Every playthrough gets one active objective at a time, simply defeat the boss shown with the assigned weapon. Major bosses are worth 3 points, minor bosses 1 point. Every 5th objective is guaranteed to be a major boss.
Some objectives come with an optional bonus challenge (e.g. "no armour", "first try"). Completing it alongside the main objective earns extra points on top.
You gain 1 humanity for every 3 objectives you complete. Spend 1 humanity to reroll your current objective for a new one. You can't immediately reroll back into the same objective you just left, but it becomes available again after a second reroll. Rerolling a major boss will always give you another major boss.
Defeating certain key bosses unlocks new regions of the map, and with them, new objectives and weapons to roll into. Your objectives will always stay within areas you've already unlocked.
The first player in a lobby to defeat the Elden Beast earns a +5 point bonus, on top of the objective's normal points.
Ranked by points. Ties are broken by whoever has more humanity.
