However, these consumable items have silently been tweaked in Nightreign, making them a lot more meaningful than originally thought.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The core function is unchanged \u2013 boluses help you cure or reduce build-up from status effects like poison, Scarlet Rot, blood loss, frostbite and the like, depending on the type. However, players have noticed that consuming boluses in Nightreign increases your resistance to the corresponding status effect \u2013 and this buff lasts through the entire match. I was able to verify in-game that even if you die, your resistance stays active for the rest of the run.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"864\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250603-342324-001a-1536x864-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250603-342324-001a-1536x864-1.webp 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250603-342324-001a-1536x864-1-380x214.webp 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250603-342324-001a-1536x864-1-768x432.webp 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only that, but the effect of boluses stacks. Consuming the same type of boluses multiple times will increase your level of resistance, which will show up as a \u201c+\u201d indicator in your Special Effects (i.e. Poison Resistance +9).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inventory management in Nightreign is tight as you can normally only carry four items at a time \u2013 so the fact that boluses have a lasting effect without needing to be re-consumed mid-match makes them super valuable. But curiously, this new spec isn\u2019t listed in the official descriptions, so it&#8217;s gone under most players\u2019 radar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"864\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250603-342324-002-1536x864-1.jpg\" alt=\"Elden Ring Nightreign\" class=\"wp-image-48665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250603-342324-002-1536x864-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250603-342324-002-1536x864-1-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250603-342324-002-1536x864-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Until now, that is. Now that the secret is out, players are rethinking their strategy, especially when it comes to certain boss fights where dealing with status effects can get really tedious. If you stumble across extra boluses that you can\u2019t carry, it might be a good idea to just consume them on the spot to buff your resistances for the rest of the run. Thankfully, Nightreign lets you use items straight off the ground without adding them to your inventory \u2013 just hold the triangle button and press up on the D-pad (on DualSense).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elden Ring: Nightreign is out now for PC (Steam), PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elden Ring Nightreign has silently changed how boluses work, making these consumable items hidden game-changers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":48662,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[56,17],"class_list":["post-48661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-elden-ring","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
