Who left the window open? There’s another bug!

In the ongoing support for Elden Ring: Nightreign, a new boss has been introduced—the Sentient Pest. This Everdark boss, described as a blend of an airborne moth and a spiky scorpion, has failed to meet the high expectations set by its predecessor, Gaping Jaw.

Expectations Vs. Reality

Everdarks, like Gaping Jaw, set a challenging standard, thrilling players with unique mechanics and intense battles. In contrast, the Sentient Pest seems like a lesser challenge.

“Oh no, I’ve been playing a tutorial for 55 hours.”
Translation: This was a sentiment echoed by those who found Gaping Jaw to dramatically raise the difficulty bar, making the experience feel more like a tutorial when facing the subsequent bosses.

Sentient Pest: An Underwhelming Battle

Players have reported that the Sentient Pest is not particularly hard—its mechanics are predictable, and the excitement of prior battles is sorely missing. After defeating the initial monsters in the fight, a flaming moth arrives to revive them, leading to some repetitive gameplay…

As players continue to engage with Elden Ring: Nightreign, hopes are high that future bosses will offer the exhilarating experiences expected from FromSoftware.
