How Many People Have 100% Elden Ring?

Out of over 20 million Tarnished who have ventured into the Lands Between, only an estimated 1.6-2 million players have joined the elite ranks of those who have 100% completed Elden Ring. This group makes up around 8-10% of the playerbase that has collectively defeated bosses over 6 billion times.

Defeating the story‘s critical path takes most players 45-60 hours. But exploring every optional area, completing all questlines, and defeating all optional bosses takes the average player around 130-150 hours of additional gameplay. Only the most dedicated have sunk hundreds of hours to achieve the prestigious Platinum trophy.

The True Elden Lords

Let‘s break down that 8-10% figure a bit further:

• 3-4% of players have defeated all main bosses
• 6-8% of players have additionally completed all major side quests
• Less than 2% of players have defeated all bosses including the hardest optional ones without summoning
• Less than 1% of players have completed a "no-hit" run against the game‘s toughest bosses like Maliketh and Malenia. We‘re talking perhaps 5,000 players maximum.
• Only a handful of legendary players have achieved the holy grail of no-hit runs against all bosses.

Truly earning the title of "Elden Lord" through completely conquering all of the game‘s content puts players in rarefied air. Let‘s look at some of Elden Ring‘s most god-slaying accomplishments:

Speedrunning Legends

Elden Ring speedrunning records now have the Any% category down to under 20 minutes and the All Bosses category to under 2 hours. The skill required to exploit glitches and perfectly execute boss strategies puts these players in a league of their own. Thousands tune in to watch world record pace runs regularly on Twitch and YouTube.

No-Hit Heroes

Players like the legendary "Let Me Solo Her" have helped over 1,000 players defeat the brutal Malenia boss fight. Meanwhile, at the cutting edge, players are pulling off no-hit runs against her solo. Out of millions of attempts, perhaps less than 5,000 players have achieved the no-hit on Malenia trophy.

Doing so against ALL bosses? We‘re talking single digit players. These Tarnished gods walk alone through the Lands Between.

Max Level Maniacs

While the max player level caps at 713, reaching the absolute max requires 4-5 NG+ playthroughs gathering millions of runes. Only the most obsessed players have done so – perhaps less than 0.1% at most. It‘s an insane grind that we‘re talking maybe 20,000 players max.

Self-Imposed Legends

And then we have the crazy self-imposed challenges from players like Bushy who has astonishingly completed "Level 1" playthroughs over 100 times trying wild challenge runs. Ranging from torch-only runs to defeating Astel hands-tied-behind-his-back, these players etch their names into Elden Ring legend through sheer force of will.

Measuring The Dedication

Completing all Elden Ring has to offer requires a monumental level of skill, knowledge and perseverance. Let‘s break down some numbers:

130-150 hours

The estimated time to earn the Platinum trophy and fully complete the game including all questlines and the most hidden secrets. This puts Elden Ring as one of the largest and most content-packed open world games ever created.

6 billion

The number of times Elden Ring bosses have killed players. Malenia alone accounts for 5.5% at about 300 million deaths. Facing relentless foes until ultimately emerging victorious is truly what separates Elden Lords.

A League Of Their Own

Anyone who has plunged for hundreds of hours into Elden Ring‘s dark fantasy world, conquering every foe from Margit to Malenia, deserves endless praise. Completing Limgrave alone takes most players dozens of hours. To wholly explore the Lands Between is a special achievement.

So from dedicated casual fans to the achiever freaks with endless free time, the players who persist through utter defeat to ultimate redemption have my deepest admiration. Here‘s to the toughest Tarnished of them all!
