Elden Ring players woke up this morning to a cruel surprise. Developer FromSoftware released a major new patch for the game – its biggest since launch – that brings a list of nerfs and buffs. Unfortunately, as it’s often the case with balance updates, some of players’ favourite items have been nullified.
Patch 1.03 went live earlier this morning on all platforms; introducing a number of incredibly helpful new features, expanding the quests of some NPCs, and fixing several bugs – particularly those involving performance hiccups while traversing the open world.
Though all players are excited that the map now lists discovered merchants, and the locations of NPCs you’ve encountered, some are lamenting a few of the nerfs that hit their favourite skills and summons. Nowhere is this more true than with the Mimic Tear.
