Elden Ring It got a free PvP expansion with update 1.08, released on December 7th, which opened up three coliseums in Between Lands, all ready for your spilled blood. After a long vacation (I hadn’t touched it since the spring, I had to experience other games with in-universe plumbing), I then returned to FromSoftware’s open world to test it out, and I was surprised by how much there was. fun Not exactly a “PvP person”, but I had.
Each coliseum has a different type of conflict, all empty and rather unusual battlefields in Limgrave, Leyndell and Caelid. Leyndell’s Royal Colosseum includes a non-respawning 1v1 “Duel Mode”, Limgrave Colosseum offers a 2v2 “United Combat” with respawn or a “Combat Stordeal” free-for-all with respawn, and the Caelid Colosseum has the previously mentioned modes with added extras. Ability to summon Spirit Ashes.

Along with the colosseums, the update includes several necessary balance changes (and five new but Eurocentric hairstyles), which I think helps level the playing field despite a few instant deaths on my end. Anyway, I’ll collect my scattered bones and tell you what you need to know. Elden RingPvP update.
How can I log in? Elden RingPvP coliseums?
Tricky FromSoftware wouldn’t let you have your Roman fun this easily – you’d have to break the sparks before you eat. But unlocking all three coliseums isn’t difficult as long as you know where to go.

- Limgrave Coliseum: From the Warmaster’s Shack bounty location, head north to the circular building (aka the Colosseum) on the beach. Open the main door and touch the Marika stake inside to enter the match.
- Lyndell Coliseum: Start in Leyndell, the capital of grace, and head southwest until you’re behind a dead dragon. Jump over the debris, climb the ladder, continue straight, then head west along the mountain path until you reach the large gates. Open them and touch Marika’s image.
- Caelid Colosseum: It is necessary to start a little secretly Deep Siofra Well grace site. Ride your horse west around the mountain pass, past the big guys who try to kill you with giant arrows, and behind the big, disappointed-looking pitcher. Open the door there, touch the statue.
After entering all three coliseums for the first time, they will become available for fast travel. Go to the Round Table – the small statue of Marika to the right of the fireplace in the main room will let you choose your battle mode and location.
What balance changes should I expect?
FromSoftware changed the power of some builds, so the fixation of players became active tension weapons definitely reduce it. According to to update recordsthese are the following coliseum balance changes:
- Offensive weapons have reduced counterattack damage
- Some weapon types reduce their shielding effectiveness for attacks made with the shield raised
- Straight Swords, Climbing Swords, Heavy Swords, Curved Swords, Axes, Spears, Twin Swords, Katanas all have reduced pose damage.
- Animal Sling also reduces pose damage (but people still love to spam it!)
- Current Slicer is less powerful
What is the best PvP build right now?
Currently, there is no construction above the others. People tremble, letting Spirit Ashes care for each other In “Pokémon” battles and leave you alone their black magic.
Since one-shots are dominant, I’d recommend that you choose ranged, ultra-powerful attacks that can hold their own. Like Dragonfire, Falling Starsand Giantsflame take youor as a weapon Twin blades gold on a curved sword.
And if I really had to pick the best build…not pure power, I’ll tell you that much. My Greathammer-wielding, level 134 character died instantly trying to get close to some mages, and I found that fast, blood-letting, and agility-boosting weapons were the most popular. Weak power weapons struggle against them, though I was able to take out opponents in three hits when they finally let me get in a few hits.
But, I don’t know, I had fun even when I lost. Of course, it’s fun to try out in password-protected battle rooms that you can coordinate with your friends. For example, I forced my friend to fight only with a torch and learned that torch pole is punished more than Torch. I found this too the Scorpion’s Stinger, which causes decay It’s funny to beat him up when you agree to a bare fist fight. Now you have learned too.
I wouldn’t worry about what attacks should be considered “toxic” or OP or recommended builds or anything – it’s a really relaxing update and more than anything I think you should try to enjoy yourself.
