How to Fight Nightwraiths

How to Fight

Fighting Nightwraiths is similar to dealing with Noonwraiths. Their main difference would be the time of day when you can fight them.

The best way to deal with Nightwraiths is to plant Yrden Sign traps to force the Nightwraith to become corporeal allowing your Silver Sword to deal damage to it. You can also do this by throwing Moon Dust Bombs at it if you are having trouble fighting around the Yrden Sign trap.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Specter oil to deal bonus damage to them. Prepare Moon Dust Bombs to force the Nightwraith to become corporeal and take damage from your Silver Sword.

Special Sign Effects

  • Yrden - This will force them to become corporeal allowing your Silver Sword to deal damage to the Nightwraith.
