drop dead to Malenia is a rite of passage
If you spent the better half of a Clarence Day dying to Malenia , Blade of Miquella , who has never get laid defeat , you ’re not alone . Bandai Namco has just release stats play up just how many sentence the Tarnished have died to Elden Ring ’s iconic bosses to keep Elden Ring ’s one - year anniversary .
And what better mode to observe than to reminisce on how many time were skewered , crush , and otherwise humiliated ?

Elden Ring Stats Reveals the Biggest Cause of Player Death in the Lands Between
All in all , players engage one of the many bosses of Elden Ring 5.9 billion prison term since launch . Of those billion , Malenia was the one players threw themselves against the most , garnering 329 million try . A huge number , considering that Malenia is an optional boss that postulate significant workplace to get to .
The other four top boss attempts are :
It ’s unsurprising to see Margit the Fell Omen and Limgrave Tree Sentinel top the list , as they ’re some of the first boss any player encounter . But once those party boss are conquered ( or avoided , in the pillow slip of the Limgrave Tree Sentinel ) , actor seem to follow Elden Ring to its epic and branching conclusions .

But there is one killer that ’s even big than Malenia . Over 9 billion deaths were due to non - bosses in Elden Ring , with 69 % of those deaths being attributed to enemies and NPCs , 15 % being cause by status effects like Poison and Scarlet Rot , 14 % being cause by Falls , and 2 % being due to other instrumentalist .
I wonder how many of those falling destruction were on the Haligtree on the way to Malenia ? Or how many of those Scarlet Rot dying were in Caelid … Malenia ’s death cost is likely much higher than we might think .
But Elden Ring is n’t just about dying ( a luck ) . It ’s also about ushering in a new age , which might be hinted at in Elden Ring ’s teased DLC : Is that Miquella in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree ? .
