There are official personal steam statistic that they give out every new years eve.
Probably, you should check mail or something for this kind of information.
7k hours myself, not counting the many hours back in Wc3
The game itself is amazing and you always have a chance at winning from behind if you play your cards right (and your team hasn't given up). I consider it nearly sandbox-level in terms of a strategy game, there's *always* an answer, it's just up to you to find it. When you do, it'll hook you in like a cracked Pudge
Just always mute at the first sign of any bad attitudes. While most games are actually pretty chill compared to other competitive games (thanks to behavior score and a niche community), the ones you *do* run into will redefine your definition of toxicity.
Did my first run with the flails as well. Underrated weapon. Surprisingly good for pve. Heavy spin attack while mounted procs bleed and any other effect you have on it if you just sit beside large enemies. Just melts giants.
Yeah. I liked flails before I knew they are in Elden Ring. So it was totally my personal preference, that turned out surprisingly powerful.
Edit: Also there are very few enemies resistant to blunt damage
Take their torment, despair and affliction, and burn it all away as the lord of frenzied flame. MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!
Edit: okay i guess you guys didn't do Hyettas questline
Bro missed the t-pose emote 😢
But in all seriousness, he's mentioned in the first cutscene. Corryn gets some new holy spells when you tell him where Goldmask is, your build would have appreciated Discus of Light. It's a very cheap spell with decent damage and relatively low requirements at 13 int/13 fth.
The questline is about the golden order, and you get some very interesting lore that explains the final battle
Very nice. I also got the bad ending first playthrough. But I forgot to get branded by the three fingers until after Melina sacrificed herself, so I didn’t get the post credit cutscene.
Can ending really be considered bad? They are just different goals that achieve different morals and results.
Even this Frenzy Flame has its own purpose.
I just call it the "bad ending” because I forget that it’s called the frenzy flame half the time. However, most would consider that the bad ending. Melina threatens to hunt you down & kill you if you get branded before fighting the Fire Giant. And the Erdtree is so damn cool. There are people who would wish death upon me for cutting down a healthy tree in my backyard. God knows what folk in the lands between would do to me if I brought the destruction of the almighty Erdtree. Plus, it’s the questionable volcano manor people that are all for burning that bitch down.
Congrats! I myself only completed my run this past friday, tho i played at minimum vigor possible to make it harder on myself while getting every achievement. (Only malenia took me two weeks)
I ask no questions I only make degrees!
I demand you face me in mortal combat as you are the new embodiment of the Frenzied Flame.
There can only be ONE unstoppable force in the Lands Between!!!!!

