Elden Ring Nightreign’s Duos Trailer Teases Hardcore Gamers

Wow, so, like, it’s finally happening. Yep, the duos thingy is coming to Elden Ring Nightreign. Crazy, right? Is it the end of the month yet? No idea why I’m actually pumped about this, but here we are. Anyway — oh wait, have you seen the trailer? There’s this teasing bit in there that hits a sweet note with us, you know, hardcore Nightreign nerds. If you blink, you might miss it. It’s just a tiny snippet, but man, FromSoftware sure knows how to jab at us.

So around 34 seconds in, there’s this Revenant chilling by an imp statue seal, like, beckoning another player. And in comes the Executor, walking into the scene. But here’s where it gets funny. The Executor tries using something but totally flops — like, nada. They just awkwardly stand there looking silly. All this while the trailer’s trying to move on to, well, whatever other stuff it’s about.

Oh, and the whole “evergaol meta” thing — that’s a trip. Ever heard of it? Folks are stacking damage like crazy. Evergaols, right? You beat one, bam, more damage. If you’re playing your cards right, or well, routing or whatever they call it — it’s damage city. Funny thing, though, some people start with a Stoneword key. Community hacks, I guess? Everyone’s kinda on this bandwagon now. I mean, lately, every match I’ve dived into, someone’s rocking the Evergaol build.

Yet here’s the kicker. The game’s vibe is kinda — how do you put it? — like, streamlined, I guess. Some players are just over it. There was this Reddit post, totally relatable — it’s all, “I try this, but my evergaol is better. I try that, but again, evergaol wins.” It’s like a never-ending loop.

But wait, maybe you’re thinking Nightreign’s lost its charm? Not quite. Just because Evergaols are a big deal doesn’t mean everyone’s suddenly a master at it. Picture this: You get folks charging straight for the Evergaol, barely touching the starting point, thinking they’re invincible. Hilariously tragic, right? I was with a team once — we rushed right in and, within moments, got steamrolled. Like, even a toddler could outlive us at level one. My teammates? Poof, vanished.

Honestly, the most ridiculous part in the duos trailer is classic. Everyone’s, like, all set on the map, pinging the Evergaol. We charge in, bravado and all, and — drumroll — no one’s got a key. It’s like, sigh, are we serious right now? It’s a comedy of errors, truly. Guilty here too, though. Had a different loadout from the last game, whoops. Happens to the best of us. RIP, right?

At least, thank goodness, I’ve not resorted to bickering over strategies by spamming Evergaols till everyone follows just to shut me up. The trailer’s little skit with the Executor? Pure gold. FromSoftware’s subtle humor totally gets the community. Everywhere in that trailer are these low-key nods, winks, whatever you call them.

And the fans get it! Comments on YouTube are raving about how in-sync Fromsoft is with us. Like that bit with Ironeye trying to hit a crazy high seal? That’s a deep cut you’d get only if you’ve been down in the Elden Ring trenches.
