Old ring it recently celebrated its one-year anniversary, and Bandai Namco has now released some player stats for your consumption, including the inevitable kill count. The editor not only lists the number of times players have died for different reasons, but also reveals the most popular bosses, spells, and enchantments.
How many times have players died in Elden Ring?
Players have managed to rack up over 9 billion kills in the nearly 13 months since the game’s launch. According to death statistics, over 6.2 billion were due to enemies and NPCs, while around 180 million were due to another Elden Ring player. This caused approximately 1.26 billion players to die and 1.35 billion players to die from status effects such as Poison, Scarlet Rot, Blood Loss, Frostbite, Sleep, Madness, and Death Blight.
There have been nearly 6 billion attempts to defeat a boss in the Elden Ring. Malenia is by far the most popular of those with 329 million boss fights, with the game’s first boss Margit coming in second with 281 million and Limgrave coming in third with 277 million. Elsewhere, Rock Sling was the most popular spell, while Blessing of the Erdtree was the most acquired enchantment, perhaps as players prepare for the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
