Earlier, the Elden Ring Nightreign servers went poof… gone for a bit. About an hour, actually. They needed some TLC before a new patch—1.01.2 if you’re keeping score—dropped. Now, don’t get too excited. This one’s tiny. Trust me, it’s no game-changer, just some bug fixes and those dreaded nerfs. You might’ve not even noticed some of this stuff before now. Bizarre, right?
Oh! Almost forgot, last week’s patch—1.01.1—rolled out on June 2. That had some major tweaks, unlike this sleepy little update. But hey, there are two balance changes worth a mention.
Let’s dive in. There was this weird bug that boosted the ‘Add (Magic/Lightning/Holy) to Weapon’ Passive Effect (mouthful, huh?) more than it should. Bows were the culprits, oddly enough. People have been all over bows lately. Was the bow hype just a bug? Thank goodness they fixed it, I guess. And there’s another change—some weapon skills were beefed up with attack power and status ailments. Way too OP. All fixed now.
Anyway, that’s not all. The loot pool got some TLC too. Now weapons with the Projectile Damage Drop-Off thingy can appear in chests and, well, you know, dead enemies. Oh, and for those into quests—good news! That sneaky Demon Merchant for the ‘Find the Demon Merchant in Limveld’ quest has been handled. Respawns how it should now.
And here we go… the highlights:
– Fixed the Passive Effect boosting bows too much. Shocker.
– Fixed non-direct attacks being way too powerful.
– Added weapons with the ‘Projectile’ passive to loot. Yay!
– Demon Merchant should now actually appear in its quest.
– Libra won’t go rogue with its routine, hopefully.
– Improved stability in the battle with Adel. Fingers crossed!
– Fixed Wormface grab bug. Rescue away!
The devs wrapped up by saying they’re still swatting bugs. Not sure if it’s déjà vu bugs or something else. Time will tell.
Oh, and for those concerned, today’s downtime barely scratched anyone’s quest-hunting attempts, especially those after that rare Nightreign item. The guide’s always online, so less grumbling, more adventuring!
