Elden Ring Nightreign players worship a new god: a Relic buff that gives a gigantic damage boost just for killing some pretty easy mini-bosses

Elden Ring Nightreign has just released its second souped-up Everdark boss fight, and for all the fearful hunkering-down among players leading up to its release, many folks were surprised to find that it's actually easier than the previous boss, Everdark Adel. I have a theory that this is at least partly because many players have adopted a new tactic that's swept the community like Nightreign's battle royale ring sweeps over the map. It all comes down to one little Relic buff, but it's a game-changer.

The Relic trait in question is this: "Attack power permanently increased for each evergaol prisoner defeated." This effect started to catch on just over a week ago. You could buy a static Relic, a yellow-type Grand Luminous Scene, with this effect from a new merchant unlocked by defeating the previous Everdark boss, and people quickly noticed just how powerful it is.
