Elden Ring DLC ​​will get an update to make the game easier

Erdtree’s shadow It will become easier. Bandai Namco seems to have heard the huge outcry from reviewers and players alike Erdtree It’s very difficult. Reply to the publisher Performs “calibration update” This will reduce the difficulty level by making players stronger. According to the patch notes for this update:

Attack and damage denial have been increased in the first half of the maximum Blessed Improvements, and the second half will now be more gradual.

The attack and damage granted by the final level of Blessing Enhancements has been slightly increased.

The key to understanding this update is Scadotri fragments. They are DLC-specific upgrade materials that increase the player’s attack and defense. Fragments are scattered throughout the map, requiring a significant amount of exploration to find, but the increased power they grant makes them a high-priority resource.

There are 20 levels of Scadutree Blessings in the game. Updating the calibration will increase the power granted by the first ten levels, while the power granted by the second ten levels will decrease slightly. This means that players in the first part of the DLC should see a sharp increase in power, making the game’s first bosses (including fearsome ones) Relana) is a little easier. Finally, the final blessing will also receive a boost ostensibly to help those struggling against the brutal final boss. I won’t mention the name of this boss here because it’s too early to mention such a spoiler, but rest assured, such a boost is justified.

There is a second note in the update that addresses a bug related to ray tracing settings. Loading a previous save from a previous version of the game may automatically enable ray tracing. The notes say that if you have frame rate issues, check to see if ray tracing was accidentally turned on.

Hopefully this small boost will squash the difficulty rhetoric but will likely only exacerbate it, as there will now be a class of players who can gloat that they beat the game before the nerf… like game journalists.
