How to play Ironeye in Elden Ring Nightreign

By Daniel Hidalgo | 2025-06-01 16:25:01
Ironeye is one of the eight playable Nightfarer classes in Elden Ring Nightreign, offering a unique ranged combat playstyle that focuses on precision, support, and high burst damage. Unlike spellcasters, Ironeye relies on archery and tactical abilities, making him an excellent choice for players who prefer long-to-mid-range engagements without the complexity of magic.
This guide will cover Ironeye’s abilities, best relics, weapons, talismans, and expert tips to maximize his potential in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Ironeye’s Abilities and Playstyle


Ironeye excels at sustained damage and team support, with abilities that enhance item drops, weaken enemies, and deliver devastating single-target attacks.

Passive Ability: Eagle Eye


  • Increases item discovery, allowing Ironeye to loot more equipment from defeated enemies.
  • Essential for farming rare gear in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Character Skill: Marking


  • A dash attack that applies a temporary weak point on enemies.
  • Hitting the Mark deals +10% damage and can stagger foes.
  • Includes invincibility frames (i-frames), making it useful for dodging attacks while countering.

Ultimate Ability: Single Shot


  • Fires a high-damage, armor-piercing arrow that ignores defenses.
  • Acts as a hitscan attack, meaning it lands instantly with no travel time.
  • Grants brief invincibility during the animation, allowing for clutch dodges.

Gameplay Strategy


  • Stay at mid-range to maintain accuracy while avoiding enemy attacks.
  • Use Marking before Single Shot for maximum damage.
  • Prioritize reviving allies from a safe distance using ranged attacks.

Best Relics for Ironeye in Elden Ring Nightreign


Relics enhance Ironeye’s damage, utility, and survivability. Look for these optimal effects:
  • Increased Attack Power (Primary focus)
  • Extra Character Skill Charge (More Marking opportunities)
  • Extended Mark Duration (Longer weak point exposure)
  • Poison on Ultimate (Adds DoT to Single Shot)
  • Bonus Runes for Team (Faster progression)
  • Stamina & Physical Attack Boost (Better mobility and DPS)

Best Weapons for Ironeye


Since Ironeye is a ranged specialist, bows are his best weapons. Avoid Greatbows due to their slow speed and high Strength requirements.

Top Bow Recommendations:


  • Serpent Bow (Epic) – High damage with poison effects.
  • Black Bow (Epic) – Fast firing rate with excellent Dexterity scaling.

Ideal Weapon Passives:


  • Enhanced Ranged Attacks (More bow damage)
  • Increased Damage When Two-Handing (Stronger charged shots)
  • Better Item Discovery (Stacks with Eagle Eye)
  • Reduced Enemy Aggro (Stay safer in fights)


Pro Tip: Equip multiple bows with different status effects (poison, bleed) to exploit enemy weaknesses.

Best Talismans for Ironeye


Talismans further optimize Ironeye’s damage, survivability, and utility:


  • Arrow’s Reach Talisman (Longer range)
  • Arrow’s Sting Talisman (Increased arrow damage)
  • Blessed Dew Talisman (Passive HP regeneration)
  • Green Turtle Talisman (Faster stamina recovery)
  • Milicent’s Prosthesis (Boosts Dexterity & attack power)
  • Ritual Sword Talisman (More damage at full HP)

Advanced Tips & Tricks for Ironeye


  • Mark Before Ultimate – Always use Marking before Single Shot for +10% damage.
  • Revive Allies Safely – Use ranged attacks to resurrect teammates without entering danger zones.
  • Manual Aim for Weak Spots – Some enemies have critical spots (like troll heads) that stagger when hit.
  • Combo with Duchess’ Ultimate – If a teammate plays Duchess, chain Single Shot with her Ultimate for massive burst damage.
  • Exploit Enemy Weaknesses – Carry multiple bows with different status effects to adapt to any fight.
  • Final Thoughts: Is Ironeye Right for You?


    Ironeye is perfect for players who enjoy:
    Ranged combat without heavy magic reliance.
    Supportive playstyles with high burst damage.
    Tactical positioning and precision aiming.


    With strong item farming, team utility, and high damage potential, mastering Ironeye can make Elden Ring Nightreign an even more rewarding experience.
