Okay, here goes nothing—I’m diving in!

So, it’s been a bit of a day for Elden Ring Nightreign folks. Servers went dark for a moment of maintenance, and bam, a new patch dropped. Yeah, I’m talking about the first major-ish update since launch. Kinda big news, especially if you’re going at it solo.
Patch 1.01.1. Sounds fancy, right? Anyway, let me ramble a bit on this.
First off, solo players can breathe easier now. FromSoftware finally heard the grumbling—like, why so harsh on the loners? The game’s meant for groups, sure, but why make it tougher for solo adventurers?
This update, arriving with a bunch of tweaks, gifts solo players something cool. You get a free revival once per night boss fight. Boom, just like that. No need to earn it every time—not when you’re flying solo. Team players, though… yeah, you still gotta work for it.
And there’s more! Anyone battling alone gets more runes now. Maybe because without pals, it’s kinda a grind—like, who wouldn’t want to level up faster without a crew?
But hey, don’t feel left out if you’re all about co-op. They tossed a bone your way too. Reach Day 3 in any Expedition, and snag more high-rarity Relics. Better gear, basically. And those Scenic Flat stones? Now they’re, like, jackpot central. Head to the Small Jar Bazaar if you’ve got the itch to shop.
Anyway, where was I? Right, bug fixes. Tons of them. Some camera wonkiness with “Wings of Salvation” got sorted. Not to mention a shopping list of skills and effects that were acting like diva ghosts, disappearing when needed most. Yup, there’s a long list of tweaks to sort out quirks nobody asked for.
Oh! Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty bug stuff… wait, maybe later? Nah, let’s do it quick. So, they messed with some character skills, Raids with Greataxe types, and the whole “Ghostflame Ignition” thing. You get the idea.
Changed graphic stuff too—like, invisible credits? Why not! Plus, sound bugs, performance hitches, and your basic game crashes—fixed, fixed, fixed. Steam users got their share of love too, with bug traps set for all kinds of graphics issues and that frustrating “Climb up” fail.
Anyway, if you’re itching for more Nightreign wisdom, I mean, why not peep at guides for character builds and such—you might find more juicy stuff to sink your teeth into.
And boom, done! I’m calling it a day. Or not. Whatever.
