New Gameplay Mechanics:

  • No fall damage

  • Revival system instead of instant death
  • Relic rewards system for character progression
  • No FP flasks, limited healing flask availability
  • Automatic stat distribution when leveling

Important Note: Elden Ring Nightreign can be played without owning the original Elden Ring, as it's a completely standalone experience focusing on faster-paced, roguelike gameplay rather than traditional RPG mechanics.
