The once-difficult Boss Valkyrie in The Elden Ring is now trickier.
This is thanks to a bug in the latest update that causes Valkyrie Mikaela's blade, Marenia, to bleed herself back when other players are summoned to help.
The bug was discovered by now legendary player Let Me Solo Her, who often leaves a summon sign outside the boss battle to help those who want to work hard to defeat the famous female boss.
A YouTube video from a player shows the problem, and Marinoya could have returned the blood on her own, but only when it hits the player. Now, if other players are summoned, she can heal herself at any time to return blood, which is simply the undead demon.
Recent updates have deliberately weakened spells against the Valkyrie II Moth Swarm, a popular tactic previously used against Marionia. In addition, other balance adjustments are included in the new version.
If you're tangling with the Valkyrie boss in Eldon's Ring of Law, be sure to keep an eye out for issues with this new version.
