    All Relics in Foraken Hollows & How to Get Them in Elden Ring

    The first expansion of Elden Ring: Nightreign, The Forsaken Hollows, added new bosses, characters, a fresh map with multiple routes, and other features. One important addition is relics—items you equip before adventures to gain special buffs and passive effects.

    To unlock these relics, players need to complete specific side quests for certain characters and defeat the new Nightlords. Here’s a guide to each relic, what it does, and how to add it to your inventory in Elden Ring: Nightreign.

    Every New Boss Relic

    The bosses in Forsaken Hollows each have unique relics that can be used with any playable character.

  • How to Complete Knight Artorias in Elden Ring: The Forsaken Hollows

    How to Complete Knight Artorias in Elden Ring: The Forsaken Hollows

    Knight Artorias is one of the most popular and unforgettable bosses in the Souls series. In the Elden Ring: Nightreign expansion, he appears as part of The Forsaken Hollows DLC. If you’ve ever wanted to challenge this legendary boss with friends, now’s your chance. But stay alert—Artorias was always a fierce opponent, and he’s just as tough here.

    He uses many of his signature moves, along with some new variations, to put your team to the test. Expect unpredictable attacks with his large sword, quick jump strikes, and relentless pressure. Here’s what you need to know to defeat Knight Artorias in The Forsaken Hollows.

    ### Where To Find Knight Artorias

    Artorias is a level 2 boss, only available during the Dreglord expedition. To unlock him, you first need to complete the Balancers’ expedition with any character. Once done, you can access the area where Artorias awaits.

    He’s a challenging fight, especially at this stage of the game. Be prepared for tougher bosses toward the end of the second day in Forsaken Hollows, like The Lord of Blood. However, approach Artorias with caution—fighting him face-to-face can be tricky. It’s best to be at least level 10 and have options for attacking from medium to long range.

    ### How To Defeat Knight Artorias

    #### First Phase

    On the initial phase, Artorias begins with a thrust attack delivered in a straight line. Do not dodge backwards, as he will close the distance quickly. He also performs slow, long-range one-hit attacks straight ahead, which are easy to dodge by rolling to either side.

    It gets harder if he moves forward before attacking, as he can reach you quickly. Watch for him holding his sword for a few seconds and then preparing to charge. If he’s chasing you, focus on dodging while your teammates attack him from behind or use projectiles.

    A key moment is when he tilts his head back briefly: he will then unleash a 360° attack covering all directions. Keep your distance during this time to avoid getting hit, and take the chance to hit him with long-range attacks or projectiles. Be aware that after this move, he may jump away, so use that window to heal if needed.

    His jump attack makes a return; he can leap and strike the ground with his sword up to three times in a row. There’s a pause between jumps, giving you time to recover or prepare for the next move. This attack targets a single player, making melee fighters at a disadvantage. Use ranged options to stay safe.

    #### Second Phase

    When his health drops to about 40%, Artorias begins charging energy, leading to a small explosion if you’re nearby. Avoid staying close during this charge. He will also shoot a barrage of black projectiles that can track multiple players, so dodging sideways is best.

    He becomes faster and more aggressive, covering more ground. His attacks repeat but happen more quickly and often. Expect him to execute his thrusts, charges, and jump attacks with increased speed—fighting him requires quick reflexes and smart positioning.

    In this phase, he gains two new moves. Besides his usual three-jump attack, Artorias can now charge energy, visible as flowing energy from his body, before executing a powerful ground slam aimed at one player. When he lands, roll away immediately—this move also has a chance to grab and throw a character, causing additional damage and chaos.

    His other new attack is a series of five rapid blows with erratic timing. You’ll see purple or pink trails on his swords indicating this combo. Dodge the first swipe, wait a couple of seconds, then dodge two more in quick succession, followed by a longer pause before the final, reach-extending strike. During this series, he can interrupt if he kills a teammate, so don’t be close during his combo. Only attack from a safe distance if possible, and avoid being near him during the flurry of strikes.

