1 min read

Adel, Baron of Night is a dragon that heals itself by grabbing players — poison stops both problems at once.

Elden Ring Nightreign Gaping Jaw is the community name for Adel, Baron of Night, a dragon-type Nightlord with one dominant weakness.

The weakness

Poison. Enough of it makes Adel vomit and stagger, opening a window for critical damage. Bring Poison Pots and Poison Grease, and stack the Attack Boost (Dragons) Dormant Power from the Mountaintop if it is available.

Key attacks (normal mode)

  • Large electric AOE once it drops below 50% HP — keep distance.
  • Grab and chew — it heals itself doing this; interrupt with an Ultimate Art if one is ready.
  • Single-target lunge and bite chain after a roar — dodge repeatedly while the rest of the squad attacks from behind.

Everdark Sovereign phase

The arena shrinks, it dashes rapidly before releasing electricity, and it dive-bombs into an expanding cyclone — stand in the tornado's centre rather than trying to outrun it. Recommended level for a standard fight sits around 12.
