Elden Ring update 1.15 has been available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on October 2, 2024, bringing several bug fixes and performance improvements for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Looming largest among all the corrections are those for the Golem Fist – the weapon was much less effective than intended by the developers due to several bugs affecting it, which even made it deal no damage at all under some circumstances. All of these issues have been solved, so a re-evaluation of the weapon may be in order.
