Creatures and Enemies | Elden Ring Wiki

From Elden Ring Wiki

Creatures and Enemies in Elden Ring are the wildlife and foes inhabiting the Lands Between. These hostile monsters, animals, and NPCs are fought in order to progress through the game, or to obtain different types of items and resources, like Runes, Spells, and Equipment. This page contains a list of all Elden Ring Enemies, each with their individual page containing specific information, such as stats, locations, drops, and resistances. Enemies in Elden Ring retain the dark, brooding style that FromSoftware is known for. Grotesque and imposing figures, as well as traps like fire contraptions and ballistae, will attempt to stop the player from completing the journey for the elusive Elden Ring.

Invaders

A particular type of Enemies are NPC Invaders. These are foes that materialize at specific points throughout the game. They often bear relation to the story, and defeating them also yields Equipment, just like normal Enemies. Note that the invasion mechanic is also present as one of the PvP Multiplayer modes, meaning that other players can invade you while playing Elden Ring if connected to the servers. With the exception of Bloody Finger Nerijus, Invaders can only intrude on gameplay if at least one of the area Bosses is still alive (Legacy Dungeons, Evergaols, and nighttime Bosses do not count).

Bosses

For exceptional enemies like those blocking progress to the game or found at the end of Legacy Dungeons, see the Bosses page. These are greater rivals that can be identified by their health bar appearing at the bottom of the screen with the Boss name on it, as well as a notorious change of the in-game music. Many of these Bosses can also be found as normal enemies at some other point during gameplay, often as a "Lesser"-variant foe (e.g. Runebear and Lesser Runebear). This means that some features, like summoning spirits for help, may not be available when facing a Lesser variant. Similarly, features not accessible during Boss fights (like summoning Torrent) may be available, allowing for different combat strategies.
