However, by abusing the infinite spawning mobs in the Wormface encounter and the lack of a time limit in <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/elden-ring-nightreign-gets-its-first-limited-time-enhanced-nightlord-gaping-jaw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">boss fights<\/a>, mintius was able to farm enemies to their heart\u2019s content (this is also possible by farming the smaller spiders in the Duke\u2019s Dear Freja Night Boss fight). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with how Elden Ring Nightreign calculates the Marais Executioner Sword\u2019s damage multiplier. When players deal more damage than the game can handle, it causes an \u201coverflow\u201d which resets the damage values to zero. Since the Marais Executioner Sword\u2019s damage buff applies to all of your weapons (fists included), you could end up with no means to defend yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"899\" height=\"467\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250626-494610001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250626-494610001.jpg 899w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250626-494610001-380x197.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250626-494610001-768x399.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/elden-ring-nightreign-20250626-346198\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interview<\/a> with Automaton, mintius says that, while they were essentially stuck during his solo Marais Executioner Sword test, most players won\u2019t run into the same problem in an online setting. Provided your teammates are playing the game as intended, they will still be able to progress the run (they just won\u2019t be able to rely on you should you exceed the calculable damage multiplier cap). <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/does-elden-ring-nightreign-really-have-a-secret-way-to-increase-the-odds-of-a-rare-relic-pull\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Given the rarity<\/a> of the Marais Execution Sword and the number of enemies you need to defeat to get it sufficiently buffed up, it looks like the only way you can reach the damage multiplier cap is by playing solo or with <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/elden-ring-nightreigns-devs-thought-it-looked-funny-to-revive-teammates-by-attacking-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a well-coordinated team<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mintius plans on doing more tests with the Marais Executioner Sword now that they know how many enemies they need to defeat before it is rendered useless. Specifically, they want to see how much damage a plunging attack from the Marais Executioner Sword can do on a Flame Chariot from a sufficient height. If their calculations are correct, the resulting plunge attack could end up dealing tens of thousands of damage. Mintius just needs to be mindful of how many enemies they defeat prior to testing, or else they might end up dealing no damage instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elden Ring Nightreign is available for PC (Steam), PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elden Ring Nightreign player tested the limits of the Marais Executioner Sword, farming mobs until damage cap &#8211; and then meeting his demise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":49462,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-49461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
