Elden Ring Nightreign's next update will make sure your Depth level actually goes up when you win, let you drop it down when it gets too hard

"The ultra-chalenging Deep of Night mode has only been available in Elden Ring Nightreign for about ten days, but players have already identified a couple of areas where it could improve, and unfortunately ran into a nasty bug that could rob you of your victory. Deep of Night is a mode designed for longtime players, offering multiple tiers of higher difficulties that you can climb through. It also changes some of the game's rules to make it more exciting and challenging for veteran players."

"FromSoftware confirmed that, while it works on a permanent fix, a temporary solution will arrive in the game in an update soon. Though we don't have a date for that update, the developer also revealed that it's also taking this opportunity to add a couple of welcome quality of life features to the mode. First, players will soon be able to decrease their Depth rank by one level."

"Upon reaching Depth levels 3, 4, and 5, you'll be protected against losing a level after your next defeat. This protects you from a single defeat at level 3, and two defeats at levels 4 and 5. The even better news is that the protection is refreshed when you reach the same Depth level again after a demotion. Finally, if you're playing on Steam on PC, you'll soon be able to continue your session if Steam itself disconnects."

Deep of Night is an ultra-chalenging mode in Elden Ring Nightreign introduced about ten days ago that offers multiple tiers of increased difficulty and changes game rules for veteran players. Some players encountered a bug that prevents increasing Depth rank after earning a win. FromSoftware confirmed a permanent fix is in progress and will issue a temporary update soon, without a date. The update will add quality-of-life features including the ability to decrease Depth rank by one, rank demotion protection at Depths 3–5 (protection refreshed after re-reaching a level), prevention of point loss for Depth 1 players in higher-level matches, and Steam reconnection support on PC.
