Elden Ring Nightreign DLC Undertaker – Character Breakdown (Exclusive)
One of Elden Ring Night Reigns two new nightfarers, the Undertaker, might be my favorite of them all. GameSpot had the exclusive opportunity to play Elder Ring Night Reigns DLC, The Forsaken Hollows, early. We spent the entire day testing out two new characters, the Scholar and the Undertaker. And in this video, we are going to break down Undertaker. Be sure to check out our other video on Scholar afterward. Undertaker is a fast and furious damage dealer who can shred enemies. She’s an abbus sent by her monastery to slay night lords, and we’re pretty sure she’s going to become a staple of most night reign comps. Her weapon preference is hammers and has a scaling in both faith and strength. Her HP scaling is B and she has C scaling in FP and stamina. Given that she’s such a quick character, it would have been nice to have something higher than a C in stamina scaling, but I guess if it was any higher, she might be way too overpowered. All right, let’s break down her move sets. Her character skill is trance. The official description is bloodletting triggers the power of the Loaththesome Hex, which translates to when activated, her running becomes as fast as dashing without consuming stamina, while toughness and combo attack power all increase, and her dodge improves to a dodge step. If Undertaker’s ultimate art gauge is full, you can consume it for even more benefits. Her attack power goes up, movement speed increases even more, and she can dodge a lethal blow just like Wilder can. If you’re an aggressive player who likes to be in the thick of the action, you should be spamming this at every chance you get. Undertaker’s passive ability is confluence. When another player uses their ultimate art, the Undertaker has a brief window to activate hers for free, regardless of how full her own ultimate art gauges. The Undertaker’s ultimate art is Loathom Hex. Now, this is one hell of a fun alt. The Undertaker will pull an uncanny bone from her body, speed through the air toward the target like a missile, and unleash a powerful attack. It’s long range, high damage, and you can even do it midair. It’s perfect to help close gaps, and thanks to Confluence, can be used to stack incredible amounts of damage very quickly. It’s worth getting used to the amount of distance she can cover in the training grounds, there is nothing worse than popping your alt only for it to not connect because you were a little bit too far away. Also, make sure that there are no obstacles in your way. The last thing you want is to go splat into a wall or tree. You can also use it to get close to your allies if they’re downed. It’s a super versatile alt. While playing, we frequently coupled Undertaker with Duchess. What we would do is pop Duchess’s ultimate art. In doing so, we get a free Loathom Hex. Then, you can pop Loathom Hex again if your ultimate gauge is full. Then we can throw restage into the mix, which is Duchess’s ability that reapplies all the damage the enemy took in the last three seconds. Doing this successfully is so fun. You’re basically bullying any enemy that stands in your way. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to test out any Undertaker specific relics, but we were able to see what they are. Activating Ultimate Art increases attack power. Contact with allies restores their HP while Ultimate Art is activated. Attack power increased by landing the final blow of a chain attack. and physical attacks boosted while assist effect from incantation is active for south. Overall, Undertaker is one hell of a fun character to play and the satisfaction of popping her alt multiple times in quick succession to watch boss health bars deplete in seconds is unmatched. If you’re a greedy player like me, definitely keep an eye on that stamina bar. It certainly caught me out a few times. However, when you pop the trance ability, stamina management is obviously much easier. Undertaker can fit in any comp, but as mentioned, pairs very well with Duchess to stack a lot of damage very, very quickly. We even tried comps with multiple Undertakers to great effect. The Forsaken Hollows also introduces another Nightfarer, the Scholar. So, go check out Jake’s breakdown if you want to see how a true support character in Night Remain plays. And for our impressions on all the new content, including third day bosses and new shifting earth, check it out on Gamespot.
