How to unlock Duchess in Elden Ring Nightreign
Before you can unlock Duchess, you'll first need to complete your first Expedition, defeating Gladius, Beast of Night at the end of the Tricephalos Expedition.
Once you've done that, you'll receive the Old Pocketwatch item. Head back to Roundtable Hold with the watch in-hand and talk to the Priestess.
Select the 'Show her the old pocketwatch' dialogue option, and then select 'Give it to her'.
You'll then be shown a quick cutscene, after which you'll be able to play as Duchess!
How to unlock Revenant in Elden Ring Nightreign
You can't unlock Revenant until you've already unlocked Duchess, so pop back up one section to unlock her first.
Once you've done that, make your way to the Small Jar Bazaar in Roundtable Hold, where you'll be able to purchase the Besmirched Frame for 1,500 Murk.
Buy it, and then make sure you're using your character of choice, because you'll have to do some fighting.
Head to the eastern hall and interact with the phantom you find there. Choose the option to touch the phantom, and you'll be teleported to the tutorial area.
Return to the area where you first fought the Fell Omen at the start of the game, and you'll find the Revenant waiting for you (although she'll be called the Night Idol at this point).
Fight and defeat the Night Idol, who will promptly swear revenge against you, and you'll unlock the Revenant to play as in future!
