Though deeply rooted in the Elden Ring universe and its Lands Between, the Elden Ring Nightreign setting allowed FromSoftware to make the game a celebration of its challenging Souls series, adding content lifted from games such as Dark Souls 3, among others. As you attempt to survive the Night and defeat the Nightlords, you will surely encounter some familiar faces from past games developed by the Japanese studio like the Nameless King and the Dancer of the Boreal Valley, but the content lifted from older games is not limited to bosses, as by achieving an extraordinary feat, you will be able to use skins inspired by the Dark Souls series, allowing you to turn Nightfarers into beloved characters like Solaire of Astoria and Sigmeyer of Catarina.

Unlocking the Dark Souls skins in Elden Ring Nightreign isn't really complicated, but it's far from easy, as you will have to successfully defeat at least four Nightlords to be able to embark on the Night Aspect Expedition, where you will be able to fight the game's final boss, Heolstor the Nightlord. Defeat the true lord of the Night, and once you are back in Roundtable Hold, you can access the mirror to check the Dark Souls skins that are now available for purchase, and unlock them using Muck.
While unlocking the Dark Souls skins in Elden Ring Nightreign can be quite challenging, the effort is well worth it, especially if you are a fan of FromSoftware games. We may never get another entry in the Dark Souls series, but getting to play as some of its characters will make the pain of knowing that their stories are done a little more bearable.
