A year into the game’s release, Bandai Namco Entertainment has released a collection of Elden Ring statistics aggregated from player data across the game’s platforms. The infamous two-stage Malenia fight is the game’s most-attempted boss battle at 329 million attempts, and the Rock Sling Gravity Sorcery is the game’s most-cast spell. Read on for the full details of these stats, released by the developer as a “Battle Scars” infographic.

Elden Ring Stats: Most-Attempted Boss, Most Popular Spell, and More:

  • Out of the total 5.9 billion boss attempts since the game’s February 25 launch last year, Malenia, Blade of Miquella is the #1 most-attempted boss fight with 329 million attempts.
    • The game’s first major boss Margit, the Fell Omen comes in at #2 with 281 million attempts.
    • The optional Limgrave Tree Sentinel enemy (viewed by much of the community as a pick-your-battles, “come back later” enemy) is in third place with 277 million attempts.
    • The Elden Ring’s guardian Radagon of the Golden Order comes in at #4 with 148 million attempts.
    • In fifth place, the legendary Starscourge Radahn was fought 139 million times by players.
  • Players have died over nine billion times in Elden Ring, and most often to enemies and NPCs (69% of total deaths).
    • 15% of these deaths have been due to status effects (Poison, Scarlet Rot etc.).
    • 14% of these deaths are due to players falling off ledges or from great heights.
    • Surprisingly, only 2% of deaths were caused by another player in PvP.
  • Co-op accounts for 88% of the over one billion summons in Elden Ring, while invasions account for only 12% of these summons.
  • The most popular spell in Elden Ring is the Rock Sling Gravity Sorcery, likely due to its significant stance-breaking potential.

    • The early-game Glintstone Pebble Glintstone Sorcery is #3.
    • The Greatblade Phalanx Carian Sorcery comes in at #4.
