid in future battles.
The Raider’s first chapter unlocks automatically after you begin the game, but his first quest is gated behind defeating Tricephalos, the three-headed dog and Nightreign’s first main boss. Once you do that, you’ll get to play as the Duchess and unlock the Raider’s second journal chapter.
Raider Chapter 2: Onestrike Gladiator
In “Raider Chapter 2: Onestrike Gladiator” of the Raider Remembrance quest in Elden Ring Nightreign, players begin by speaking with the Iron Menial beside a large gravestone in the Roundtable Hold cemetery and interacting with the stone to be transported to an arena. There, the Raider must face and defeat the Onestrike Gladiator, a formidable opponent whose attacks can be interrupted by both light and heavy strikes from the Raider. Utilizing the Raider’s character skill is crucial, as it pushes the Gladiator back and reduces incoming damage during the Raider’s attacks. Upon victory, players return to Roundtable Hold to conclude this chapter of the quest, with no further battles required at this stage. The next chapter will unlock later after gathering more memory fragments through expeditions or defeating main bosses.
Speak to the Iron Menial next to the large tombstone in Roundtable Hold’s cemetery, and then touch the stone as directed. It transports you to a gladiator-style arena, where you’ll face a named opponent in one-on-one combat, the Onestrike Gladiator.
Despite his size and status as a named enemy, the Onestrike Gladiator struggles to maintain his poise after Raider attacks. Light and heavy attacks will interrupt the Gladiator’s own moves, and you can knock him back by using the Raider’s character skill. Don’t hesitate to use that when the Gladiator gets close. Activating the skill reduces incoming damage until the Raider finishes attacking.
Nightreign transports you back to Roundtable Hold after you defeat Onestrike Gladiator. Speak to the Menial again, touch the stone as directed, and finish the quest. No more battles just yet.
The Raider’s second quest unlocks in Chapter 4, but that won’t appear until you collect more memory fragments. Nightreign is reticent about handing those out freely. You may get some the next time you complete an expedition, or you might have to challenge and defeat one or more of Nightreign’s main bosses before it sees fit to give you more fragments.
We’re still trying to convince Nightreign to hand over memory fragments, but we’ll update with the Raider’s next two chapters soon.
