Elden Ring has just weakened two strategies widely used by players to beat bosses
The latest Elden Ring update has weakened a series of strategies widely used by players to defeat certain powerful bosses. Let’s see exactly what it is.
With the arrival of Shadow of the Erdtree , FromSoftware has updated the base game of Elden Ring by changing some elements, both positively and negatively. Speaking of the latter, the development team has decided to weaken two of the tactics most used by gamers.
These are changes that will sadden some players, given that they were part of some widely used strategies to get the better of certain bosses.
What was nerfed in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
Precisely, it was explained that the weapon Long Horn of the Messenger , which can be obtained by defeating Leyndell’s messengers (the white ones), has seen a reduction in the power of its special move. This is the ability to summon a large number of small bubbles: individually they are not very powerful, but in groups they can destroy certain bosses. Damage dealt to enemy health and balance has now been nerfed. It’s unclear by how much, but it probably won’t be as useful as it used to be.

The second major change is dedicated to the Winged Cerulean Crystal Tear . This, if inserted into the prodigious balm bottle, allows you to cancel the consumption of action points (used for magic and special moves) and in practice allows you to use certain types of magic for a long time, such as Azur’s Comet which it is a continuous magic beam that is interrupted by the player or by the consumption of AP.
The Tear allowed you to perform prolonged and therefore powerful magical attacks, in fact it was often used to eliminate certain bosses in one fell swoop. Now, however, the duration of the Lacrima has been decreased. Again, we don’t have the details so it’s unclear how many seconds.
It was also asked if Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree’s new weapons will render the old ones useless: Miyazaki responded .
