Elden Ring Player With 765 Hours Achieves Ridiculous Accomplishment

AnElden Ringplayer with 765 hours in the game has managed to get one of their characters to max level in the game.Elden Ringfeatures a leveling system similar to FromSoftware’sDark Soulsgames, except instead of players using souls to level up, they use runes.

When players have enough runes, they canvisit a Site of Graceand spend them to improve their character’s stats. Every level up inElden Ringcosts more than the one before it, and so reaching max level in the game requires a dizzying number of runes. Despite this, someElden Ringplayers have put in the work and managed to hit max level in FromSoftware’s open world epic, though it’s not a big club at this point.

What is the Max Level in Elden Ring?

Hitting max level inElden Ringmeans getting to level 713, which costs 1,692,558,415 runes in total. To accomplish this, Fireman_Artsen beat the game enough times to get to New Game+ 8, while also doing plenty of co-op and rune farming. There are many ways that players canfarm runes inElden Ring, but even the most effective methods would require a significant time investment from anyone wanting to hit max level in the game.

It’s possible FromSoftware will increase theElden Ringlevel capwith the new DLC, though that seems incredibly unlikely. After all, the vast, vast majority ofElden Ringplayers are probably nowhere near the level cap. One could unlock all the achievements and trophies inElden Ringwithout even getting close to the cap, so raising the level cap for the DLC would benefit only a select few players.

Regardless, those that do hit the max level cap should be plenty prepared for the upcomingElden RingDLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. Little is known about theElden RingDLCexcept that it’s supposedly coming later this year, so fans of FromSoftware’s open world epic should soon have more challenges to conquer and areas to explore.

Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
