Elden Ring Nightreign Patch: Minor Nerfs and Timely Demon Merchant Spawns

Sure thing, here we go:

—

So, earlier today, I was just stirring my coffee, and boom — Elden Ring Nightreign servers threw in the towel for an hour. Kind of like hitting snooze, but for maintenance. Why? A new patch wiggled its way in. Version 1.01.2 — yeah, don’t expect fireworks. This one’s more like a paper cut than surgery, if you catch my drift.

Now about the patch, just a couple of bug fixes. But really, it’s all about nerfs — oh joy. Though, one of them? You probably blinked and missed it. Or maybe you didn’t. Who knows?

Anyway, last week they dropped 1.01.1 — June 2, I think it was. Felt kinda meh. This patch? Also meh. Two balance doodads are sort of a big deal-ish. First up, there was this bug. Some magic mumbo-jumbo with the ‘Add (Magic/Lightning/Holy) to Weapon’ thingy. The bows were beefed up, like superhero-style. Fun while it lasted, right?

People were all about bows lately — not sure why that stuck with me. Maybe the universe was trying to say something? Like, “Use bows they’re great now!” But then, if it was a bug… sting. Hurts just thinking about it.

And then there’s this other tweak — some weapon skills were kinda misbehaving. Non-direct attacks doing wild stuff. Quite the uninvited party, to be honest. But I guess it made some weapons feel like rockstars. Aaand now, they’ve yanked that plug too.

Oh, and there’s some fix with weapons having what the devs call “Projectile Damage Drop-Off Reduced” Passive. Can we talk about that name? Mouthful. Anyway, now these should show up in loot drops like they should. Kudos if you’re hunting down the Demon Merchant in Limveld — yeah, the guy finally shows up like he’s supposed to. Took their sweet time, didn’t they?

Totally random, but here’s the patch play-by-play:

– Magic effects were making bows into beasts. Fixed now. Sad times.
– Non-direct attack shenanigans with certain weapons stopped. Calm in the storm, folks.
– Some loot hiccups? Gone. Welcome back, forgotten treasures.
– Oh, Demon Merchant? Yep, finally on time for his own gig.
– Libra and Adel bugs? Handled, kinda (I think).

And the devs wrapped it up by saying, “Hey, more bugs might pop up!” Which is like a heads-up, but also not really? Classic.

And here’s hoping this pause didn’t mess up your plans to unearth the mysteries of Nightreign’s rarest thingamajig. Those servers go offline more than I do on weekends. But don’t worry, our guide? Solid as ever. It’s like that friend who’s always there when you need ’em.

So, yeah. Keep on questing, or bug hunting, or whatever. Life in Nightreign rolls on, one patchy step at a time.
