How long did it take you to finish the main story?

[PanzerMeyer72]

I’m currently at around 225 hours played and I just recently arrived at Lyendell and have started to fight my way through the capital.

[Morton Koopa Jr.]

195 hours or so.

Leyndell was my halfway point (I ended up catching up with zones all over the world though after completing Leyndell).

[Senki]

around 90 hours. I missed a few dungeons and areas but i completed all the important stuff

Oh wow that was pretty fast! What level did you get up to?

[ɸ It That Dwells ɸ]

Just over 100 hours I'd say.

I don't remember since i replayed the game a few times after that but probably around 120-130

I haven't finished yet, 230 hours at this point - I'm up to Faram Azula.
I've been very thorough with exploring.

[Pantoni]

+140 hrs. And I missed a bunch of stuff (Malenia, Placidusax, some dungeons, npc quests...).

Cheers!

Around 400 some odd hours mainly because I was doing PvP.
I'm 750 + hours deep at the current moment in time.

[Sonnenbank]

Killed Elden LochNess 79h into my main char.
I did a bunch of side stuff but obviously also missed a bunch of quests and side areas.

I could easily scrape 20h of that time if i didnt have no clue where to go after
Godfrey and after Renalla each for a good 10h.. where i just wanderd around having no idea what to do

Not sure. 150 between THREE playthroughs here.Dpends on if you try and overlevel, if you are trying to find literally everything and other factors. By the tiome I was on my third playthrough, I just burned through it as all I needed was the Frenzy Flame ending.

It depends on how much exploring you do. Doesn't matter as long as you're having fun.

[SadPlatty©]

Having done most of the caves and some side-stuff, I think I finished it around 160-180 hours.

Part of this though is me just being inebriated or whatever and just riding the horse around to enjoy the world though. Each region had some nice spots to just chill and treat like a dynamic background for a bit; some of my favorites being:
- Radahn's Desert arena after you beat him; near the cost the skyline and colors blended very nicely
- Liurnia; really anywhere not immediately in the lake
- Lake Agheel
- Norkron; most places
- Mountaintop of Giants; near the one tower with the invisible pathway

Would love to be able to just hang-out in the final boss room too; reminds me of Ashen Lake from DS1.

Around 100 hours I think. A good amount of that was spent figuring out a build I could actually beat the game with because I'm frustratingly good at creating characters that end up completely non-viable by the time I hit the endgame.
