Wylder Best Relics Guide for Nightreign

As Wylder has a higher HP pool and Stamina, some unique Relics you should be looking for are Night of the Beast, Old Pocketwatch, Slate Whetstone, and The Wylder's Earring. Click here to see a full build guide for Wylder.

The Night of the Beast Relic is a green relic that can be obtained upon defeating the Tricephalos Night Lord for the first time. This allows Wylder to recover his stamina upon each successful attack, which allows for a sustained string of attacks. Enchanting the weapon with fire also gives the Wylder an advantage against enemies weak to fire.

The Old Pocketwatch Relic is a green relic that is guaranteed to drop upon defeating Tricephalos for the first time (or found randomly from any failed run). If not successful, you may still be able to obtain this Relic as a random drop. This Relic helps Wylder restore FP with successive attacks, which is great for use with faster weapons like Straight Swords or Curved Swords, and allows the Wylder continued use of weapon skills in the middle of combat. The Old Pocketwatch also grants +3 in Dexterity, which can be beneficial for most weapons that can be found with a Dex scaling.

The Slate Whetstone Relic is a red relic that can only be obtained upon completing the Wylder's first Remembrance Quest. Check the walkthrough below for the in-depth guide. This relic grants Wylder follow-up attacks with a Greatsword after using his Claw Shot skill, enchanting the Wylder's greatsword with fire damage for 20 seconds, letting you exploit fire weaknesses without needing to worry about getting fire-infused weaponry. The follow-up attack also costs no stamina or FP, but be wary of getting caught on enemy attacks in the process. Additionally, you can gain an increase on Physical Attack damage from this relic's second effect.

The Silver Tear Relic is a red relic that can be obtained upon completing Wylder's third Rememberance Quest. This gives a surge to your Ultimate Art Gauge whenever you cheat death with his passive ability, and provides a passive increase to the speed that your Ultimate Art Gauge fills. It is a great relic for those looking to make the most of his Ultimate Art. The Arcane increase, however, is difficult for the Wylder to capitalize on, and the surge to your Art Gauge provided by this relic is quite situational given how infrequently you get to replenish the use of Sixth Sense.

The Wylder's Earring is a red relic that can be obtained after viewing the Wylder's unique ending, accessed by defeating Heolstor the Nightlord with the Silver Tear equipped. The first relic effect allows him to spread fire upon activating his Ultimate Art, creating a lingering flaming area for supplementary damage after using the Ultimate Art. The second relic effect provides you with an additional skill use, this makes Wylder more mobile and allows him to get in and out of battle with ease. Lastly, the third skill recovers Stamina upon each successful attack, allowing for longer sustained strings of attacks before you have to stop to recover, and this also lends into relieving the stamina costs of powerstanced greatsword play styles.

The Dark Night of the Champion is a yellow relic that can be bought from the Collector Signboard after defeating the Everdark Sovereign Darkdrift Knight. The first effect gives +10 to Stamina (equivalent to 5 Endurance) to allow for longer strings of attacks. The second effect gives +10% elemental damage when using an elemental-infused weapon or a weapon buff that grants elemental damage, which is a handy but largely insignificant damage bonus.

The third effect is the most valuable on this relic, granting 5% Ultimate Art Gauge for every enemy you kill, meaning that you can easily get a lot of Art Gauge back from an uncharged Onslaught Stake wiping out a group of enemies, and ensuring you can deploy the Ultimate Art at nearly every point of interest you get, earning more Runes for the team.

Next, are the relic effects that you want to look out for. Character Skill Cooldown Reduction allows you to use Claw Shot more often, giving plenty of mobility to get out of danger or close the gap on enemies. Improved Greatsword Attack Power is beneficial for play styles that are focused on greatswords and the Claw Shot follow-up. Fire Attack Power Up improves the damage done by your Ultimate Art and Claw Shot follow-up attacks as well.

