Elden Ring's patch 1.04 is now out, and it makes an absolutely ridiculous amount of changes to the game, most of them good. However, it seems that the update has also unintentionally broken its toughest boss fight, which is an unfortunate development for those who are nearing the end of the game.
FromSoftware decided to take a "buff everything" approach with patch 1.04, as almost everything in the update has been made more powerful, except for a handful of popular spells. Perhaps the most notable change is a flat buff to colossal weapons, making them attack faster, hit harder, and shortening their recovery time, too. As someone who beat the game with colossal weapons alone, this is a much-needed change, and it will hopefully prevent poor unga bungas like myself from having to crouch-poke our way to the Elden Throne next time.
