Boss Order

Elden Ring Bosses in Order

Boss order answers “what boss should I fight next?” without turning this page into a walkthrough. Recommended Order follows the route used by this page, Main Story narrows that route to main-route bosses, and All Bosses keeps optional encounters in sequence. The view stays focused on boss name, type, region and location.

FAQ

Elden Ring Bosses FAQ

How many bosses are in Elden Ring?

Tarnished Forge currently tracks 202 Elden Ring bosses: 163 from the base game and 39 from Shadow of the Erdtree. Boss totals can differ between guides because repeated encounters, field bosses, invasions and multi-phase fights are not always counted the same way.

What order should I fight Elden Ring bosses?

Use the Boss Order view for a recommended progression route, or switch it to Main Story when you only want the main-route bosses. Elden Ring is open world, so this is a practical route rather than a single mandatory order.

Which Elden Ring bosses are required?

Use the Main Bosses filter to focus on the 24 bosses listed as main progression. Optional, field and side-area bosses remain available in the full database and checklist.

Which bosses are optional?

Use the Optional Bosses filter for the 178 encounters outside the main route. Optional bosses may still unlock rewards, areas, quests or Remembrances, so they are included in the boss checklist.

Does this boss list include Shadow of the Erdtree?

Yes. The page includes 39 Shadow of the Erdtree bosses. Use the content filter to show all bosses, only base game bosses, or only DLC bosses.

Can I track the bosses I have defeated?

Yes. Mark bosses as defeated from the table, cards or order view. Progress is saved in your browser and shared with the Tarnished Forge checklist.
