Elden Ring 1.03 Patch Notes Round-Up

Although some fixes have been implemented, the biggest takeaways from the below patch notes are nerfing of effective gradual damage such as Bleed Damage and reducing the effects of Mimic Tear Spirit Ash.

Also, we’re sorry to inform players that they can no longer obtain the Ragged Armour set from the game which was mistakenly obtainable in Elden Ring v 1.02. Although it’s been deleted from the game, we’re not sure why considering it has a full stat loadout and is ready for players to use. We can only assume this will be included in future downloadable content or in future NPC updates.

Speaking of which, there are multiple improvements to NPC too, including allowing more summonable ones available in various situations. There are some new NPCs too such as Jar-Bairn, find out more about him here. There’s also a new feature allowing players to make notes on the map where an NPC is located, a god send of a feature.

There are plenty of points to pour over with this latest update, which is doubling as a half-decent free content drop too. Here are the full patch notes below:
