Elden Ring Nightreign: How to access the training area

The Elden Ring Nightreign training area is an essential hub for players looking to sharpen their combat skills before venturing into the treacherous world of Limveld. Whether you want to experiment with new weapons, test powerful incantations, or refine your character’s abilities, this guide will show you how to access and maximize the Sparring Grounds—your ultimate preparation zone.

How to Find the Training Area in Elden Ring Nightreign


After completing the tutorial expedition, you’ll gain access to the Roundtable Hold. From there:
  • Head to the northeast section of the map.
  • Enter the Sparring Grounds, the designated training area.

    • Alternatively, you can fast-travel to the location by:
    • Opening the map (Press M on Keyboard / View Button on Xbox).
    • Selecting "Sparring Grounds" from the available destinations.

    Why the Training Area is Essential in Nightreign


    Elden Ring Nightreign blends Soulslike difficulty, roguelike elements, and survival mechanics, making mastery of combat crucial. Since expeditions in Limveld are brutally challenging, the training area allows you to:
    • Test different character builds before committing to a playstyle.
    • Experiment with weapons, sorceries, and incantations without risk.
    • Learn enemy patterns and optimize your strategies for boss fights.

    Without proper preparation, surviving three days in Limveld is nearly impossible. The Sparring Grounds ensures you’re battle-ready.

    Mastering Character Abilities in the Training Area


    To fine-tune your character’s skills, follow these steps:


  • Open the in-game map or access sparring settings (located on the east side).
  • Navigate to the Character tab and select your desired role.
  • Experiment with:

    • Passive abilities
    • Character-specific skills
    • Ultimate Arts


    • Pro Tip: To remove cooldowns and freely test abilities, change the sparring settings from "Standard" to "No Limitations."

    Testing Weapons, Sorceries, and Consumables


    The training area provides access to every weapon, spell, and item in Elden Ring Nightreign, allowing you to:


    • Compare weapon damage on training dummies.
    • Experiment with sorceries and incantations to find the best combos.
    • Test consumables (boluses, buffs) to understand their effects.


    Since loot in Limveld is RNG-based, knowing which gear suits your playstyle beforehand is a huge advantage.


    Additionally, the Equipment Section includes a detailed handbook covering:


    • Combat mechanics
    • Survival strategies
    • Advanced fighting techniques

    Final Tips for Dominating Nightreign


  • Use the training area regularly—new gear and abilities unlock as you progress.
  • Switch between characters to understand team synergies in co-op mode.
  • Practice dodging and parrying—mastery of defense is key in boss fights.


    • By leveraging the Sparring Grounds, you’ll enter Limveld fully prepared, drastically increasing your chances of survival.
