Fastest Ways to Get Sovereign Sigils in Elden Ring: Nightreign (Patch 1.01.3)

Sovereign Sigils are the new high-value currency introduced in Elden Ring: Nightreign Patch 1.01.3, and they’re your ticket to unlocking powerful endgame content. Earned by defeating Everdark Sovereigns—extremely dangerous versions of the Nightlords—these Sigils let you buy exclusive Relics, trigger Shifting Earth events, and unlock cosmetic and gameplay upgrades that aren't available anywhere else.

In this guide, we’ll show you the fastest ways to earn Sovereign Sigils, break down optimal boss strategies, and help you spend them wisely so you can dominate the endgame.


What Are Sovereign Sigils?

  • Earned by: Defeating Everdark Sovereigns (empowered Nightlord bosses with new mechanics).

  • First Kill Reward: 25 Sovereign Sigils (per unique Sovereign).

  • Repeat Kills: 5 Sigils each run.

Uses for Sovereign Sigils:

  • Purchase exclusive Relics (e.g., Dark Night of the Baron).

  • Trigger Shifting Earth events to gain map-wide buffs (1 Sigil per use).

  • Unlock cosmetics and Vessels (changes Relic aesthetics and synergy).


Fastest Ways to Farm Sovereign Sigils

1. Prioritize Weekly Everdark Sovereigns

Each week features a different Everdark boss:

  • June 19–26: Adel, Baron of Night (Gaping Jaw)

  • June 26–July 3: Fulghor, the Stormy Knight

  • July 3–10: Gnoster, the Insect Duo

Pro Tip: Always go for the first-clear reward on new Sovereigns—you'll get 25 Sigils instead of the repeat 5.

2. Build Optimization for Everdark Fights

Best Classes vs. Gaping Jaw (Adel)
  • Wylder / Raider: High burst damage; use Anti-Dragon Grease from the Pinnacle.

  • Recluse: Apply Poison DoT early in Phase 1 (Gaping Jaw is vulnerable).

  • Guardian: Tank and crowd control; supports team during tornado phase.

Key Relics to Equip:
  • Sentient Pest Relic: Adds poison buildup to weapons.

  • Grand Tranquil Stone: Rally mechanic keeps you alive during close-range trades.

3. Speedrun Tactics for Repeats

  • Ignore Optional Mobs: Rush directly to the boss arena.

  • Co-op Meta: Pair Wylder (burst), Recluse (poison), and Ironeye (mark weak points).

  • Shifting Earth Buffs: Spend 1 Sigil to activate Mountaintop for Anti-Dragon damage, making Gaping Jaw fights much easier.


Best Ways to Spend Sovereign Sigils

High Priority

  • Dark Night of the Baron (12 Sigils): Best-in-slot Relic for critical-heavy builds.

  • Vessels (4 Sigils): Customize your Relics and unlock hidden passive synergies.

  • Shifting Earth Events (1 Sigil each): Activate powerful buffs (e.g., Rotten Woods for DoT builds).

Low Priority

  • Cosmetic Skins: Save these for later; they’re the same as Murk-priced skins.

  • Random Relics (5 Sigils): Skip these unless you’re already maxed out on essentials.


Common Pitfalls (and Fixes)

  • "Why am I only getting 5 Sigils?"

    • You’ve already defeated that Everdark Sovereign. Wait for next week’s rotation to earn another 25.

  • "I keep dying during the tornado phase!"

    • Use Spiritspring jumps to close distance. Stay inside boss range to avoid being cut off by the vortex.


What’s Coming Next?

FromSoftware has confirmed new Everdark Sovereigns like Tricephalos, Augur, and Fissure in the Fog are on the way—each with new first-clear Sigils and exclusive rewards.

Players are also hoping for:

  • Increased Sigil rewards per repeat kill.

  • DLSS/FSR updates to improve PC stability during boss events.


Final Verdict

If you're aiming to stockpile Sovereign Sigils fast:

  1. Prioritize weekly first clears for maximum reward.

  2. Speedrun repeat kills using co-op builds and buffed events.

  3. Spend wisely on impactful Relics, not cosmetics.

Get your team together, buff up, and face the Everdark. Your build—and your fashion—will thank you.
