Hur man låser upp Duchess-klassen i Elden Ring: Nightreign – Steg-för-steg-guide

The Duchess is one of two locked classes in Elden Ring: Nightreign, and unlocking her is the key to gaining access to the Revenant as well. She’s a fast, stealth-focused character with strong team utility and a unique rewind mechanic. This guide shows exactly how to unlock Duchess class in Nightreign and what makes her stand out.
What are Elden Ring: Nightreign Classes?
Elden Ring: Nightreign is a standalone souls-like RPG battle royale where players enter solo or in teams to conquer twisted lands and fight world bosses under the threat of permanent death. The game emphasises precise combat, limited resources, and high-stakes runs across randomly generated maps. The main goal of the race: to defeat the Nightlord, which, of course, you still have to live to achieve.
Classes in Nightreign define your entire playstyle. Each class comes with a fixed passive, active skill, and ultimate ability. You can’t change abilities mid-run, so mastering your chosen Nightfarer class is key to survival and synergy with your team. Most classes are available early on, but the Duchess and Revenant must be unlocked through specific in-game actions.

Step-by-step guide to unlocking the Duchess
To unlock the Duchess, you’ll need to complete your first expedition and deliver a specific item to a key NPC. Here’s the full process broken down:
| Step | Action | Details |
| 1 | Defeat Gladius, Beast of Night | Complete the Tricephalos Expedition to get the Old Pocketwatch. This is the first major boss. |
| 2 | Alternative drop method | You may get the Old Pocketwatch by grouping with someone who has already defeated Gladius, even without defeating him by yourself. |
| 3 | Locate the Priestess | She waits in Roundtable Hold near the Expedition Table. |
| 4 | Hand over the Pocketwatch | Interact with the Priestess and choose “Show her the old pocketwatch.” |
| 5 | Watch the transformation | After the cutscene, she joins your roster as the Duchess. |
Once unlocked, the Duchess becomes permanently playable and opens the path to unlocking Revenant, which we described how to unlock, too. Both have amazing, deadly beauty.
Elden Ring: Nightreign – Other Classes Overview
Here’s a quick look at seven of the main classes available in Nightreign and what they bring to your party:
- Executor – High damage, high risk melee duelist who thrives in 1v1s.
- Recluse – Tricky hybrid with teleporting blades and slippery movement.
- Revenant – Summoner class with ghostly allies and powerful scaling (unlockable).
- Raider – Aggressive glass cannon that snowballs with kills and item steals.
- Ironeye – Defensive juggernaut with taunts and hard crowd control.
- Guardian – Healer-tank hybrid that protects allies and revives faster.
- Wylder – All-rounder starter class with defensive cooldowns and versatility.
Each class is built for a specific team role, and combining them well is the key to surviving deeper Nightreign runs. Unlocking the Duchess adds stealth tactics and enables the Revenant path, making her essential for any serious player.
