Elden Ring patch 1.06 improves co-op and buffs large weapons
Elden Ring was a smashing success right out of the gate, but that hasn’t stopped developer FromSoftware from trying to improve upon it in the months since.

Previously, players could only complete this quest by participating in a specific number of multiplayer invasions, but now they can defeat a new NPC to achieve the same outcome.
