A major new update is available for FromSoftware’s Elden Ring. Along with an option to switch the camera’s auto rotate function on or off, it adds new event phases for Patches. So yes, you’ll probably need to replay the game for his quest again.

However, the real meat of update 1.04 is in the various balance changes. Colossal Swords and weapons have had their attack speed increased and their recovery time lowered. Two-handed attack damage with them has also been increased. None of these buffs apply to jumping attacks though so keep that in mind.

The scaling of status effect build-up when using the spells and incantations of either the Albinauric Staff or Dragon Communion Seal has also been decreased. The Greatshield Talisman also has a decreased effect on weapons with high block rate. On top of all this, recovery from madness buildup has had its speed lowered (though the length of the “afflicted” animation has been shortened).

Check out some of the patch notes below with full notes here.
