Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest has been causing trouble in Elden Ring Nightreign, but this latest patch should reign it in

FromSoftware has rolled out a new update for Elden Ring Nightreign. The patch’s arrival follows an hour of maintenance that took servers offline across all platforms. Today’s update is another small one, focusing entirely on bug fixes.

Patch 1.01.5 is available now, and arrives exactly two weeks on from the most recent release, version 1.01.4. As you can probably tell from the version numbers, it’s been one incremental update after the other for the studio’s co-op action RPG lately.

The list of notes for patch 1.01.5 is incredibly small, consisting only of two changes, both of which bring fixes to bugs that occur around fighting Everdark Sovereign bosses. Everdark Sovereigns are more challenging versions of some of the game’s existing Nightlord bosses, available only to players who managed to beat each boss’ original form.

As revealed on the official blog, this update fixes a bug that caused Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest to get stuck midway through its fight, making it impossible to beat it and complete the encounter. You can imagine how frustrating that would be.

It seems Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest has been the source of a more problems still, because the patch also addresses an issue that would sometimes see it appear outside its intended arena, which would be more than a little awkward for everyone involved.

That’s pretty much it for patch 1.01.5, but it’s not the end of the Everdark Sovereigns story. So far, we’ve also seen Everdark Sovereign Gaping Jaw, and Everdark Sovereign Darkdrift Knight, alongside the aforementioned Sentient Pest.

Everdark Sovereign bosses rotate, and they’ll be available in pairs each week. Right now that’s Gaping Jaw, and Darkdrift Knight, who will be replaced with Sentient Pest, and Darkdrift Knight July 17-24, before Gaping Jaw and Sentient Pest take the stage July 24-31.

FromSoftware confirmed that it’s currently working on Everdark Sovereign versions of Tricephalos, Augur, Equilibrious Beast, and Fissure in the Fog, all of which will be joining the game’s line-up later.
