Even in 2026, remains the "apex predator" of action RPGs. Whether you are a veteran returning for the nostalgia or a newcomer stepping into Lothric for the first time, the current state of the game—specifically Version 1.15 with its two massive expansions—is the definitive way to play. What’s New in Patch 1.15?
: This version addressed long-standing glitches, such as unintended boss invasions and infinite item use exploits.
: The infamous "Pestilent Mercury" was renamed to Pestilent Mist . Don't let the name change fool you; it still deals percentage-based damage, making it a "cheese" staple for high-HP bosses like Darkeater Midir.
While FromSoftware has moved on to Elden Ring , Version 1.15 (and its subsequent technical 1.15.2 PC update ) finalized the game's balance and stability. Key changes you’ll notice include:
: Significant adjustments were made to weapon scaling (like Anri’s Straight Sword ) and the efficiency of heavy armor, which now weighs less and provides better defense. The Two DLCs: A Journey’s End
