Elden Ring patch 1.12 has introduced the ability to summon Torrent during the RPG's final boss fight after a long two-year wait, and fans are ecstatic.
The latest update to Elden Ring brought some significant changes, including the surprising feature of allowing the player to call upon their Spectral Steed in the final showdown. Previously, players had to confront the imposing Elden Beast solely on their own two feet. However, today's patch, which precedes the release of the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, alters this by enabling Torrent to join the player during this crucial battle.
This is an unusual and substantial change for FromSoftware to implement quietly, leaving many wondering about the rationale behind modifying the Elden Beast encounter in such a way. This update will undoubtedly alter many players' strategies, as they can now maneuver swiftly around the arena on Torrent, attacking the Elden Beast from a distance with spells if desired.
There was no prior notification from FromSoftware about this unexpected addition to the new patch. Last week, they announced that the patch would launch today, bringing several new features to the RPG, such as five new hairstyles for your character and the ability for activated Summoning Pools to persist across multiple adventures in The Lands Between.
The community is already expressing their approval on social media. One user highlights the excitement, while another enthusiastically comments on the epic nature of the update. The feedback from the players is overwhelmingly positive.
