HP or Hit Points is one of the Stats in Elden Ring. Stats refer to various properties that govern your character's strengths and weaknesses, as well as how they are affected by interactions in and out of combat. HP is a measure of your health and how much damage you can take before falling in combat. It is one of the Base Stats which are directly affected by a player's Main Attribute distribution. Stats such as HP are an important aspect of character progression in Elden Ring.
Elden Ring HP Stat General Information
- HP or Hit Points is a Base Stat that serves as a measure of a character's health and how much damage they can take before falling in combat.
- HP is one of the most prevalent stats and is constantly displayed on the HUD, represented by a red bar that depletes as you take damage.
- When your character's HP is depleted to 0, you die and drop all held Runes at the site of your death. You will then respawn at the last Site of Grace you visited. Alternatively, if you've passed a Stake of Marika checkpoint before your death, you can choose to spawn at the last one you've passed.
- Resting at a Site of Grace fully replenishes your HP and FP. However, this also causes most enemies to respawn.
How to increase Character HP in Elden Ring
- A player's Maximum HP can be increased intrinsically by adding points to Vigor when leveling up.
- Vigor is one of the 8 Main Attributes that players can spend Runes on to level up.
- The ability to level up is unlocked shortly after meeting Melina for the first time near the beginning of the game.
- Leveling up can be done at any Sites of Grace once unlocked.
- The amount of Runes required to raise an Attribute increases with each character Level.
- Runes are obtained primarily by defeating Enemies and Bosses. Certain consumables such as the Fringefolk's Rune can also be used to gain a fixed number of runes.
- Certain Weapons, Armor or Talismans may also affect your Maximum HP.

300 Runes.Elden Ring HP Notes & Tips
- HP Increase by Vigor Level
- The soft caps are 25, 40, and 60
- The formulas for calculating HP are as follows:
- Level 1 - 25 --> 300 + 500*(((Lvl - 1) / 24)^1.5)
- Level 26 - 40 --> 800 + 650*(((Lvl - 25) / 15)^1.1)
- Level 41 - 60 --> 1450 + 450*(1 - (1 - ((Lvl - 40) / 20))^1.2)
- Level 61 - 99 --> 1900 + 200*(1 - (1 - ((Lvl - 60) / 39))^1.2)
- The resulting number is always rounded down
| Level | HP Total | Increase |
Step 1: have 400 hp.
Step 2: complain about the game's unfairness and extreme difficulty

I believe the max with 99 vigor is around 3k hp, with the crimson amber +1 and the erdtree favor +2

I came looking for HP at each Vigor Level and was not disappointed. I know there are complaints about errors or missing information, but I admit, I’m so thankful for this website and having access to this kind of data.
Thanks, Fextra.

When I fight the ringleader Alecto my health is decreased for some reason the right most part of the HP bar is grayed out and unavailable. My health is 1737 out of 1930 maximum even when resurrected at the statue of Marina. (My vigor points are 65 as current status and 60 when I level up)
Do you know of other bosses that cap HP and gray out a section of the HP bar?
- Anonymous
Maximum possible HP: 3242
99 Vigor
Morgott's Rune
Crimson Amber Medallion +2
Erdtree's Favor +2
Crimsonspill Crystal Tear
I'm probably missing something

Does anyone know all the ways to DECREASE your max HP? I want to go invade with the ruptured crystal tear and just blow up on the host and die, but I wanna make sure I die. Currently, I have too much health in order to die, and that's why I need to know.

Why does my HP not match the table here? I have 42 vigor but only 1427 hp
Playing as sorcerer was always trick because the low hp you have to be a sorcerer. However in ER, its more complicated because bosses will almost one shot you in 25,30 hp.

3243 HP by using crimson amber medallion+2, erdtrees favor+2, Morgotts great rune, and the 3 min boost the hp physick flask. The highest EHP is probably way higher if you use Blessing of the Erdtree incantation (1080 over 90 seconds) and the 20% HP restore physick flask when below 20% hp. Ritual Shield Talisman reduces damage taken by 30% when you're full HP and Blue Feathered Branchsword HALVES damage taken when below 20% HP. If you were in a healing PVP fight, then keep Ritual Shield Talisman on as you'll heal back to full often, if it's a duel then remove it for Blue Branchsword after taking a hit. Robustness and Mind talismans are overpowered when facing bleed and madness builds respectively.

This needs testing for any stacking and compatibility issues, but it seems like the ultimate Everlasting Knight build would use:
• Prayerful Strike (ash of war) and Great Stars (greathammer, require: 22str, 12dex) OR Blasphemous Blade (greatsword, require: 22str, 15dex, 21fth)
• Godskin Swaddling Cloth (talisman)
• Assassin's Crimson Dagger (talisman)
• Rykard's Great Rune
• Taker's Cameo (talisman)
• Blessed Dew Talisman (talisman)
• Icon Shield (greatshield, require: 22str)
• Wondrous Flask (Crimsonwhorl Bubbletear + Crimson Crystal Tear)
• Blessing of the Erdtree (incantation)
Obviously, forgoing the Royal Remains armor for how pathetically it is limited by only regenerating HP up to 18% of maximum. Additionally, chose Great Stars due to life leech per hit, and paired it with Prayerful Strike, since Great Stars is a hammer. Not sure if Butcher Knife would work with Prayerful Strike. Because there's no use of Royal Remains, the player can be suitably tanky for using Prayerful Strike. The alternative of Blasphemous Blade was given for the passive life-leech on kill and the weapon art's absurdly powerful life-leech on hit.

As far as I know the highest possible max hp is 3243 by using crimson amber medallion+2, erdtrees favor+2, Morgotts great rune, and the temporary boost from that one physick flask item
- Anonymous
EHP grows higher by increasing Endurance and equipping heavier armor after 40 vigor. WIthout flasks. With flasks it is even better. After 60 vigor, it is practically worthless, so please don't max Vigor, you are wasting valuable points.

Maximum Hp reaches 2,948
With morgott great rune, both +2 talismans equipped at 99 vigor

The amount of damage you can deal and receive in this game is way too high for how low our HP can get. With buffs I can reach an AR of 1273 at level 120, which would be enough to two shot another character even if their vigor was at 99, assuming they have poor damage resistance. Even accounting for damage resistance, it would probably be a three shot. If they make another Elden Ring game the values for HP need to be raised or our overall DPS needs to be squished.

Something odd i noticed is that the health you have and the health in the level up menu are slightly different. The samurai I'm using has a reported 870 HP from 27 vigor. If you ask, yes I am insecure about my health being visually equal to or lower than my stamina. Despite reading 870 HP in the level up screen, the character only has 826/826 HP in the equipment menu. Equip load doesn't seem to do anything for it.
