How to unlock the Scholar and Undertaker in Nightreign

Unlocking the Undertaker and Scholar in the Nightreign DLC is straightforward, though the process isn’t immediately obvious. You’ll need to complete a few steps to gain access to these new characters, but it shouldn’t take long once you know what to do. Here’s a guide on how to unlock and play as both the Scholar and Undertaker!

How to unlock the Scholar and Undertaker Nightreign

Here’s how to unlock the Scholar and Undertaker characters in Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows DLC:

Ensure you have The Forsaken Hollows DLC downloaded and installed.
When you load into the Roundtable hub area, The Iron Menial will immediately be there to tell you that the Small Jar Merchant is agitated by something.
Go to the Small Jar Bazaar and the Merchant will indicate a door next to them.
Go through the door and you’ll be transported to a boss arena with the Dreglord.

This is an unwinnable boss fight, and the Dreglord will probably kill you in a single hit. So don’t worry about actual succeeding.
You’ll respawn back at the Roundtable. Go back to the door next to the Small Jar Bazaar, which will now be open.
Inside is a Chapel area with two NPCs – the Scholar and the Undertaker. Speak to them both and they’ll be unlocked as characters!
From this point on, you can pick either of them as normal from the Character Selection menu.

These two Elden Ring Nightreign characters play very differently. The Scholar focuses on using items and quick Thrusting Swords to help allies, while the Undertaker is a powerful, close-combat fighter who uses hammers to overwhelm enemies. It’s a good idea to try them both out in the Sparring Grounds so you understand how they work before you start your adventure.
