Bandai Namco recently revealed some interesting stats aboutElden Ring, confirming that gamers had tried to beat Malenia 329 million times. By comparison, Margit was listed at 281 million attempts, with Radagon sitting at 148 million. Due to the difficulty of these fights,Elden Ringallows users to summon other playersand play together, with some gamers preferring to take them on solo to give the host a free win.

A Reddit user named bbbonkk was summoned to fight Malenia inElden Ring, and the player claims to have fought her on their own. As seen in the video, Malenia is in her second phase, and the fight is about to end with the boss being just a few hits away from defeat. However, the host sends bbbonkk back to their world, presumably to finish Malenia off after their partner had depleted a vast majority of her health.
Other users in the comments section do not seem hopeful about the host’s chances of winning the fight, as many believe that they died after sending bbbonkk back to their world. On the other hand, some claim that these gamers manage to finish off Malenia and boast about defeating her without using theco-op feature inElden Ring. Overall, players appear to hate whenever a similar incident occurs, with one user claiming to have stopped helping others after being on the receiving end multiple times. Some fans also believe that similar incidents did not take place while playing theDark Soulsgames.
For those unaware, using theFinger Severer multiplayer item inElden Ringends the encounter, as the summoned player is sent back to their world. This can be useful in several scenarios, as it allows summoned users to quickly get out of the match if they need to, but the host can also utilize it to send their partner back home. However, this video shows why gamers in the comments section feel discouraged about helping other players, as it allows the host to take full credit for their hard work.
Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
