Most times to defeat Malenia in Elden Ring
The most times to defeat Malenia, one of the most feared bosses in Elden Ring, is 1,000 – a total racked up by legendary community favourite "LetMeSoloHer" (USA; aka Klein Tsuboi) between 25 February and 10 May 2022. The player (whose avatar is famed for donning a cooking pot on his head) was presented with a decorative sword by Elden Ring publisher Bandai Namco to celebrate the milestone.