Improved Stance-Breaking also gives you greater odds of knocking down enemies in combat, and can combine fantastically with the massive Stance Damage done by the Ultimate Art; whether you take Two-Handing or Wielding Two Armaments depends on your play style. Other Relic effects that increase Vigor, Poise, Strength, or Dexterity, increasing or recovering Stamina and HP also help to increase and ensure your survivability and overall damage output.

Elden Ring Nightreign Wylder Notes & Tips

• Dormant Powers from forts and great churches have a 65% chance to contain an uncommon class weapon. Dormant powers from encampments and ruins have a 35% chance to contain an uncommon class weapon. Wylder's class weapons consist of greatswords.

Nightreign Wylder Remembrance Quest Walkthrough

How to unlock and start Remembrance Quests in Nightreign

In Nightreign, players can randomly find journal entries related to the corresponding Nightfarer that they are using in an Expedition, which are key components to starting Remembrance Quests. These quests provide a backstory to the eight Nightfarers in the game, with players starting a Remembrance through the Roundtable Hold. When completed, these Remembrances will give rewards to players, such as Relics and Garbs (Skins).

When players are stuck in a part of a Remembrance Quest, or if a journal entry is missing, they may start an Expedition with the Nightfarer that they want to progress the quest. Then, defeat the Nightlord and the players will be able to do the next step of the quest. For more information about Remembrance Quests, players may visit this page.

 

Wylder Remembrance: Part 1

Part 1, Wylder Remembrance Objectives:

• Talk to Iron Menial.
• Start Expedition and collect the Slate Whetstone
• Talk to Iron Menial
• Collect the earrings and hold them up to the light
• Find Duchess and give her the earrings.

NOTE: Requires the player to start an expedition as Wylder to unlock the journal entries that involve reliving a remembrance for Wylder. In some cases, defeating a Night Boss on the first day or even completing the expedition by defeating the Night Lord can also unlock the remembrance quest in the Journal.

As the Wylder, head to the "Journal" area at the Roundtable Hold and select Chapter 3 of the Wylder's Journal to start reliving his Remembrace. Head to the armory room to find the Iron Menial and speak to him. When he asks Wylder to help procure a whetstone, choose the dialogue option "Understood" to help him. After which, proceed to the Expeditions table and start an expedition in Limveld. Once in Limveld, open the map to find the orange marker pinned, which indicates the area you'll need to explore. This will lead you to a cave entrance that leads into a crystal tunnel where you'll eventually encounter a mini-boss, the Tunnel Crystalian. Defeat it and collect the Slate Whetstone (Key Item) from the cluster of stones.

Fully complete the expedition or die and fail to return to the Roundtable Hold. With the item you've acquired, return to the armory room where the Iron Menial is and give him the Slate Whetstone. He'll then place three items, (1) on the table in front of him, (2) on the small table that's on the right side of the Iron Menial, and (3) on a small ladder that's on the left-hand side of the Iron Menial. Pick up the item on the table in front of the Iron Menial to acquire x1 Delicate Burning Scene, check the small table on the right side of the Iron Menial to take the Mended Earring, and pick the item on the small ladder to obtain another Delicate Burning Scene relic.

Upon collecting all three items, especially the Mended Earring, open the Roundtable Hold map to find a new exclamation mark, go to the room on the left just next to the armory, and walk to the end of the room towards the ray of light. Interact with it to "Hold up both earrings." and then find the Duchess to give the Mended Earring; doing this concludes the first part of the Wylder's Remembrance Quest. Interact with the nearby remembrance gateway or travel to the Journal to conclude the second part of the Wylder's Remembrance. Completing this section of the Wylder's Remembrance quest updates the Wylder's Journal and rewards the player with the Slate Whetstone relic

 

Wylder Remembrance: Part 2

Part 2, Wylder Remembrance Objectives:

• Read the three short passages.
• Talk to Iron Menial.
• Examine the tombs.

As the Wylder, head to the "Journal" area at the Roundtable Hold and select Chapter 5 of the Wylder's Journal to continue reliving his Remembrace. For the second part of Wylder's Remembrance Quest, the first objective is to interact with three objects in the Roundtable Hold.

