Up to now, the Everdark Sovereign Nightlords in Nightreign have been fairly the combined bag. Gaping Jaws has undoubtedly been probably the most spectacular of the fights up to now, offering each an incredible problem and dazzling spectacle. Darkdrift Knight, however, was a take a look at of endurance and power, whereas most not too long ago, the Everdark Sentient Pest offers a combat that’s enjoyable to be part of, however not notably arduous.
That’s excellent news for these of you studying this information. For those who’re not fairly positive how you can deal with the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest, they’re luckily a breeze to take down as soon as you recognize precisely what to do. On that notice, right here’s how you can beat the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest in Nightreign.
Easy methods to beat Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest in Nightreign
The Everdark Sovereign model of Sentient Pest (also called Gnoster, Knowledge of Evening) is a little bit of a ache in Nightreign. You’ve this enormous, tanky scorpion and this flying Poison-inflicting moth, which means you need each sturdy melee and ranged characters. Then the pair merge collectively and start conjuring magic laser beams throughout the sector which are virtually assured to down gamers… It’s all a really fairly nightmare.
That stated, Sentient Pest’s new, enhanced combat doesn’t truly really feel as difficult as you may’ve anticipated, particularly for those who’re properly ready. The combat, as per standard, begins with the second section, and with a fiery weapon at hand, you may attain the third section comparatively rapidly and never fear about these magic laser beams.
To problem this boss, open your Expeditions menu through the Roundtable and choose the purple model of Sentient Pest from the very backside of the Goal checklist (proven above).
If they aren’t obtainable for you, this implies you could defeat the unique model of the Sentient Pest first earlier than their Everdark model turns into obtainable.
Listed here are some issues to notice earlier than setting off on this Expedition:
- The combat begins with the Sentient Pest’s second section, so each Gnoster and his scorpion counterpart, Faurtis Stoneshield, shall be hooked up to 1 one other. They’ll additionally dish out magical pillars/beams that can stagger you, and also you need to keep away from these as finest as you may.
- Sentient Pest stays weak to Fireplace, and I’d argue they’re extra inclined to Fireplace Harm throughout this combat than their authentic combat, so you’ll want to deliver alongside a Fireplace weapon the place you may.
- Gnoster (the moth) is immune to Magic, Lightning, Holy, Insanity, Poison, and Sleep. Faurtis (the scorpion) is immune to Slash, Customary, Magic, Lightning, Holy, and Insanity. Consequently, you ideally need to deliver alongside weapons that deal Pierce, Strike, Fireplace, Frostbite, Scarlet Rot, or Bleed Harm.
- Raider and Ironeye are nice for this boss. Raider may be very tanky and hard-hitting, and with a fiery Colossal Weapon or in my occasion, a Mace, he can deplete Faurtir’s HP with ease. Ironeye is nice to have for preventing Gnoster, who usually flies across the enviornment, and I extremely advocate bringing no less than one ranged participant into this combat. Melee gamers – particularly Raiders – ought to simply be capable to poise-break the moth and assault it every time it’s close to the bottom.
- Decide up and devour any Neutralising Boluses in Limveld. Gnoster dishes out Poison harm at instances, and having Poison Resistance will provide help to negate this massively so you may maintain preventing.
- Search for passive results and traits that present Bodily Harm Negation and Magic Harm Negation, as that is the harm kind that the Sentient Pest primarily offers.
- Purpose for Stage 13 or above and improve your weapons. Everdark fights are more durable than your common combat, due to this fact you need to be more durable too. Purple-rarity weapons and being Stage 13 or increased are one factor that make this combat breezy.
As we’ve simply talked about, the combat begins with Sentient Pest’s second section, so their strikes through the first portion of the combat shouldn’t be stunning to you. For those who want any assist with that in any respect, check out our Sentient Pest boss information for his or her authentic combat.
This specific combat additionally options two separate well being bars. So, the Sentient Pest received’t transition at half-HP like prior Everdark Sovereign fights in opposition to Gaping Jaws and Darkdrift Knight. As a substitute, the Everdark Sentient Pest’s third section begins as soon as its preliminary well being bar is totally depleted.
As soon as the third section begins, there’ll be a brief pause right here earlier than Animus, Ascendant Mild – a pink, spectral butterfly-like creature – seems. This creature revives each Faurtis Stoneshield and Gnoster to roughly 25% of their HP earlier than usually avoiding you and your workforce, however don’t panic: Faurtis and Gnoster will use their first section strikes right here. Nothing new or scary!
Now, what you should do right here is choose an enemy and combat them collectively. Faurtis Stoneshield (the scorpion) is extra troubling, so I like to recommend all your workforce preventing him first. When you deplete his HP, Animus will fly over and start sacrificing his HP to take over Faurtis’ corpse; that is your alternative to assault Animus.
As soon as Animus then fully possesses Faurtis, you need to combat Faurtis once more and rapidly. He’ll glow pink this time, and alongside his standard assaults, he’ll cease on both facet of his physique, unleashing pink shockwaves via the bottom that you just need to roll away from. He’s additionally able to unleashing a roar earlier than charging across the enviornment, leaving pink shockwaves in his path.
For those who don’t kill Faurtis fast sufficient, Animus will make your life considerably tougher by reappearing to combat you himself, and this time, he’ll conjure these terrible laser beams from Sentient Pest’s second section that all of us hate. Not solely that, however they’ll be larger and all of the extra brutal. You need to keep away from this the place potential.
As soon as Faurtis has been felled (once more!), Animus will reappear. I like to recommend working over to Gnoster and rapidly felling them subsequent, and identical to Faurtis, Animus will fly over and sacrifice a few of its HP to own the magical moth. Whereas Animus does that, make sure that to make use of this window of alternative to assault it.
As soon as Gnoster has been possessed, you then need to deal with killing it as rapidly as potential, as doing so will probably finish the combat. For those who don’t kill it rapidly, Animus can reappear and start attacking you itself. Gnoster’s new strikes are primarily enhanced variations of his present moveset: anticipate extra projectiles, extra seize assaults, extra clouds of poison, and extra magic rain. These are nonetheless simply prevented by dodging, nevertheless.
Killing Gnoster now will probably finish the combat, offered Animus has taken sufficient harm. If not, you have to to assault Animus to finish the combat – which shouldn’t take a lot – or as soon as once more, assault whichever creature it subsequent possesses. In the end, the boss shall be felled from the harm you do, or the harm it does to itself by possessing each Gnoster and Faurtis.
Upon efficiently beating the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest, you’ll be rewarded with 25 Sovereign Sigils to spend on outfits, Shifting Earth occasions, or new Relics, together with the brand new Darkish Evening of the Clever Relic which is nice for Revenant and Duchess followers.

ONGBAL additionally takes a really totally different strategy to this combat when enjoying solo. You’ll discover that in Sentient Pest’s third section, relatively than preventing Gnoster or Faurtis, he kites them till there’s a possibility to assault Animus. He solely assaults Animus throughout this portion of the combat, and properly, as soon as Animus’ HP is depleted, the combat is over. That is an alternate method to go in regards to the combat, and might be the best way you need to go about this combat if taking up the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest solo.
