Elden Ring’s Most Challenging Boss Revealed on Its First Anniversary

Elden Ring, the action role-playing game produced by FromSoftware, has marked its first anniversary. The celebrated game boasts a challenging gameplay experience, breathtaking animations, and exciting boss fights. As players continued to explore the vast world of Elden Ring, they discovered the most challenging parts of the game and some interesting statistics that surprised them.

Malenia Emerges as the Most Challenging Boss

According to data shared by FromSoftware, Malenia, a boss in Elden Ring, emerged as the most challenging part of the game. Players attempted to fight her 329 million times leading to a lot of frustration and rage quitting. Malenia defeated players at an average rate of ten per second since the game’s launch, which left them stunned.

Margit the Fell Omen Proves to be a Tough Fight

Margit the Fell Omen proved to be a tough fight despite being the first major fight in Elden Ring. Players tried taking Margit down 291 million times before finally defeating her.

Players Died Mostly from Enemies and NPCs

The data revealed that 69 percent of player deaths were due to enemies and Non-Playable Characters (NPCs), while player versus player kills were only at 2 percent.

Spells and Incantations Used Most Frequently

The most cast spell in the game was Rock Sling, followed by Blessing of the Erdtree as the most acquired incantation. A vast majority of players were running similar builds which included commonly-used spells and incantations.

Complex Builds and Mechanics

Many players revealed that they were several hours into Elden Ring before realizing they could upgrade their flask. This highlights how complex builds are in this game. As a result, players who struggle with the complexity could quickly find themselves struggling to progress.

Shadow of the Erdtree – The Highly Anticipated DLC

FromSoftware announced their upcoming Elden Ring expansion called Shadow of the Erdtree, which has generated excitement among players worldwide. Fans are eagerly waiting to get their hands on it, hoping it will continue to challenge them and provide a satisfying gameplay experience.

Criticism and Admiration of Boss Fights

Some players have criticized the mechanics of the Malenia boss fight and especially the Scarlet Rot nuke that starts the second phase. However, others admire the pretty boss fights and animations, even though they can lead to their demise.

Final Thoughts

Elden Ring challenges its players at every turn with impressive boss fights, difficult mechanics, and a vast world to explore. As evidenced by the statistics shared on Elden Ring’s first anniversary, there is still a lot for players to explore and understand about this game. Whether fighting Margit, taking on Malenia, or preparing for Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, Elden Ring remains one of the most challenging games out there today.