1. The first object you need to examine is the pile of books in the room where you can find the Small Jar Bazaar. Examining it will reveal a short passage.
2. In the same room, by the pile of books, look to the right and you'll see a small bookshelf tucked in the corner. Examine it to read a short passage on the priestess.
3. The third object is yet another pile of books, which is close to the Small Jar Bazaar. Examine it to read the passage on the underground crypt.

Once you've read all three passages, in the same room, you'll see a doorway on the right side, go through it, head down the steps, turn left, go through another door that just unlocked, and down the steps to find the crypt. Inside the crypt, you'll find the Iron Menial, speak to him, and then interact with the tombs that are marked with a glowing dot. Upon examining the three tombs, find the Duchess who is by the shore, speak to her, and choose the dialogue option "Are you trapped here?"; this concludes the second part of Wylder's Remembrance Quest. Interact with the nearby remembrance gateway or travel to the Journal to conclude the second part of the Wylder's Remembrance. Completing this section of the Wylder's Remembrance quest updates the Wylder's Journal and rewards the player with the Wylder's Chalice.

 

Wylder Remembrance: Part 3

Part 3, Wylder Remembrance Objectives:

• Start an expedition run as Wylder to unlock Chapter 7 of Wylder's Journal.
• Continue reliving Wylder's Remembrance Quest.
• Read the note on the table in the armory room and take the Virtuous Thief's Key.
• Open the chest in the Underground Crypt to acquire the Torn-Out Paper Scrap.
• Speak to the Iron Menial.
• Speak to Recluse >>> Speak to Iron Menial
• Start an expedition that involves the Noklateo, the Shrouded City, Shifting Earth.
• Find a Silver Tear.
• Head to Noklateo.
• Defeat the Mimic Troll.

As the Wylder, head to the "Journal" area at the Roundtable Hold and select Chapter 7 of the Wylder's Journal to continue reliving his Remembrace. Again, take note that succeeding chapters that involve a remembrance quest can be unlocked if you do an expedition as the specific nightfarer. For this case, you need to participate in an expedition as Wylder. Upon starting, you'll find yourself in the armory room. Approach the table and read the note to obtain the Virtuous Thief's Key. Proceed to the path that goes down into the underground crypt, just by the end of the doorway at the end of the stairs, look to the left side to find a small chest tucked by the corner. With the key in hand, open the chest to obtain a Torn-Out Paper Scrap.

Head to the expeditions room of the Roundtable Hold to find and speak to the Iron Menial, then head to the library/study room to find Recluse, and speak to her about taking the Nightlord's power. Go back once again to the Iron Menial to learn about the whereabouts of the silver tear. Now you need to start an expedition in Limveld where a shifting earth event is active, specifically the shifting earth, Noklateo, the Shrouded City. While in the shrouded city, head to the marked objective that is pinned on the map, where you'll encounter a mini-boss, the Mimic Troll.

Defeat the Mimic Troll and investigate the glowing coffin to collect the Silver Tear. Now, back at the Roundtable Hold, look for the Iron Menial in the armory room and simply speak to him to conclude the last part of Wylder's Remembrance Quest. Interact with the nearby remembrance gateway or travel to the Journal to conclude the final part of the Wylder's Remembrance. Completing this section of the Wylder's Remembrance quest updates the Wylder's Journal and rewards the player with the following: a new outfit for Wylder, the Remembrance (Wylder) outfit, and the Silver Tear relic.

The final unmentioned objective is to defeat Heolstor the Nightlord as Wylder while you have the Silver Tear relic equipped. If Heolstor is unavailable, you must defeat four different Nightlords (as any character) to unlock him. After Heolstor's defeat, you are placed on the shores outside the Roundtable facing the Heolstor's corpse. Walk up to the defeated Nightlord and choose the option to have Wylder use the Silver Tear to turn himself into the next Nightlord. After the credits, you will earn The Wylder's Earring in addition to the usual run rewards, and the Wylder's Journal will update one final time.
