How to Unlock Revenant – Elden Ring: Nightreign

The mysterious ghost lady is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a locked character option from the start. Unlocking Revenant is relatively simple, and mostly just involves a Murk purchase back at the Roundtable Hold and a boss fight against her before she becomes a playable character option.

Prerequisite – Duchess Unlocked

However, it does come with a prerequisite — you need to unlock the Duchess as a character first. Thankfully, if you had your first successful Expedition, you likely already have the item needed to do so (the Old Pocketwatch) — check out our How to Unlock Duchess guide to see the NPC you need to hand it to.

1 – Purchase “Besmirched Frame” from the Jar Merchant

Back at the Roundtable Hold/your central hub between expeditions, head over to the Small Jar Bazaar merchant in the West wing. Look for “Besmirched Frame” — the item will be available if you have Duchess unlocked. It costs 1,500 Murk (which you earn from Expeditions).

2 – Interact with Revenant

When you are ready for the boss fight, check your Roundtable Hold map for a yellow exclamation mark (it will be in the North corner of the East wing).

Look for a ghost girl in the corner. Interact with her and say “YES” when offered to “Touch phantom?”

3 – Night Idol Boss Fight

Doing so will transport you to an arena with a boss fight against the ghost girl you interacted with. In this form, her name is “Night Idol”. She will summon 3 spirits as her adds.

Don’t worry — if you fail, you can simply interact with the ghost once again to give it another shot. It won’t cost you anything.

Following the boss fight, the ghost girl will reveal herself to be the Revenant, which will unlock her as a playable character. She is a peculiar hybrid of a melee/caster with the ability to revive fallen enemies, as well as summon her 3 spirits (which you fought in the arena), and revive allies in the near-death state, while turning them and herself invincible.
