ELDEN RING - Update 1.12.2 (Rebalanced Scadutree Blessings)
ELDEN RING Calibration Update – Version 1.12.2 Thank you kindly for playing ELDEN RING SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE. To adjust the Expansion’s balance, a calibration update has been released.
Attack and damage negation curve scaling of the Shadow Realm Blessings have been revised.
- The attack and damage negation has been increased for the first half of the maximum amount of Blessing enhancements, and the second half will now be more gradual.
- The attack and damage negation granted by the final level of Blessing enhancements has been slightly increased.
- Other balance adjustments as well as bug fixes are also planned for a future patch.
I wish they were a bit more open with the percentages. I have +11 or +12 now, and I don't know if that means I'll see any increase, or not.
You should see an increase, but likely small. Since the end point increased and since the curve only increases between upgrades, that means that all points before the end point must also increase. However, most of the benefit is now granted in the first half of the upgrades possible, so at your level the increase per level will be smaller than it was before.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking would happen. I'll find out when I get home from work and have a chance to test it. Luckily I was farming armor and testing amulets last night, so I have a baseline damage number on an enemy already for what I was before.
You should still see an increase with every level, it just won't be as big once you start getting toward the max. Kinda like stats and soft/hard caps.
Yeah. I grabbed all of them now and I'm at the grace before the final boss. Just snagged the last of the armors and weapons I'd missed and killed the furnace golems last night. I think I'm just about 100% on it now. Gonna wipe up the boss tonight and put it aside while I get back to real life for a bit.
Edit: I said "wipe up the boss." That was a mistake, and I understand that now. I apologize for my hubris.
Maybe I can finally kill the last dude. Fucker always nukes me with his arena filling divine light bullshit like 30 seconds into the second phase because it kills me in one shot. Literally only dude in the game at this point who has been able to.
I used to think this guy was cool, but fuck him.
Yeah the final boss is seriously overturned. I wouldn't be surprised if the next patch nerfs that second phase, or at least makes it easier to see.
Fuckin laaaaaaaaaaaame. I want a roll back option on this. If your gonna rebalance it for everyone crying just give them the “Im afraid to die mode”
Lol. If you really want a challenge, play without blessings.
Me when the optional system is optional
Just entering the DLC at level 1 is a fun challenge. But, like... If you can kill Radahn and Mogh at level 1 it probably isn't actually a challenge. 🤷🏻♂️
There's about 3 mountains and a valley between what they did and baby mode.
I beat 5 of the bosses so far, and I'm wondering when they're going to start being fun. Because I'm not having fun killing bosses, and every boss feels the same to fight.
The game doesn't need to be super nerfed, but right now even From is admitting they need tweaking.
