Elden Ring Nightreign’s Latest Patch Introduces Minor Nerfs and Fixes Demon Merchant Spawn Issues

Man, so earlier today, the Elden Ring Nightreign servers decided to take a little nap for an hour. Why? Maintenance for some new patch—version 1.01.2. It’s not some grand update, more like a band-aid fix. Cue sigh of relief, or was it disappointment?

Anyway, this new patch has a couple of bug fixes and, oh joy, more nerfs. Or maybe not so joyful if you’re the kind who loves exploiting bugs. One change you probably didn’t even notice—unless you live for this stuff.

Let me digress a bit—cookies, targeting—what was I saying? Right, this patch 1.01.2. It’s following last week’s 1.01.1 (kudos on the creative naming?).

Now, focus on your bows for a sec. You know, that random bug making the ‘Add (Magic/Lightning/Holy) to Weapon’ Passive Effect supercharge your physical attack? Only on bows. Big plot twist of the month. Players have been loving bows, thinking they were just that powerful. Turns out, it was a glitch. Ouch, right? Also, there’s this thing where non-direct attacks were accidentally ratcheting up your weapon’s power, which just means less chaos now. Had to fix that.

Oh yeah, there’s this image of The Recluse hanging around in Limgrave—purple sky, looking all mysterious. I mean, the aesthetic!

Back to business: They’re also fixing stuff with the loot pool. If you’re into finding the Demon Merchant in Limveld, no more headaches because apparently, the merchant kept ghosting players. Now, he’s back. Thank the gaming gods, or maybe don’t—up to you.

Quick rundown:

• Fixed that weird bow power glitch.
• Non-direct attacks got reined in.
• Loot pool for weapons got a checkmark.
• Demon Merchant? No more playing hide and seek.
• Libra and Adel bugs—what’s up with repetitive actions and game crashing during battles?

Now, here’s to hoping all this hasn’t thrown off anyone trying to unlock Nightreign’s rarest item or that elusive quest line. But hey, whether or not the servers are feeling sociable, the Elden Ring Nightreign guide is there for you, like a trusty old friend who never logs off.

And that’s the tale of the newest patch.

Got it? Or were you daydreaming about bows too?
