Colossal weapons have been buffed. The attack speed of several Colossal Sword attacks has been increased and the recovery time is reduced, except for jump attacks, while running attacks and dual wield attacks.

The effects that improve the shields have also been adjusted. Notably, the Barricade Shield Ashes of War, Scholar’s Sheild spell, and the Shield Grease item have been changed to provide more effect on shields with low guard boost and lower impact on shields with already a high guard boost.

The fingerprint shield, also known as the strongest shield in the game, saw its guard strength nerfed in the Elden Ring’s V1.07 update.

The game also saw several bug fixes and performance updates in the new patch notes. The bug that prevented PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players from playing multiplayer mode has been removed.
