Main, world &#038; sub-bosses explained FromSoftwareElden Ring features a massive array of battles to take on \u2013 and that\u2019s without even considering Shadow of the Erdtree bosses \u2013 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\u2019ve 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\u2019s extremely satisfying to finally take down enemies that you\u2019ve 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\u2019s 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\u2019ll 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\u2019ll fight the Red Wolf of Radagon the first time around in a mandatory Legacy Dungeon \u2013 where you\u2019re not allowed to use your horse. But you\u2019ll fight variants of that boss again later where he\u2019s surrounded by a wolf pack, where you\u2019ll have access to your horse which will make this fight much faster paced than the first. Elden Ring bosses in order Here\u2019s 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\u2019ve also made that clear. Margit the Fell Omen (Repeated) &#8211; Godrick the Grafted (Repeated) &#8211; Red Wolf of Radagon (Repeated) &#8211; Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon &#8211; Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy &#8211; Starscourge Radahn &#8211; Godfrey, First Elden Lord &#8211; Morgott, the Omen King &#8211; Fire Giant &#8211; Godskin Duo (Repeated) &#8211; Maliketh, the Black Blade &#8211; Sir Gideon Ofnir, the All-Knowing &#8211; Hoarah Loux \/ Godfrey, First Elden Lord &#8211; Radagon of the Golden Order \/ Elden Beast &#8211; There are also other important story bosses, these aren\u2019t mandatory but will become so if you take a certain path. These are: Leonine Misbegotten &#8211; Ancestor Spirit &#8211; Magma Wyrm Makar &#8211; Mimic Tear &#8211; Royal Knight Loretta &#8211; Regal Ancestor Spirit &#8211; Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella &#8211; Valiant Gargoyles &#8211; Astel, Naturalborn of the Void &#8211; Godskin Noble &#8211; Blaidd &#8211; Dung Eater &#8211; Baleful Shadow &#8211; Elemer of the Briar &#8211; Ensha &#8211; Mohg, the Omen &#8211; Commander O\u2019Neal &#8211; Commander Niall &#8211; Dragonlord Placidusax &#8211; Lichdragon Fortissax &#8211; Mohg, Lord of Blood &#8211; Millicent\u2019s Sisters &#8211; Tree Sentinel &#8211; Draconic Tree Sentinel &#8211; Patches, The Untethered &#8211; Beast Clergyman &#8211; Fia\u2019s Champions &#8211; All bosses by location Below you can find information about every boss in Elden Ring based on their locations, and we\u2019ve also provided links to any individual boss guides we\u2019ve got if you need a hand defeating them. As well as the bosses we\u2019ve already listed, sub-bosses are detailed below. While these aren\u2019t considered \u2018main bosses\u2019 in the game, they\u2019re 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\u2019s Haligtree Some of these bosses are reskins are others, but don\u2019t 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\u2019s moves and models but is technically one of his ancestors \u2013 and just as despicable. The good news is he doesn\u2019t have a second stage, unlike Godrick.
