A brand new patch for Elden Ring was launched Thursday, ostensibly to arrange the sport for the arrival of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC on June 21. However gamers of the bottom sport are additionally getting a stunning deal with, within the type of a serious quality-of-life replace to the bottom sport’s last boss battle.
In accordance with Bandai Namco’s patch notes for model 1.12 of Elden Ring, developer FromSoftware has added a “new characteristic to summon spectral steed through the Elden Beast boss battle.” Elden Ring gamers who’ve confronted the Elden Beast will know what a aid it’s to have Torrent out there on this state of affairs, as the ultimate boss battle entails a torturous quantity of operating from one facet of the battle enviornment to the opposite, forwards and backwards, and forwards and backwards once more, whereas chasing the always-moving monster.
Whereas the Elden Beast battle was an imposing and difficult last confrontation, the incessant operating round gamers needed to do to get in a number of swipes of a sword or get inside spellcasting vary was one thing of a nightmare. Particularly for the reason that Elden Beast is a two-parter; one must defeat one other boss, Radagon, earlier than dealing with the beast, and failure within the second half meant repeating the primary.

However the capacity to summon Torrent within the Elden Beast boss struggle isn’t the one main quality-of-life replace for Elden Ring in patch 1.12. FromSoft has added a brand new “Current Gadgets” tab to gamers’ stock display screen, letting them simply discover the most recent factor (weapon, cookbook, talisman, and so forth.) they’ve picked up. Newly obtained objects are marked with a “!” image, which might be vastly essential for gamers buying a ton of recent stuff with Shadow of the Erdtree. (Word that the Current Gadgets tab is an opt-in characteristic within the sport’s settings menu, and having used it for the previous week, I extremely advocate turning it on!)
Elden Ring patch 1.12 does a complete lot extra. There are new hairstyles, new PvP-exclusive stability changes, and a protracted record of weapon and talent tweaks, all of that are price reviewing earlier than diving into Shadow of the Erdtree for the primary time.
