This week From Software's Elden Ring Nighttrain expanded with The Forsaken Hollows expansion, which adds two new playable characterstwo additional bosses and the new Shifting Earth event. But if you want to play this DLC, you will need to add the new Nightreign patch version 1.03 on PC and consoles.
One of the main changes in this update is the expansion of the conditions for triggering relic effects. The game's passive effects have been increased, including greater attack power when using a two-handed weapon or weapon, as well as chain attacks, dash attacks, and jump attacks.
Wrath of Gold has received a power boost while reducing FP consumption costs for players. This patch also includes a number of bug fixes, including a bug that caused players to teleport to the wrong area during an Augur Invasion if they landed a critical hit at the time. Under certain conditions, players were unable to activate Places of Grace or Churches, but the notes say the issue has been “mitigated.”
