Elden Ring is a fantasy action RPG featuring an open-world structure and challenging combat. It is a fast-paced game that offers players complete freedom and a variety of playstyles to choose from. Being one of the best FromSoftware games, Elden Ring features vast and immersive game worlds. These worlds are home to plenty of enemy bosses who won’t hesitate to kill anyone who crosses their paths.

These enemies range from mini Dungeon bosses to challenging World bosses and the most powerful Legacy Dungeon bosses. Even though there are hundreds of bosses in the game, players only need to defeat 12 Elden Ring bosses to complete the game. Each boss has unique weaknesses and resistance to different damage types and playstyles. This guide enlists all the bosses found in the diverse worlds of Elden Ring.

Updated on September 23, 2024, by Nahda Nabiilah: Tarnished will find an abundance of bosses while journeying in the Lands Between. Some are easy and don’t require much fighting, while others are extremely difficult and will make you rip your hair out. With that being said, it’s completely natural that the tougher bosses will have better rewards than the easy ones. There is actually a third type in Elden Ring and that is the Shardbearer bosses. They reward their remembrances, which allows you to exchange them with their weapons at the Roundtable Hold.

Best Main Boss Order

Needless to say, beating any boss can be hard and players may need to try a few times. However, tackling each boss according to their difficulty level can make overcoming them a bit more manageable. The main bosses that all players must defeat to reach any Elden Ring ending are listed below by their level of difficulty:
