Key Features of Elden Ring Items Landmarks
Elemental Indicators: Each landmark icon often carries an elemental symbol (fire, lightning, magic, etc.) signaling the dominant element of rewards found there, helping players choose runs that fit their build.

Reward Orbs: Defeating a landmark’s boss drops orbs, color-coded by rarity—common, rare, or legendary—which grant access to specific gear or upgrades.

Party Coordination: In multiplayer, you can mark landmarks to coordinate routes and objectives, critical for teamwork under time pressure.

Post-Boss Sites of Grace: These appear after clearing the boss, letting you rest, upgrade, or fast travel within the current day.

The Landmark Types: Overview and Functions
Nightreign features 11 main landmark types, each with unique challenges and rewards. Their exact location and availability vary each expedition, but their characteristics remain consistent.

1. Castles
The most formidable locations with tough bosses and rare, powerful loot.

Castles are central to map progression and often gatekeep access to subsequent areas.

Recommended for experienced players or well-prepared teams.

2. Great Churches
More common than Castles, Great Churches offer easier bosses.

Key source of Sacred Flasks upgrades—crucial for survival and healing.

Early-game priority targets to Elden Ring Runes boost your sustain.
