How to Complete an Expedition in Elden Ring Nightreign
Each Expedition in the latest Elden Ring installment lasts for three days and two nights. You begin your campaign during the daytime of the first day, and during this period you can freely explore the Expedition area. It is important to note that daytime lasts for approximately 14 minutes in real time, following which the night creeps in.
During each night of the Expedition, you will have to defeat a Night Boss. Since there is no fixed timing associated with it, nighttime will last as long as your fight does. Afterward, Day 2 of the campaign will begin, which will follow the same pattern. Once you have defeated the second Night Boss, you will be able to challenge the respective Nightlords of the Expeditions. By exploiting the weakness of these foes, you can overcome them to obtain Trace of Night and proceed ahead.
You should note that the game requires you to gather four Trace of Nights to unlock the final Night Aspect Expedition. Once you clear the last challenge, a cutscene ensues, and the game is completed.
