This list of Elden Ring ‘s most substantial nerfs goes to show just how dramatic the 1.03 update was for the game. Not only did the old strategies that were popularized upon launch fade away, but Arcane builds rose to dominate the meta. Hopefully FromSoftware and Bandai Namco can someday reverse this with future nerfs to revitalize _Elden Ring _ ‘s gamep
The Moonveil was once considered the most broken weapon in Elden Ring , and it wasn’t even close. The katana comes with the Ash of War “Transient Moonlight,” which essentially is the “Unsheathe” Ash of War with an extended area of effect because of a moon beam that shoots out of the katana after unsheathing. So much about the Moonveil made it incredibly broken at launch: It scales with Dexterity and Intelligence, playing into the meta; it’s available soon after choosing a class and starting of Elden Ring , being just northeast of the Third Church of Marika; and most importantly, it deals tons of damage to poise. In PvP, poise is incredibly broken, and in PvE, the poise of bosses can feel infinite. But players like the YouTuber Varsona Vyzelta show how Moonveil could cut through poise like butter; a few swings of Transient Moonlight could send even Godfrey, the First Elden Lord, to his kn
In reality, Boc is secretly hoping to receive affirmation from the player. Offering him the Golden Needle, a piece of demigod armor to alter, and using the “you’re beautiful” Prattling Pete in front of him affords him the praise he’s so long desired. While he’s not among the most useful characters in Elden Ring , he’s one of a very small number of Elden Ring NPCs who aren’t predestined for a terrible f
One central character that ties into this plot is Ranni the Witch. She is aligned with the Nox’s goals and is hinted to be working with them in some capacity, psychological Horror Gaming as she has a teleporter in Renna’s Rise that links to Nokstella. Like the Nox, Ranni seeks to finish her Elden Ring quest by ushering in the Age of Stars, which is the achievement awarded for choosing her ending. She is also an Empyrean and child of Radagon/Marika. During her quest line, Ranni reveals that she was behind the Night of the Black Knives. It’s possible that Marika conspired with Ranni by telling her where Destined Death can be found since Marika is the one who removed it from the Elden Ring and hid
Despite her status as an Empyrean and vessel of the Greater Will, there are hints suggesting she was plotting to betray the outer god. At Elden Ring ‘s Roundtable Hold , the player can hear the blacksmith Hewg whispering a prayer to Marika. He can also be heard muttering about Marika’s command that he smith a weapon that can kill a god. The Greater Will may have learned of this plot and locked Marika inside the Erdtree as punishment. The god’s knowledge of her betrayal is supported by the fact that the Two Fingers have selected three other Empyreans to be Marika’s successor – Miquella, Malenia, and Ranni. Marika’s imprisonment could be why her Grace is guiding the Tarnished, to put the player in contact with Hewg so they can use the god-killing weapon in her st
