Everybody was shocked to study that merely accepting a hug in Elden Ring may truly hurt you with out a lot fanfare, nevertheless it seems that’s not the one unfavorable factor that may occur while you’re coping with something associated to Deathbed Companions. In what is maybe 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.

Up till now, sporting the darkish apparel truly made enemies discover you extra simply, even in case you had been crouched. What’s worse, in case you occurred to make use of any cost assaults whereas sporting the Deathbed Costume, ally characters would someway take injury. Uh, what? And thoughts you, a part of the merchandise description for the gown guarantees that, “The contact of the material is exceedingly tender, in order to not hurt even probably the most withered corpse, whereas nonetheless sharing her heat.”
Nicely, that’s been fastened now. However the former glitch is humorous to think about inside each the fandom itself and the bigger lore of the sport.

Besides Fia makes use of her powers on you when she does this, which in follow implies that your most HP decreases in alternate for higher poise. Whereas some thought of this an amazing betrayal, others used Fia’s powers earlier than going off on powerful battles that may profit from having a barely stronger structure.
It’s virtually becoming, then, that the precise uniform worn by folks 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 in terms of Fia, it kinda is smart that enemies would have a sixth sense for when the intercourse witches are roaming about. The outline for the gown does state, “Extraordinarily skinny and sheer white gown worn by the Deathbed Companion as she embraces the lifeless.” Bear in mind how knowledge miners discovered literal underwear tied to Fia that, whereas lower from the precise recreation, nonetheless had lovingly-rendered lace and small frills? Yeah.
