Elden Ring: Nightreign jolts the core experience with different mechanics, three-player co-op game, and a sunless land crawling with bite-sized terrors. Ice-cold wizards take note, though, because the familiar Cerulean Flasks have vanished from your starting kit. Focus Points (FP), the lifeblood of spells and weapon tricks-now trickle in like rain on cracked clay. Wondering how to refill that blue reservoir? You're far from the only mage asking. By looting phosphorescent weeds, hunting niche flasks, or banking on class-locked talents, you can stretch your casting budget. Well map out every source so you never end up dry while the boss model looms close.

1. Resting at a Site of Grace

Let’s start with the obvious: resting at a Site of Grace completely restores your HP and FP. These golden beacons are scattered across Limveld and serve as safe zones where you can level up, fast travel, and reset the world. Use the map to track Grace locations before venturing into unexplored territory, you never know when you’ll need to recharge.

2. Using FP-Restoring Plants

One of Nightreign’s clever additions is FP-restoring flora. These plants glow faintly and have white and pale-blue leaves, standing out against the darker landscape. You can interact with them while moving, making them ideal for on-the-go FP recovery. Keep an eye out when exploring Limveld, these plants often grow near enemy camps or magical ruins.

3. Consuming Starlight Shards

Starlight Shards are your new best friend. These consumables are commonly found inside chests or dropped when smashing crates and barrels. When used, they instantly restore a good chunk of FP, making them a lifesaver during boss fights or emergency situations. Always keep a stack handy, especially when going into tough areas or facing bosses like the Nightlord.

4. Passive FP Regeneration & Special Effects

Some weapons, talismans, and armor sets have passive effects that regenerate FP under certain conditions, such as:

• Landing critical strikes
• Hitting with consecutive attacks
• Slowly regenerating FP over time

Additionally, defeating bosses or elite enemies can awaken Dormant Power, which may grant powerful Special Effects that regenerate FP or boost your FP pool.

5. Finding Cerulean Crystal Tear Flasks

You won’t find these easily, but Cerulean Crystal Tear Flasks can sometimes be bought from merchants. They work like a supercharged Starlight Shard, restoring a large amount of FP in one gulp. Also keep an eye out for the Cerulean Hidden Tear, which sets FP cost to zero temporarily, perfect for chaining massive spells like Comet Azur or Crystal Torrent.

Elden Ring Nightreign challenges players to rethink their resource management, especially when it comes to FP recovery. While it might feel punishing at first, mastering the new methods of restoring FP, whether through plants, shards, or Nightfarer skills, adds another layer of depth to an already intricate combat system.
