Want to know how to beat the Elden Ring bosses in order? The most defining moments in any of the best Soulslike games are the tough boss fights. They can be tricky for several reasons: some are hard to hit consistently, and others can squash you with just one attack. Elden Ring is also an open-world game, so as you’d expect, there are plenty of formidable foes with big health bars waiting to be discovered.
Despite having hundreds of monsters, you only need to beat 12 Elden Ring bosses in order to finish the game. Any region can have up to 19 fights, so in addition to a list of mandatory boss encounters, you’ll also find an extensive list of all of the main Elden Ring bosses, where you can find them, and what items they drop when you beat them.
It’s worth noting that, generally speaking, as you hunt them down, dungeon bosses are not as hard to kill as the major bosses. However, there are exceptions, so upgrading the Flash of Wondrous Physick with Elden Ring crystal tears can make all the difference.
Main Elden Ring bosses in order
You may think you need to beat all Shardbearers to complete Elden Ring, but this is far from the truth. You only need two Great Runes to access the Altus Plateau, then defeat the Great Rune bearer in Leyndell, Royal Capital to unlock the doorway to the Erdtree. From here, you start the final part of the game, where you must travel to the Crumbling Farum Azula, before returning to Leyndell, now an Ashen Capital, to fight against the final gauntlet of bosses.
Unless you’re aiming to complete a speed run, we don’t recommend that you solely focus on these boss fights. Instead, you should at least do a little bit of grinding or seek out some of the best Elden Ring weapons to aid you in combat.
Here are the main Elden Ring bosses in order:
- Margit the Fell Omen (required boss to reach Godrick)
- Godrick the Grafted (beat for one of the two required Great Runes)
- Red Wolf of Radagon (required boss to reach Rennala)
- Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon (beat for one of the two required Great Runes)
- God-devouring Serpent / Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy (beat for one of the two required Great Runes)
- Starscourge Radahn (beat for one of the two required Great Runes)
- Magma Wyrm Makar (optional)
- Godfrey, First Elden Lord
- Morgot, the Omen King
- Fire Giant
- Godskin Duo
- Maliketh, the Black Blade
- Sir Gideon Ofnir, the All-Knowing
- Godfrey, First Elden Lord / Hoarah Loux
- Radagon of the Golden Order / Elden Beast
