Players on consoles and PC of Elden Ring Nightreign, a new patch is out now for download, which FromSoftware calls version 1.01.3. If you’re still playing on last-gen, this patch will show up as Elden Ring Nightreign update 1.04, and it has the same changelog as its next-gen brethren.

With the patch applied, players will now be able to obtain Madness weapons from more sources. In addition to that major change, there are also bug fixes tied to skills, relics, weapons and more.

Read on for the complete patch notes, Nightfarers.
