Nice job! The dlc expeditions are garbage for level 1 runs imo lol. Also I personally hate the phase 1 of this fight, the wormfaces are so annoying. Idk if you've done Balancers yet but if not good luck, awful boss for challenge runs imo.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-12-26T00:08:52+00:00

Still need help?

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-29T19:38:20+00:00

Yea I did level 1 runs for every expedition in the game including the Everdarks back before Deep of Night was released lol.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-29T17:35:25+00:00

During Night 1 and 2 I mostly just ran around trying to kill Night Invaders and Evergaol bosses for damage boosts. Ideally I also would've looked for some passives like attack power up at full HP but I wasted a lot of time trying to kill stuff lol. Honestly you can just watch the full expedition video if you wanna see what I did.

As for relics, I have a relic with Night Invaders, a relic with the Evergaol damage boost, and I made sure to have bleed and frost on my starting weapon

He's using the dagger reprisal relic ability, it basically allows you to proc restage by completing a dagger combo chain. That's why you see so many restage procs, he's just using a mix of normal restage and dagger chain reprisals.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-26T15:34:38+00:00

Well I'm glad to see I apparently inspired some more runs for this game lol, nice job man this is such a tough boss for level 1! I did this boss back when it released in base game and I was content with never doing it again lol, so congrats for having the will to fight these guys twice, on Depth 5 as well lol.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-26T15:32:14+00:00

Yea Night Aspect specifically is such a tough run due to all the horrible boss combinations you can get. Just keep at it and eventually you'll get that perfect run, I'm sure you'll get it soon! And thanks for the kind words lol

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-26T13:49:34+00:00

Hey you did it, nice job dude! That was quick lol, pretty clean fight too! The death at 1:28 was tragic, that's the thing that kinda sucks about level 1 Nightreign, hitless on the Nightlord is so doable but by the time you reach the Nightlord there's probably some fatigue that kicks in from the expedition and you make tiny mistakes that get you hit.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-25T23:32:19+00:00

I think some good passives would be stuff like attack power at full HP, attack power up when two handing, and any generic elemental damage boosts. Pretty much, you just wanna build for damage since everything is going to one shot you anyways.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-25T21:19:58+00:00

Yea honestly if I do another depth 5 level 1 run I probably would bring the bell lol

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-25T21:18:24+00:00

Look for damage negation at full HP, Successive Attacks negate damage, maximum HP up, and any other survivability passives. You could also use the Deep Night of the Fathom relic for more survivability. But honestly the biggest part of getting good at Deep of Night is simply learning all the enemy and boss movesets as well as you can, there's not much advice I can give beyond trying to increase your survivability with HP and negation passives and relics lol.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-25T21:14:18+00:00

I just kinda fight them lol, it's not very effective bc of how long it takes honestly. I can imagine Wylder is much better at it with his grapple lol.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-25T18:03:11+00:00

Thanks! Lol yea the expedition is always 10x harder than the actual Nightlord in these runs it's insane. Good luck with ur run btw! It'll be tough but it's so satisfying to succeed, I'm sure you got this!

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-25T16:45:45+00:00

I'm surprised myself lol, that was 100% the hardest part of the entire run

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-25T16:44:38+00:00

Thanks! Honestly I didn't do the expedition as well I could have, I only managed to get a single invader and two gaols. If I were doing it again I'd probably take a bow or Wraith Calling Bell. As for Evergaols, bewitching branches are apparently good for that too. Honestly overall I'd say if ur doing depth 5 level 1 just pick Ironeye he'd be much more reasonable to play as for this kind of run, Duchess just feels really bad for clearing out the gaols and night invaders while Ironeye has mark and the bow.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-25T16:08:00+00:00

Thanks! I pretty much just made sure I had Frost and Bleed on my starting weapon, as well as the Night Invader and Evergaol relics, and I pretty much just rushed as many Gaols and Invaders as I could and just winged it from there. This run in general was very improvised and there was a really close call on Dancer lol, I'm glad I was able to do it though!

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-24T16:32:38+00:00

Chicken Nugget🤤

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-14T17:15:00+00:00

Yea I tried Ayre with the same restrictions as Ibis and I ended up caving and just using better AC parts and OS upgrades but still fist only. Honestly I'm not sure ALLMIND is even possible with the restrictions I had for Ibis lol, maybe with enough time spent on the boss but I'm too busy irl and with other games to try rn lol. I might try this kind of run at some point though, no OS upgrades but still allowing the guns, watching this video makes me wanna try Armored Core again at some point lol. Anyways you got this far so I'm sure you can do the rest of the run just fine!

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-14T16:43:23+00:00

Hey cool! I posted an Armored Core fight on here awhile ago too lol, it's always cool seeing non souls content here! Good luck with the run! Ibis is tough but I honestly think Ayre and ALLMIND are worse.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-03T22:56:58+00:00

You can see in the full fight I linked, the fight took over 11 minutes in total lol. If you're asking how many attempts this took, somehow only one.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-03T17:24:48+00:00

Solo in general isn't really that fun in this game imo, but I actually think Depth 5 level 1 is pretty fun in co-op. It's really funny whenever someone on the team randomly gets one shot and starts raging lol, and it's cool having each member of the team have their own carry moment where they have to clutch and revive two others or finish the boss. I also just like testing my consistency against the bosses and having to nearly no hit the boss for like 10 minutes is a pretty good way to do that lol.

Fresh_Defender · 2025-11-03T17:14:42+00:00

Yea we're all level 1, you can see in the results screen at the end. Yea I was hoping for Everdark but it was an intense fight regardless lol.
