Turns Out Elden Ring Nightreign's Revive Bars Have Some Hidden Mechanics That Make Them Increasingly More Difficult To Whittle Down

Elden Ring Nightreign's presumption arsenic a co-op PvE excursion introduced a caller mechanic for antecedently solo players successful revives. Those who autumn successful conflict deed the crushed and tin get picked backmost up, if their teammates wail connected them hard capable to sound retired the purple bars of their circular dial.

I'm astir apt not unsocial successful feeling like, sometimes, this mechanic seems to get much arduous arsenic players autumn much often. If you autumn once, it's lone 1 pip connected the bar; but by 3rd death, you've got the full radius covered successful purple, and it tin consciousness rather hard to spot that overmuch purple barroom down portion a Nightlord is attacking you.

As it turns out, determination are immoderate hidden mechanics that whitethorn beryllium helping oregon hindering your efforts to prime your teammates backmost up. YouTuber Zullie the Witch has been connected the Elden Ring Nightreign beat, and precocious enactment up caller video successful which they effort to recognize however revives work. (Thanks for the spot, PC Gamer.)

Per Zullie's investigation, the archetypal clip a subordinate falls successful battle, they get 1 barroom astatine a full of 40 HP. But arsenic they proceed to fall, this escalates astatine a astonishing rate, with 45 per barroom astatine 2nd decease and a whopping 80 per barroom astatine three, for a expansive full of 240 HP full if you're connected 3 bars.

Hitting the subordinate who's downed chips distant astatine those totals, but if they're near unsocial for 3.5 seconds, the decease timer astir their dial resumes (unless you're successful a Night brag fight) and the gauge starts to refill. The capable clip besides speeds up arsenic you summation much bars, going from 2-per-second astatine 1 barroom to 40-per-second astatine 3 bars.

That's a batch of mathematics to say: the much you fall, the harder it gets (exponentially so) to prime you backmost up. There is immoderate bully quality though, arsenic penalties gradually deterioration disconnected implicit clip oregon whenever 1 visits a Site of Grace.

Zullie besides highlights immoderate hidden mathematics successful however weapons enactment connected the revive bars, too. It's astir what you'd expect, compared to regular attacks; elephantine weapons, similar Halberds, Reapers, and Greatswords person much interaction connected the revive barroom than Claws, Daggers, Torches, oregon Fists connected a per-swing basis.

In fact, Revenant's Cursed Claws marque for uniquely effectual revival tools successful this regard, arsenic they person the aforesaid basal numbers arsenic a Greatsword. Revenant mains tin efficaciously play some White Mage and Summoner, I guess?

Zullie's video goes into adjacent much mathematics astir the revival numbers, but for the mean Elden Ring Nightreign player, the coagulated takeaways are that higher bars get progressively harder to wide arsenic Nightfarers fall. Honestly, it makes definite characters similar the Revenant adjacent much invaluable arsenic teammates, erstwhile they person some summons to assistance retired and an eventual that volition prime teammates backmost up careless of their bar's status.
