Dark Souls III Patch v1.05 Released

A new patch for Dark Souls III, the latest and very likely last title in From Software’s dark fantasy action-RPG series, has been released today. The full changelog can be found on Reddit, thanks to a post from a Bandai Namco community manager. I’ll embed it below:

• Archdragon Peak: Fixed the freeze when jumping into the fog after ringing the bell.
• The Rinfinger Leonhard quest will now start properly after the removal of the restriction on the maximum number of Pale Tongues that can be offered to Rosaria, Mother of Rebirth.

• Fixed a Skill being changed based on a right hand weapon when equipping White Hair Talisman on the left hand while holding the Sacred Flame with both hands
• The Horsehoof Ring (which increases stamina drains of ATK) will no longer affect other attacks besides its initial effect on kicks.
• It will no longer be possible to equip a helm when using a Wax Pool after using the Dragon Head Stone.

Considering the vagueness of these notes (and similar notes From Software has deployed in the past), I’d recommend keeping an eye on the Dark Souls 3 sub-reddit and other similar communities to get a full idea of the scope of this patch’s changes, as the game’s most active players are very likely to test all changes and note down the minute value changes.
