🎯 Solo vs Trio – Which Is Objectively Harder in Nightreign?
When comparing solo and trio modes strictly by game mechanics (not player opinion), solo is objectively harder. Here’s why:
🔁 Revives: Solo gives you one self-revive per boss. Trio allows infinite revives from teammates.
🎯 Aggro: In solo, all enemies focus on you. In trio, aggro is split, making combat more manageable.
🧠 Task Load: Solo players must handle everything—exploration, mobs, looting, boss fights, objectives. Trio divides this workload.
⌛ Time Pressure: The shrinking map punishes solo players more since they can’t multitask or split objectives.
⚔️ Enemy Scaling: Enemies are stronger in trio, but the advantages of teamwork (staggering, coordination) outweigh the difficulty increase.
💡 Conclusion: Even with weaker enemies, solo puts you under constant pressure with fewer resources, tighter margins, and no backup. Solo is mechanically the harder mode.
What do you think about Marais Executioner's Sword and Grafted Blade being banned from Nightreign speedruns? Should they be put in their own category? Should From Software just nerf their passives? I'm interested to hear what you guys think!

If you could forget about and play back through any one video game, what would it be?
I'm having a hard time deciding between the original Metroid Prime or Elden Ring.
