Elden Ring Releases New Hotfix to Patch Malenia

Plenty of gamers have been enjoying Elden Ring since it launched in February. With punishing combat traditionally associated with other FromSoftware RPGs, and a new setting developed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin, Elden Ring has earned its reputation as being one of the best games of 2022 so far, being one of the most well-reviewed games of all time. However, Elden Ring is not perfect, and receives constant patches and updates to fix things within the game.

The most recent patch, 1.04, fixed two of Elden Ring's most notorious glitches. First, it dealt with a bug that saw players having to hit illusory walls 50 or so times before they could pass through them. The patch also fixed a problem with bleed dogs, which were dishing out an absurd amount of damage. However, even with these bugs fixed, players were still running into problems with other elements of Elden Ring, leading to FromSoftware dropping another hotfix for the game.

Patch 1.04.1 looks to fix a few major issues in Elden Ring. Firstly, it changed how the Cerulean Hidden Tear effect worked. Also, the hotfix is stopping some bosses from dying at unintended times, and fixing the «Elden Beast» to stop it from working properly. There are some text fixes as well but perhaps what players will likely notice first is the change to Malenia, Blade of Miquella. Malenia is one of the most infamous bosses in Elden Ring, and players find her to be one of the most difficult too.

Malenia's quick attacks leave the player little time to dodge out of the way. Perhaps more annoying than her attacks themselves is the fact that her hits will steal life from the player and heal her. This
