  1. Purchase the DLC

  2. Defeat Tricephalos

    Tricephalos is the first Nightlord you can fight, he’s the Cerberus-style, three-headed, fire-breathing wolf. Once you beat him, you’ll gain access to the rest of the game’s content including the DLC.Tricephalos

  3. Speak to the Iron Menial

    The Iron Menial is a repurposed magical Marionette Soldier and the custodian of the Roundtable Hold in Nightreign. You’ll usually find him standing politely at the north end of the west wing in the Hold, opposite the Small Jar Bazaar.Speak to Iron Menial

  4. Speak to the Small Jar

    The Iron Menial will relay a message from the Small Jar, who will direct you to (finally!) open the door previously blocked by his bazaar.2 Door Next to Small Jar Bazaar

  5. Open the Door and Confront the Dreglord

    Once you open the door, you’ll immediately be teleported to a fight against the Dreglord alongside the Scholar and Undertaker. In typical Souls fashion, you will lose, but that’s okay.Fail Dreglord Fight

  6. Enter the Chapel

    After getting dregg’d across the floor, you’ll respawn back at the Roundtable Hold and can safely enter the chapel by the Small Jar Bazaar where you’ll find both the Scholar and Duchess.4.5 They're Both Inside

  7. Speak to the Nightfarers

    Speaking to each of them will unlock them as playable characters and initiate their Remembrance quests. After you speak with them both, you’ll receive a message from the heavens and unlock the new Shifting Earth, “The Great Hollows”.Golden Light Note

There are also some new Relic Rites-related goodies available for purchase from the Collector’s Signboard including some new Urns/Goblets for each Nightfarer and Deep Large Scenic Flatstone, which gives you a random Deep Grand Relic that provides 3 buffs.

The Deep Large Scenic Flatstones cost 10 Sovereign Sigils while the new Decrepit and Forgotten Goblets cost 4 Sovereign Sigils each. The Scholar and Undertaker also have their own Sealed and Soot-Covered Urns just like the other Nightfarers do.

All New Undertaker and Scholar Skins

Both the Undertaker and Nightfarer have a set of 6 costumes, which become available after defeating new Nightlords.
