How to Defeat All Main Story Bosses in Order in Elden Ring

In Elden Ring, the developers have added a plethora of diverse bosses. It's not necessary to defeat every enemy, so to complete the game, you only need to eliminate a few of them. In this guide, we will tell you how to defeat all the main story bosses in Elden Ring.

Note that any encounter with a strong enemy is unique for each player. Subsequent gameplay depends on the chosen class and the current character development. It is recommended to spend some time developing your character, searching for, and upgrading gear. This will allow you to get rid of each boss much faster.

For mages, it will be significantly easier to deal with all enemies using a variety of spells. Moreover, this class does not need to get too close to opponents. In this case, it is necessary to keep a distance and use as many magical abilities in battle as possible.

Other players, who play melee classes, will have to learn the enemy's combinations, dodge in time, and more frequently control each enemy attack.

From the Site of Grace Stormhill Shack, we go up to the fortress by the north-west road and meet the first main enemy in the game. In the first phase, the opponent uses a vertical staff strike followed by a sword attack, a short jump back with the throw of several daggers, a charge at the player, a quick tail strike, and a double staff attack. In the second phase, Margit starts using a long sword and a hammer. The enemy combines strikes with staffs, and the damage from powerful attacks becomes greater.

Before the encounter with the boss, it is recommended to visit Patches in the Murkwater Cave and purchase Margit's Shackle, which will allow you to briefly stun the enemy in the first phase. As with most regular enemies, the player needs to deliver several quick attacks and immediately dodge. In this fight, use rolls and always keep your distance. Use ash or summon other players. Also, it is not advisable to get too close to the edges. It is easy to fall into the abyss in this arena.

After clearing the fortress, the player will reach a strong enemy. Before entering the arena, there is a Site of Grace called Isolated Chamber. The enemy uses a jumping attack, wide-reaching axe swings, and whirlwinds. In the second phase, Godrick uses a fiery hand and a powerful attack with a wide radius. In this fight, you will have to constantly dodge in different directions. It's hard to block attacks with a shield, so try to hit the boss from behind more often. It's also advisable to activate ashes and summon a helper before entering the arena.

After opening the academy, the player must first encounter this opponent according to the story. There are no nearby Sites of Grace, so you will have to run from the first hall before meeting the skeletons. It's impossible to bypass this boss when exploring the area. The wolf uses magical volleys in long-range combat and performs several attacks with a blade from its mouth, and jumps at close range.

It is recommended to use a shield while moving and try to dodge the enemy's attacks, as well as use ashes to summon helpers. For mages, this battle will be more difficult. Partners are needed to distract the boss, allowing the player to use spells. Moreover, the Crimson Wolf Radagon often dodges long-range spells, so you will have to carefully choose the right moment to attack.

After activating the Site of Grace, climb over the fence and along the beam to reach the bridge. Dodge the ball and run to the elevator. Through the large gates, we will reach Rennala. In the first phase, the player needs to find and kill the girls with the golden aura. They also throw books at the hero. After that, the boss's shield will drop, and the girl will land on the floor. Deal as many hits as possible and repeat the process until her health is completely depleted.

In rare cases, a bug occurs where enemies with the golden aura are missing from the location. In this case, you need to die and re-enter. In the second phase, Rennala uses magical spells. It is recommended to dodge and run away from them to the right side. At this stage, it is advisable to summon a helper who will distract the enemy from the hero. Head to the Dectus elevator.

This enemy is located in the capital. The player will have to spend some time getting to the enemy. The easiest way to enter the city is from the north side. First, it will be necessary to kill the Dragon Tree Sentinel. Climbing the skeleton of the dead dragon and the tree roots, we ascend to the tower to face the enemy. It is recommended to summon players for help or companions in single-player mode. A well-leveled player should not have any special problems in the battle with this enemy.

Almost all of his attacks are easy to predict. The boss uses wide sweeping axe strikes, a jump followed by a slam to the ground. In the second phase, the combinations of moves become longer, however, the player just needs to dodge them in time to the sides, and then strike from the side. You will have to pay close attention to the enemy's actions. Getting caught in one long combination of attacks might not give you enough time to dodge and instantly die at the hands of Godfrey.

