    How to Complete the Scholar Remembrance Quest in Elden Ring: Nightreign

    Every character you can play in Elden Ring: Nightreign has their own unique skills, moves, relics, and a dedicated side quest called the Remembrance Quest. This questline is divided into different chapters, which are written down in your Journal. To progress, you need to interact with various NPCs and complete specific personal objectives.

    With the expansion, The Forsaken Hollows, two new characters are introduced, each with their own quests. In this guide, we focus on the Scholar’s Remembrance Quest, explaining each chapter and what actions you need to take in each one.

    How to Complete Scholar’s Side Quest

    You can start the Scholar’s Remembrance Quest as soon as you unlock the character. To do this, you must defeat Gladius, the first Nightlord available. Our guide offers tips for this fight.

    Chapter 1 and Chapter 2

    The initial chapters involve completing expeditions with the Scholar. It doesn’t matter if you succeed or die early; what matters is that you play until you receive Memory Fragments at the Roundtable Hold.

    Note: The Memory Fragment notification appears in the lower right corner once you return to the hub. If you miss it, you can check your Journal and switch between pages to see the latest active chapter.

    Chapter 3

    Start the remembrance from your Journal. Visit the chapel at the Roundtable Hold, where you’ll find The Undertaker.

    On entering, turn right and examine the desk with papers. Reading the “Tear” piece of paper will give you a personal objective. Next, begin the Balancers or Dreglord expeditions alone or with friends.

    You don’t need to win the fights—just go to the marked spot on your map, indicated by an orange flag. The location will change with each expedition, so always check your map.

    Tip: It’s best to clear a camp, level up, and go on your first day. If you have allies, it’s better, but you can also avoid enemies and rush to the objective.

    In my case, I needed to go to a dungeon on the eastern side of the map. Inside, find a room with a ladder and a hole in the floor. Going down reveals a desk with books and an item called Vassal’s Journal.

    Complete the expedition (you can die during the first boss fight if playing solo and want to speed through), then return to the chapel. You’ll find Undertaker licking a purple substance on the wall. Interact with her, try to leave, then interact with the NPC at the door. Afterward, talk to Undertaker again, and she will thank you. Ask her for a favor to finish this chapter.

    Chapter 4

    Simply continue playing with the Scholar until you earn another Memory Fragment.

    Chapter 5

    Open your Journal, select the fifth chapter, and start the Remembrance. Talk to the Small Jar, who will teleport you to the northern keep—a castle in the DLC map. Reach the top floor to find a room with a large icy rock. Climb the rock and the platform above, then find a hole in the wall.

    Tip: You’re level 8, so enemies are manageable, but you can skip creatures and avoid fights until necessary.

    Proceed through the hole, interact with a door, then go back. You’ll face a few enemies—prepare accordingly. Here’s a guide on the Scholar build and relics to help. Once finished, return to the locked door, now openable, and interact with the desk and the character trapped in crystal in the same room. Finish the Remembrance to earn the Cleansing Tear relic.

    Chapter 6 and Chapter 7

    Again, participate in expeditions with the Scholar until Memory Fragments unlock the final chapter.

    Chapter 8

    Access your Journal, start the last Remembrance, and speak with Undertaker in the chapel. Interact with the mirror in the garb room and examine your desk.

    Your final personal objective will be revealed: defeat Traitorous Straighess in the Dreglord expedition.

    Complete the quest by defeating the Traitorous Straighess and collecting your final relic.

    Rewards for Completing the Scholar’s Side Quest

    After finishing the last chapter, you receive the “My Dear Successor” note relic, which boosts your skills used in allies’ actions, along with the Scholar’s Remembrance skin and the Night of the Dregs relic. If you haven’t defeated the Dreglord before, this relic is great for attacks and spells involving rot.

  • How to Play as the Scholar in Elden Ring: Nightreign and Solving Secrets

    How to Play as the Scholar in Elden Ring: Nightreign and Solving Secrets

    If you thought Elden Ring: Nightreign was missing a support character, there’s good news. The Forsaken Hollows added two new characters, including Scholar. He introduces a new playstyle focused not on dealing massive damage, but on supporting allies and applying debuffs to enemies.

