New Elden Ring: Nightreign Statistics Showcase Enduring Love for Dark Souls 1's Iconic Boss, Artorias
The highly anticipated Elden Ring: Nightreign DLC is almost here, and FromSoftware has released a treasure trove of new statistics to whet our appetites. Among the insights, one revelation stands out: players still adore the enigmatic Dark Souls 1 boss, Artorias.
The blog post (https://en.bandainamcoent.eu/elden-ring/news/more-numbers-the-night-the-latest-stats-elden-ring-nightreign) delves into player progression through the Deep of Night, a series of five increasingly challenging depths. Interestingly, 37% of players have ventured as far as Depth One, indicating a strong initial interest in the DLC.
Depth Two sees 33% of players, while Depth Three attracts a respectable 20%. Depth Four and Depth Five, the most challenging levels, are only reached by 7% and 3% of players, respectively, showcasing the game's formidable difficulty.
The post also explores player preferences for character skins. The Artorias skin for Wylder is the clear favorite, no surprise there. However, a surprising twist emerges when we learn that Solaire isn't the most popular Guardian skin. This could be attributed to the skin's playful nature, contrasting with the sleek and iconic Artorias design.
The Wylder's Artorias skin is the overall favorite, used a staggering 18 million times, solidifying its status as a fan-favorite.
FromSoftware also shared the top ten emotes, with Golden Order Totality taking the crown as the most popular. Spread Out and Bravo follow closely behind, offering players ways to express exhaustion and celebrate victories.
The blog post also reveals the deadliest field bosses. Surprisingly, the Bell Bearing Hunter doesn't top the list. Instead, the Royal Carrion Knight claims the top spot, followed by the Draconic Tree Sentinel and Erdtree Avatar. This ranking might be influenced by players' strategic choices to avoid certain bosses.
Lastly, a heartwarming statistic emerges: over 1.2 billion players have been rescued in Elden Ring: Nightreign, highlighting the game's strong emphasis on community and mutual support.
