Oh wow, so here’s the deal with this Elden Ring Nightreign update—totally caught me off guard. I mean, nobody expected this surprise drop. No downtime needed, just an update that snuck in like that random cat that appears on your doorstep.
Anyway, we’re on update 1.01.4 now. Followed 1.01.3 from June. Yeah, it’s one of those incremental updates. But still, fixes that might save your run from a total disaster. You know, matchmaking glitches, weird bug scenarios—imagine your buddies joining and bouncing all at once and then, poof, matchmaking dies unless you restart. Totally fixed now, thank goodness!
Oh, and there’s this new feature-ish thing. When you peek at the Armament Info, it shows you the weapon type. Kind of handy, right? Helps you decide if you wanna keep that shiny sword or stick with your trusty axe. Buff decisions, all that player jazz.
Now for the juicy bits. If you’re into missing gestures or achievements (who isn’t?), brace yourself. You gotta do the thing again to unlock ’em. The patch notes skipped this detail, but seems like there’s a secret setup for Sentient Pest Nightlord to ascend as the Everdark Sovereign. Sounds intense? It is. And it kicks off tomorrow, July 3. Didn’t see that coming, did you?
By the way, Nightreign’s tougher on you with those beefed-up Nightlords. They’re the Everdark Sovereign now—a fancy title, right? These bosses got some new moves to mess with your rhythm, like they’re saying "Surprise!" when you’re used to their old tricks.
Oh, here’s Gnoster—he’s back and looks scarier. The new image kind of makes him look like a murderously strategic pest if that makes sense.
If you’re still with me, dive into the full rundown for update 1.01.4.
- Armament menus now flaunt weapon types.
- Fixed that matchmaking nightmare duo scenario.
- Got the “It’s Raining!” gesture issue sorted (meet conditions and voila!).
- Reviving from near-death in the third-day boss fight? Definitely patched.
- Recluse Remembrance tunes should jam right now.
- And so on…
So, if you’re still in this rabbit hole, check out the updated guide on that Revenant Remembrance quest. You won’t regret it. Or maybe you will. Who can say, right?
