The first post-Shadow of the Erdtree patch has arrived, and it sees a much needed balancing to the early game’s difficulty.
Patch notes: Shadow of the Erdtree 1.12.2
Attack and damage negation curve scaling of the Shadow Realm Blessings have been revised.
Bandai Namco
– 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.
The calibration update can be applied by logging into the multiplayer server.
If the Calibration Ver. listed at the bottom right of the title menu is not “1.12.2”, then select LOGIN and apply the latest regulations before enjoying the game.
We have confirmed a bug where the raytracing settings are automatically enabled if you have previously loaded saved data from previous game versions.
If your framerate is unstable, please check in the ‘SYSTEM’ > ‘Graphics Settings’ > ‘Raytracing Quality’ settings from the title menu or in-game menu to check if it has been unintentionally set to ‘ON’. Once set to ‘OFF’, Ray Tracing will no longer be automatically enabled.
Other balance adjustments as well as bug fixes are also planned for a future patch.
The patch notes see the early Scadutree Fragments becoming much more powerful than before. In fact, early on into the expansion’s launch, Bandai Namco shared a disclaimer for players to get more fragments if they were finding it too difficult.
These early game Scadu Fragments won’t be as valuable in the late game, which makes getting started a lot less brutal, while maintaining the challenge of the late-game.
Yesterday, FromSoftware uploaded a post to the Steam hub stating how to strengthen your character. Essentially, look for Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ashes, alongside instructions on how to find these.
