More than 20 million players have tried their hand at Elden Ring, and now, one year after the release of FromSoftware’s open-world Soulsborne game, we finally know which boss caused the most trouble. It was Malenia, of course. Players attempted to defeat her a staggering 329 million times, although it’s impossible to say how many of those attempts were solely from the Elden Ring legend “Let Me Solo Her.”
Publisher Bandai Namco released this statistic, along with several others, to celebrate the first anniversary of the 2022 Game of the Year. While the infographics don’t reveal how many times Malenia actually killed players, it’s safe to assume that she was responsible for the most failed attempts, given that simply reaching her can be a challenge. Traversing the hidden areas and high-level enemies blocking the way is not for the faint of heart.
The second-most-attempted boss was Margit the Fell Omen, which is somewhat amusing since he’s only the first major fight in the game. While challenging, especially for players who are just starting to get their bearings and develop more powerful character builds, it’s also likely a testament to how early he appears. It would be surprising if many of the 20 million players who purchased Elden Ring gave up before even encountering him, which makes Malenia’s number one spot all the more impressive.
