Bosses | Elden Ring Wiki (2024)

Bosses inElden Ringare powerful enemies thatadd 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 uniqueset of moves, gear, and various weaknesses and resistances to different damage types and styles of play. Successfully defeating a boss grants the playerlarger amounts of Runesthan traditional enemies 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 is the world of Elden Ring, inhabited by Gods, monsters, mortals, and everything in between.The Elden Ring, a physical manifestation of the fundamental laws of the world, was broken and its major pieces are now held by powerful Demigods - also referred to as Shardbearers - offspring of Gods and Mortals. Each of these mighty creatures is constantly vying to collect all the shards in an effort to gain control of the full Elden Ring.These beings and their servants compose most of the main story Bosses of the game.

The Demigods inherited different powers from their pieces of the Elden Ring, changing and twisting their bodies and minds as they fell into the disorder and chaos of the Ring's corrupting presence.Those blessed by the Elden Ring are often characterizedwith a golden aura, giving their eyes a golden glow.According to Hidetaka Miyazaki, the design philosophy of these powerful opponents 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."

Elden Ring Achievement Bosses

Certain bosses in Elden Ring are not Demigods, but the game will give you anachievement for besting them. Killing all of theachievement bosses is required for the Elden Ring achievement. The following areachievement bosses. There are currently 30 achievement bosses.

NOTE: Some bosses are needed to beat the game but don't give anachievement (likeDraconic Tree Sentinel, Sir Gideon Ofnir, Elden Beast) so they will not be listed in the list

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.
  • GreaterEnemies Bosses are found blocking progress or guarding important, powerful items and areas. They are a step higher than Field Bossesand distinguishedby the message [GreatEnemy Felled] when slain.
  • Demigodsand Legends are the main Bosses of Elden Ring. Slaying one of these mighty foes will reward theplayer with a Remembranceand possiblyone of the seven Great Runes,which are shards of the Elden Ring. This is why they their possessors are titled, "Shardbearers".

Mandatory Bosses

The only thing preventing a player from simply ignoring everyShardbearer and walking straight into Leyndell (after defeating theDraconic Tree Sentinelboss) is a barrier that can only be removed bypossessing two or more Great Runes.Therefore, whileGodrick 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) becauseall the other Shardbearers have preceding Bosses thatmust be defeated first. TheDraconic Tree Sentinel is technically an optional boss since it is possible to reach Leyndellwith the waygate in Prince of Death's Throne inDeeproot Depths after defeating Fia's Champions; however, this waygateis 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:
