Spoiler names below, but no story specifics

So I’m still erring on the side of caution here withElden Ring. Odds are you’ve seenthe “Let Me Solo Her” storyfloating around the community, but maybe you don’t know some of the specifics and intend to play the game completely blind. If you’re still doing that,avoid the below story on the newElden Ringboss update!

Straight from Bandai Namco’s website, there are some new patch notes to acclimate to, which the publisher is calling version “1.04.1” at the moment:

Elden Ring boss update

The first one is relatively minor but needed fixing anyway. The Cerulean Hidden Tear getting “revised downward” was actually a nerf. The effect of the item is “eliminates all FP consumption [for 15 seconds],” and it was “revised downward” to seven seconds. It’s reverted now, in theory.

The “big two” and theElden Ringboss update portions are Malenia and Elden Beast. For the former, a recent patch actually made this infamous boss tougher, asshe could heal even if she didn’t hit you with her attacks(this is what “HP was not healed correctly” means) — but only when playing with other players. The latter has been bugged in some conditions for many players, including freezing bouts: which should also be fixed.

Hopefully future patches will sidestep having to fix bugs from prior patches going forward. Take your time.
