Elden Ring Player Somehow Ends Up With Exact Number of Runes Needed to Level Up

gamerant.com:

Leveling up in Elden Ring can sometimes feel like a chore. It can become heartbreaking if player is unable to re-collect their runes after their death, thus preventing them from leveling up and dooming them to restart their rune collecting from literal zero. That’s why it’s so impressive that an Elden Ring player wound up accidentally pulling off an impressive feat by collecting the exact number of runes they needed to level up.

Elden Ring is a third-person action RPG developed by the legendary FromSoftware. As with nearly all FromSoftware games, Elden Ring tasks players with collecting experience points to level up their characters. In Elden Ring XP is referred to as Runes. Many a player has wandered the Lands Between slaying enemies big and small, only to reach a Site of Grace to find that they’re short a few runes when they try to level up their stats. With such a wide variety of enemies strewn about, all of whom drop various amounts of runes, it can be difficult for a player to know if they currently meet or exceed the threshold required for leveling up.

An Elden Ring player on Reddit who goes by the name MrAceofKings essentially hit the Elden Ring version of the lottery. MrAceofKings visited a Site of Grace after a presumably arduous run of enemy slaying to discover that they had the exact number of runes required to reach the next level. With 122,432 runes on-hand, that places MrAceofKings at level 135, and giving them the exact number of runes needed to reach level 136. The absolute highest level the player can reach in Elden Ring is 713, with each of the eight stats governing player abilities capping out at 99.
