So you're wondering why you've suddenly been reduced to 50% HP while trying to explore The Great Hollow map? Elden Ring Nightreign 's new Shifting Earth event has a special (and somewhat annoying) mechanic called the ' crystal curse ', which inflicts a half-health reduction whenever you enter the castles or ruins in each corner of the map.
