The director of Elden Ring Nightreign has beaten all the bosses and has a message for players: “It’s very possible”
The director has soloed every boss, proving it’s very possible for players too.
The challenge of playing Elden Ring Nightreign solo has been a hot-button issue since the game’s launch, but director Junya Ishizaki has confirmed that solo clears are absolutely doable. In a recent interview, Ishizaki revealed that he has beaten every boss in the game, including the final Nightlord, and wants players to know that it’s very possible to do the same.
A Message of Encouragement
Speaking to CNET, Ishizaki reassured players struggling with the game’s difficulty, saying:
“I have beaten all of the game’s bosses. I’ve seen everything it has to offer, both in multiplayer and as a solo player. So I want you and players to know that this is very possible, and I want you to have the confidence to give it a try yourself.”
Notably, Ishizaki completed his solo runs without using relics, making his achievement even more impressive. His message serves as encouragement for players who feel overwhelmed by Nightreign’s brutal difficulty.
Solo Play vs. Multiplayer—Is It Really Possible?
While Nightreign was designed with co-op play in mind, Ishizaki’s solo clears prove that single-player runs are viable. However, solo players face unique challenges:
- No automatic revival – Unlike co-op, solo players don’t get a second chance if they fall.
- Lower rune rewards – Progression is slower, making upgrades harder to obtain.
- Nightlords are relentless – Bosses are designed to pressure players constantly, making solo fights intense.
Despite these hurdles, Ishizaki’s success shows that with the right strategy, patience, and skill, solo victories are achievable.
Junya Ishizaki’s achievement is a testament to skill, strategy, and sheer determination. While Elden Ring Nightreign now offers revives and better rune rewards for solo players, his pre-patch clears remain an impressive feat in the game’s history.
