Elden Ring patch 1.04.1 fixes Malenia co-op bug, among other changes

Elden RingFromSoftware, a developer, released Wednesday’s fix for the game. This update addresses an unfortunate change to Malenia Blade of Miquella (a notoriously challenging boss) who had never lost – an issue that has been causing a lot of grief. It’s not. Never.) Her ability to heal herself has been restored to her original condition, so she must actually hit people with her sword to restore health.

This month, players discovered that patch 1.04 was available. Elden RingMalenia introduced a new bug to affect players who were summoned to assist others in cooperative play. If Malenia attacked a summoned player, regardless of whether she made contact with them, she’d restore her own health. That was not FromSoftware’s intention, nor was it how she behaved in previous versions of the game.

The rest of Wednesday’s update (version 1.04.1, officially) addresses the following issues, as noted in Bandai Namco’s patch notes below.
