Update Elden Ring Patch August 2024
Prior to Tuesday’s update, version 1.13 of Elden Ring, the game’s pop-up menu that asked whether you wanted to summon Torrent or, say, the drake warrior Igon defaulted to “Cancel.” Now, more than two years into Elden Ring’s life, FromSoftware has made that default choice be “OK.” This small change will be huge for Elden Ring players, once they break the muscle memory of FromSoft’s previous implementation, and should make certain boss fights just a teensy bit easier.

Here are the relevant patch notes for that UI update:
- Changed the default selection of the OK / CANCEL prompt that shows up when using the “Spectral Steed Whistle” while the spectral steed is dead. The default selection position is now OK.
- Adjusted the placement of NPC summon signs in certain boss fight areas.
- Changed the NPC summon signs in certain boss fights to allow the user to summon NPCs simply by pressing the action button once.
In addition to this massive menu buff, Elden Ring’s latest patch also powers up some previously unimpressive spells. The incantations Minor Erdtree and Rain of Fire, added in Shadow of the Erdtree, seem to have benefited the most from FromSoftware’s latest round of changes; the former actually heals allies commensurate with its high Faith requirements and the latter does an incredible amount of damage to fire-vulnerable enemies.
