Elden Ring Nightreign: Patch Tweaks Madness, Fixes Revival Bug

A new patch for Elden Ring Nightreign,⁢ version 1.01.3, is now live, bringing balance adjustments and ⁤bug fixes to ⁢all platforms. While the changes⁤ are focused, players ⁤are‍ reacting positively.

The⁣ patch increases the drop rate for weapons with ⁣the madness status ailment. Madness inflicts significant damage, causing enemies to erupt ‍in flames.

While the increased madness weapon drops could help against Nightlords such as⁢ Libra, some players on Reddit’s⁣ r/Nightreign are skeptical. They point out that few weapons ‍have madness effects, mainly incantation seals and Vyke’s Spear, and only a small number of enemies are vulnerable to ⁣it.

One Reddit user said they hope regular weapons ⁤can⁢ now roll madness, even if only from ‍madness⁢ camps, noting ⁢that other status effects are more common despite madness being particularly useful against‍ one specific boss.

A key bug fix addresses an issue where players would loose battles after being revived from near death against a Nightlord⁤ or other night bosses. One player described the bug as “psychological horror,” saying it happened to them about‍ 20 ‍times.

The update also includes ⁢quality-of-life ⁢improvements, such as adjusting the Whirlwind skill effect visibility for‍ Guardian players using a ⁤specific Relic.

However, players are still waiting for a fix for Shifting Earth events. These events randomly alter the Nightreign map,adding mini-dungeons. many players have reported that Shifting Earth events become rare after defeating the final boss, hindering trophy completion.

Despite⁣ the ⁣unaddressed⁢ issue,the patch offers quality-of-life fixes to ease nightfarer expeditions. FromSoftware has also teased “enhanced” versions of the current ⁣Nightlord roster expected this month.

For those seeking assistance,guides are available for Nightfree Tips and Tricks, ⁤ Nightlord ⁤Bosses, Nightfarer Classes, ⁢ revenant Unlock, Duchess Unlock and Character Changes.
