Elden Ring DLC will get an update to make the game easier
What does the "calibration update" aim to change in Erdtree?
The "calibration update" for Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC aims to reduce the difficulty level by increasing the attack and damage negation of players in the first half of the game, making it easier to progress. This is achieved by adjusting the scaling of Shadow Realm Blessings, a crucial character advancement system in the DLC, which boosts players' attack and defense through the collection of Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ashes.
How does the final Blessing enhancement affect gameplay?
The final Blessing enhancement in Shadow of the Erdtree increases attack and damage negation, making players stronger1. This change is part of a calibration update aimed at reducing the game's difficulty, particularly in the early stages. The update adjusts the power curve for Blessing enhancements, frontloading more power in the first 10 levels, while the second half sees a more gradual increase1.
What effect do the first 10 levels of Scadutree Blessings have after the update?
The first 10 levels of Scadutree Blessings will grant players increased attack and damage negation, making them stronger and more resilient in the early stages of the game. This change is due to the calibration update, which aims to reduce the overall difficulty of Shadow of the Erdtree by making players more powerful.
