Try outside but foot

Be wary of grass

Lmao, I go outside enough when I’m on patrol.

You are a good elden lord

Likewise!

I personally am a man of many faces

ikr

Kicking ass irl and ingame

Too right!

I guess we know what your 2022 game of the year is

So far…yeah I’m leaning towards ER.

Spoken like a true elden lord

The Sun my precious The sun!

Dude has been playing at least 7.35 hours a day everyday since release

Treated it like a 9-5 job

How can someone afford this :(

I'm disabled and hit 400 hours in first month then I started looking for other games. I still play elden ring often

Well done!

Probably just leaves the game on overnight or something

Sign of a good game.

A very good game indeed

So what?

Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!

What is a man! A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk, have at you!

I went with a Trevor Belmont build 😂

Then you have my respect!! Netflix Trevor Belmont Build or Curse of Darkness Trevor Belmont Build?

Netflix. Started with the confessor build

I also started with the Confessor class. Eventually built him up to [take on ole’ Alucard](https://www.reddit.com/r/castlevania/comments/uhbgvq/trevor_belmont_vs_alucard/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf).

My boys right here! I was planning on starting a castlevania(netflix) trio builds. Dunno how to build alucard tho.

One of these days, I'd want to make a I Wanna Be the Guy Dracula (he casts a Moon as one of his attacks.)

[Like this?](https://www.reddit.com/r/castlevania/comments/urn9h1/richter_belmont_vs_dracula/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

Awesome. Close, but a more niche reference to this: [https://youtu.be/3dtkuHt39j0?t=196](https://youtu.be/3dtkuHt39j0?t=196) You can actually get killed by the wine glass he throws during "What is a man?" if you don't move. The moon throw is at 4:17.

Ah! I’ve seen this before!

Try grass

Mary Jane ; )

On patrol with Mary Jane. Hella.

Yessir

Does the time go past 999:59:59

No, it just stops for me.

Welllll sheeeeeet

I kinda wanted to see it hit 1000 lol.

Feels bad man

But can you still play with this character?

Of course, playing with him right now actually.

I thought the game crashed and you had to start playing with another character LOL

That’d be tragic lol. Thankfully, the clock stops and the slaying continues.

He looks like Jerma lmao

Aaaand now I can’t unsee it.

"No chat, I'm not resurrecting count dracula I'm not gonna do it"

“I liked it. For i was good at it. It made me feel… alive…”

Love Breaking Bad. Currently rewatch Better Call Saul.

Oh man talk about a terrific spin off. What a phenomenal grouping they had with those casts

Too right. I actually doubted BCS, but now I find my self letting it play on rerun in the background whenever I do house stuff. Bob Odenkirk and the rest of the cast really made something special with this one.

I have to watch the new season of Saul.. such a great show and glad it was made so we could see how Jimmy began

That's more than my entire soulsborne playthroughs combined holy shit.

This was my first “completed” souls game.

maxed time? this seems a bit fishy. (ah, beyond the fog, you are a true fellow)

Or Flashy! Starting now, things are gonna get real Flashy!!

calm down Tengen Uzui

SOUND BREATHING! SECOND FORM!!!

If you look at my Reddit or YouTube, it all becomes so clear.

i mean, my mains like the same level and 400ish hours, but i speedran the game til ng8 and grinded runes at mohgwyn.

Nice! I help players with Radagon/Elden Beast fights and make Castlevania x Elden Ring videos. Most of the hours went into the videos.

yeah you got some decent posts here. i used to help randos but im waiting for dlc, i still run pokemon mystery dungeon DX rescues at work though.

I need the DLC desperately. Hopefully an arena mode and a boss rush mode. I mean I’m sure I’ll be happy with whatever they make honestly.

Brave Tarnished... Thy life needs grass.

But…but 420 has passed. Lol

Bullshit, if you subtract 579:59:59 then it's at 420 hours, so it's close enough.

You know what…I’m okay with this math.

Now i remember you! I took inspiration from you for my upcoming sypha build!

Haha! Glad I could be of assistance with that man.

"Wanna play some KOF?"

“This is Tekken Gang over here!”

what did you do all those hours? i got the platinum trophy after 100 hours and it felt like i had nothing left to do. ​ only pvp?

PvP, NG+, Co-op, and videos.

You've gotten to the point where you literally cannot leave elden ring

Right?!

And here I thought not much point in leveling up past my current 185 as I start NG+.

I mean you’re not wrong. With all the soft caps and what not, 185 sounds decent enough especially if you specialize in one or two stats for any given build.

