All bosses and in which order you should defeat them

In the Elden Ring DLC ​​there are many bosses that you can defeat. Some of them are relevant to the story, others guard dungeons and small dungeons. We show you all the bosses and offer you the order in which you should defeat them.

How many bosses are there? There are currently 42 bosses in the Elden Ring DLC ​​(as of June 23, 2024 at 12:17 p.m.). Five of them are major bosses that must be defeated in order to reach the final boss and complete the DLC.

We will now list all the bosses and reveal their locations. Since the order of optional bosses is a matter of taste and they are only difficult if the Scadu Tree blessing is too low, we will only list the order of the main bosses so that you know which ones you have to kill first in order to progress with the story.

You can find all optional bosses in their tables, sorted by their locations. You can use our directory to jump to the individual points in our list.

You can find some of the boss locations in visualized form here in our interactive map:
