We love a boss in FromSoftware games, and Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree doesn’t disappoint, as it adds a long conveyor line of new boss battles to the Souls scrapbook.
The likes of the Elden Beast and Malenia are behind us now. Elden Ring has moved onto Shadow of the Erdtree—the first and only major DLC expansion for 2022’s game of the year. It’s out with the old, and in with the nuclear power of post-game enemies packing strength, magic, and gargantuan health bars.
From the main bosses you are likely to encounter, all the way to tricky, optional side bosses, Shadow of the Erdtree has something for everyone.
All new bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC
It was well documented before Shadow of the Erdtree‘s release the Elden Ring DLC would feature 10 main bosses, but there are many more in addition to this figure.
The Realm of Shadow is huge, and offers a great deal of depth from top to bottom, making it hard to accurately pinpoint every single boss in Shadow of the Erdtree—so bear with us as we continue to update this list. Keep checking back, but in the meantime, here’s our most up-to-date list with locations of where to find them.
