One Elden Ring gamer shows the efficacy of Night Maiden's Mist by using it to cheese three Crystalians simultaneously. Elden Ring is a massive game with a gigantic open world full of intimidating enemies like bears, sorcerers, knights, wolves, dragons, and giant lobsters. Melee players can choose from hundreds of weapons to battle these fearsome creatures, while mage characters in Elden Ring can pick from a wide range of magic attacks.
Gamers from both schools of thought frequently argue that their playing style is better than the other. Melee players often complain that mage users use cheese techniques to defeat challenging enemies in Elden Ring. The claim is valid to some extent, as many sorceries and incantations from Elden Ring — like Comet Azur, Inescapable Frenzy, and Carian Slicer — can overwhelm the strongest bosses in the game. Now, one person has discovered another powerful spell that can come in handy during a boss fight in Elden Ring.
Reddit user stretch3251 uploaded a video on the Elden Ring subreddit showing how overpowered the Night Maiden's Mist sorcery can be against multiple enemies. The video shows the user standing near three Crystalian enemies in the Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree region of Elden Ring. The three Elden Ring bosses are sitting in a semicircle, and the player approaches from the opposite side without alerting them. Stretch3251 stealthily performs the Night Maiden's Mist attack, creating a cloud of dense mist that engulfs each Crystalian and deals moderate damage.
Despite losing a decent amount of HP by the fog, the Elden Ring enemies remain oblivious to the fact that they're being attacked. Instead, the trio remains seated in their original positions, almost inviting the player to continue their magic-based assault. As a result, stretch3251 repeats the Night Maiden's Mist sorcery a bunch of times on the three Crystalians while trying to stay hidden from their sight. Ultimately, the player emerges victorious as all the Crystalians die in less than a minute. The video shows how effective Night Maiden's Mist can be against multiple enemies in Elden Ring and can be a useful tool for stealth players who can remain undetected for extended periods.
Gamers who want to use Night Maiden's Mist in their playthroughs can purchase it from Gowry in Elden Ring for 5,000 runes. However, certain factors should be considered while using the aforementioned sorcery. For instance, the mist lasts for 17 seconds, deals standard physical damage, and requires at least 14 Intelligence. Players at lower levels can use this sorcery by using Intelligence boosting equipment like Karolos Glintstone Crown, Olivinus Glintstone Crown, Glintstone Staff, Demi-Human Queen's Staff, or Stargazer Heirloom.
