Wending Grace Not Working In Elden Ring Nightreign

Playing solo in Elden Ring Nightreign does limit the player in that they don’t have companions to take enemy attention or deal additional damage. While enemy health bars do scale down when playing alone, completing an expedition can be quite challenging on your own.

Along with scaled-down enemies, playing alone can give you access to a unique item called Wending Grace, which will help you get back up when you die. While it may seem like the item is not working in some situations, it’s actually working fine, it’s just a bit more situational than advertised.

How Does Wending Grace Work In Elden Ring Nightreign

Wending Grace only appears when playing a solo expedition, and its description indicates it “rises you from death.” This item is used to pick you up after you go down while playing alone, as you don’t have a teammate to pick you up.

The main caveat to this item that’s not listed in the description is that it will only pick you up when facing a Nightboss or Nightlord. If you die anytime during the day against random mobs or even field bosses, you’ll die as usual and still lose your level. This does limit the overall uses for this item, as you can’t save yourself from death during the day and buy another one before the next Nightboss.

Even with this item, it’s important to pick a class that is well-suited for playing alone, as dying is always a threat when moving so fast:

While dying during the day can be frustrating, your run won’t immediately end, and even with one less level, you can keep moving forward and try to win. This restriction on Wending Grace does mean it’s best to buy the item right before the end of a day, and save your earlier runes for leveling up your character and gear.

Dying to a Nightboss means the run is over, so even with the limited use, it’s best to always spend the runes on one, as an unused Wending Grace during the first night can be held onto into the next night or the Nightlord fight. Merchant inventories always shift and are randomized, but every merchant in a solo expedition run will have a Wending Grace.
