Elden Ring Shadow of Erdtree Gets a 'Calibration Update' in an Effort to Address Difficulty

Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have rolled out a new “calibration update” for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, in an effort to address complaints that the new expansion is too hard, even by From standards.

The small patch follows hot on the heels of last week's v1.12 update, and offers a couple of minor balancing tweaks. “Attack and damage negation curve scaling of the Shadow Realm Blessings has been revised,” the patch notes state.

• The attack and damage negation has been increased for the first half of the maximum amount of Blessing enhancements, and the second half will now be more gradual.
• The attack and damage negation granted by the final level of Blessing enhancements has been slightly increased.

Basically, Scadutree Fragments now do a bit more, which ought to make your fraught journey through Elden Ring Shadow of Erdtree a little less arduous. Good luck out there!

A calibration update has been released for #ELDENRING Shadow of the Erdtree.
