Elden Ring DLC's new 1.14 balance patch update hits Shadow of the Erdtree's final boss with nerfs we all knew were coming, and whacks one of the best PvP builds, too

Elden Ring.

What you need to know

  • Nearly three months after the launch of Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, developer FromSoftware has released a new 1.14 update that makes a variety of balance changes to the base game and the expansion.
  • The highlight of the patch notes is a series of nerfs made to Shadow of the Erdtree's final boss, including attack hitbox tweaks, damage and stamina damage reductions, shorter ranges on certain moves, and less cluttered visual effects to improve clarity.
  • Additionally, FromSoftware has also nerfed power stanced Spears and the Backhand Blades in PvP, made initial uncharged heavy attacks faster for most weapon movesets, and more.
  • For the full 1.14 patch notes, make sure you read the section towards the end of this article.
