How to unlock A Champion's Path trophy in Elden Ring Nightreign?

If you're trying to unlock one of the hardest achievements in Elden Ring Nightreign, then A Champion’s Path will be your biggest challenge. This isn’t just about beating a powerful boss. You need to master every playable character in the game. That means time, effort and most likely, a few friends to back you up.

Defeat one Nightlord eight times

The Night devours the reckless. Only the honed edge of mastery shall strike it down.

 To unlock A Champion’s Path, you must defeat the same Nightlord eight times. Each time, you must use a different Nightfarer. These are the playable characters in the game, including names like Duchess and Revenant. If you have not unlocked all the Nightfarers yet, that will be your first step before you can begin.

It does not matter which Nightlord you pick. You can choose any one of them, but you must face the same one for all eight runs. You will also need to play each run yourself. If your friends use a different character, that will not count towards your progress. Only your own character choices matter.

Team up with skilled players

This challenge is not easy to do alone. You should try to play with two other friends who know how the Nightlords fight. They can help deal damage and support you while you focus on playing with each new character. The more your team understands the boss fights, the smoother your runs will be.

 Before starting the full challenge, take some time to practise with all the Nightfarers. Each one has different weapons, skills and fighting styles. You do not want to go into battle using a character you do not understand. Practise makes a big difference when you are trying to complete eight clean runs.

Get the achievement after all eight wins

Once you defeat your chosen Nightlord with every character, the trophy will unlock. You must also complete the related expedition each time for the win to count. This means going through the full battle and finishing the objective at the end of each run.
