elden ring update: now summon torrent against elden beast

FromSoftware's latest Elden Ring update, released on June 20, 2024, introduces the ability to summon the Spirit Steed Torrent during the Elden Beast boss fight, addressing long-standing player frustrations about the game's final boss. Previously, players criticized the Elden Beast encounter for its massive arena size and the boss's frequent teleportation, which resulted in tedious chases instead of engaging combat. This change, along with other updates, comes just before the launch of the highly anticipated expansion, "Shadow of the Erdtree," set to release on June 21, 2024.

How does summoning Torrent change the Elden Beast boss fight?

Summoning Torrent during the Elden Beast fight allows players to cover the large area more quickly and efficiently, making the battle less about chasing the boss and more about direct engagement. This improvement is expected to enhance the overall experience and address player frustrations with the original design.

Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware and directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, launched in February 2022 and quickly became a landmark RPG known for its vast open world, challenging combat, and deep lore. The game received critical acclaim and numerous awards, solidifying its place as one of the premier titles in modern gaming. The upcoming "Shadow of the Erdtree" expansion promises to add a wealth of new content and challenges, continuing the legacy of its successful predecessor.
