Elden Ring Nightreign’s Revive Bars Have Hidden Challenges

Jun 18, 2025 4:22 PM

Elden Ring's latest update, Nightreign, introduces a complicated mechanic for reviving fallen teammates in PvE co-op play. Players can resurrect allies by depleting their purple revive bars, but the challenge escalates with each death. Initially, each revive costs players 40 HP, but the costs surge to 240 HP as players fall multiple times. Factors such as time left alone and weapon types also impact revive attempts. High-impact weapons like Greatswords are especially effective in shortening revive bars, making certain characters even more advantageous in cooperative gameplay.

How do revive mechanics work in Elden Ring Nightreign?

In Elden Ring Nightreign, revive mechanics become progressively tougher with each death. Reviving a teammate initially costs 40 HP, but as a player falls more, the cost increases significantly, requiring players to act quickly and use powerful weapons for optimal revival chances.

Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware, gained massive acclaim for its intricate gameplay and rich lore. The Nightreign expansion continues to evolve the game’s cooperative experience, enhancing the multiplayer dynamics while maintaining the series' challenging essence. Players must strategize not just their combat but also their revives, adding depth to team play.
