Elden Ring Nightreign Patch Arrives Early to Aid Solo Players, but Changes Are Modest

Elden Ring Nightreign servers, they just blinked back to life today, after a little nap earlier. FromSoftware took that time to sneak in a new update—it’s the first kinda big one since launch, trying to earn some brownie points with solo players.

So, what’s in update 1.01.1? Yeah, I’ll spill the details. It’s out everywhere now, by the way.

I mean, right after Nightreign hit the shelves, folks started grumbling. “Where’s the support for us lone wolves?!” they cried. Sure, it’s a game meant for a trio, but no need to give solo players the cold shoulder, right?

Anyway, FromSoftware heard the noise and said they’d shake things up with the next major update. Surprise, surprise—some tweaks from that future update snuck their way into today’s patch.

This update’s serving up two main dish changes for solo adventurers. First off, you get a free revive in every nightly boss brawl. This was something you had to earn before. Co-op folks still gotta hustle for it. Oh, and they threw in extra runes for solo players, possibly to help out without backup buddies and speed up the level grind.

For everyone else, they might’ve noticed the boost in high-rarity Relics on Day 3 of any Expedition. A little relief for that final scrap. Also, there’s a better chance of snagging top-notch Relics from Scenic Flat stones—grab ’em at the Small Jar Bazaar.

There’s more under the hood, too. Patch 1.01.1 is squashing bugs. The camera used to bug out during Wings of Salvation. Now, it’s less likely to make your headaches worse. Who even likes watching a screen bounce around like a hyperactive kid?

The tech crew also fixed a bunch of skills not working right, like where the Duchess’s skill didn’t trigger or Relics not showing true values. The list goes on.

Bug Fixes:

– They patched up some camera weirdness during the Guardian’s Ultimate move, “Wings of Salvation.”
– Bugs like the Duchess having off skills and other attacks doing wonky damage? Gone.
– Enemies not dying properly? Fixed.
– Some arrows moving slower than molasses? Yep, sorted out.
– Magic like “Rock Sling” having a mind of its own? All fixed.
– Lots of behind-the-scenes tweaks, ensuring things run smoother, even if you never knew they needed fixing.

Steam-specific mishaps got their own fixes too—like graphics not playing nice when they’re set to “Low,” and issues with climbing. Who knew?

Anyway, that’s the scoop. Oh, and if you need a hand with Elden Ring Nightreign, there’s this nifty guide with all the tricks, character setups, map secrets, and even a ranking of Nightlords. Could be worth a browse!
