Patch 1.05 has arrived on Elden Ring. With it, several elements have been added to FromSoftware's video game production, and as always, many bugs have been fixed. Let's discover together the main additions to the game!
The Improved NG+ Store
Common practice in the "Souls" series and video games in general, the New Game Plus (NG+) system allows you to start the game again after finishing the game, keeping certain things from your previous game. It is thus possible for the Shardless to restart Elden Ring, and experience a different adventure. This update therefore concerns the cinerary pearls as well as their link with the NG+ store.
From now on, the advantages of cinerary pearls are transferred to NG+ (for the majority of them). This means you can continue to gain their benefits in your next playthrough of Elden Ring, so you'd better make sure you donate all the ones you have before you start your NG+ run.
Invasion sound effects
Patch 1.05 brings with it a feature that will be very useful to players desperately looking for signs to summon other players for help in defeating certain bosses.
Now, when your Shatterless passes a player summon sign, a sound effect will play, warning you that you can call for help as well. Of course, this effect also works for signs calling for a duel, so watch out for yourself.
Improved Grace Site Menus
This feature was added by FromSoftware to notify players when they have new items to use at a Grace Site.
For example, if you've collected some Golden Seeds or Tears of Life, you'll now see a small glowing dot appear next to those items when you rest at a Grace Site, so you know you can upgrade your gear/items . This means that all players who have new upgrades to use will see them distinctly when they level up.
