Everdark Sovereign Rewards

Unlocks the Collector Signboard

Collector Signboard Appearance

The Collector Signboard is unlocked after defeating your first Everdark Sovereign. This allows you to buy new Urns and Relics, as well as change Shifting Earth and buy unlocked Skins using the new Sovereign Sigil currency.

You can also alter the Great Site of Grace at the Roundtable Hold, restoring it to the original state before unlocking Heolstor.

Collector Signboard Location and Features

Sovereign Sigils

Defeating an Everdark Sovereign for the first time will reward you with 25 Sovereign Sigils that can be exchanged for various items in the Collector Signboard. Succeeding victories reward fewer sigils.

What Are Everdark Sovereigns?

Enhanced Nightlord Bosses

Everdark Sovereigns are enhanced and significantly harder versions of the existing Nightlords, akin to a hard mode. These variants have new attacks and mechanics, including an additional third phase. These fights also start at the original version's second phase.

List of All Bosses and Weaknesses

Rotates Every Week

Based on the first Everdark Sovereign, it appears that new bosses will become available for a week starting from June 19, 2025 1:00 AM UTC. These are time-limited, so it's possible to miss the unique relic reward for each boss if you do not beat them in time.

If you miss your chance to beat a hard mode boss, you will need to wait for them to become available again before you can get the exclusive relic.

How to Unlock Everdark Sovereign

Defeat the Original Version of the Nightlord

You can unlock the Everdark Sovereign version of Nightlords by simply defeating their original version. Once unlocked, an expedition for the Everdark Sovereign will appear at the Roundtable Hold, if it's currently available. This icons appear as purple versions of the original icon at the bottom of the boss list.

Note that you must be in online mode to access the active Everdark Sovereign. It's possible to challenge it solo but not in offline mode.
