How many bosses are in Elden Ring? Main, world & sub-bosses explained FromSoftwareElden Ring features a massive array of battles to take on – and that’s without even considering Shadow of the Erdtree bosses – from main foes to challenging optional fights you can discover in the open world but exactly how many bosses are in the FromSoftware title? We’ve got the answer right here. As you explore The Lands Between in Elden Ring, boss fights are a big part of the experience as they can net you a lot of Runes, and most importantly it’s extremely satisfying to finally take down enemies that you’ve spent hours trying to defeat. Each boss in the game has a well-thought-out story to tell, most involving some tragedy as to why they have become what they are. So, here’s a rundown of every boss you can find in Elden Ring, including the order of the main fights, and all of their locations. How many bosses are in Elden Ring? There are a total of 238 bosses in Elden Ring. However, most of these are mini-dungeon bosses, bosses patrolling the open world, or repeats of major bosses. So, you’ll likely find yourself fighting many of the same foes more than once, just under different circumstances. While this may sound repetitive, the nature of these fights often changes, with some being fought in dungeons, out in the world, or involving your horse the second time around, which shifts the dynamic greatly. For example, you’ll fight the Red Wolf of Radagon the first time around in a mandatory Legacy Dungeon – where you’re not allowed to use your horse. But you’ll fight variants of that boss again later where he’s surrounded by a wolf pack, where you’ll have access to your horse which will make this fight much faster paced than the first. Elden Ring bosses in order Here’s a list of every main story boss you need to fight to progress in the story in Elden Ring. If a boss is repeated later, we’ve also made that clear. Margit the Fell Omen (Repeated) – Godrick the Grafted (Repeated) – Red Wolf of Radagon (Repeated) – Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon – Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy – Starscourge Radahn – Godfrey, First Elden Lord – Morgott, the Omen King – Fire Giant – Godskin Duo (Repeated) – Maliketh, the Black Blade – Sir Gideon Ofnir, the All-Knowing – Hoarah Loux / Godfrey, First Elden Lord – Radagon of the Golden Order / Elden Beast – There are also other important story bosses, these aren’t mandatory but will become so if you take a certain path. These are: Leonine Misbegotten – Ancestor Spirit – Magma Wyrm Makar – Mimic Tear – Royal Knight Loretta – Regal Ancestor Spirit – Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella – Valiant Gargoyles – Astel, Naturalborn of the Void – Godskin Noble – Blaidd – Dung Eater – Baleful Shadow – Elemer of the Briar – Ensha – Mohg, the Omen – Commander O’Neal – Commander Niall – Dragonlord Placidusax – Lichdragon Fortissax – Mohg, Lord of Blood – Millicent’s Sisters – Tree Sentinel – Draconic Tree Sentinel – Patches, The Untethered – Beast Clergyman – Fia’s Champions – All bosses by location Below you can find information about every boss in Elden Ring based on their locations, and we’ve also provided links to any individual boss guides we’ve got if you need a hand defeating them. As well as the bosses we’ve already listed, sub-bosses are detailed below. While these aren’t considered ‘main bosses’ in the game, they’re still just as challenging (sometimes more so) than the others. Each of these is a sub or mini-boss, located out in the world, at the end of a dungeon or side quest. Bear in mind that some of these bosses may also be repeated per region: Roundtable Hold Limgrave / Weeping Peninsula Liurnia of the Lakes Caelid / Dragonbarrow Altus Plateau / Leyndell / Captial Outskirts Mt. Gelmir / Underground Mountaintops of the Giants / Consecrated Snowfield / Forbidden Lands Crumbling Farum Azula Miquella’s Haligtree Some of these bosses are reskins are others, but don’t take any lightly, some are endgame versions of bosses you may have defeated earlier. Also, some are separate characters who share the same animations, and character models as others. For example, Godefroy shares Godrick the Grafted’s moves and models but is technically one of his ancestors – and just as despicable. The good news is he doesn’t have a second stage, unlike Godrick. Hopefully, this list of bosses in Elden Ring helps you on your journey as you unlock various weapons and experiment with different builds.
