How long is Elden Ring Nightreign? Since it's a multiplayer boss-rush roguelike, there are lots of variables that will massively affect the game's overall length. The randomized aspects and your own skill are the major factors, so skilled players may be able to cruise through to Day 3 while unlucky or inexperienced players might be sent back to the Roundtable Hold over and over.
As a general rule, however, you will probably spend much less time in Elden Ring Nightreign than you did in Elden Ring if you've played that too. Multiple members of the GR+ team have played the game through to the credits, and we reckon you can complete it in fewer than 30 hours, but that's a broad estimate! Below, we've gone into more detail on how long it takes to beat Nightreign, as well as the average length of a single run!
Elden Ring Nightreign time to beat and length in hours
If you're looking to complete Elden Ring Nightreign, it should take you this long, depending on your playstyle:
- Critical path: 10-20 Hours
- Standard playthrough: 15-35 Hours
- 100% completion: 45-60 hours
Obviously these are pretty stretchy estimates, but that's what comes of Nightreign being a roguelike – some players might get extremely lucky and defeat a Nightlord on their first attempt, others may need dozens of tries to crack.
Furthermore, to unlock the game's eighth and final Expedition, Elden Ring Nightreign Night Aspect, you only need to beat any four of the seven other Expeditions and their Elden Ring Nightreign bosses - that means you can roll credits after beating 5/8 bosses.
With that being said, that doesn't mean you can't go back and fight the others you skipped! So between all the different runs and Remembrance quests tied to the different Elden Ring Nightreign classes, there's quite a lot to do beyond the critical path.
How long is a run in Nightreign?
Once you start to hunt a Nightlord like the Elden Ring Nightreign Tricephalos, it will take you between 40 minutes to one hour, assuming you're successful and aren't defeated early and have to restart.
You can go to the final boss of each day once the symbol of the Erdtree appears on the map, at the second shrinking of the circle, but you should arguably put it off as long as possible to spend longer farming Runes, levels and all the Elden Ring Nightreign best weapons.
