Everdark Sovereign Gaping Jaw Movelist In Elden Ring Nightreign
Here are the various moves that Elden Ring Nightreign players should be aware of when fighting the Everdark Sovereign Gaping Jaw boss in the game:
| Move List | Description | How To Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Lightning Discharge | The boss will release a powerful lightning blast, dealing damage to everyone caught within its radius. | The lightning discharge has a charge time, so you should run away from the area of effect as soon as you see it developing. |
| Rush | Gaping Jaw will run across the arena and stampede players in its path. | Side-step or simply run away from the boss’s path, and you’ll be safe. |
| Face Slam | Gaping Jaw will slam its face on the ground and create small patches of lightning that will explode after a few seconds. | The small lightning patches are easy to dodge, and you can simply move to a safe area right away. |
| Air Slam | The boss will rise up in the air and slam down on the ground, dealing massive damage to anyone caught underneath. | Once the boss is in the air, its trajectory is fixed. So if you move below the boss or run to the opposite direction, you’ll be safe from the slam. |
| Lightning Storm | The boss will create a massive lightning storm that will damage everyone caught outside of its eye. | Once the Storm is created, there will be Spirit Springs all across the arena. Use one of the Springs to jump inside the eye of the storm, and you’ll be safe. |
| Lightning Slash | Gaping Jaw will rise up in the sky and perform a series of slashing attacks that can deal massive damage. | You’ll have to dodge through the slashing attacks, and you’ll be safe. |
| Bite | The boss will try to bite the player with its massive jaw, while dealing damage and inflicting blood loss. | Sidestep the bite to stay away from its area of effect. |
How To Defeat Everdark Sovereign Gaping Jaw In Elden Ring Nightreign
The Everdark Sovereign Gaping Jaw boss is among the more aggressive Nightlords in the game, and it deals a lot of damage. Additionally, the boss also comes with higher HP, which means you’ll have to be even more prepared than when fighting the normal version.
The easiest and most effective way to deal with the boss is to equip yourself with Poison weapons. This is because poison stops the boss in its path and puts a halt to its aggressive maneuvers.
Once the poison procs, the boss will get stunned, and you can use that opportunity to deal critical damage to it. Additionally, reducing blood loss buildup, physical damage negation, and lightning resistance can work pretty well in this fight.
Make sure you have enough health, and any buff that provides HP boosts or improves HP recovery will also be beneficial. Additionally, picking up all the Flask charges will also be worthwhile since it will help you stay healthy during the fight.
