Elden Ring New Boss Guidelines: Drops and Location

New Bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

Apart from the expanded open world, most fans of the series eagerly waited to experience the new bosses to defeat. And this anticipation to go head to head with them consistently grew momentum as we got nearer to the DLC’s release date.

Fast forward to Shadow of Erdtree’s launch, a lot of reviews were saying the game was “too hard” mainly because of the caliber of the new bosses. There were even reports of playing for 15 hours and they have not even cleared half of the list. A popular avid fan, Gene Park, even took on X to say that it was the hardest fight he has ever done.


 

Excited but nervous?

    These are the main bosses you’ll encounter in the Shadow of the Erdtree, meaning there are still other ones you’ll have to defeat along the way. This list is also in no “particular order”. 

    The beauty of the open world is if you find you aren’t progressing the way you hope for in one location or find yourself stuck, you can try other places and try your luck there. Either way, you’re in for a ride for sure.
