How Elden Ring Nightreign Players Can Unlock Legendary Weapons in Expeditions?

Elden Ring: Nightreign has brought back every iconic weapon from the original game, including the mighty legendary weapons.

These are some of the most powerful weapons you can find in the game, making them a must-have for serious players.

But getting your hands on a legendary weapon isn’t easy. These rare items are not guaranteed in every run and may not always suit your character’s build.

Still, they’re worth chasing — especially if you want to increase your chances of survival during intense fights.

What Are Legendary Weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign?

Legendary weapons are the top-tier items in Elden Ring Nightreign. These weapons deal massive damage and come with special stats or effects.

However, they only start appearing after your team reaches a certain level. So, if your group is falling behind in the first two days of an Expedition, you may miss the opportunity to get them.

Using these weapons the right way can be the difference between winning and losing. That’s why it’s important to spend time at the end of your Expedition searching for them.

How to Find Legendary Weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign?

Getting a legendary weapon depends on luck and smart planning. Since the game works like a roguelike, rewards change every time you play. Still, there are some ways to improve your chances.

Target Big Bosses: Tougher bosses in the game, especially those in castles and major Points of Interest (POIs), are more likely to drop legendary gear. Plan to defeat them by Day 2 of your Expedition.
Reach Level 10: The best time to look for legendary weapons is when your party hits level 10. At this point, you unlock access to stronger bosses.
Look for Field Bosses with Red Borders: These enemies are marked on your map. They are stronger than usual but offer higher rewards. Beating them can almost guarantee a legendary drop for someone in your team.

Watch for “Shifting Earth” Events: Sometimes, the game will notify you about a special event in The Crater. This gives you the chance to upgrade your current weapon to legendary status. Don’t miss these events — they’re one of the rare non-random ways to secure a legendary weapon.
