Everybody was shocked to be taught that merely accepting a hug in Elden Ring might truly hurt you with out a lot fanfare, however it seems that’s not the one destructive factor that may occur once you’re coping with something associated to Deathbed Companions. In what is probably the funniest adjustment in Tuesday’s massive 1.06 patch, there are two bullet factors that pertain to the apparel worn by everybody’s favourite goth spouse, Fia.
I don’t know the way many individuals this truly affected in observe, however for those who ever ran round with the Deathbed Costume inside Elden Ring, you, my pal, have been enjoying on arduous mode. Up till now, carrying the darkish apparel truly made enemies discover you extra simply, even for those who have been crouched. What’s worse, for those who occurred to make use of any cost assaults whereas carrying the Deathbed Costume, ally characters would someway take injury. Uh, what? And thoughts you, a part of the merchandise description for the costume guarantees that, “The contact of the material is exceedingly comfortable, in order to not hurt even essentially the most withered corpse, whereas nonetheless sharing her heat.”
Nicely, that’s been mounted now. However the former glitch is humorous to contemplate inside each the fandom itself and the bigger lore of the sport. Fia, one of many characters you meet within the Roundtable Maintain, is a Deathbed Companion who “lays” with lifeless dudes. She would principally gather life power from champions after which channel all that wholesome vigor into the deceased, permitting them to take breath as soon as extra. You later be taught that, spoilers, Fia intends to make use of this potential to revive none apart from Godfrey himself, the primary demigod to die on the planet of Elden Ring.
At first you don’t actually know any of this. Fia simply gives you hugs and also you most likely say sure as a result of, um, it’s a hug and FromSoftware video games are evil issues the place you get punished for actually going as much as a butterfly on a cliff. Besides Fia makes use of her powers on you when she does this, which in observe implies that your most HP decreases in trade for higher poise. Whereas some thought of this an awesome betrayal, others used Fia’s powers earlier than going off on robust battles which may profit from having a barely stronger structure.
It’s virtually becoming, then, that the precise uniform worn by individuals like Fia form of messes you up, too. I imply, These Who Dwell In Dying aren’t actually pure, are they? Plus, with how a lot thirst is thrown round with regards to Fia, it kinda is smart that enemies would have a sixth sense for when the intercourse witches are roaming about. The outline for the costume does state, “Extraordinarily skinny and sheer white costume worn by the Deathbed Companion as she embraces the lifeless.” Keep in mind how knowledge miners discovered literal underwear tied to Fia that, whereas minimize from the precise sport, nonetheless had lovingly-rendered lace and small frills? Yeah.
You’ll find the Deathbed Costume inside a church residing in Leydell. Notably, the costume is a unique merchandise from the gown left behind by Fia on the finish of her quest. Nonetheless, the Deathbed Costume very actually is what Fia is carrying throughout the sport.
