Completing Augur's Everdark Sovereign in Elden Ring: Nightreign

Select Language:

Among the Everdark Sovereigns in Elden Ring Nightreign, Augur is probably the easiest to defeat—once you understand her trick. She relies on one main move and needs some preparation before facing her. You should study her patterns rather than rushing in blindly.

With our guidance, you’ll gain insights into her weaknesses. For example, banishing her and ending her reign involves using the Storm Ruler, a weapon infused with the power of the Nightlord, which Maris herself supplied. It seems as if Augur wants you to beat her—so who are we to refuse?

Unlike other bosses, you don’t need to choose special areas or weapons. All you get is a Legendary version of your starting weapon with a unique Ash of War: Storm Ruler. This is your main tool, especially in her second phase, as it’s the only way to deal significant damage.

Note: This Ash of War is essential for breaking her armor and damaging her in her second phase.

Recommended Preparations

Since no specific weapons are needed, focus on boosting your survivability:

Increase Flask regeneration.
Maximize stamina and stamina regeneration.
Raise resistance to ailments to 57 or higher.

Bring along these items:

2 Warming Stones
Boiled Crab
An extra Flask of your preferred type

The Warming Stone is particularly useful because you’ll spend a lot of time stationary, charging your Storm Ruler.

Recommended Characters

Any character class works because her weapon scales with your stats. That said, characters with high mobility and stamina excel here. Think of those who can dodge and reposition quickly.

Augur’s New Moveset

Her new move set is straightforward, making her fights more about endurance than skill. Once you get used to her quick attacks and minimal tricks, defeating her becomes a matter of whittling down her large health pool.

Tips for the Fight

Wave Breaker: Augur spins and gathers blue energy, then releases a wave. Dodge by sprinting sideways or chain-dodging through it; be ready to heal if you’re caught.
Night’s Divide: Augur flies up, channels a blue laser, and fires it in front then upwards. You should sprint left or right and dodge at the last second to escape the blue field.
Star Barrage: She spirals into the air and rains star-shaped orbs, which explode after landing. Stay locked-on for precise movement, then dodge or sprint out of their range.
Charge: She charges forward in a wider spiral. Dodge forward through her and stay close.
Night’s Crown: She spins and surrounds herself with purple orbs firing beams. Focus on destroying these orbs with Storm Ruler or dodge away as the beams fire.

Key Mechanics

Waves are dangerous because they sneak up quickly; sprint around their sides to avoid damage.
Star Barrage can target multiple players. Turn off auto-lock to better see where the orbs are flying and react accordingly.
She cannot be critted due to her size, so prioritize using Storm Ruler’s powered-up attacks.

Strategy for Victory

Once she enters her second phase, aim Storm Ruler at her purple orbs when she reaches about 70% health. Destroying or dispelling these orbs:

Stops her magic beams.
Lowers her threat level.
Causes her to stagger temporarily, leaving her vulnerable.

When her health drops to around 40%, she’ll perform a Wave Break attack multiple times—avoid these waves at all costs. Staying under her is the riskiest move, so keep your distance and stay attentive.
