How to unlock the Duchess – Elden Ring Nightreign

by

In Elden Ring: Nightreign, not every class is accessible from the start. To gain control of the Duchess, effort will be required initially. Here’s a simple guide on how you can unlock her skills and playstyle sooner rather than later.

How to unlock the Duchess in Elden Ring Nightreign

To open the Duchess’s chamber, you must obtain an artifact known as the Ancient Timepiece (or Old Pocketwatch). This item is almost certain to be acquired after defeating Gladius, the Nightly Beast, during your initial expedition in the game. Defeat this Nightlord, and the Old Pocketwatch will be yours. This relic provides FP restoration on consecutive attacks and a boost to your agility. However, it offers more than just these benefits.

Currently, striking Gladius ensures a drop will occur, but it can also be obtained randomly from unsuccessful attempts. Therefore, be aware of your rewards and stay alert because you may acquire it more quickly than expected, even if you’re finding the battle challenging. Upon returning to the Roundtable Hold, don’t forget to approach the Priestess, who is the woman in a white cloak near the expedition table.

In this scenario, presenting the antique pocketwatch to her will unveil a shocking twist: she is actually the Duchess! This revelation grants you the opportunity to choose her as your playable character. The Duchess is a delightful choice for those who value agility and the art of dodging.
