Elden Ring Community Challenge Continues Across the Lands Between

Bandai Namco's first Elden Ring Community Quest remains active today as players collectively work toward four enormous objectives. During the September 1-28 Path of the Tarnished challenge, the community is being asked to summon Sorcerer Rogier 300,000 times, obtain two million Stonesword Keys, collect 1.5 million Cookbooks and obtain one million Sacred Tears. Completing the questline unlocks commemorative artwork for the community. The event accompanies the recently released Tarnished Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 and Tarnished Pack on other platforms.

The global cooperative challenge has invigorated multiplayer summon pools across Limgrave, Stormveil Castle, and the Liurnia of the Lakes. Dedicated Tarnished have organized community summon groups to assist newcomers in beating early-game bosses like Margit the Fell Omen alongside Sorcerer Rogier, rapidly driving up the summon counters.

Tracking metrics published on Bandai Namco's event portal show steady progress across all four challenge tiers. The collaborative spirit coincides with a surge of new players exploring the Lands Between following recent platform updates.