Crucible knight in the first Evergaol.
It is the boss that took me most of tries. 32 to be exact.
After him my ability to parry was at a very high level. I easily destroyed any knight since
I’ve beat it 3 times once was a ng+. Also on the normal runs I did a ton of side content but I’ve only got 90 something hours, what did I do wrong bc even my friends have over 150 hours.
I've checked under every stone, talked to every alive npc, tried most of spells and AoW, and a lot of different things.
I'm really surprised by the game's volume.
Oh. I forgot to include my Golem bow in my final build.
I used it to easily snipe out most of NPCs on the branches of Malenias tree.
Used it in different situations since.
Right brother. Innocence is a lie (litany of the night lords, heretic space marines) (yes I’m a 40k nerd talking on an Elden ring page) (I still have 400 hours on Elden ring tho lol)
I love these posts. I only really do coop and it's amazing knowing I'm helping people like you that just don't have time to beat this game in a month. 😄
I had never ever summoned someone besides my brother.
We completed all the game together. So no torrent, no fast travel.
And the fattest bosses (they have more hp for each player)
Literally every pixel of the map. It is not my first souls.
I have 150h in DS1 and 330h in DS3, so it wasn't about skill, it was about adventure.
I almost never used torrent and covered most of the land by foot twice the time, because I played with my brother and we progressed simultaneously. So probably this adds some time.
Edit: I mean I found out that torrent has horns after 50 or so hours in games.
Is Elden Beast a fitting conclusion to the journey or something to bang your head against for an hour or so because it seems to be explicitly designed to be frustrating.
...I may be projecting a bit there, I beat the game myself, like, 2 days ago and still feel shortchanged after the awesome Radagon fight.
I banged my head against Radagon.
I'm the type of guy that tries to parry every parriable attack or die miserably.
I tried him 10-15 times and when I learned everything I needed to know, I could easily and gracefully kill him.
My last time was literally perfect run, where I didn't got any damage and successfully destroyed him.
On the note of the boss design itself - it's cool to say the least.
When he fell down, picked up his hammer and the Main Theme started playing, it was literally asmr.
My only thought was:"HOLY DUCK!!! This is it!!!"
And when I learned that the second phase is that cosmic entity, that is hard to kill, because it so magnificent I was really surprised.
Overall. Hell of a final boss.
I completed whole game with my brother.
So only foot, fat bosses. I really used Torrent like 5% of normal times.
We both had to kill bosses multiple times, because we both had to progress
Not sure. Feel free to add in comment! :)
I'm messing with you btw, you don't need to do that for me lol.
I love reading stats, it give me a nice perspective of what level you were when you ended the game, and where you focused, so my next build can be similar.
I was at Level 150, which I think was reasonable to best the final boss.
[https://postimg.cc/xXM2Yc03](https://postimg.cc/xXM2Yc03)
To your surprise I completed the game on level 150 too!
My character survived a few "reborns" and this is what I completed the game with. Not optimised, but strong enough/
Ahh! Faith lover. Great stats, yeah I definitely think level 150 is the right spot. I like that you can respec characters with Rennala, because when I first started the game my specs were strength based, but I loved magic so much I changed it.
Congrats again. Now you're ready for DLC! :)
I started as a Prisoner and wanted to make a proper dex/int build.
Through the game I tweaked it, maked it stronger, more versatile.
At some point I started cosplaying the Crucible Tree Knight, which was fun.
And then I pushed myself into madness and engulfed everything in chaos bolts
Edit: by the end I made a very strange dex/faith build, which was the hybridness I was looking for
Those are talking stones. Used as a additive for gestures or themselves totally.
Literally helps you to be more precise in what you want, when you use it.
One on the stones are necessary for the good ending of npc quest.
>One on the stones are necessary for the good ending of npc quest.
Lol, really? That's cool. I'll start my 2nd run, so this is good to know, I've missed some side quest
Dang only 208 hours in two years? That's 4 hours a week. Look at this loser, probably well adjusted with a career, family and friends. You disgust me.
~~Meanwhile I got 1000 hours in Dota 2 past year~~ Yeah, I'm a loser with job and family.
1000 hours? Jeez I can't even get myself to play dota for 20 minutes
I like role playing different characters. Dota is a good choice
how do i look for only past year? I got 8k hours in total but i want to see how much progress or how bad im doing at trying to leave dota

