Recently, FromSoftware released a new patch for Shadow of the Erdtree, aimed at making the game more balanced and enjoyable for players. This update, known as “Calibration Update – Version 1.12.2”, focuses on enhancing the power of the Shadow Realm Blessings scattered throughout Erdtree’s areas. The patch includes improvements to both Scadutree Fragments and Revered Ash Blessings, increasing their attack and damage negation capabilities for a better gaming experience.
The latest update introduces a significant boost in the strength of Blessings right from the beginning of the game. Players will notice a substantial increase in attack and damage negation for the first half of the maximum amount of Blessing enhancements. As you progress and obtain more Blessings, the stats will gradually improve. Additionally, the attack and damage negation at the final level of these blessings have also been slightly increased, providing players with more protection and power in battles.
To access the Calibration Update, players need to log in to the multiplayer servers after booting up the game. The correct build can be identified by looking for “1.12.2” at the bottom right corner of the title menu. FromSoftware has also announced that future patches will include balance adjustments and bug fixes to further enhance the gameplay experience.
Performance Improvements
For players experiencing performance issues, the patch notes recommend checking the System > Graphics Settings > Raytracing Quality settings. If the settings have been toggled to turn on automatically, switching it off may improve the overall performance of the game. These adjustments aim to provide a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience for all players.
Upon its release, Shadow of the Erdtree received a mixed reception on Steam, mainly due to performance issues and the challenging nature of the game’s bosses. Some players found the bosses to be overly difficult, leading to frustration and a perceived imbalance in the gameplay. However, FromSoftware’s decision to lower the difficulty level through the patch has been met with mixed reactions from the gaming community.
The recent Calibration Update for Shadow of the Erdtree brings significant improvements to the game’s balance and gameplay experience. By enhancing the power of Blessings and addressing performance issues, FromSoftware aims to create a more engaging and enjoyable gaming environment for players. While some may argue that the game’s difficulty should remain challenging, the adjustments made in this update provide a more balanced and rewarding experience for all players. As you embark on your journey through Erdtree, remember to make use of the Blessings and tools available to overcome any obstacles that may come your way. With perseverance and strategic planning, victory is within reach.
