Nightreign's Souls Skins Refresh Elden Ring Looks

As players progress through Elden Ring Nightreign's endgame content, they're uncovering numerous alternate skins that FromSoftware has embedded as rewards. While many reference previous Souls titles as expected, some deeper callbacks prove particularly intriguing.

Souls content creator BonfireVN compiled a comparative showcase of Dark Souls-inspired skins appearing in Elden Ring Nightreign alongside their original counterparts. These visual transformations unlock after defeating Nightreign's final boss, offering striking new appearances for Nightfarers.

The nostalgic armor sets primarily reference iconic NPCs and equipment across Dark Souls history, serving as both tribute and testament to Elden Ring's Soulsborne lineage. BonfireVN's analysis reveals fascinating details in FromSoftware's homage implementation.

The Sunlight Knight Outfit provides an unmistakable callback to Solaire of Astora from Dark Souls. Similarly clear is the Catarina Outfit referencing Siegmeyer's distinctive Onion Knight armor.

More nuanced references emerge in designs like the Wraith Outfit, demonstrating Darkwraith aesthetic evolution across Souls titles. The Sellsword attire surprisingly channels Dark Souls 2's Chancellor Wellager - a deeper cut than expected.

While expected inclusions like Firekeeper-inspired gear appear, subtler choices like the Heretic Sorcerer Outfit's nod to Dark Witch Karla demonstrate FromSoftware's thoughtful curation. These references often require keen observation to appreciate fully.
