Bosses | Elden Ring Wiki

Bosses in Elden Ring are powerful enemies that add challenging experiences to the game. Bosses are encountered throughout the game in both the overworld and inside traditional dungeon-style levels. While some must be fought to progress through the story, most are optional. Each boss features a unique set of moves, gear, and various weaknesses and resistances to different damage types and styles of play. Successfully defeating a boss grants the player more Runes than traditional enemies drop in their respective areas, and many offer rare and/or unique armaments, armor, magic, and other items. This page contains a list of all the bosses encountered in the game.

Elden Ring Main Bosses Lore

The Lands Between, the world of Elden Ring, is inhabited by gods, monsters, and mortals. The Elden Ring, the embodiment of the world's fundamental laws, was shattered, and its fragments, known as Great Runes, are now held by various Demigods — offspring of powerful deities. These Shardbearers vie for control of the Ring, battling to reunite the pieces and claim its power, forming the game's main story Bosses.

The Demigods have been twisted by the power of their fragments, warping their bodies and minds as they succumb to the Ring's corrupting influence. Those touched by the Elden Ring often bear a golden aura, reflected in the glow of their eyes. According to Hidetaka Miyazaki, the design philosophy of these major bosses was "...to depict these beings as not just creatures and horrible monsters but have an element of heroism and an element of mythology to them."

All Elden Ring Bosses

Unlike common enemies, Bosses do not respawn once defeated and can be distinguished by their health bar and name appearing at the bottom of the screen when fought against.

Types of Bosses

There are three types of Bosses:

Field Bosses are those found while exploring The Lands Between and are optional. These are in the lower tier of the Bosses hierarchy and usually generate an [Enemy Felled] screen when slain.
Greater Enemies Bosses are found blocking progress or guarding important, powerful items and areas. They are a step higher than Field Bosses and distinguished by the message [Great Enemy Felled] when slain.
Demigods and Legends are the main Bosses of Elden Ring. Slaying one of these mighty foes will reward the player with a Remembrance and possibly one of the seven Great Runes, which are shards of the Elden Ring. This is why their possessors are titled, "Shardbearers".

Mandatory Bosses

The only thing preventing a player from simply ignoring every Shardbearer and walking straight into Leyndell (after defeating the Draconic Tree Sentinel boss) is a barrier that can only be removed by possessing two or more Great Runes. Therefore, while Godrick the Grafted; Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon; Starscourge Radahn; Mohg, Lord of Blood; and Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy are all individually optional, two of them must be defeated to enter Leyndell.

The minimum number of Bosses required to reach Leyndell is three (Starscourge Radahn; Mohg, Lord of Blood; and the Draconic Tree Sentinel) because all the other Shardbearers have preceding Bosses that must be defeated first. The Draconic Tree Sentinel is technically an optional boss since it is possible to reach Leyndell with the waygate in Prince of Death's Throne in Deeproot Depths after defeating Fia's champions; however, this waygate is inaccessible and displays the message, "You cannot use this without more Great Runes", unless a minimum of two Shardbearers have been defeated.

Once the player reaches Leyndell, they have far fewer options for skipping bosses, as the remaining areas cannot be accessed without defeating the relevant Bosses:
