Use Lock-On to Focus a Target
Whenever you're in a battle, remember to use the Lock-On feature. Not only will this allow you to track your enemy better, but this will also let you use projectile attacks much easier, as it'll automatically focus your target.
Attack Humanoids Behind Them to Use Backstabs
If you can sneak up on humanoid enemies, you can attack them from behind to launch a critical strike. These attacks deal massive amounts of damage and can easily take down strong enemies if the opportunity arises.
Maximize Your Equipped Armaments
Your character can equip a total of 6 armaments at the same time. Each armament can have its passive effect which is active even when not in use. Additionally, you may also want to have a ranged armament equipped at all times, as these can be used in a multitude of ways, such as attacking enemies from afar or even helping downed allies.
Equip Relics that Complement Your Playstyle or Nightfarer
Unlike armaments, Relics are equipment that are permanent to your account and do not disappear per session. Equipping Relics that will complement your playstyle or your Nightfarer is crucial to make your runs in Limveld much easier.
Some Relics provide stat bonuses that may be helpful to your nightfarer or provide unique effects such as healing on certain items or revealing treasures, so experiment on which relic will help you the most during your runs.
Obtain and Upgrade Equipment Throughout Limveld
Obtaining items and equipment is necessary to make your runs at Limveld much smoother. You can obtain multiple weapons that can aid you as you play through the game.
You can obtain some by defeating bosses, and some may be purchased through merchants. You can also upgrade equipment by using Smithing Tables to strengthen your attacks.
Approach Fights Tactically With Your Mobility Options
Nightreign features a much faster movement than its previous Souls predecessors, so use these to your advantage. Use new moves like Wall Jumps to enter fights from a different angle or Surge Sprint to move around the area much faster.

| (Q) Ultimate Icon | Your Ultimate icon indicator. You'll be able to use your ultimate once its gauge is full. |
These are the basics of the game's combat UI. Learning each of its functionalities is key to understanding the intricacies of the game's combat system.
Recover HP Using Flasks
Flasks are handy items that can replenish your HP. Be sure to regularly but not overuse them, as their uses are limited.
How to Get More Flask Charges and Upgrade Flasks
Recover FP Using Starlight Shards
Starlight Shards are consumable items that allow you to replenish your FP. Unlike Flasks, these cannot be replenished at sites of graces. Be sure to conserve your FP as much as possible and use them only in situations that would be most beneficial for you and your team.
How to Recover and Increase FP
Replenish Flasks at Sites of Graces
Search for Sites of Grace in Limveld to replenish your flask charges to continue your journey much smoothly.
Avoid Overusing Your Stamina
Stamina is an important resource that gets used whenever you attack, guard, dodge, or perform many other moves. It will recover quickly once it's not being used, but be sure to avoid overusing your stamina, or you may end up in a situation where you cannot use a defensive move due to lack of stamina.
Use Guard and Dodge Rolls to Avoid Enemy Attacks
Dodge Rolls and Guarding are effective tools in deterring enemy aggression. Be sure to play defensively to avoid taking needless damage.
Attack Downed Allies to Revive Them
Allies will be put in a near-death state after getting their HP depleted. You can help allies by attacking them to revive them and let them keep the fight going.
How to Revive and Rescue Allies
Ranged Attacks Can be Used to Help Downed Allies
If you have ranged armaments like wands and bows, you can use those to resurrect allies from a safer distance. Be sure to keep one as a side weapon to give you more options on the battlefield!
