Status Effects

When the bleed buildup meter fills, deals a large burst of damage equal to a percentage of the target's max HP. One of the most reliable damage tools against high-HP targets.

Bleed is a status effect that builds up through attacks and, once triggered, inflicts a burst of damage. It is a major combat mechanic in ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN, rewarding repeated pressure and weapon or skill choices that can quickly fill the target’s buildup gauge.

When the death buildup meter fills, the target dies instantly regardless of remaining HP. Caused only by specific Nightlords and certain weapons. Cure on sight or expect a wipe.

Death Blight is a status effect that builds up until it instantly kills its target, making it one of the most dangerous afflictions in ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN. It is associated with death-based attacks and hazards that can rapidly turn the tide of battle.

When the frostbite buildup meter fills, deals damage and increases damage taken from all sources for a short duration. Strong against high-HP bosses with long phases.

Frostbite is a status effect that builds up from cold-based attacks and, once triggered, deals a burst of damage to the target. It leaves the afflicted enemy weakened for a short time, making it an important pressure tool in combat.

When the madness buildup meter fills, deals heavy HP and FP damage in a single burst. Some enemies are immune. Effective against humanoid bosses and Nightlords with FP-dependent moves.

Madness is a status effect that builds up on a target and can trigger a frenzy-like breakdown when it fills. It is associated with chaotic, mind-breaking attacks and effects, making it a dangerous crowd-control and burst-damage threat in combat.

Once the poison meter fills, applies a moderate damage-over-time tick. Reliable against most bosses. Deadly Poison is a stronger variant tied to specific weapons and items.

Poison is a status effect that builds up from certain attacks, hazards, and weapons in ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN and inflicts damage over time once triggered. It is used to wear down enemies and can also threaten the player if afflicted, making poison resistance and quick recovery valuable in extended fights.

Once the buildup meter fills, applies a heavy damage-over-time tick that drains HP for an extended duration. The most punishing DoT effect in the game when applied repeatedly.

Scarlet Rot is a status effect that afflicts targets with a devastating rot buildup, causing them to suffer sustained damage over time once it takes hold. It is one of the major harmful conditions in ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN, used by certain enemies, hazards, and attacks to pressure players through prolonged attrition rather than immediate burst damage.

When the sleep meter fills, the target is briefly stunned for a few seconds. The next attack against a sleeping target deals critical damage. Useful for setting up burst windows.

Sleep is a status effect that causes affected targets to drift into slumber, leaving them unable to act until the effect ends or they are disturbed. It is part of the game’s combat status system and can be used to control enemies by opening them to follow-up attacks.
