It’s estimated that to complete the Elden Ring main story, it takes approximately 60 hours, but if you want to be a completionist and have absolutely everything, it’s better to reserve 127 hours of your life to it, so that you can discover what’s hidden in every corner, in addition to the time for the DLC. However, even if you go this far, you’ll never reach the 800 hours that one obsessed player has invested to try all possible initial combinations to create a perfect game.
The Lord of the Jackets
Mushroom Hero (which is what he calls himself on Reddit) has played for 807 hours, during which he has unlocked a total of 10 bronze trophies and 2 silver trophies. And that’s it. You may be wondering how that’s possible, whether, by chance, he might’ve already finished the game. Well, it turns out the guy claims he has done “absolutely nothing”. And he’s proud of it.
In total, he has spent 33% of the main story testing different initial configurations, each time with a slightly different twist than the previous one. It can certainly be said that he’s made the most of the game. So far, he has defeated Godrick the Grafted, Rennala, Margit the Fallen Augur, Radahn Scourge of the Stars, Loretta Hieratic Tree Sentinel, Leonine Misbegotten, Majestic Ancestral Spirit, Elemer of the Bramble, and Magma Dragon Makar. He’s not exactly a novice, you know.
In fact, with all the knowledge he has now, he’s ready to create the perfect character to achieve the ideal game. “I know which path to take, which weapon to use, in what order to do it, saying it on the Internet was my last step. Baptized in Reddit insults, ready to be the best in Elden Ring”. So be it.
