58,000 Nightlord Gladius takedowns Guess the community really took 'git gud' to heart. Also, 23 million rescues—proof that even in a brutal world, players still got each other's backs.

38 billion runes lost Sounds like the average Tuesday in the Lands Between. Can't wait to see how many more we'll collectively drop when Nightreign officially launches Those Golden Hippo stats prove players will farm anything that moves—even if it's just for bragging rights. FromSoft really knows how to make grinding weirdly satisfying.
