Darkdrift Knight Fulghor weakness
Darkdrift Knight Fulghor is weak to lightning damage in Elden Ring Nightreign. You can see this reflected on the target screen when highlighting the Expedition. This is true for the standard and the Everdark Sovereign version. However, just because you have lightning damage, does not mean this fight will be easy – it will still be a challenge.
How to get a lightning weapon
So, you know Darkdrift Knight’s weakness, now you just need to get a weapon with lightning damage. There are two ways to go about this: by equipping a relic or by finding a weapon during an Expedition. The easiest way is to equip a relic that says your starting armament will deal lightning damage – this means you don’t need to rely on random drops and can even upgrade it with Smithing Stones.
Finding a lightning weapon is tougher. You must find a point of interest that has a lightning icon on it when looking at the map. This means you are guaranteed to get a lightning weapon from the boss. However, the weapon may not scale with your character’s attributes or it might be a seal or staff!
No matter which route you take to get a lightning weapon, once you have it, you will be able to explort Darkdrift Knight Fulghor’s weakness. Keep that damage up, mind your footing, and he should hopefully go down without too much stress. Stop by our Elden Ring Nightreign page for more help clearing these Nightlords.
