Elden Ring's latest patch targets several bugs that have been affecting gameplay, specifically within the game's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. A bug that caused the Death status ailment from the " 
Death Flare Skill" to be applied to the "Deadly Poison Spray" has been fixed, as well as a bug that caused the power of the 
Red Bear NPC to be higher than intended. Players will encounter a wide range of NPCs during their Elden Ring journey, with quite a few popular characters added as part of Shadow of the Erdtree.
Also addressed in Elden Ring's August update is a bug that kept players from invading other worlds while in certain areas of Scadu Altus, a new location in Shadow of the Erdtree. Multiplayer has also been changed in the new patch, solving a bug that allowed cooperative play in some portions of Scadu Altus despite there being no bosses present in the area. Just like the base game, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree pits players against challenging bosses, some of which are considered to be the hardest in FromSoftware's history.
Despite Shadow of the Erdtree selling incredibly well, developers have stated that the expansion is likely the last for Elden Ring. The FromSoftware team has expressed deep gratitude for the reception of the DLC but stated that there are no plans to create any more additional content for the game, indicating that Shadow of the Erdtree marks the finish line for the popular title. Thankfully, Shadow of the Erdtree is massive in both scope and scale, providing Elden Ring players with dozens of hours of new content to explore and enjoy.
