Even before its launch, Elden Ring had welcomed a 1.02 update with the latest improvements prepared by FromSoftware. Patch 1.03 released today is therefore the first since the release and will therefore change the experience for the approximately 12 million players that the experience already includes. There are mostly fixes galore in this update, for changes in the behavior of certain enemies, the effectiveness of spells or the spawn rate of several objects.
She otherwise brings a new non-playable character called Jar-Bairn for a whole new mission, revamps the way several quests work to make them more understandable, or even adds a function to indicate the name and location of an NPC on the map. You can find the changelog full English at this addressor translated with the resources below (pending a possible French version).
