While previously, Nightreign's ongoing challenging endgame contented has been constricted to much hard bosses, Deep of Night volition interaction an full run, from commencement to finish.

For one, enemies volition conscionable beryllium stronger than mean crossed the board. You besides won't get a heads up astir which Nightlord you'll beryllium fighting, nor volition you cognize if you're getting a Shifting Earth lawsuit successful advance, truthful you won't beryllium capable to prep a physique for immoderate circumstantial benignant of run.