    Understanding how to use Analyze and the best times to activate his Ultimate Art can be challenging. Since Scholar is a Nightfarer who scales with Arcane, it might take a moment to get used to. Don’t worry – here are the top tips for building a Scholar in Elden Ring: Nightreign.

    ### Scholar’s Skill Overview
    Scholar’s Passive is called Bagcraft. It allows you to carry more items and level them up. You still have four slots in your pouch, but now you can hold four of the same item (others can only carry two). As you use items, their efficiency improves, and sometimes they gain extra effects.

    For example, a level 2 Starlight Shard restores more FP, while a level 3 one increases your maximum FP. The highest level for all items is level 3. You’ll get notifications when an item levels up, often accompanied by a color mark on the item to show its level.

    You might not use many items with other classes, but with Scholar, a different approach is encouraged. Using relics that give you starting items can help level them faster during gameplay.

    ### Analyze Skill
    Analyze is a key ability. When activated, the screen changes, and circles appear around enemies and allies. Analyzing enemies (their circles fill with red) allows you to apply buffs to yourself (press the right trigger) or debuffs to enemies (left trigger).

    Visual cues determine what buffs or debuffs are applied based on how much of the circle you scan:
    – Less than half filled: grants you stamina boost or reduces enemy attack.
    – Half or more filled: provides a bigger stamina boost and stronger attack reduction on enemies.
    – Fully filled: enemies also get a defense debuff, and you can perform a parry within a two-second window by simply receiving their attack. Keep in mind, you can’t apply Analyze effects to both allies and enemies simultaneously; you must choose which to target. While using Analyze, you’re vulnerable—dodging is recommended if attacked.

    You can also make Analyze applicable to allies if you have specific relics. The effects depend on the level of scanning:
    – Partial circles grant minor buffs/debuffs.
    – Full circles cause stronger effects, including a chance to parry enemy attacks.

    ### Ultimate Art: Communion – Taboo Knowledge
    Scholar’s Ultimate Art is Communion: Taboo Knowledge. It functions as an area-of-effect (AoE) spell that marks all nearby allies and enemies. Allies will heal each time they heal themselves, while enemies take linked damage—hitting one damages all linked enemies by 20%. This can be highly effective against groups or boss fights with multiple enemies.

    While using this UA, Scholar is invulnerable for a few seconds. Use it close to allies and enemies to maximize its benefits.

    ### The Best Weapons for Scholar
    Scholar’s stats show Arcane as his only S attribute. His preferred weapons are thrusting swords, such as the Eleonora Poleblade. Not many weapons scale with Arcane, but boosting your status effects is key; weapons that cause Blood Loss, Frostbite, Scarlet Rot, or Poison become more powerful.

    Remember, your focus isn’t on dealing huge damage but supporting teammates. If you want to optimize your build, consider weapons like:
    – Antspur Rapier (for Blood Loss)
    – Frozen Needle (for Frostbite)
    – Eleonora Poleblade (for Blood Loss)

    Using these weapons in combination with Scholar’s passive effects can enhance your effectiveness in battle.

    ### Relics Suitable for Scholar
    Completing Scholar’s Remembrance Quest is important to receive relics with special buffs. After finishing Chapter 5, you’ll gain Cleansing Tear, a relic that boosts damage negation, increases your Art gauge when defeating enemies, and deals continuous damage to trapped enemies during your Ultimate Art.

    When the quest is completed, you also get Note “My Dear Successor”, a relic that reduces your skill cooldowns and allows you to buff allies after analyzing them. Using this relic on analyzed allies increases their damage output.

    For your third relic slot, options include:
    – Augur’s relic: Heals allies when you use flasks and shares effects with nearby allies.
    – The Grand Drizzly Scene relic: A cheaper alternative if the full relic isn’t acquired yet, especially if you haven’t defeated the related boss.

    Additional relics focus on starting items like Poison or Blood Loss boosts. For example, completing the Sentiest Pest expedition grants the Nightlord’s relic, which provides Poison at the start of the game.

    ### Tips for Playing as Scholar
    During early gameplay, be cautious. Scholar is primarily a support character. Instead of rushing to destroy everything, focus on assisting allies and controlling the battle. While you won’t be able to attack during Analyze, dodging is still possible and vital.

