Gaping Jaws has undoubtedly been probably the most spectacular of the fights thus far, offering each an amazing problem and dazzling spectacle. Darkdrift Knight, however, was a take a look at of endurance and power, whereas most not too long ago, the Everdark Sentient Pest gives a combat that’s enjoyable to be part of, however not significantly exhausting.
That’s excellent news for these of you studying this information. If you happen to’re not fairly certain methods to deal with the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest, they’re luckily a breeze to take down as soon as you already know precisely what to do. On that be aware, right here’s methods to beat the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest in Nightreign.
How you can beat Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest in Nightreign
The Everdark Sovereign model of Sentient Pest (often known as Gnoster, Knowledge of Night time) is a little bit of a ache in Nightreign. You’ve this enormous, tanky scorpion and this flying Poison-inflicting moth, that means you need each sturdy melee and ranged characters. Then the pair merge collectively and start conjuring magic laser beams throughout the world which can be virtually assured to down gamers… It’s all a really fairly nightmare.
That mentioned, Sentient Pest’s new, enhanced combat doesn’t truly really feel as difficult as you may’ve anticipated, particularly in case you’re effectively ready. The combat, as per regular, begins with the second section, and with a fiery weapon at hand, you may attain the third section comparatively rapidly and never fear about these magic laser beams.
To problem this boss, open your Expeditions menu through the Roundtable and choose the purple model of Sentient Pest from the very backside of the Goal listing (proven above).
If they don’t seem to be obtainable for you, this implies you need to defeat the unique model of the Sentient Pest first earlier than their Everdark model turns into obtainable.
Listed here are some issues to notice earlier than setting off on this Expedition:
- The combat begins with the Sentient Pest’s second section, so each Gnoster and his scorpion counterpart, Faurtis Stoneshield, will likely be connected to at least one one other. They’ll additionally dish out magical pillars/beams that can stagger you, and also you wish to keep away from these as finest as you may.
- Sentient Pest stays weak to Fireplace, and I’d argue they’re extra vulnerable to Fireplace Harm throughout this combat than their authentic combat, so make sure to deliver alongside a Fireplace weapon the place you may.
- Gnoster (the moth) is proof against Magic, Lightning, Holy, Insanity, Poison, and Sleep. Faurtis (the scorpion) is proof against Slash, Customary, Magic, Lightning, Holy, and Insanity. Consequently, you ideally wish to deliver alongside weapons that deal Pierce, Strike, Fireplace, Frostbite, Scarlet Rot, or Bleed Harm.
- Raider and Ironeye are nice for this boss. Raider may be very tanky and hard-hitting, and with a fiery Colossal Weapon or in my occasion, a Mace, he can deplete Faurtir’s HP with ease. Ironeye is nice to have for preventing Gnoster, who typically flies across the area, and I extremely advocate bringing not less than one ranged participant into this combat. Melee gamers – particularly Raiders – ought to simply be capable of poise-break the moth and assault it at any time when it’s close to the bottom.
- Choose up and devour any Neutralising Boluses in Limveld. Gnoster dishes out Poison injury at occasions, and having Poison Resistance will enable you negate this massively so you may maintain preventing.
- Search for passive results and traits that present Bodily Harm Negation and Magic Harm Negation, as that is the injury kind that the Sentient Pest primarily offers.
- Intention for Degree 13 or above and improve your weapons. Everdark fights are harder than your common combat, subsequently you ought to be harder too. Purple-rarity weapons and being Degree 13 or increased are one factor that make this combat breezy.
As we’ve simply talked about, the combat begins with Sentient Pest’s second section, so their strikes throughout the first portion of the combat shouldn’t be stunning to you. If you happen to want any assist with that in any respect, check out our Sentient Pest boss information for his or her authentic combat.
This specific combat additionally options two separate well being bars. So, the Sentient Pest received’t transition at half-HP like prior Everdark Sovereign fights towards Gaping Jaws and Darkdrift Knight. As an alternative, the Everdark Sentient Pest’s third section begins as soon as its preliminary well being bar is totally depleted.
As soon as the third section begins, there’ll be a brief pause right here earlier than Animus, Ascendant Mild – a crimson, spectral butterfly-like creature – seems. This creature revives each Faurtis Stoneshield and Gnoster to roughly 25% of their HP earlier than usually avoiding you and your staff, however don’t panic: Faurtis and Gnoster will use their first section strikes right here. Nothing new or scary!
Now, what you could do right here is choose an enemy and combat them collectively. Faurtis Stoneshield (the scorpion) is extra troubling, so I like to recommend your entire staff preventing him first. When you deplete his HP, Animus will fly over and start sacrificing his HP to take over Faurtis’ corpse; that is your alternative to assault Animus.
As soon as Animus then utterly possesses Faurtis, you wish to combat Faurtis once more and rapidly. He’ll glow crimson this time, and alongside his regular assaults, he’ll cease on both facet of his physique, unleashing crimson shockwaves by means of the bottom that you simply wish to roll away from. He’s additionally able to unleashing a roar earlier than charging across the area, leaving crimson shockwaves in his path.
If you happen to don’t kill Faurtis fast sufficient, Animus will make your life considerably tougher by reappearing to combat you himself, and this time, he’ll conjure these terrible laser beams from Sentient Pest’s second section that all of us hate. Not solely that, however they’ll be greater and all of the extra brutal. You wish to keep away from this the place attainable.
As soon as Faurtis has been felled (once more!), Animus will reappear. I like to recommend operating over to Gnoster and rapidly felling them subsequent, and similar to Faurtis, Animus will fly over and sacrifice a few of its HP to own the magical moth. Whereas Animus does that, be sure to make use of this window of alternative to assault it.
As soon as Gnoster has been possessed, you then wish to concentrate on killing it as rapidly as attainable, as doing so will possible finish the combat. If you happen to don’t kill it rapidly, Animus can reappear and start attacking you itself. Gnoster’s new strikes are primarily enhanced variations of his present moveset: anticipate extra projectiles, extra seize assaults, extra clouds of poison, and extra magic rain. These are nonetheless simply averted by dodging, nevertheless.
Killing Gnoster now will possible finish the combat, offered Animus has taken sufficient injury. If not, you’ll need to assault Animus to finish the combat – which shouldn’t take a lot – or as soon as once more, assault whichever creature it subsequent possesses. Eventually, the boss will likely be felled from the injury you do, or the injury it does to itself by possessing each Gnoster and Faurtis.
Upon efficiently beating the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest, you’ll be rewarded with 25 Sovereign Sigils to spend on outfits, Shifting Earth occasions, or new Relics, together with the brand new Darkish Night time of the Smart Relic which is nice for Revenant and Duchess followers.

ONGBAL additionally takes a really totally different method to this combat when taking part in solo. You’ll discover that in Sentient Pest’s third section, fairly than preventing Gnoster or Faurtis, he kites them till there’s a possibility to assault Animus. He solely assaults Animus throughout this portion of the combat, and effectively, as soon as Animus’ HP is depleted, the combat is over. That is another option to go in regards to the combat, and might be the best way you wish to go about this combat if taking up the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest solo.
