When I first laid eyes on Fulghor, Champion of Nightglow, my controller nearly slipped from my sweat-drenched palms. This towering centaur nightmare at the climax of the Darkdrift Knight expedition isn't just another boss—he's Elden Ring Nightreign's ultimate aggression test. Boy oh boy, that second phase still gives me shivers! His hooves pound the earth like thunderclaps while that cursed Darkglow claw swipes with malicious intelligence. After countless attempts (and controller-throwing tantrums), I've forged a battle-tested strategy that'll turn this nightmare into a victory dance. Trust me, when Fulghor's health bar finally shattered, the adrenaline rush was sweeter than discovering a hidden Somber Smithing Stone cache!

Assembling Your Nightmare-Slaying Squad

You can brute-force this with random picks, but why make life harder? After dozens of co-op runs, this trio became my golden ticket:

  • Raider: My absolute MVP! His damage-negating skill feels like throwing sand in Fulghor's eyes. When he powerstances those beefy strength weapons? Chef's kiss! That Ultimate Art isn't just flashy—it's a literal squad lifesaver that cranks everyone's damage to eleven.

  • Wylder: Don't sleep on this jack-of-all-trades! Paired with Raider, they become a staggering machine. Watching Fulghor wobble when Wylder's lightning weapons connect? Pure poetry. And that Ultimate Art? It pins down Fulghor's deadliest moves like a butterfly collector's prize specimen.

  • Ironeye: My ranged anchor. When Fulghor fixates on melee buddies, Ironeye's marking shots turn him into a walking bullseye. His ultimate's interruption power saved more runs than I can count—like hitting pause during Fulghor's nastiest tantrums.

Prepping for the Apocalypse

Walking into this fight unprepared is like bringing a butter knife to a dragon fight. Three non-negotiables:

  1. Lightning is KING ⚡

Fulghor's hide practically sizzles when lightning strikes. Arm Raider and Wylder with Lightning-infused weapons or Ashes of War. Ironeye players? Slather those arrows with Lightning Grease—it's liquid victory!

  1. Status Effects are Secret Sauce

Scarlet Rot, Poison, or Frostbite? Yes please! Holy damage? Hard pass—Fulghor scoffs at it like stale bread.

  1. Level 12+ or Bust

Anything lower and his hoof-stomps will flatten you like a pancake. No Libra-style debuffs to worry about, just raw, unfiltered pain.

Phase One: The Deadly Waltz

This is where teamwork shines brighter than the Erdtree! With my dream team:

  • Raider and Wylder play tag-team attackers, dancing around Fulghor's flanks

  • Ironeye hangs back, painting targets like a sniper with a grudge

That Golden Charge attack? Pure evil—it's got more tracking than a bloodhound. But dodge-rolling through it feels like threading a needle during an earthquake. When you see him winding up that Golden Lance Slam...

...that's your lightning-interruption moment! Fail this and someone's getting skewered. Land it? Fulghor staggers like he's had one too many Nightfarer Goblets!

Phase Two: When Hell Opens Its Claw

At 50% health, Fulghor undergoes a grotesque transformation that'd make Gundyr blush. That Darkglow claw isn't just scary—it moves with predatory intelligence. Three new nightmares:

Attack Tell Counter
Darkclaw Slam Leaps skyward Dodge THEN punish—he's vulnerable!
Sweeping Fury Erratic claw swipes Aggro-swap between melee/ranged
AOE Corruption Glowing purple aura Spread out like butter on toast!

This is Ultimate Art o'clock! Time them during his recovery animations—seeing all three hit simultaneously feels like the universe aligning.

The secret sauce? Maintaining lightning pressure. When all three of us consistently zapped him, Fulghor crumpled faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. That final stagger... man, what a rush!

My Victory Epiphany

Beating Fulghor taught me that Nightreign isn't about solo heroics—it's a symphony of preparation, positioning, and elemental exploitation. That moment when his monstrous form dissolved into glowing remnants? I nearly cried into my headset. This fight's brutality makes victory taste sweeter than any Remembrance reward.
