Elden Ringplayers see an extensive list of options whenresting at a Site of Grace. This menu allows them to level up, memorize spells, equip a Great Rune, and access other key gameplay systems. Users can upgrade their flasks from an option of the same name, allowing them to increase the number of flasks they carry and increase their effectiveness. Update 1.05 forElden Ringnow puts a dot next to the Flasks option in the Site of Grace menu, letting users know that an upgrade is available.
A Reddit post by 007L0L shows this quality-of-life upgrade, and it will probably serve as a helpful reminder to many users. Other players claim that this marker also appears next to important actions or events, such as talking to Melina. One user mentions that they accidentally progressed onto the path of the bad ending as they didn’t notice the option to speak to her, so it seems this feature will be helpful in similar scenarios. It also reportedly shows up whenplayers need to talk to Ranni during her quest.
While many fans seem pleased with FromSoftware adding quality-of-life changes in this update, some state other problems inElden Ringthat still need to get addressed. One user complains about the PVP experience, presumably referring to AFK rune farming that hasplaguedElden Ring’s multiplayercomponent for months. Other fans mention that FromSoftware has yet to completely fix the stuttering or crashing issues on PC. Patch 1.05 shows that FromSoftware is consistently working to improve the user experience, but it looks likeElden Ringwill need many more updates to fix these problems.
Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
