One Secret Addition in the Latest Patch Has the Elden Ring Community in Stitches

The recent Patch for Elden Ring has brought a lot of improvements. Maybe not everything that the community wanted: some bosses are still considered too powerful, and some abilities and spells are still underperforming. One of the best changes was about the Spectral Steel Whistle, and nobody saw that coming. On that note, there is one change that absolutely has no in-game impact that the community wholeheartedly embraced.

Rellana Finally Has a Chair to Sit On

In Rellana’s boss room, players can now find a chair that wasn’t there before. In one Reddit post, started by ChiefLeef22, the fans jokingly discuss this minor addition. User ljkhadgawuydbajw said: “THANK GOD, when I fought her I couldn’t stop thinking ‘this room looks like it’s missing a chair’. Ruined the boss for me.“ with Handgrenadez adding: “Same. Immediately stopped playing the game until From fixed it”

Of course, the fans couldn’t resist combining this and making fun of the fan-favorite patch update. Comments like “If it’s anything like the other patch notes, I bet the chair does not stagger as easily.” and “Patch Notes: Added chair that will no longer stagger as easily.” are our favorite.

Some Players Try to Give Sensible Explanations

Redditor CuteDarkrai tried to bring some sense into the whole situation, saying: “I love how the only reason for this was probably because they thought it would be weird to imagine her standing there all the time.

Her arena definitely felt like the most video game area ever. A barracks where they stare at the moon or something? It’s just a boring square room. You’d expect there to be something interesting there, especially for the leader.”

On the other hand, Drowsy_Deer gave his lore-related explanation: “There’s something rather sad about this, Rellana’s boss arena has very big similarities to the Spectral Loretta arena at Caria Manor, I assume that big courtyard with all the chairs is where members of the Carian Family would come together and look at the stars, and there are dozens of chairs which clearly indicates that a massive family did this together.

But Rellana only has a single chair, she continued gazing at the stars but had no family to join her anymore, Rellana was simply indoctrinated by Marika and Messmer’s fury and gave up everything, including her family.” Kinda sad, when you think about it.

It is always refreshing when a community gives a comical spin to an unassuming change, bringing it to light. If the devs really do start adding more chairs to Rellana’s room, just for the fun of it, we are sure they will be praised by fans everywhere.