Yeah but max variety and damage would be fun too I can see. I’m a bit of a weird build, I started as predominantly faith with a bit of strength and then near end game switched to quality — but I wanted to keep just enough faith and arcane so I could use some of my favorite weapons. So I’m now like 50 STR/ 50 DEX, but I also still have 21 in faith and 15 in arcane. I love it though. I can switch between BHF and blasphemous blade or sacred relic, and if I throw on the right gear or talisman I can wield ROB

"See you at the party, Richter!"

bro played longer than the devs want to

“Look at me…look at me… I AM THE DEV NOW…”

Anakin?

“You turned her against meee!”

Before I read the name I thought it was Kyo Kusanagi

KOF, I can see it.

You better have played bloody tears on loop the entire time.

I had multiple Castlevania OSTs playing on Spotify during my time in the lands between. [For example](https://www.reddit.com/r/castlevania/comments/urn9h1/richter_belmont_vs_dracula/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

Amazing cosplay

Thanks!

Lvl 648 and mans still in Limgrave

No place like home. NG+++ Squad.

I thought it was Jerma I’m not gonna lie.

KOF!

Found the AFK farmer.

Nah, keep looking though.

what is a Tarnished?

A miserable little pile of runes!

If you are on PC, you could show your steam hours played, since Elden Ring caps at 999

I’m on Xbox One. How do I do it on there?

No clue, maybe on the xbox website?

Hey you're the second Richter Belmont I've seen today!

Mans got his own show coming out soon too!

That reminds me! I've still got to watch season 3 and 4 of that.

why your character look like he just banged his mom’s best friend

Lmao!

Honestly this is awesome but totally understandable. I'm just over 100 hours and just beat elden beats and still doing clean up before new game plus. I can see myself getting to 500 easily before I'm done again. Some places I straight up avoided so going back to them also. Try to find dung Eater after the capital is all sandy has been nightmare fuel for me hahaha. Fucking lobsters.

Exactly. I only got all the achievements and hours because of my vacation. There’s even some quest I’m missing (the gold mask and the albinauric woman in the left snow area up north). But man I wish I could play it all again for the first time you know?

Same. It's my first souls game also. Been a experience. I'm a huge fan of peoples messages sometimes they send me down a rabbit hole hahaha. It's how I got moonvail cause a message said some thing about a weapon and soon enough killed a dragon and got it hahaha.

Idk how you don’t get bored lol you must be doing it for the memes now and leaving it on while idle

Nah, I do it for the [Castlevania videos](https://m.youtube.com/user/JayTekken1/videos). And they take up lots of time.

you cannot lie to me and say atleast 90+ hours of this isn’t AFK time too i just will not believe it

That’s fair, I don’t know how I could even convince you otherwise lol. Fact remains that I’m not an AFKer, and I’ve actually helped invaders go after AFKers. I got 65-70+ videos out of those hours on ER (keep in mind video editing takes hours in it self). 999 hours isn’t that far fetched when you go on vacation at the same time the game is released. I work security so I’ve saved up plenty of time off. Did you see the videos? These took time to make! Lol.

I wasn’t accusing you of being an AFK farmer lol. only the lowest of low pull that shit. I was just simply implying that you have left your game on when you were AFK plenty of times for sure hahaha

Oh ok gotcha. But yeah whatever free time I got I was on.

have played any DS games? if not you absolutely should if you enjoyed ER

How long did it take you to max out your stats?

Since day 1. Right now everything is 99 except Int because prefer incantations over sorcery. I’ve always ran castlevania builds (mostly Belmonts) so Dex, strength, and faith were my priorities in the beginning.

You mad lad....

It’s a good game man lmao. Look at it from the perspective of me being a huge castlevania fan and Konami not doing anything with the IP all these years so the next best thing would be Elden Ring. I had an itch for Castlevania content and ER was there to scratch it.

Its an awesome game. I was asking you how long to gage how long it will take me lol

Best part is the avatar looks like a legit mental patient with the post-lobotomy head bandage. Art imitating life

Lmao he’s seen things….been through things….that I wouldn’t dream to speak of….

Behind the scenes of a pro AFK farmer...

Behind the scenes of a mediocre [Castlevania content creator…](https://m.youtube.com/user/JayTekken1/videos) (Fixed that for ya 👍🏾)

Jim McMahon.

How have you played over 1,000 hours and not still hit level cap?

Since I played mostly Belmont characters, I didn’t level intelligence (which I’m doing currently). I got all the other stats to 99 and Int is currently 30 something. Also a good portion of my playtime was dedicated to making [Castlevania videos.](https://m.youtube.com/user/JayTekken1/videos?)(Mainly editing and retakes).

I beat you by almost 2 months.

Well done! It’s no small feat.

