• App Ver. 1.03
• Regulation Ver. 1.03.1

As you can see, there are a whole bunch of great additions to the Elden Ring with update 1.03. The fact that NPCs are now marked on the map will be a massive boon for those who struggle to remember where everyone lies. Also, having more summonable NPCs for battles is great. Unfortunately, with the good news comes the bad news. The most powerful Ash in the game (second only to Aurelia the Jellyfish), the Mimic Tear, is annoying.
