Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the mysterious masks and heavy armor of *Elden Ring: Nightreign*'s enigmatic Nightfarers? Thanks to a recent deep dive by YouTuber Zullie the Witch, we now have a clearer look at the hidden details behind these intriguing characters.
On June 5, Zullie shared a revealing video that peels back the layers of *Nightreign*'s cast, showcasing the unique character models hidden beneath their elaborate disguises. While some discoveries are simply charming curiosities—like Ironeye's fully modeled face from the front—others offer subtle nods to FromSoftware’s rich history. For example, the Duchess bears a striking resemblance to Dark Souls 3’s Firekeeper, delighting fans of the studio’s past titles.
One of the more satisfying reveals involves the avian Guardian—yes, he really is a bird under that mask. Meanwhile, the Revenant hides something far more eerie: a skeletal visage beneath her porcelain mask, adding another layer of mystery to her already haunting presence.
Most of these facial designs enhance the individuality of each Nightfarer, proving that FromSoftware continues to pour incredible detail into every corner of its worlds—even in places most players might never see up close. However, one peculiar oddity remains: Wylder appears to have no discernible face model at all. Whether this is an intentional design choice or hints at deeper lore remains to be seen, but it certainly adds to his mystique.