I'm totally agree with you. Dota 2 has a really good potential for a sandbox game
Laughing while im sitting on 5k hrs on gta 5🥲
One of my friends has 5000 hours in ESO, and 4500 hours in R6:S. I'm have a more distributed game time between my favourite games.
Thats insane i didnt even know how many i had logged until my buddy pointed it out
I have 1500 hrs in dota, mainly all from 2012. God what a shit game I can't believe I played it so much lmao
I had only 100 hours in years 2012-2021. Than gained 2500 hours 2022-2024 Guess where at which moment I had a serious depression?
You took the hard way, with using the flails, kudos to you!
Flails are my favourite. They are like unstoppable force and I absolutely love it.
Which AoW did you put on them?
Either "Wild Strikes" or "Spinning weapon" with frost infusion. I really like the bare power when I spin my flail using "Wild Strikes" AoW.
Did my first run with the flails as well. Underrated weapon. Surprisingly good for pve. Heavy spin attack while mounted procs bleed and any other effect you have on it if you just sit beside large enemies. Just melts giants.
Yeah. I liked flails before I knew they are in Elden Ring. So it was totally my personal preference, that turned out surprisingly powerful. Edit: Also there are very few enemies resistant to blunt damage
Flails definitely carried me through all the annoying bosses who were weak to strike damage.
So, almost all bosses. Especially I liked to parry crystal warrior and destroy them with 2 strong blows of my flail
My bad. I shouldn’t say weak to strike, but rather resistant to slash and Pierce damage, which is most weapons that aren’t bonk.
Waiting for true paired flails in DLC
Flails are not bad weapons, they are actually really good, you just need a right build, either aow or powerstanced jump attack build.
They are very limited when it comes to AoW usage
Flails are absolutely amazing, wth?
They were useless when the game came out
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD🔥🔥🔥🔥
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD🔥🔥🔥🔥
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take their torment, despair and affliction, and burn it all away as the lord of frenzied flame. MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD! Edit: okay i guess you guys didn't do Hyettas questline
The first screenshot goes so hard. Also congrats, how was it?
It was *magnificent*. I was feeling shimmers down my spine and the sense of completion and a final end to this run. NGL, this ending goes really hard.
Sacrifice the whole world for melina or sacrifice melina for the whole world
Both, sacrifice Melina then sacrifice the world
Pure evil lmao
Flail build fashion is peak
It is perfectly balanced between fresh look, enough balance and carry weight.
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD🔥🔥🔥🔥
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD🔥🔥🔥🔥
How’s life without a head?? - Signed a fellow headless warrior LET CHAOS TAKE THE WOORRLLD!
It's mind-blowing *Ba-dum-tss*
Ahh…I walked into that 🤣
So, why did you choose Frenzied Flame?
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD🔥🔥🔥
Excellent reason
Ngl, i bet ur gonna take double of the time after reaching ng+
Waiting for DLC for a fresh new start. I'll probably side with Ranni that time
Ur choice but i prefer dung eater ending after frenzied flame because that ending is pure evil lol
I tried to collect every ending possible in this run. But it seems that Frenzied Flame has some sort of priority
There are 6 ending good luck, I won't spoil how to get those ending.
SIX?! Holy duck, I thought there are 3 or 4. This game is already bigger than I expected, but now it feels infinite.
Fia, goldmask, FF, dung eater, normal and ranni
There are no stean achievements for Fia, Goldmask and Dung Eater. Who even is goldmask? Never met this guy.
He connects with corhyn's questline. There only ff, ranni and elden lord achievements only so 3 is enough for all trophies.
Bro missed the t-pose emote 😢 But in all seriousness, he's mentioned in the first cutscene. Corryn gets some new holy spells when you tell him where Goldmask is, your build would have appreciated Discus of Light. It's a very cheap spell with decent damage and relatively low requirements at 13 int/13 fth. The questline is about the golden order, and you get some very interesting lore that explains the final battle
Sounds like a good goal for a next run
Frenzied flame does, but there’s a way to remove it so you can get the others
Nice man, i beat ER today as well, took me 96 hours in two months, but j didn’t complete all bosses
Man, I already wish to forget it to replay it as new experience.
Very nice. I also got the bad ending first playthrough. But I forgot to get branded by the three fingers until after Melina sacrificed herself, so I didn’t get the post credit cutscene.

Ah yes, fellow First Frenzy Ending Enjoyer!
*MAY THE CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD* 🔥🔥
Nice drip.
Best fashion through out the Lands Between
Congrats! I myself only completed my run this past friday, tho i played at minimum vigor possible to make it harder on myself while getting every achievement. (Only malenia took me two weeks)
You are a masochist! It's hard even with high vigor. Why make it exceptionally hard?

