How To Get Holy Weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign

By Daniel Hidalgo | 2025-06-04 08:36:42
Elden Ring Nightreign introduces challenging expeditions where the right weapons can make all the difference. Unlike many bosses in the base game, some of Nightreign’s toughest foes are weak to Holy damage, making sacred armaments a top priority.
In this guide, we’ll cover:
  • Which Nightreign bosses are weak to Holy damage
  • How to locate Holy weapons on the map
  • How to start an expedition with a Holy weapon

By the end, you’ll know exactly where to find these powerful tools and how to maximize their effectiveness against Nightreign’s deadliest enemies.

Why Holy Damage Matters in Elden Ring Nightreign


Two major expeditions in Nightreign feature bosses with a significant weakness to Holy damage:
  • Tricephalus Expedition – The first major boss is highly vulnerable to Holy attacks, making sacred weapons extremely effective.
  • Night Aspect Expedition – The final boss (and the game’s ultimate challenge) is also weak to Holy damage, so bringing the right gear is crucial.

  • If you’re tackling these expeditions, prioritizing Holy weapons will give you a major advantage.

    How to Find Holy Weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign


    Thankfully, Nightreign’s map provides clues to locate Holy weapons—but you’ll need to pay close attention.

    1. Look for the Holy Damage Symbol on the Map


    • The game marks weapon locations with damage-type icons.
    • The Holy symbol (shown below) indicates where you can find sacred weapons.
    • Be careful—the Lightning damage icon looks similar, so inspect closely.

    2. Search for Sacred Seals (For Spellcasters)


    • If you’re a magic-focused build, Sacred Seals can grant access to Holy damage spells.
    • While not as reliable as weapon symbols, checking the detailed map view may reveal Seals with Holy-based incantations.

    3. Prioritize Holy Weapon Locations Before Boss Fights


    • Since Tricephalus and Night Aspect’s final boss are weak to Holy damage, seek out these weapons early in your run.
    • If the map doesn’t show any Holy symbols, consider rerolling the expedition for better loot chances.

    How to Start an Expedition with a Holy Weapon


    If you want to guarantee a Holy weapon at the start of a run, you’ll need the right Relic.


    • Some Relics change your starting weapon’s damage type to Holy.
    • This works for most classes—except the Recluse, since her staff’s damage depends on spells.

    Best Relics for Holy Damage Builds


    • Sanctified Blade Relic – Converts melee weapons to Holy damage.
    • Blessed Arsenal Relic – Grants a Holy-infused weapon at the start.


    If you’re lucky enough to obtain one of these, you can begin every expedition with a Holy weapon, giving you an immediate edge against Nightreign’s toughest foes.

    Final Tips for Maximizing Holy Damage


    • Upgrade Holy weapons whenever possible—higher scaling means more damage.
    • Pair with Faith-boosting gear to increase Holy damage output.
    • Use Holy Grease or spells to buff non-Holy weapons temporarily.


    By following these strategies, you’ll be well-prepared to conquer Nightreign’s most dangerous expeditions with ease.
