Elden Ring Gets New Shadow of the Erdtree Update with Full Patch Notes

As a seasoned adventurer with years of combat experience under my belt, I have encountered countless foes and challenges that have tested my mettle both physically and mentally. My journey has led me to face off against some of the most formidable enemies in this land, from fiery knights to ancient dragons, each one more relentless than the last.

Players of Elden Ring received an update this week, enhancing various weapons, incantations, spells, and equipment from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The positive aspect for players who have perfected their Shadow of the Erdtree builds is that there are more enhancements to different items than there are reductions. Notably, some intriguing weapons from the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, such as hand-to-hand weapons and backhand blades, now perform significantly better than before. These weapons, which were entertaining but underperforming compared to more traditional options, will undoubtedly benefit from this improvement.

Similar to many updates for Elden Ring, this recent patch focused on addressing certain PvP anomalies, including some unconventional players.

Due to numerous modifications, the patch notes for the recent Elden Ring update are quite extensive. Let’s dive right in and explore the key points below. For a comprehensive list of bug fixes, please refer to the official game website.
