In this part of the video, the presenter, Firespark81, explains how to obtain the Night Maiden’s Mist and Night Shard spells in Elden Ring. The quest begins at a specific shack, which can be approached from two different grace points. The route involves navigating through a swamp on horseback while avoiding explosions. Upon reaching the shack, players must defeat a dog and speak to an NPC inside until his dialogue is exhausted. Afterward, players prepare to fight a boss who summons skeleton archers. The presenter suggests using ranged attacks, staying mobile to avoid explosions, and kiting the boss to a safer area near the site of grace to make the battle easier. The boss is described as relatively slow and manageable with these tactics.

In this segment of the video, the player receives a weapon and a gold needle from an NPC. They return to a shack to give the needle to another character. After exhausting the dialogue, they head to a site of grace to rest, taking care to avoid enemies. They then defeat a dog, obtain the repaired needle, and proceed to a church. There, they give the needle to a lady, exhaust her dialogue, and warp back to the original area. Finally, they return to the NPC at the shack to access the study sorcery option.

In this segment, the focus is on purchasing the Night Shard and Night Maiden’s Mist spells, followed by an analysis of their effects. The Night Shard costs seven mana to cast and is similar to the Swift Glenstone Shard but deals a different type of damage and possibly penetrates shields better. The Night Maiden’s Mist creates a damaging mist that lingers on the ground, significantly harming enemies that remain within it. The strategy involves placing the mist and maneuvering to keep the enemy within its range without stepping into it yourself. The video demonstrates the Night Shard’s speed and relatively lower damage compared to other spells and highlights the substantial continuous damage dealt by the Night Maiden’s Mist, making it highly effective against slower targets. Practical tests show the Night Maiden’s Mist causing 1560 damage by the end of its duration. The segment concludes with a note on the casting range in comparison to other spells like Roiling Magma and a reference to another video for obtaining the spell.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses the mechanics and strategies for using a particular spell in a game. They explain that unlike the roiling magma spell, which disappears if it doesn’t hit the ground, this spell creates a damaging mist if it doesn’t hit the ground, making it effective for attacking from a distance. The spell is particularly useful against large, slow-moving bosses because it can cause significant damage without requiring the player to get close, thereby avoiding potentially lethal attacks. The video also highlights that charging the spell increases its effectiveness but advises caution since the mist can also harm the player.
