Fortunately, the process isn’t complicated, but it will take a fair amount of time if you’re just a beginner. If you have already been playing Nightreign since launch, chances are that you’ll automatically meet the prerequisites for unlocking the content.

How to start the Forsaken Hollows DLC in Elden Ring Nightreign

There are two tasks you must complete to gain access to the contents offered by the DLC.

  • Unlock the two new Nightfarers in the form of Scholar and Undertaker.
  • Unlock the new boss.

The first task requires you to defeat two different Nightlord expeditions. The first one has to be Tricephalos, while the second one can be any, as per your preference. Once you complete the two Nightlord expeditions, head to the Small Jar Merchant. You’ll find him in the east wing of the Roundtable Hold. Speak with him, and you should be able to unlock the new DLC Nightfarers.

Once done, the next task is to begin the new Shifting Earth event titled ‘The Great Hollow‘. This expedition features the new Balancers boss. Head to the chapel that opens up behind the Small Jar Merchant, and you will get to challenge the new Shifting Earth event.

However, be careful since all the post-release update content from The Forsaken Hollows DLC will appear in Deep of Night. This will also apply to all base-game expeditions. That said, the conditions will appear in Deep of Night only if you matchmake with three players who own the DLC.

If you already own the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game, you’ll automatically receive The Forsaken Hollows DLC at no extra cost. Alternatively, the new DLC is available as a standalone purchase. Ownership is a must if you want to enjoy all the content offered by the latest expansion.
