Exploring the Hidden Faces Behind Elden Ring Nightreign's Character Masks

Author:Kristen Update:Aug 04,2025

Have you ever wondered about the intricate helmets and attire of Elden Ring Nightreign's Nightfarers? A YouTuber has peeled back the layers to reveal the fascinating details concealed beneath the game's character designs.

On June 5, YouTuber Zullie the Witch shared an in-depth look at the faces of Nightreign's characters. Each model boasts unique features, with some surprising elements hidden beneath their exteriors.

Some discoveries are subtle, like Ironeye's fully modeled face visible from the front. Zullie points out that the Nightfarers' eye colors vary based on their skin tones. Certain characters also share intriguing connections to other FromSoftware titles, such as the Duchess resembling Dark Souls 3's Firekeeper.

Unveiling the faces of characters like Ironeye or Executor is intriguing, but the burning question is whether the avian Guardian is truly a bird or hides a human face. The answer? It's indeed a bird. Meanwhile, the Revenant conceals a skull beneath her delicate exterior, offering surprises for players yet to encounter these details in-game.

While these findings don't unlock major lore revelations, they add depth to the Nightfarers' personalities and highlight FromSoftware's meticulous craftsmanship, even in details most players might overlook.

One curious exception is Wylder, who lacks a face model entirely. This could be a stylistic choice, but it sparks speculation about a deeper narrative reason for his enigmatic presence.
