Massive Elden Ring Patch Nerfed the Game’s Best Weapon
FromSoftware released the first major patch Elden Ring and has made many improvements to the open-world adventure.
Most patches only modify what is already in the game. FromSoftware has introduced substantial new content. Elden Ring was already a huge game. However, it now has additional NPCs and music.
The full list of new content can be viewed here. Highlights include Jar-Bairn (a new NPC) and the ability to summons NPCs in situations where they cannot summon before. New phases have been added to quests that involve Diallos, Nepheli Loux and Kenneth Haight.
The best feature of the new game is the ability to track the location and name of NPCs in the game. You won’t have to travel around the various Sites of Grace anymore until you find the funny little guy with the white mask.
While there are many changes to cheer about, Elden Ring‘s most recent patch still manages to take a significant toll. Many players consider the Sword Of Night And Flame to be the best weapon. It has been nerfed.
The Sword Of Night And Flame, an extremely powerful sword, comes with two built-in spells. The first is a fiery slash with a long range that can kill any enemy who is foolish enough to stand near it. The second beam is laser-focused and can do massive damage. It requires very little Intelligence, faith, and strength, making it one of the most sought-after weapons in the game.
Unfortunately, the gravy train arrived at the station. According to the patch notes, there is confirmation that weapon skill has been decreased, Sword Of Night and Flame have suffered reduced damage.
It is not clear how big a hit magic blade has taken. It’s the only weapon to be nerfed, so we can guess FromSoftware realized how many people were using it to destroy bosses. It was fun for a while.
