Elden Ring Nightreign Patch Arrives Early to Support Solo Players, But Changes Are Modest

Elden Ring Nightreign’s servers got their groove back today after a bit of downtime. Why? FromSoftware dropped a significant patch—update 1.01.1. Let’s just say, it’s making life a little less brutal for those of us who like to go it alone in this chaotic fantasy world.

I gotta say, the solo experience was kinda lacking before. Not everyone’s keen on group play, right? It’s supposed to be a trio setup, but if you prefer walking the path solo, it was kinda rough. Well, FromSoftware seemed to hear the cries from lone warriors. Originally, some tweaks were slated for a bigger update (1.02), but hey, they squeezed some in early. Bless them!

Two big things for solo players: you get a free revive once per night boss fight—yes, you heard me, free! Used to be you had to earn that sucker. Now, it’s just there. Plus, rune gains got a boost. Makes sense since you’re not getting help from pals and leveling can be a grind.

For those loving group plays, some good stuff too. Relics increase during Expeditions—maybe make that daunting boss a tad more bearable? And hey, grab more high-end Relics from Scenic Flat stones, those are up for sale at the Small Jar Bazaar.

Now, about those bug fixes. Wings of Salvation cam got tweaked. Apparently, it was all jittery at the wrong times—yikes, right? And skills… oh boy, some weren’t triggering as they should. I get it, coding is madness. Basically, a ton got fixed: from weirdly high damage issues to awkward character skills that just didn’t play ball.

Here’s a pile of bug list goodness for the nerd heart:
– Camera’s less likely to induce headaches with Wings of Salvation.
– Duchess’s “Restage” skill now plays nice—status effects trigger correctly.
– Some Raider attacks stopped being overkill.
– Fixes to “Sacred Blade” and “Bloody Slash” glitches.
– Ghostflame, Frostbite, and Rock Sling got sorted out—no more surprises.
– Black Blade now reduces HP like it means business.
– Oh, and Relics and Passives displaying correctly? Check.
– Graphics and sound mishaps, like invisible backgrounds or silent battles, got some TLC too.

Steam users, hi—your graphics and action issues got attention. Keyboard climbs should feel less like a workout now.

Before I forget—there’s a guide that breaks down everything Elden Ring Nightreign: builds, walkthroughs, Nightlord rankings, you name it. Could be handy for a deep dive.

Anyway, that’s what’s up in the Nightreign world today. Happy gaming!
