Bandai Namco has released patch 1.12.3 for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, addressing the frustrating Golden Hippopotamus fight that has been plaguing players. The update adjusts the placement of bosses like Commander Gaius and the Golden Hippopotamus to prevent them from immediately barreling towards players upon entering their arenas. The patch also fixes a bug with the Golden Hippopotamus' unblockable bite attack, ensuring it connects with players as intended. This much-needed fix brings relief to players who have struggled with these challenging bosses, offering a more balanced and fair gameplay experience. With these changes, players can now approach the Golden Hippopotamus and Commander Gaius fights with a renewed sense of strategy and skill, making the gameplay more enjoyable and rewarding.
