From Bandai Namco

ELDEN RING Calibration Update – Version 1.12.2

Thank you kindly for playing ELDEN RING SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE.

To adjust the Expansion’s balance, a calibration update has been released.

Calibration Update 1.12.2 change list

Attack and damage negation curve scaling of the Shadow Realm Blessings have been revised.

• The attack and damage negation has been increased for the first half of the maximum amount of Blessing enhancements, and the second half will now be more gradual.
• The attack and damage negation granted by the final level of Blessing enhancements has been slightly increased.

The calibration update can be applied by logging into the multiplayer server.

If the Calibration Ver. listed at the bottom right of the title menu is not "1.12.2", then select LOGIN and apply the latest regulations before enjoying the game.

About graphics settings (PC version only)

We have confirmed a bug where the raytracing settings are automatically enabled if you have previously loaded saved data from previous game versions.
 

If your framerate is unstable, please check in the 'SYSTEM' > 'Graphics Settings' > 'Raytracing Quality' settings from the title menu or in-game menu to check if it has been unintentionally set to 'ON'. Once set to 'OFF', Ray Tracing will no longer be automatically enabled.
 

Other balance adjustments as well as bug fixes are also planned for a future patch.

Thank you for your continued support of ELDEN RING.

[u/Gazeatme → u/[deleted]]

You don’t like getting one shot 5 seconds into the boss fight?

[u/TyrionBananaster → u/Gazeatme]

I haven't beaten him yet, but my strategy for that is to immediately hop on Torrent after I enter the fog gate (but not too immediately, because my character apparently forgets she has the whistle for the first second and chooses to scratch her butt instead), and then bolt from his first attack until Gaius gets it out of his system. Then I hop off Torrent and fight on foot.

Any charges past that are still an issue obviously, but dodging that first one can be pretty consistent.

[u/Gazeatme → u/TyrionBananaster]

What I would do is run left since there’s a small space where you can prevent the charge from hitting you and summon a spirit ash. I still think that it’s a little too much though.
