I still remember the first time I stepped into the storm around Limveld. The wind howled, the sky churned with unnatural colors, and I knew I was just another Nightfarer among millions. Since ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN launched, we've all been throwing ourselves at endless hordes and the raw fury of the Nightlords. And now, with the Forsaken Hollows DLC having arrived on December 4th, 2025, I find myself looking back at the journey—and at the stats that reveal how my fellow players fared. Have you ever wondered which field boss is the true Grim Reaper of Limveld?

The Bell Bearing Hunter, without a doubt. I lost count of how many times I was flattened by that spinning, shield-bashing menace. When the official stats came out, I wasn't surprised to see that the Hunter topped the death charts. It was a deadly gamble indeed—risky opportunities to level up and find new weapons, but often ending in a swift return to grace. But what about the rescues? How many of us were saved when we fell to the forces of the Night? I'll admit, I've been on both sides. I've been the one bleeding out, and I've been the one sprinting through a swarm of enemies to revive a fallen comrade. The numbers are staggering: over 47 million rescues across all expeditions. It's a testament to the cooperative spirit that defines NIGHTREIGN. Without those brave souls, I would have never reached the deepest Depths of Night.

Speaking of which, how many players actually made it to the deepest Depths? The answer is humbling. Only about 3.2% of all Nightfarers managed to conquer the final layer. I was part of that tiny fraction, but it took me dozens of attempts, countless deaths, and more than a few rage quits. 😅 And then there's the Recluse. Which outfit do they prefer? I main Recluse, so I was curious. The stats showed a clear favorite: the "Voidveil" garb, with its sleek dark robes and glowing accents. I've tried them all, but I always come back to Voidveil. Why? Because looking good while casting spells is half the battle, right?

Let me share some of the key stats I remember from the infographic. Here's a quick table:

Of course, these numbers are from before the DLC. The Forsaken Hollows expansion has changed everything. New bosses, new areas, and new ways to die. I've been playing it non-stop since December, and let me tell you—the Hollows are no joke. Have you faced the new Nightlord? I won't spoil it, but I will say that my rescue count has gone up significantly. The new field bosses make the Bell Bearing Hunter look like a training dummy. I've already lost track of how many times I've been ambushed by the Hollows' twisted guardians. But that's the beauty of it, isn't it? Every failure is a lesson.

What have I learned from all this? That failure is just another word for experience. Every time the Bell Bearing Hunter crushed me, I learned its patterns. Every time I fell into the Depths, I learned the layout. Every time I was rescued, I learned the value of teamwork. And every time I chose an outfit, I learned that style matters. The stats are more than numbers—they're stories. They tell of triumph, despair, and the unbreakable bond between Nightfarers.

So, fellow Nightfarers, whether you're a veteran of the storm or a newcomer drawn in by the DLC, remember: the stats are just a snapshot. Your journey is your own. But if you see me in Limveld, don't hesitate to revive me. I'll do the same for you. 🌙 Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with the Forsaken Hollows. The Night is dark and full of terrors, but that's exactly why we keep coming back. Isn't it?
