Elden Ring Nightreign has multiple expeditions that players can access and try out with their friends or even go solo. During these expeditions, players will find different types of items that act as consumables, upgrade materials, or a Stonesword Key. All of these items go into the inventory, but players can only carry four at a time. Given how important these items are, especially during boss encounters, having more item slots quickly becomes a necessity.
7 Most Ambitious Games By FromSoftware, Ranked
FromSoftware has been the source of some truly groundbreaking games, but these particular examples are arguably the most ambitious.
However, to acquire more item slots, you will need to locate and collect Item Pouches. This guide offers detailed information on how Item Pouches work and where you can find them in Elden Ring Nightreign to help you prepare better for tougher encounters.
How To Increase Item Slots in Elden Ring Nightreign
To increase your Item Slots, you will need Item Pouches, and the only method to acquire these is by purchasing them from a Ghostly Merchant. Each Item Pouch costs 5,000 Runes, so you will need to defeat enemies throughout the Limveld region and refrain from using those Runes for leveling up to save enough for the pouch. All Ghostly Merchants share the same inventory of general items; however, in Online Multiplayer, each player may encounter different armaments available for purchase.
Considering that you might also need to buy other essential items from these merchants, you always have the option to purchase the Item Pouch later, either after progressing further or on your second day of the expedition.
Where To Find Merchants in Elden Ring Nightreign
The locations of merchants are largely randomized during each expedition, but certain areas have a significantly higher chance of hosting one nearby. Forts, Townships, and Castles are typically your best options when it comes to locating them. If a bridge is situated next to a fort, the merchant can often be found beneath it, always positioned beside a smithing table. This table allows you to upgrade all your weapons, provided you have the required Smithing Stones in your inventory.
Merchants remain in the same location for the entire duration of the expedition, so you can always return to them later. Be sure to mark their location by pinging them on your map to avoid forgetting where they are.
In addition to this, if you and the other Nightfarers manage to complete the second day and defeat the Nightboss, you will gain access to the Spirit Shelter. This area contains the final merchant of the expedition, and it serves as your last opportunity to upgrade weapons or purchase consumables before confronting the Nightlord.
