Patch 1.12.3 for Elden Ring brings numerous adjustments and, among other things, weakens some popular weapons.
Patch 1.12.3 has been released for the popular role-playing game Elden Ring, including the recently released Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, and contains some adjustments and bug fixes.
Among other things, some issues with damage scaling were fixed, which meant that otherwise challenging boss enemies could be defeated without any problems.
These adjustments mean that some weapons that are very popular with players, such as Bloodfiend’s Arm or Gazing Finger, will become significantly weaker.
Additionally, a bug has been fixed that caused boss enemies to appear in a different location, closer to the player, during the second encounter.

Possible unstable performance corrections
- On the PS5 version of the game, an unstable frame rate may be able to be improved by using the “Rebuild Database” option in the device’s Safe Mode.
- On some PC versions, Ray Tracing may be inadvertently enabled and cause unstable performance. Please check the Ray Tracing setting under “System” > “Graphics Settings” > “Ray Tracing Quality” on the title screen or in-game menu.
- In the PC version, the message “Inappropriate activity detected” can appear without cheating.
To resolve this issue, please verify the integrity of the game files before restarting the game.
- In the PC version, unstable frame rate may be caused by third-party applications that control mouse behavior. Disabling these third-party applications may improve performance.
