An entirely new update for Elden Ring has been released by FromSoftware, and it is expected to make the downloadable content (DLC) slightly simpler, particularly in its early stages.
The downloadable content (DLC) Shadow of the Erdtree, which was released by Elden Ring, has received widespread critical acclaim; however, it has caused even some of the most devoted Soulslike fans to scratch their heads.
Despite the fact that Elden Ring and the genre as a whole are known for their high level of difficulty, it appears that many people have been dissuaded from playing Shadow of the Erdtree because of how difficult it is.
Due to the fact that Shadow of the Erdtree has proven to be extremely challenging, some players have begun to start review bombing the game on Steam in order to voice their dissatisfaction with the game.
There are some people who feel that Shadow of the Erdtree is simply too difficult, particularly when compared to the base game. On the other hand, there are some people who enjoy the additional difficulty that the game presents.
A new update has been released for the open world game Shadow of the Erdtree, which aims to address the game’s balance.
This update may have been released in response to negative feedback from players regarding the game’s difficulty. Fans of Elden Ring can download Update 1.12.2 right now from the website.
When players use Shadow Realm Blessings like Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ashes, it increases the amount of attack output and damage negation for the first half of the maximum amount of Blessing enhancements. However, the second half will be more gradual.
As an additional point of interest, the attack output and damage negation for the final level of Blessing enhancements “has been slightly increased.”
After downloading the update, players of Elden Ring will have an easier time with the early parts of the downloadable content (DLC), as well as the final moments of the expansion.
This is the long and short of it. Therefore, those who feel like they have reached a point of no return when confronted with the Divine Beast Dancing Lion boss of Elden Ring may have an easier time winning that brutal battle, and those who are stuck on the final battle should also have a somewhat easier time.
The answer to this question, of course, is contingent upon the fact that players of Elden Ring are actually collecting and using Scadutree Fragments in the game.
As it became apparent that many players were simply not making proper use of their Scadutree Fragments, publisher Bandai Namco was forced to release a message reminding Elden Ring players to do so.
A new collectible item known as Scadutree Fragments can be discovered by players as they explore the downloadable content.
They make it possible for players to deal more damage and to withstand more damage that is dealt to them when they are used at a Site of Grace.
Scadutree Fragments are required for the majority of people who wish to finish the Shadow of the Erdtree downloadable content, and as of the most recent update, they should provide players with an even greater advantage.
Raytracing is automatically enabled when players on PC load saved data from earlier versions of the game, according to Bandai Namco’s confirmation in the patch notes for the new Elden Ring update.
Some players have been experiencing framerate issues in Shadow of the Erdtree as a result of this, and those players are strongly encouraged to disable raytracing.
The patch notes conclude by stating that additional Elden Ring updates are on their way. These updates will fix bugs and make “other balance adjustments,” though what those adjustments will consist of remains to be seen.

About graphics settings (PC version only)
In the event that you have previously loaded saved data from earlier versions of the game, we have confirmed that there is a bug that causes the raytracing settings to be automatically enabled.
‘SYSTEM’ > ‘Graphics Settings’ > ‘Raytracing Quality’ settings from the title menu or in-game menu should be checked to see if it has been unintentionally set to ‘ON’ if your framerate is unstable. If it has been set to ‘ON’, the framerate will be unstable. Ray Tracing will no longer be automatically enabled after it has been set to the ‘OFF’ flag.
There are also plans for future patches to include additional balance adjustments as well as bug fixes.
