Elden Ring Boss Order and Where to Find Them

By Editorial Team

Unlike the previous Souls games, Elden Ring does not force players to be stuck on a single boss. Its handy open-world design allows them to instead keep exploring elsewhere to become stronger before returning to any particular boss. The following guide will nonetheless highlight the Elden Ring boss order and their locations for players to consider before attempting them.

Elden Ring Story Bosses in Order

The first list is of all the main story bosses in Elden Ring. For this, we are including all bosses that have a significant part in the Lore of the game and are a part of the series of events that are happening or have happened prior to the game.

Most of these bosses are the Shard Bearers, and descendants of Marika. This list will also include any bosses that you have to defeat in order to get to the main bosses of the game.

Here is the chronological list of bosses you need to defeat in Elden Ring to end the game.

Here, we have a list of optional bosses that are included in the main story of Elden Ring

Dungeon Bosses in Order by Difficulty

Here, we will list all the dungeon bosses in Elden Ring. Here, we will count all the bosses that are found in underground minor dungeons or even major dungeons such as in Castle Morne.

This also includes all the bosses found in underground areas in the game.

Elden Ring World Bosses

This list will include all the bosses that you find in the open world in the game. These do not include the bosses that you find in Dungeons in the game, but found while free roaming. You do not have to go out of your way to get to these bosses in Elden Ring.
