Summary
FromSoftware has released a new update forElden Ringin preparation for theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC that allows players to finally summon Torrent during the final boss fight against the Elden Beast.Elden Ringplayers acquire their trusty mount Torrent very early on in the game, allowing them to quickly traverse the Lands Between.
Torrent isn’t usable in manyElden Ringboss fights, but there are others where players can indeed mount their steed. One such fight that letsElden Ringplayers summon Torrent is theRadahn boss fight, one of the required bosses that players must beat if they hope to playShadow of the Erdtree. As of the latest update, there’s yet anotherElden Ringboss that can be fought while mounted on Torrent, and that is the very last boss in the game, theElden Beast.
The final boss fight inElden Ringis a two-phase battle. The first half of the fight is against Radagon, and the second-half of the battle sees players go head-to-head with the Elden Beast. The Elden Beast portion of the fight has long been criticized for how long it can take to actually run up to the creature and attack it, but that has been addressed in the new update. Afterdownloading the latestElden Ringupdate, players will be able to utilize Torrent during the final boss fight. While this may not make the boss battle all that easier, it will definitely make it less tedious, and should make players less apprehensive about the game’s climactic battle.
Elden Ring Now Lets You Use Torrent in Final Boss Fight
Of course,Elden Ringplayers may want to hold off on fighting the Elden Beast right now anyway.Accessing theElden RingDLCdoes not require players to defeat Radagon or the Elden Beast, though players do have to defeatMohg, Lord of BloodandStarscourge Radahn. Players are certainly free to fightElden Ring’s final boss, but they should be carefulnotto start a New Game+ run afterward. Doing so will put players in a fresh version of the Lands Between where they will have to defeat Mohg and Radahn all over again.
Soon, theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC will be upon us, andElden Ringplayers will be able to use Torrent as they explore the new open world area.Elden Ring’s DLC has earned rave reviewsfrom critics, and so fans of the game should definitely be excited to return to FromSoftware’s massive open world adventure.
