The Nightreign expansion has turned the Lands Between into a nightmare. The new enemies in the Shadow Realm hit harder, move faster, and the new “Eclipse” mechanic drains your health just by standing in the dark.
I wanted to test the new DLC weapons immediately without grinding for hours, so I tried to open the console to spawn them (like in Skyrim).
But here is the bad news: FromSoftware does not include a developer console. Plus, the Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) system blocks any attempt to modify the game.
That is why I rely on the XMOD Trainer, which acts as a “Visual Console” and automatically bypasses EAC for safe offline play.
Cheat Sheet: Common Console Commands

The Truth: Does Elden Ring Have a Console?
If you press ~ (Tilde) in Elden Ring: Nightreign, nothing happens. Unlike Bethesda games, FromSoftware completely disables the debug console in the retail version.
The “EAC” Problem:
Even if you could open a console, Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) would ban you instantly. EAC monitors the game’s memory in real-time. If you try to inject code (like a console command) while online, you risk a 180-day soft ban, forcing you to play on the “Cheater’s Server.”
The Solution:
You need a tool that does two things:
Disables EAC (Forces Offline Mode).
Injects the “Console Commands” safely.
XMOD handles both automatically.
The Solution: XMOD Trainer (EAC Bypass)
The XMOD Trainer is the safest way to access console-like features. When you launch the game through XMOD, it suppresses the start_protected_game.exe process.
Why it’s better than manual mods:
No Item IDs Needed: Unlike Cheat Engine tables where you have to look up PDFs for “Item Hex IDs” (e.g., 0x000F32), XMOD has a Search Bar. Just type “River of Blood” or “Messmer’s Spear” and click Add.
Auto-Bypass: You don’t need to rename .exe files or mess with Steam launch options.
Seamless Co-op Support: It works perfectly with the popular “Seamless Co-op” mod since that mod also disables EAC.
Reference: Popular Nightreign Item IDs
Many players search for “Item IDs” to use with Cheat Engine scripts. While we recommend using the XMOD Item Spawner (which requires no codes), here are the Hex IDs for the most requested items if you insist on doing it the hard way.
Warning: These IDs often shift with game updates (Patch 1.15+).
Item Name
Hex ID Code (v1.15)
XMOD Spawner Method
Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone
0x00002EE0
Type “Ancient” -> Click Add
Larval Tear
0x00002EE9
Type “Larval” -> Click Add
Rivers of Blood
0x001C2200
Type “Rivers” -> Click Add
Dark Moon Greatsword
0x001C2260
Type “Dark Moon” -> Click Add
Messmer’s Impaler (DLC)
0x001C88A0
Type “Messmer” -> Click Add
Strategy Guide: How to Use Cheats in Nightreign
Cheating isn’t just about God Mode. Here is how veterans use XMOD to enhance their build-crafting:
1. The “Build Tester” (Infinite Larval Tears)
Nightreign introduces 8 new weapon categories. Instead of starting a New Game+, use the Item Spawner to give yourself 99 Larval Tears.
Benefit: You can respect your stats at Rennala infinitely to test every new weapon scaling without consequences.
2. The “Eclipse” Counter
Some areas in the DLC are pitch black or have environmental damage.
Benefit: Toggle God Mode or Infinite Light Duration to explore these areas fully and find all the hidden Scadutree Fragments without the annoyance of constant health drain.
3. Skip the Material Grind
Upgrading new weapons to +25 requires Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones, which are limited per playthrough.
Benefit: Use Ignore Crafting/Upgrade Requirements. You can max out every single DLC weapon immediately to see which one you like best.
Step-by-Step Guide to Installation
1. Download the Tool
Download XMOD from here and save it to your PC.
2. Launch via XMOD (Crucial Step)
Do not launch the game from Steam. Open the XMOD Client and click “Launch Game”.
Note: You will hear a “beep” or see a message saying EAC is disabled. This is good. It means you are safe.
3. Activate Features
Load your save file. Use the Item Spawner menu to add the new Nightreign weapons, or use Numpad 1 for God Mode.
Important: Anti-Ban Safety Checklist
Before you start cheating, follow this 3-point checklist to keep your Steam account safe.
Always Stay Offline: The XMOD launcher forces offline mode, but never try to turn the trainer on if you manually launched the game in Online Mode.
Avoid “Illegal” Stats: Do not modify your stats (Vigor/Strength) to numbers impossible for your level (e.g., 99 Strength at Level 1). The server sanity check will catch this when you go back online.
Key Items Warning: Do not spawn “Key Items” (like Keys or Medallions) that you haven’t naturally unlocked in the story yet. This can break your save file logic. Stick to Weapons, Runes, and Consumables.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: Do I need to know Item IDs to spawn weapons?
A: No. The XMOD Trainer includes a built-in item browser. You can search for items by name (e.g., “Moonveil”, “Smithing Stone”) and add them to your inventory instantly. No spreadsheets required.
Q: Can I go online after using this?
A: Yes, BUT be careful. If you spawn items that are “impossible” (like a +99 Sword or a key item that breaks the story sequence), you might get flagged when you go back online. We recommend spawning legal items (Runes, Consumables) only.
Q: Does the console command work for Runes?
A: Yes. Pressing Numpad 2 (Add Runes) is the equivalent of the player.addRunes command. It is much faster than farming the Albinaurics at Mohgwyn Palace.
Conclusion: Conquer the Shadow Realm
The Nightreign expansion is difficult, but you should be allowed to play it your way. Whether you want to act as a dungeon master with the Item Spawner or just want to survive the brutal bosses, the XMOD Trainer is your ultimate console command alternative.
