If you’ve conquered Radahn in Shadow of the Erdtree, well done | you’ve earned those splendid gray locks. Patch 1.14 is out, significantly nerfing what has been the main source of frustration for many players.
Players who have engaged in the “updated” battle with Radahn report that the boss now inflicts less damage, and his attacks don’t deplete the protagonist’s stamina as severely. Additionally, the attack range has been reduced, and it appears the developers have eliminated superfluous animations that used to confuse players, hindering their ability to quickly learn the boss’s patterns.
The developers have indicated that they altered Radahn’s behavior patterns at the start of the fight and fine-tuned some of his attacking moves. Indeed, the adjustments to animations and the reduction in damage are the key updates in patch 1.14.
Generally, defeating the final boss has become easier, which is evident as those who conquered it before the new patch are now lamenting on social media, claiming they are the true gamers, while suggesting that Shadow of the Erdtree will henceforth be played only by casuals. The changes introduced in patch 1.14 are detailed in the provided link.
It’s significant to note that FromSoftware has previously lightened the Shadow of the Erdtree add-on for Elden Ring. In June, a patch was released for the action RPG that fine-tuned the balance of Blessings.
The Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree was released on June 21, 2024. Journalists were highly impressed with the add-on, awarding it 95 out of 100 points, making it the highest-rated DLC in the site’s history.
