Elden Ring Exposes Our Obsession with XP-Grinding and Enemy Slaying
In the open-world RPG Elden Ring, players can grind their characters' stats by repeatedly killing the Albinauric enemies, who are slow to react and can be found in large numbers at Mohgwyn Palace. These synthetic creatures, created by humans and treated as disposable, have become the most-killed enemy in the game, with the club-wielding Albinauric accounting for 9.4 billion deaths. The stats, released by FromSoftware, also reveal interesting player behaviors, such as frequent requests for rebirth and limited instances of atonement.
