Everything you need to know about the best Raider build for the Enhanced Sentient Pest in Elden Ring Nightreign, including Relics, and more.

Raider is easily the most beginner-friendly Nightfarer in Elden Ring Nightreign, perhaps even more so than the game’s poster child,Wylder. The trick to using Raider is simple, you just “bonk” everything on your path, until it stops moving. However, while the “brute-force” method might take you far through the regularNightlordbosses, that’s not going to help you much against their enhanced variants. The Enhanced Sentient Pest, for instance, is easily one of the biggest hurdles for the traditional Raider playstyle. Thankfully, you can easily “stomp” your way through Enhanced Gnoster, if you have the right build for your Raider.

Here’s a comprehensive guide on the best Raider build for the Enhanced Sentient Pest in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Overview of the Best Raider Build for Enhanced Sentient Pest in Elden Ring Nightreign

For the Raider build, we’re going for pure elemental damage. Unlike other Nightlords, the Sentient Pest doesn’t give you enough room to get a ton of attacks in. Instead, you’ll get small opportunities to dish out your attacks. And you want to capitalize on these opportunities with elemental damage. Ideally, you wantFiredamage on your weapon when going up against Gnoster. However, for this build, we are using bothFireandFrost. Fire will stagger and deal damage over time to the boss, whereas Frost will slow it down and also deal a chunk of damage.

The only downside here is that you need to devote some time to getting theSmithing Stonesto upgrade your starting weapon. Additionally, we also recommend keeping a look out forColossal Weapons, that way you can power-stance the starting weapon, and deal additional stance damage. That said, you can alsotwo-handthe starting armament. Doing so is ideal if you don’t want to focus on jumping attacks.
