FromSoftware
has
released
a
new
update
for

Elden
Ring
which
introduces
a
number
of
adjustments
to

Shadow
of
the
Erdtree‘s
final
boss.

Promised
Consort
Radahn
is
generally
considered
to
be
the
toughest
foe
in
the
expansion
by
players
who
have
managed
to
come
face-to-face
with
him,
so
some
who
have
been
having
trouble
with
him
will
be
glad
to
know
that
the
final
boss
has
now
been
considerably
nerfed.

As
detailed
in
the

patch
notes
for
version
1.14,
FromSoftware
has
changed
the
action
pattern
of
the
boss
when
the
battle
first
starts
–
which
could
mean
he’ll
no
longer
dive
headfirst
towards
you
when
you
enter
the
arena
–
and
some
attack
moves
have
also
been
adjusted,
though
it’s
not
mentioned
which
ones.

Some
of
Radahn’s
attacks
have
also
been
reduced
in
damage
and
stamina,
as
well
as
the
attack
range
of
some
non-weapon-based
attacks,
which
could
mean
his
phase
three
abilities,
and
the
visibility
of
some
attack
effects
have
been
improved.

Aside
from
the
highlight
of
the
patch,
the
update
has
also
made
adjustments
to
PvP
equipment
and
skills,
while
a
selection
of
base
game
equipment,
incantations,
and
spells
have
received
their
usual
tweaks.
