If you’re up for a challenge, or want to know generally how far you’ve progressed, you’ll want to know all of the bosses there are to fight in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree (SotE). We’ve listed all the bosses in the game in order.
Beware of spoilers, Tarnished!
Elden Ring SotE: How many bosses? Answered
There are 32 bosses in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. I’ve split the bosses between field bosses, dungeon bosses, mausoleum bosses, and main bosses:
- There are 7 field bosses.
- There are 10 dungeon bosses.
- There are 4 mausoleum bosses.
- There are 11 main bosses.
For a grand total of 32 bosses – which is an insane number of bosses for a DLC.