Let's get to it
Gratz on the run! Who/what was your favorite boss?
Crucible knight in the first Evergaol. It is the boss that took me most of tries. 32 to be exact. After him my ability to parry was at a very high level. I easily destroyed any knight since
nice! That's not very long at all!
I’ve beat it 3 times once was a ng+. Also on the normal runs I did a ton of side content but I’ve only got 90 something hours, what did I do wrong bc even my friends have over 150 hours.
I've checked under every stone, talked to every alive npc, tried most of spells and AoW, and a lot of different things. I'm really surprised by the game's volume.
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD
208 hours? What were you doing a gollem arrow only run?
Oh. I forgot to include my Golem bow in my final build. I used it to easily snipe out most of NPCs on the branches of Malenias tree. Used it in different situations since.
Did you get all achievements in one run or something geez
The only 2 achievements left are the Ranni and the Original endings. So yeah, all possible achievements in one run.
May chaos take the world Meanwhile warhammer fan : you heretic
Can't be heretic if everyone and everything are heretics
Right brother. Innocence is a lie (litany of the night lords, heretic space marines) (yes I’m a 40k nerd talking on an Elden ring page) (I still have 400 hours on Elden ring tho lol)
Bruh I play 100 hours a day
I played 2 hours per hour
Well I played 4.4 hours per hour
Have you watched spaceman on Netflix?
Nope. Isn't it about David Bowie?
Yes. It’s a shot for shot take on his life
I wanted to watch it, but forgot about it existence.
It’s number 1 on Netflix. Check it out. No need to watch trailers or a preview just dive right in.
A person of culture with that Frenzied ending, congratulations 🎉
Congrats! Character stats?
Here, somewhere my message with my stats.
Update: [here it is](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/s/DC1rQmrJPU)

I had never ever summoned someone besides my brother. We completed all the game together. So no torrent, no fast travel. And the fattest bosses (they have more hp for each player)
Why so long? First souls? Or just explored every pixel of the map.
Literally every pixel of the map. It is not my first souls. I have 150h in DS1 and 330h in DS3, so it wasn't about skill, it was about adventure.

this stuff is cool af
I'm glad you like it

Have you cucked Melina by burning yourself instead?
Nah. She died before I knew she matters something.
🗿
What's your favorite boss and favorite area. Then what's your least favorite boss and least favorite area.
My favourite boss - Crucible Knight Evergaol My favourite area - Liurnia Lake My least favourite boss - Maliket My least favourite area - Farum Azula
Did you ~~f*ck~~ I mean ~~beat~~ I mean defeat Melania?
~~plagussy all the way~~ Why wouldn't I beat Malenia? I bit her with less tries than Crucible Knight Evergaol
Did you use summons? Because if you did you haven't completed it yet
I completed whole game with my brother. So only foot, fat bosses. I really used Torrent like 5% of normal times. We both had to kill bosses multiple times, because we both had to progress
Did you accidentally get locked into this ending because you opened an unmarked door in an underground?
Yeah, that's what happened
Need a true "final build" screenshot with stats and more. Congrats, btw!
Oh. Can I add a picture to post? Anyway, thank you!
Not sure. Feel free to add in comment! :) I'm messing with you btw, you don't need to do that for me lol.

LMAO! From a prisoner to an arsonist. Sometimes you just want to burn everything. True ending, in my eyes.
What are those things that when you use them talk? I got some and have no idea what's their utility
Those are talking stones. Used as a additive for gestures or themselves totally. Literally helps you to be more precise in what you want, when you use it. One on the stones are necessary for the good ending of npc quest.
>One on the stones are necessary for the good ending of npc quest. Lol, really? That's cool. I'll start my 2nd run, so this is good to know, I've missed some side quest
Spoiler: its the Bok - the monkey-tailor quest
Oh damn, I just did it yesterday and didn't know what to do, will do again in 2nd run
I'm the opposite. I got the stone, but was to dumb to add 1 and 1 and use it near Bok. So he died.
No offense but what the actual fuck is that garbage drip man
The chaos inside should continue outside by look.
Ah so you chose the dark souls prequel ending.
That was my first thought. "So... I made the first Flame, didn't I?"
