At the end of our playthrough of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, we encountered over 30 bosses, and we imagine there are a few more we’ve missed given the scope of the expansion. In terms of the mainline bosses tied to Remembrances, there are 10 bosses, which are best tackled in a specific order to mitigate the jump in difficulty between some of the more testing ones.

Below, you’ll find our recommended boss order for the major story bosses along with a list of all the bosses in the game alongside any invaders that spring up to cause you trouble. It goes without saying that the following includes major spoilers, so click out if you want to keep the mystery intact.

  4. Madding Hand
  5. Ancient Dragon-Man
  6. Ansbach

As above, we suspect we’ve missed a few, so we’ll jump back in and update this list if and when we come across any more bosses.
