Everything you need to know about the Enhanced Gaping Jaw in Elden Ring Nightreign, and how to easily defeat the newly added boss.
Elden Ring Nightreign’s post-launch has kicked off, and that too with a rather “thunderous” roar. The very first content update for the game added the new Expedition –Everdark Sovereign, which comes with an empowered version of a previous Nightlord,Gaping Jaw. The new Enhanced Gaping Jaw is not only significantly more powerful than its regular counterpart but also sports new attacks and phases.
The Nightlord has access to an entirely new phase towards the middle of the boss fight, which is bound to catch returning players off guard. In addition to that, the Enhanced Gaping Jaw is also significantly more resilient to damage (physical and affinity).
Suffice it to say that defeating the Enhanced Gaping Jaw isn’t an easy task. However, it’s not impossible to defeat the new Nightlord, as long as you’re aware of its movesets. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to overcome the Enhanced Gaping Jaw in Elden Ring Nightreign.
Overview of the Enhanced Gaping Jaw (Adel, Baron of Night) in Elden Ring Nightreign
On the surface, Enhanced Gaping Jaw is quite similar to its regular counterpart. However, once you start the boss fight, you’ll eventually notice major differences. Firstly, the enhanced variant starts the battle directly in its “enraged” state. You start the battle against the Gaping Jaw in itsphase 2state, where it is not only more resistant to damage but also has access to multipleAOE(area-of-effect) attacks.
Furthermore, once you deplete the boss’s health to roughly 70%, it will transition to its second phase. In this phase, he’s more susceptible toaffinityattacks. However, he also gains more agility and access to a new “teleportation” combo.
The Enhanced Gaping Jaw also has a third phase, where it summonstornadoeson specific parts of the arena. You’re essentially required to use aSpiritspringto enter the eye of the tornado and fight the boss in there. This phase is the trickiest since it not only restricts the available space for you to dodge the boss’s attacks but also deals passive damage if you step out of the tornado. However, there’s a way to completely bypass the tornado phase, granted you play to the boss’s weakness.
Weaknesses of Enhanced Gaping Jaw
Like the regular Gaping Jaw, the enhanced variant is extremely weak toPoison. If you’re able to constantly inflict Poison on the boss, it will not only reduce its aggression (in the first two phases) but also stop it from summoning tornadoes. You can also useFrostbiteandScarlet Rotto melt the boss’s health. However, your best bet is to use Poison.
We highly recommend using theRelicobtained from defeatingGnostor(Sentient Pest) in your build. That Relic adds Poison to your starting armament and is a great option for a loadout against the Gaping Jaw. As for Nightfarers, we highly recommend usingWylder,Raider,Ironeye, orRecluse.
You can defeat the boss usingDuchessorRevenantas well. However, given the amount of damage the boss dishes out, these classes aren’t all that effective, at least in co-op mode. For solo, you can easily defeat the boss using either Ironeye or Raider.
