“Somewhere, a major rune has broken…” What does this notification change in Elden Ring Shadow of the ErdTree?

It's been a week since Shadow of the ErdTree, the DLC for Elden Ring, was released. According to Bandai Namco, five million “Dull” have passed through the gates of the kingdom of shadows. Perhaps you are one of those tourists eager for curiosity about this new region. You then beat Rellana, Knight of the Twin Moons and arrived at the gates of the black castle, the place to be and the crossroads of the entire area. That's when a notification comes to interrupt your peaceful peril.

Somewhere, a major rune has broken…
As well as a powerful enchantment.

At the time, it was difficult to know to what extent this notification had an impact on our trip. But about a week later, we understood that it had at a minimum two direct consequences. The first, and many will have noticed it, is that it causes a change in behavior in certain characters encountered previously. Thollier, Moore or Ledabounce on this “news” and have new dialogues. These suggest the triggering of their own quests, each of which has an influence on the end of the game. This broken major rune is therefore essential to follow their stories.

It is therefore imperative to trigger this notification by going to the edges of the black castle if you want to advance in the character quest or go to the coffin crack. The latter is a zone in its own right, including the major boss Putricide Knight as well as the end of Thollier's quests. It is also possible to recover a very useful faith incantation with Halos of light overlap since the boss that follows her has a weakness to all holy damage.
