Elden Ring Nightreign Patch 1.01.1 Nerfs Solo Mode Difficulty, Fixes Bugs, and Makes More Balance Changes

by

In a recent update, FromSoftware introduced Elden Ring’s initial post-launch patch, version 1.01.1, which has significantly enhanced the difficulty level in the single-player mode of the game.

In this new version 1.01.1, you can update your game on PC through Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S. This update introduces a new feature called “Automatic Revival Upon Defeat.” With this feature, if you’re playing solo boss battles at night, you will be revived once when defeated. Additionally, the amount of runes you earn from solo expeditions has been increased. Enjoy your updated gaming experience!

That will come as some relief to players who had found solo mode a brutal experience. As explained in iggn.ru‘s Elden Ring Nightreign review: “Let’s get the most important caveat out of the way first: if you are hoping to tackle Nightreign entirely solo, and are anything less than a hardcore Elden Ring player that actively seeks out ways to make that already difficult game even more challenging, Nightreign isn’t for you. Yes, there is technically a single-player option, but it is so poorly balanced that I would be shocked if it isn’t patched and adjusted within the first month of release. And this is coming from someone who lives and breathes these types of games.”

In my gaming adventure, the recent update has made things even more exciting for me! Now, when I reach Day 3 during Expeditions, there’s a chance I’ll get more high-rarity Relics as a reward. Plus, buying Scenic Flat stones from the Small Jar Bazaar now seems a bit luckier, as it increases the probability of getting those coveted high-rarity Relics! Bandai Namco has shared all the details in their official patch notes, which you can find below.

Over the weekend, FromSoftware admitted to matchmaking problems in Elden Ring: Nightreign, and proposed solutions for players experiencing these issues. However, some players have expressed disappointment, primarily because Nightreign doesn’t support duos co-op, lacks voice chat, and features outdated mechanics. The classic challenge of gathering enough friends for a well-coordinated three-player group is also present in the Elden Ring: Nightreign gameplay experience.

Last week, Yasuhiro Kitao, the producer, expressed his thoughts on Elden Ring Nightreign’s impressive first-day sales (reaching 2 million units). He mentioned that Nightreign has unique features in its game design and differs from their previous titles in several aspects. Despite these differences, a large number of you have courageously ventured into this world, for which they are deeply appreciative.

Similar to Demon’s Souls or Sekiro, Nightreign might seem complex initially, but just like those games, it presents unique challenges and experiences of its own. After you conquer the initial obstacles, it promises a feeling of achievement that is distinctively its own.

“We hope you enjoy it.”
