FromSoftware’s The latest, grueling RPG has arrived in the form of Elden Ring. Over an epic quest on players taking over the land to become an Elden Lord, the game pits you against more than 50 boss battles, both requiring a beating story, and simply roaming the open world. In this Elden Ring Boss Order Guidewe’ll run you through every boss in the game and where to find them.
How Many Bosses Are There in Elden Ring?
There are 81 boss battles (82 if you want to count, but don’t kill to kill him!). However, keep in mind that you can beat the main story of the game without having to fight them.

A lot of these are optional, and can be simply avoided by giving them a wide berth in the open world.
All Elden Ring Bosses & Where to Find Them
Below, you’ll find the list of bosses you’ll encounter in the Elden Ring, split into different areas of land where you’ll find them. The locations are the ones that make your way through them, but as we noted, some of them are in the tucked away areas where you could miss them, there is no specific ‘order’ .
If one gives you some problems, simply go off and do something else to make yourself stronger and try to get them to a later point.
Editor’s Note: Some of these bosses can be found in multiple locations. We’ve listed them in the earliest instance they can find.