We climb even higher to the arena at the golden tree to meet the boss. Most often, the enemy uses combinations of sweeping strikes, throws of spears, and daggers. When falling to his knees, Morgott charges a circular energy blast, which will deal a lot of damage to the player. In the second phase, the enemy often uses an area dagger attack and hammer strikes.

Summon a companion for help and allow him to distract the boss. At that moment, the player needs to approach the enemy from behind and land several precise hits. Repeat several times. Wait for the combinations of strikes, dodge in time, and conduct an attack. After defeating the enemy, inspect the wall at the tree, activate the site of grace, and talk to the girl. Head to the Rold Lift.

We make our way to the giant following the marker. It is recommended to wield a weapon with both hands before activating the horse. Also, it is advisable to take the most powerful blade, as the player's attacks deal very little damage to the boss. Run up to the enemy while dodging his long-range attack. The boss should only be hit on the left leg, which lacks a chain. It's worth noting that the enemy often fights with his legs and uses a shield.

In the second phase, the giant will fall to his knees and attack with his hands, as well as use various fire techniques. From the latter, it is necessary to run as far away as possible. At this stage, you need to hit the enemy from any side, but you will have to carefully monitor his actions. The giant will often roll to another location and launch fiery balls that explode when approaching the hero.

After destroying the boss, climb to the top of the cup-shaped structure and activate the site of grace to meet Melina. After her touch, the hero will be transported to Farum Azula.

In this fight, a ranged Ash of War will come in handy. It can be used through the columns. It is recommended to run away from the enemies as often as possible and hide behind the pillars. The enemies are very fast and use many strong attacks. It is preferable to eliminate the bulky enemy first. If he rolls towards the hero, it is necessary to hide behind the columns or use one of the destroyed columns as a platform. This enemy also frequently attacks with sweeping and piercing strikes.

The second opponent uses area attacks and combinations of fast strikes. We try to keep our distance and use an assistant. In turn, each enemy will return to the battlefield until their health bar drops to zero.

In the first phase, the enemy throws stones in a small area, performs a circular attack around himself, and uses several types of hand strikes. In the second stage, a powerful enemy appears, who mostly uses his blade in attacks. The boss also performs magical salvos at a long distance. You need to dodge the circular attack backwards, in other cases, it's enough to jump to the side.

In this phase, the enemy moves very quickly around the hero. It will be necessary to dodge the boss's attacks for a long time before executing your own moves. If the first stage is very easy, it is recommended to summon assistants for the second phase.

On the way to Godfrey, the player will encounter another boss. This enemy uses a variety of spells in his attacks. In this case, the player needs to dodge the enemy's salvos in time, approach Gideon, and land several precise hits. The enemy will activate magical daggers, fiery skulls, and other abilities. The boss can heal himself. We try to stay as close to the opponent as possible and prevent him from casting spells by using quick strikes.

Players will once again face a powerful boss. This time, he will be in his physical form. The enemy uses an axe in his attacks — employing various combinations and strikes with it. There are jumping moves and shockwave attacks that cover an area. Dodge to the side from regular strikes and jump when he uses a foot attack.

In the second phase, Godfrey transforms into Hoarah. The enemy uses his hands in his attacks, releases a wave when he screams, and explodes the area around him. His set also includes several simple hand strikes and jumps. Keep a distance from the first moves and dodge to the side, and jump up when he strikes with his foot.

The enemy launches spears and lightning at the player, as well as grabs the hero and hits them with a hammer. All of these moves can be dodged. Avoid simple attacks and quickly defeat the boss with a high level of skill. Immediately after finishing the battle, move on to the fight with the final opponent.

The enemy uses a lot of various magical spells, and also occasionally hits with hands and feet. Try to approach it from behind and dodge all possible moves. The boss can also teleport away and use a sweeping attack with a fiery sword when the hero approaches. In this case, you can even dodge forward, but you will need to catch the right moment.