  • How to Defeat Balancers in Elden Ring: Solving the Forsaken Hollows

    How to Defeat Balancers in Elden Ring: Solving the Forsaken Hollows

    Get ready, Tarnished, because the new DLC for Elden Ring: Nightreign is here. It adds new bosses, playable characters, enemies, and events. The Forsaken Hollows is a tough expansion to an already challenging game.

    Your first major challenge will be to defeat the Balancers, also known as Weapon-Bequeathed Harmonia. This fight features a Nightlord, a terrifying angelic creature that can quickly overpower unprepared teams. Here’s a guide on how to take down the Balancers, their weaknesses, and what rewards you’ll earn for defeating them.

    What Is The Balancers’ Weakness

    Before starting the boss fight, preparation is key. The most important thing is to find a weapon with the Sleep affinity. The Balancers are susceptible to sleep, which allows you to focus on one at a time, especially during the first phase and the main body in later phases.

    You can get a sleep weapon by locating a camp marked with the Sleep icon (gray or light blue), or you can buy one from the shop. To upgrade this weapon, hit one of the mines that spawn to gather the necessary materials, as Sleep weapons are usually high rarity. While you don’t need a sleep weapon to win, having one makes the fight significantly easier.

    How To Defeat The Balancers

    The boss fight has two phases, with the first focusing on several smaller enemies, and the second on the main, more powerful entity. The Weapon-Bequeathed Harmonia uses a variety of attacks, mainly overwhelming you with numbers and spear-based moves. Here’s what to expect in each phase.

    Phase One

    • Seven Balancers spawn on the far side of the arena. Your goal is to kill all of them to advance.
    • To manage this, split up and lure 2–3 Balancers away from each other. This prevents them from attacking en masse.
    • Use your sleep weapon to put them to sleep one by one. Once asleep, focus on knocking them out. Sleep effects don’t last forever, so act quickly.
    • The most punishable attack is the Forward Summoning Spear, which can be avoided easily by attacking from the side or behind.
    • Be cautious of their spear attacks and spear thrusts. These attacks can be varied, so staying alert helps.

    Once all seven are defeated, the boss’s health will be reduced by half, and Phase Two begins.

    Phase Two

    • The main Balancer will now have larger wings and glow pink. She retains all previous attacks and introduces new ones.
    • New attacks include:
      • Ariel Assault: The main Balancer and others fly into the air, line up, and then shoot spear attacks in straight lines, exploding after a brief rupture.
      • Spear Rush: A multi-hit combo with quick spear strikes followed by a ground slam.
      • Grab: The main Balancer lunges with a glowing purple hand, attempting to grab you from a distance.
      • Buff Attack: She channels energy, creating a pink ring around her that boosts attack power and releases spear blasts in all directions.
      • Spear Slam: She raises her spear and slams it into the ground three times, ending with a larger slam that causes damage in a wide area.
      • 6-Way Attack: The main Balancer spins, launching spears in six directions.

    Tips for the Fight

    • The key is often to separate the enemies, even in the second phase. Once the fight shifts, the main strategy is to isolate her from the smaller Balancers.
    • In the first phase, focus on putting enemies to sleep and defeating them individually.
    • When the main Balancer targets you, try to maintain distance. Watch for the Spear Rush and Buff Attack moves and respond with quick dodges or retreats.
    • During her Buff Attack, avoid rushing her directly, as the surrounding spears punish aggressive attempts.
    • When she’s about to revive all the Balancers at around 1/3 health, be ready for an intensified attack pattern, including more frequent spear slams and the 6-Way Attack.
    • Remember, if you kill the main Balancer, other Balancers are stunned briefly, but she can be reborn if she inhabits one of the survivors.

    After the Fight

    Defeating Weapon-Bequeathed Harmonia grants you the Will of the Balancers relic. This relic boosts your melee attack power, skill attack, and provides continuous FP recovery. It’s a powerful item that enhances your combat abilities. You can also unlock new skins for your characters, like the Undertaker or Scholar, for stylistic flair.
