🎮 How to Unlock All Characters in Nightreign – Full Nightfarer Roster Explained

“So you picked Wylder and thought that’s it? Buddy, you’ve barely scratched the crypt door. Let’s unlock all eight Nightfarers the right way.”

🧭 Full Class List – All 8 Nightfarers Explained

In Nightreign, there are 8 playable classes, with 6 available from the start and 2 hidden classes that require unlocking via special quests.

🎮 Here’s a quick rundown:

Wylder – A balanced all-rounder and beginner-friendly explorer
Guardian – Tank/support hybrid with high block and crowd control
Ironeye – Ranged DPS, master of bows and stealth tactics
Raider – Berserker-style melee with big damage and big risk
Recluse – Elemental magic user with explosive area spells
Executor – Precision-based parry & counterattack expert

🔒 Unlockable hidden classes:

Duchess – Agile assassin who specializes in stealth, evasion, and burst damage (Unlocked via Tricephalos quest)
Revenant – Soul-summoner support role with revive and ghost ally mechanics (Unlock Duchess first, then complete Revenant storyline)

🗝️ How to Unlock Duchess – The Blade that Dances

If you like high-dex, blink-dash builds with flair, you’re gonna love this one.

🔥 What You Need to Do:

Finish the Tricephalos Expedition – This is part of the main storyline. Defeat the boss Gladius.
Grab the “Old Pocketwatch” – You’ll find it on an altar after the Gladius fight.
Return to Roundtable Hold – Talk to the white-robed Priestess and hand her the pocketwatch.
Watch the Cutscene – Boom! Duchess unlocked. No map markers, no journal hints. You’re welcome.

🎯 Pro Tip: The Duchess plays best with light weapons and timing-based dodges. Don’t try to tank with her, you’ll cry.

👻 How to Unlock Revenant – Master of Spirits

Revenant is a soul-bending class with spooky summons and the best team utility in the game. Yes, better than Ironeye’s smoke bombs.

🔓 Steps to Unlock:

Unlock Duchess First – Yep, she’s a prerequisite. Lore reasons… probably.
Buy the “Besmirched Frame” – Go to the Small Jar Bazaar in Roundtable Hold. Costs 1,500 Murk.
Find the Ghost in the East Wing – After buying the item, a ghost NPC appears near a wall painting.
Interact and Get Teleported – You’re headed to Limveld, a spooky ruin with a brutal boss fight.
Defeat “Night Idol” + Her Ghost Trio – Beat the boss and her minions (Helen, Frederick, Sebastian).
Return to Hold → Revenant Unlocked – And just like that, you now command the dead.

🎯 Pro Tip: Use Revenant in co-op for max value. Her summon-heal-resurrect combo turns failing runs into team victories.

⚔️ Starter Classes – Use Them Before You Judge Them

Don't sleep on the base classes. They’re solid, especially early-game. Here’s how I rank them (subjective, sue me):

Ironeye – Best for exploring and scouting.
Executor – Once you nail the parry window? Chef’s kiss.
Recluse – Big flashy magic if you don’t mind charge-up times.
Raider – High risk, high damage. Great for speedrunners.
Guardian – Team tank. Might be slow, but boy, does she block everything.

Wylder is your “jack-of-all,” but let’s be real—once you unlock Duchess, there’s no going back.

🧠 Final Thoughts – Is It Worth Unlocking All?

Yes.
And not just for the bragging rights (though those are nice).

Duchess and Revenant completely change your combat style, open up new builds, and bring unique co-op synergies. Plus, Revenant’s passive ghost summon is just so damn cool.
