In the land of Nymweed devoured by darkness, one must challenge the powerful Night King to regain the light of day. Therefore, after entering the game, we first need to choose a Nightcrosser (character). Many friends like the Hermit, so let's talk about the玩法 of the Hermit in Elden Ring: Nightfall. Since the game supports 3-player co-op, it is also necessary to pay attention to the coordination with other Nightcrossers in team battles. Let's take a look at the in-depth gameplay guide below.

I. Analysis of the Core Mechanisms of the Hermit Class
1. Spell Binding Weapon System
The logic for unlocking spells for the Hermit:
The unlocking of spells/prayers completely depends on the weapon (staff/holy seal), not memory slots.
Must-do at the beginning: Prioritize exploring the Mage Tower (blue marker on the map) → Solve the puzzle (such as smashing the phantom turtle) to obtain high-level magic tools.
Example weapons:
Sorcerer Staff: Unlocks "Sorcerer Pebble"
Golden Tree Holy Seal: Unlocks "Golden Tree Blessing"
2. Memory Hybrid Magic System
Attribute Trace Absorption:
When teammates or self-inflict Fire/Magic/Lightning/Holy damage, press (skill key) to absorb the corresponding "attribute trace."
Hybrid Magic Release:
After collecting 3 attribute traces, trigger 14 fusion spells based on attribute combinations (order does not matter).
II. Core Skills and Usage Strategies for the Hermit
1. Ultimate Skill: Crimson Butterfly Formation, which can mark enemies in an area. When teammates attack marked targets with melee, they can heal and restore mana. Use this during the boss's vulnerable phase to assist teammates in continuous output, or when the team's health is in crisis to support the tank in saving the situation.
2. Recommended Hybrid Spells to Learn
Attribute Combination | Fusion Spell | Effect | Applicable Scenario |
Lightning+Lightning+Lightning | Lightning Swift Step | Invincible frame dodge (original Houndstep) | Core survival skill for all boss fights |
Fire+Magic | Ghost Flame | Tracking ghost flame explosion (high poise break) | Clearing minions/interrupting elite monsters |
Fire+Magic+Holy | Life Hybrid Breath | Large area damage + teammate healing | Team sustain battle (e.g., against the Night King Heiosot) |
Lightning+Holy+Magic | Crushing Meteor | 12 consecutive homing magic bullets (specialized for giant bosses) | Burst output in the final phase |
III. Exploration Routes and Team Collaboration
Follow the steps in the image above. When exploring the map, pay attention to the Mage Tower icon, which is displayed as a blue tower symbol, with no monster alert zones around it.
When leaving the team, remember to communicate with your teammates in advance → Loot the two mage towers separately (return to regroup before the end of the first day).
Collecting Attribute Traces:
Teammate Class | Recommended Attribute | Hermit Action |
Berserker (Fire Damage) | Fire Attribute Trace | Follow closely and absorb, prioritize combining Fire + Devil Fire |
Holy Knight (Holy Damage) | Holy Attribute Trace | Keep Holy traces, combine three Holy for enhanced healing |
Assassin (Lightning Damage) | Lightning Attribute Trace | Call for focus, quickly get three Lightning for Lightning Swift Step |
III. Build Construction and Late-Game Transition
1. Recommended Endgame Equipment
Role | Weapon | Talisman | Core Hybrid Magic |
Burst Damage | Lusat's Glintstone Staff | Mage Block Talisman + Magic Claws | Crushing Meteor + Ghost Flame |
Support and Sustain | Golden Tree Holy Seal | Graceful Dewdrop Talisman + Sacrificial Sword | Life Hybrid Breath + Crimson Butterfly Formation |
2. Ultimate Technique: Solo Play Style
Setup: Lightning Swift Step (dodge) + Summon Spirit (off-hand output) + Crushing Meteor (burst)
Action: Use Lightning Swift Step to get close to the boss → Use spirits to reduce poise → Rapidly fire meteors (retreat before focus is depleted)
However, it is essential to maintain a stable network connection during operation. If there is lag, it will be difficult to execute combos. As a Souls-like game, the release of skills and the feel of the controls are very important mechanisms. Therefore, it is recommended to open biubiu Accelerator before starting the game to ensure smooth online play without lag. Maintain a delay of less than 50ms for a smooth experience whether you're playing solo or in a team.

In summary, how to play the Hermit in Elden Ring: Nightfall, everyone should have learned now. "The dignity of a mage lies in foresight — predicting the movements of teammates, predicting the boss's attacks, and predicting the path of the shrinking circle. When the meteor cuts through the eternal night, you will hear the echoes of the Golden Age." This is the creed of the Hermit. It is suggested to quickly grab the Lightning Swift Step on the first day, transition to the Life Hybrid Breath support on the second day, and become a meteor cannon on the final day. Remember: Only the living can deal DPS.
