The Forsaken Hollows await all brave enough to shoulder their curse, but until then, Elden Ring Nightreign players can download Patch 1.03. It adds support for the DLC, brings several bug fixes and even adds Fire Pots to the Spirit Shelter, but most importantly, several buffs have arrived for various passive and relic effects.
These include improved melee attack power, improved attack power when two-handing, improved chain attack finishers (which should pair well with the new Undertaker), and more. The conditions for triggering improved damage negation at low HP and the Blue-Feathered Branchsword have also been “broadened,” though they’re also less effective.
Several relic effects like improved guard counter, improved critical hits, and more have also received buffs, but once again, improved damage negation at low HP is less effective. Despite director Junya Ishizaki insisting that the DLC is only a “little bit harder,” FromSoftware is certainly cutting off the best defensive tools.
Elden Ring Nightreign – The Forsaken Hollows launches on December 4th for PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4, and Xbox One. Check out the full patch notes here.