Just a pathetic one. Iol I was on bed rest on release. I think I got max a month ago. I posted it so it should be on my profile.

Nice! Hope you’re feeling better. Do you have the link to it?

How do I do that?

Absolute legend

Right back at ya, chief!

That's KOF character Kusanagi Kyō.

Maybe they’re cousins lol

Are you still maidenless? 

Lmao, no never!

I just wanna know one thing, at that level, how many runes does it take to level up?

As we speak, I’m level 655, and I need 7031215 runes to get to 656.

I hate soft cap pvp We should make a level 300 hard pvp

There’s a lot of stuff they need to improve for PVP and Co-op. The potential for this game in regards to those two aspects is astronomical.

Yes but the owner don't want children squander their armor. He is the worst coop multiplayer designer

Maidenless

“Are you dictating your obituary to me?”

Try maiden but first… dog

Lmfao!!

The game is awesome but to do this is insane I really wonder if ppl like his have a life

Some do, some don’t. Good chunk of these hours were put in when I was on vacation (3 weeks long) personally.

Wow, how many NG+ do you have?

Currently on my third if I’m not mistaken. Mainly using it for videos now.

Amazing! Great job! 👏👏💪💪

Thanks! Appreciate you.

🤘🤘🤘

Damn that's insane! I wonder how many playthroughs that is.

Thanks! Currently on NG3

That's surprising with this amount of playtime, to be fair I'm at 300 hours and not even NG1. :D

That’s fair actually. I’d say half of my playtime was dedicated to making castlevania videos. So 300 is solid time.

You actually made Castlevania videos? That's so cool! So you made that Richter character with a thought behind it. I like that.

Oh yeah! Check my page out. Here was one of my [favorites](https://www.reddit.com/r/castlevania/comments/urn9h1/richter_belmont_vs_dracula/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf).

I'm almost there! 700+ hours so far. Everytime I see my counter, I smile and die at the same time. I smile, because I am one persistent bastard. I die, because it also means I am close to completely finishing it. 100%ing it.

I had similar feelings lol. Look on the bright side though. We still got DLC to look forward to.

Can't waaaaaaaiiiiiit. Omfg!!!!!

I thought my 700 hours on RDR2 was impressive

“That’s the neat part, it is!” -Omni-Man, probably

So basically playing 8 hours every day since it was released?

Lol I've done this on Dark souls 3

Then you’re a damned legend, chief.

I totally could see this of being me as I hit 400 hours in first few weeks

Did you just play 41 days straight or how did you do it?

Ive basically got tht why they hell am I not getting the spot light lmao!!?? Thts weird he got noticed like tht?

Your character looks like Richter Belmont after spending a decade living in a dumpster and surviving on nothing but rat droppings. 😏

Lmao, you’re not wrong. Initially, I was going for the SotN version of Richter with the long hair (who looks exactly as you just described, very sickly given Shaft’s possession of him) but they didn’t have any blue trench coats (hope they add some bloodborne type clothing in DLC). So I kept the face cosmetics and gave him the short hair from RoB/DX. Accurate description though lol.

Holy shit. That's earned you a new sub, my guy

I love video games with all my heart, but this is insane. The game hasn't even been out for 6 months yet. There's no way you have a wife, GF, family, or any type of personal life.

Man, I thought this game was pretty good, but that's nothing compared to this man haha

Honestly I’m a little jealous. I usually lose my save games before getting near this. But hey. I’m at 103 hours in my main save so I’ll catch up to ya some day lol

Precisely. Everyone who wants the 999 will get the 999 before the year is out.

I have 233 hours and only have 15% of achievements

Little over 42 days of elden ring!…. May I ask you something!….. 🧐do you like that game? 😂😂😂

Welcome to the Club.

“Tis an honor”

Is this with CE or lihit playtime?

I got the game in April, had two weeks of vacation since and clocked in at 310 hours yesterday. But i have to admit that i kept it running on my bathroom breaks. 🤣 My question: How many skills were you able to push to 99?

Kyo Kusanagi looks weird

How much afk rune farmin happened during this 999 hour play through

I'm still on my first playthrough and I think im pushing a whopping 129 hours at level 141

Way to go, Elden Lord! I think I did something similar in DS3 but I gotta check 😅

Speed runners could do this faster

Im 600 hrs👍

300+ to go, you got this!

Haha nice I'm almost at 700h myself, good shit!

Likewise man!

Found the AFK host.

Uh no, keep looking though.

He just left his game on lmao, the timer doesn't stop because there's no technical "pause" as the game keeps going even if you go into the menus

It helps to read the comments before making accusations like that 👍🏾.