    Re-activating Analyze quickly can preserve some progress on enemy analysis, but this effect depletes fast unless you have relics that slow its drain. Save your Ultimate Art for tough enemies or bosses with powerful, unpredictable moves. Its invulnerability makes it ideal for avoiding damage and status effects.

    Be strategic in timing your abilities for maximum support and survivability.

  • How to Defeat Tricephalos and Complete Scholar & Undertaker in Elden Ring

    How to Defeat Tricephalos and Complete Scholar & Undertaker in Elden Ring

    If you’ve bought both Elden Ring: Nightreign and its first expansion, The Forsaken Hollows, you might be wondering where the new characters Scholar and Undertaker are, along with all the other game content. The answer is simple: you need to complete the Tricephalos expedition first to unlock everything else.

    This expedition features the Gladius Beast of Night, a large wolf with three heads and a chained sword on its back. As the only Nightlord available, this fight is one of the easier battles, but it still requires some effort and several attempts. Learn how to defeat the Gladius Beast of Night in Elden Ring: Nightreign.

    How to Defeat the Gladius Beast of Night (Tricephalos)

    When the fight begins, you’ll see the boss in its true form: a wolf with three heads. However, as you deal damage, it will sometimes split into three separate enemies. Let’s focus on its original form first.

    Tip: Being level 10 is enough to challenge this boss, but a higher level makes it easier. The boss’s main weakness is Holy damage, so try to equip weapons or spells with Holy properties during your fight.

    Gladius can jump forward briefly and attack with all three mouths at once. Rolling backward is an effective way to avoid this attack. Focus your attacks on the boss’s back, especially when it prepares to jump or attack.

    While fighting, watch out for quick turns. Gladius may suddenly spin and attack with its head, especially when it stands on its back feet, grabs the sword, and does a 360° attack. Wait for the pause before the spin and dodge just before the sword hits. Be aware that Gladius can spin twice in a row, attacking both times.

    It can also bite with one or more heads in quick succession, indicating an upcoming multi-head bite. When on Gladius’s back, it can turn rapidly and strike with its head, so stay alert.

    Gladius has long-range attacks with its sword. It can grab the chains on its back and shoot a straight-line attack. Simply rolling aside will help avoid it. However, the boss also throws fire from its mouth—another long-range attack. Don’t get complacent about maintaining distance; this fire reach is very long, and the best tactic is to wait for the boss’s mouths to charge with fire and then dodge to either side when it releases.

    A good strategy is to have one player draw the boss’s attention while the other two attack its back and anticipate turns. It’s ideal to have at least one character with long-range attacks, allowing them to dodge quick turns and chain attacks more easily.

    When Gladius splits into three enemies

    This phase happens temporarily: the three heads split into separate enemies, but they don’t gain new moves. It can be tricky, especially if you’re attacking from a distance, since two of the Gladius copies will focus on just one player, making coordination important.

    The best approach is to assign one player to each enemy so everyone knows what to expect. Alternatively, a less experienced player can stay close to a more skilled teammate and focus on taking down one of the Gladius copies.

    Note: Only one of the three enemies carries the sword. Concentrate on the two with limited movesets, but don’t forget to keep an eye on your back to avoid surprise attacks. During this phase, it’s often better not to lock onto targets to maintain better control of your camera and awareness.

    Additional attack patterns

    While bites are easy to dodge—simply roll to the side—Gladius can also stand on its back feet, grab the sword, and perform a 360° attack. Look for a brief pause before the spin, and dodge just before the sword swings. Remember, Gladius can spin twice in a row, attacking both times.

    The boss’s long-range sword attack involves grabbing the chains and striking in a straight line. Its mouth fire attack also has a significant reach, so stay cautious and dodge accordingly.

    The main tactic during this fight is to designate one player as the main target, drawing most of the attention, while the other two attack Gladius’s back and prepare for quick turns. Long-range players should take advantage of their reach to avoid both quick spins and chain attacks.

    After defeating Gladius Beast of Night

    Defeating the boss unlocks six additional expeditions from the base game, one DLC expedition called The Balancers, the Night of the Beast relic, an Old Pocketwatch (which grants access to more characters), the two playable characters from The Forsaken Hollows (located in the hub), and various relics to collect.
