Of all the Nightfarers revealed for FromSoftware’s Elden Ring Nightreign, the Wylder is one of the more intriguing. His overall look is evocative of your average sword-and-shield character, even if he actually wields a Greatsword, but there’s more going on than meets the eye.
Fortunately, the latest gameplay trailer offers more insight into his abilities, including the Sixth Sense Passive. It allows for automatically avoiding a fatal attack, but only once. Other skills include the grappling hook, which can pull the Wylder towards enemies. However, you can also stun foes with it.
Finally, there’s the Onslaught Stake, his Ultimate Art. As you probably surmised, this isn’t just an explosive crossbow shot – it’s a stake that you embed into the enemy and can stun larger targets for a critical blow.
With Elden Ring Nightreign launching on May 30th, two Nightfarers remain to be revealed – the Executor and Revenant. Stay tuned for more updates and in the meantime, check out our feature.
