Who is the Scholar in ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN?

The Scholar is one of the two Nightfarer playable classes introduced with Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows DLC. Described as an academic who walks the Lands Between, he hails from the Academy of Raya Lucaria (Hierodas) and uses battlefield observation to gain advantages. His kit centers on information and support: Bagcraft (passive) lets you carry and upgrade consumables, Analyse (skill) lets you study enemies to gain combat insights, and Communion (Ultimate Art) threads enemies to share damage and can heal allies. This design makes him a strategic support that benefits from observing foes and coordinating with teammates. For a definitive role description, see the official Scholar entry from Bandai Namco Europe and the Nightreign character overview. Bandai Namco Europe – Scholar Elden Ring Nightreign Wiki – Scholar.

To unlock the Scholar, players must own Forsaken Hollows and complete the Tricephalos expedition (Gladius, Beast of Night). After the cutscene that follows, return to Roundtable Hold, enter the door near the Small Jar Merchant, and speak with the Scholar to recruit him as a Nightfarer.
