Everything you need to know about the best Duchess build for the Enhanced Sentient Pest (Everdark Sovereign) in Elden Ring Nightreign.
Duchess isn’t the ideal choice for the Enhanced Nightlords, especially for the Enhanced Sentient Pest. Not only does the Duchess have lower HP than most Nightfarers, but she is also mostly limited to melee weapons. Considering the Sentient Pest is a long endurance fight, you might think picking Duchess would be a disadvantage.
And while you might be right to think so, Duchess is also one of the most powerful Nightfarers in Elden Ring Nightreign when it comes to DPS. With herRestageability and excellentArcanescaling, Duchess can deal massive amounts of damage in very short bursts. If used correctly, she can be an incredibly useful Nightfarer against all Nightlords, including the Enhanced Sentient Pest.
However, much like theRevenant, the Duchess’s effectiveness heavily depends on the Relics you equip on her. Here’s a comprehensive guide on the best Duchess build for the Enhanced Sentient Pest in Elden Ring Nightreign.
Overview of the Best Duchess Build for Enhanced Sentient Pest in Elden Ring Nightreign
For our Duchess build, we focused primarily on boosting her elemental damage andsurvivability. Although Duchess has access to what is arguably the bestdodgeroll in the entire game, she is still prone to damage. Much like Recluse, Ironeye, and even the Revenant, Duchess is extremely squishy. Combine that with the fact that Gnoster tends to attack using multi-hit AOEs and stomps, and it becomes quite difficult for Duchess to survive.
However, withAugur’sRelic, we’ve tried to mitigate the chances of Duchess getting one-shot by Gnoster’s attacks. Furthermore, for the element, we choseFire, which is the biggest weakness of the Sentient Pest.
Additionally, we have invested extraArcaneto further boost Fire damage. Lastly, we have also usedClaigo’sRelic to give Duchess access toFrost. With this build, you will essentially have access to both Fire and Frost damage. Although you cannot stack both Fire and Frost damage types, you can use them for their bonus DPS. Furthermore, Frost works incredibly well againstAnimus.
You can also make Frost work much faster withDuchess’Restage skill. If you prefer, you can substitute Caligo’s Relic with something that decreases the cooldown for Duchess’s Character Skill.

Additional Notes
While we have used Frost in this build, you’re able to also useBleedfor more or less the same effect. However, Bleed won’t slow down Gnoster, which is a bonus perk of Frostbite. That said, Bleed does deal more damage compared to Frost.
