Elden Ring’s 1.08 Colosseum Update

Date:

Here are all the details for Elden Ring’s new Colosseum Update!


Are you not Entertained?

After just under a year of release, Elden Ring finally gets its first major content update. While there have been rumors for quite some time now that there’ll be a DLC for Elden Ring and apparently, From Software also has other titles in the works (let us hope it’s a new Armored Core). The first update that just rolled out with patch 1.08 comes with some adjustments for balance and a newly introduced matched PvP system.

The three colosseums scattered around in the Lands Between finally open their doors. The one you enter will determine the kind of ruleset you’re fighting under. But let’s explain the basics first, players can enter a colosseum either alone or with friends and if you decide to use a password, you’ll be able to match against or with friends. So there is already a whole lot of potential now to run dedicated nightclubs and events. Now let’s go over all the rulesets:

If you enter the Limgrave Colosseum, you’ll be participating either solo or in a team. Players will compete against each other for points under the pressure of a timer. Points I earned by killing another player and the player with the highest score win the match. All contestants will also continuously respawn throughout the match, which means there is ample opportunity for risky play.

In the Leyndell Colosseum, players will be matched in a straight one-on-one duel. There are no revives and the player who gets the kill first wins the match.

The Caelid Colosseum (the one behind the giant pot) is also centered around one-on-one duels with no revives but allows players to summon Spirit Ashes for more chaotic battles.

Then there are the following adjustments that apply to the new PvP mode:

  • Reduced thrusting weapons counterattack damage.
  • Reduced guard efficiency when attacking with your shield up for some weapon types.
  • The poise damage of the following weapons have been reduced (Weapon Arts poise damage remains unchanged):
    • Straight Swords / Thrusting Swords / Heavy Thrusting Swords / Curved Swords / Axes / Spears / Twinblade Swords / Katanas
  • Reduced the poise damage of the Incantation Bestial Sling.
  • Reduced the power of the Spell Carian Slicer.

And for the sake of completion, here is the rest of the 1.08 Patch notes:
