Elden Ring Nightreign is a challenging game. If you have experience with other FromSoftware titles, you should understand how a Souls-like game works. However, if you’re unfamiliar, be prepared to die an incredible number of times.

Since the game is heavily multiplayer-focused, you and your team must cooperate to complete the expeditions. However, when you die, you not only lose your runes but also your levels. Consequently, dying frequently can be very detrimental to your progression. Fortunately, in multiplayer mode, you do not die immediately. There’s a brief window of opportunity for your teammates to revive you.

You don’t die instantly if you take lethal damage while playing in multiplayer. Your character enters a Near-Death state, which lasts nearly 45 seconds. During this time, you can only crawl slowly on the ground in the direction of your choice. To revive someone from this state, you must hit them. Yes, you need to hit your own teammates to revive them.

You can see how much time someone has left in a Near-Death state with the circular icon that appears when they take fatal damage. The icon contains two circles; the purple circle shows how much you need to attack to revive someone, while the other acts as a timer indicating how long they have left in the Near-Death state. You can temporarily pause the timer by hitting it, but it will start again shortly after.

Once you hit your downed teammate enough, the radial icon should empty. This results in your teammate being revived with 40% of their health. However, if you fail to revive them, they will die and respawn at the last site of grace. Additionally, dying causes them to lose all runes and levels to the enemy that killed them. Note that respawning does not work in major boss arenas. If all players are downed, the expedition ends.

Tips on Reviving Teammates in Elden Ring Nightreign

When it comes to reviving a teammate in Elden Ring Nightreign, there are a few tips that can help expedite the process.

Poison Pots are excellent items for reviving someone. The DOT (Damage over time) effect helps keep the death timer from counting down and accelerates the revive process by constantly inflicting damage.
Utilize long-range items or weapons to hit your friends from a distance. This can help stop the timer without worrying about them dying.
Employ skills or ultimates that can deal significant damage very quickly. Wylder has a great ultimate that inflicts major damage on a single target. Combined with his mobility, he becomes a valuable asset to the team.
Melee weapons with high but quick damage output are ideal for reviving. Use any weapons with good Dex scaling.
