FromSoftware has officially announced the second Everdark Sovereign boss in Elden Ring: Nightreign — Fulghor, Champion of Nightglow, an ultra-powered variant of the infamous Darkdrift Knight. Set to descend upon the Lands Between on June 26, 2025, this centaur-like nightmare is not a foe to take lightly. Following the success of Gaping Jaw, the first Everdark Sovereign, the Fulghor reveal continues Nightreign’s tradition of soul-crushing difficulty and mythic boss encounters. The announcement was made via the official Elden Ring Twitter account, which teased, “Only thunderous radiance shall still the sacred echoes of the Night.”
🌑 Who is Fulghor, Champion of Nightglow?
Fulghor is a terrifying centaur warrior cloaked in dark energy and divine lightning. First encountered in his standard form as a Darkdrift Knight, Fulghor now returns in Everdark Sovereign form — stronger, faster, and imbued with the haunting essence of the Nightreign’s corrupted light.
Players will find him in Limveld, the procedurally generated map introduced in Nightreign — a twisted reflection of the base game’s Limgrave. With brutal charge attacks, phase-shifting patterns, and storm-based AoE damage, Fulghor is expected to be a major DPS check for co-op parties and solo Nightfarers alike.
🕓 Release Date and Time
Fulghor will be available as a boss encounter starting:
-
June 26, 2025
-
4 PM CEST / 7 AM PDT / 11 PM JST
Make sure your squad is ready — Nightfarers are being urged to prepare divine resistances and high mobility builds to stand a chance.
🧭 Nightreign’s Impact So Far
Elden Ring: Nightreign launched in May 2025 as a co-op-focused spin-off to the original game. While the 2024 expansion Shadow of the Erdtree continued the solo narrative, Nightreign brought multiplayer innovation with procedural dungeons, dynamic world events, and Everdark Sovereign bosses.
The first of these, Gaping Jaw, caused a major spike in player activity. With Fulghor’s arrival, FromSoftware is doubling down on high-stakes cooperative play and unpredictable boss mechanics.
As excitement builds across the community, one thing is certain: Fulghor, Champion of Nightglow, is shaping up to be one of the most unforgettable encounters in Elden Ring’s evolving universe. Whether you plan to face him solo or alongside fellow Nightfarers, prepare for war — because Limveld just got a whole lot darker.
