Using the below maps, you can easily find the locations of all the Elden Ring bosses in each area. I've labelled each boss down the right-hand side of the maps, and I've also marked which enemies are particularly difficult; which ones only appear at nighttime; and which are only found by following along specific questlines. If you've any questions ...
With such a dizzying number of boss encounters available to players in Elden Ring, it can be confusing to figure out the order in which FromSoftware intended you to fight them. The truth is: there is no clear boss order. The beauty of the open world is that you can go off and fight whoever you like, in whatever order you wish. But if you want a tru...
Grafted Scion
The very first boss you come across in Elden Ring is the Grafted Scion, which is meant to kill you after your first few steps in the Chapel of Anticipation. What you may not realise is that you can actually return to this location and challenge the Scion to a rematch by taking an Imbued Sword Key to the third-highest of the Four Belfries on the west coast of Liurnia Of The Lakes. The Grafted Scion is one of the nastier early-game Elden Ring bosses, with its many hands allowing for long combos...
Soldier Of Godrick
Players starting a new game of Elden Ring will likely face the Soldier of Godrick in the Cave of Knowledge. This swordsman is barely tougher than the standard soldiers you'll encounter out and about in Limgrave, so it's hardly a boss at all. But I'm mentioning it here for completion's sake.
Demi-Human Chiefs
Coastal Cave is probably the easiest dungeon in Elden Ring, located on the beach to the west from when you first set foot in Limgrave. At its end are the Demi-Human Chiefs - two relatively strong Demi-Humans who can nonetheless be very easily overwhelmed by distracting them with your Spirit Ashes, and dealing with them one at a time.
Cleanrot Knight
The imposing, metalclad, cape-wearing Cleanrot Knight can be found in the final room of Stillwater Cave. He's a dangerous foe wielding dual spears, and it doesn't help that you must fight him in an area flooded with poisoned water. Bring whatever you can to increase your immunity stat, and watch out for his cross-blade guard counter.
Adan, Thief Of Fire
Adan, Thief Of Fire is the prisoner inside the Malefactor's Evergaol a short distance down the left path behind Stormveil Castle. As such, he's a very early boss to contend against in Liurnia - and he's not too terribly difficult to face. He packs a punch with his flail, and you'll need to watch out for his quick fire attacks, but his low health and low poise make it an easier fight than many on this list.
Tibia Mariner
The Tibia Mariner is a boss fight that you'll likely encounter several times during your treks across the Lands Between. There was one to be found in Limgrave; another is here, a short distance south from the Carian Study Hall. This Tibia Mariner is of a higher calibre than the Limgrave variant, capable of summoning a giant half-buried skeleton for a short time. But it's still a cakewalk on horseback; just stay away from the real threats and whale at the Mariner until it is defeated.
Ancient Dragon Lansseax
Ancient Dragon Lansseax, one of two sibling dragons with powerful lightning abilities, greets you shortly after you've battled through the Ruin-Strewn Precipice to reach the Altus Plateau for the first time. It certainly looks intimidating with its thunderous lightning attacks, but your gameplan here is much the same as with other dragons you've fought so far. Stay on horseback, slash at the legs, and play it safe. After about a third of Lansseax's health is depleted, it will fly off. You can...
Misbegotten Warrior & Perfumer Tricia
This unlikely duo is to be found at the very end of the Unsightly Catacombs tucked away in the western corner of the Altus Plateau. It's always dangerous when you have to fight two bosses at once; fortunately, you can largely ignore Perfumer Tricia, who occupies a mainly supporting role, while you carefully battle the aggressive Misbegotten Warrior until the killing blow. After that, it should be plain sailing; as with all Perfumers, Tricia doesn't put up much of a fight in one-on-one melee c...
Godefroy The Grafted
Hidden within the easily missed Golden Lineage Evergaol is a familiar face: it's Godrick's near-identical descendant, Godefroy the Grafted. This is essentially another opportunity to fight Godrick with more levelled up stats and gear. This is obviously not a particularly easy fight, as Godrick/Godefroy has numerous lengthy combo attacks with unusual timings that may trip you up. But you can probably rely on your muscle memory from Stormveil Castle to make this fight quite a bit easier than th...
Magma Wyrm
The Magma Wyrm is likely to be one of the first bosses you'll encounter in the Caelid Wilds, located as it is in the Gael Tunnel between Limgrave and Caelid. Much like Magma Wyrm Makar on the border between Liurnia and Altus, this Magma Wyrm loves to spew magma and charge across its arena, meaning players should play this one patiently if they want a clean victory.
Erdtree Avatar
The two Avatars of Caelid are the strongest Erdtree Avatars you'll have experienced so far in this list. The lesser of them can be found to the west, a short way in from Limgrave on the north shore. It packs more of a punch than the others so far, but otherwise it's much the same fight.
Ertree Burial Watchdog x2
There's a reason the Erdtree Burial Watchdog was one of the first and easiest bosses in Limgrave: it's slow, and has clearly telegraphed and easily learned attack patterns. FromSoftware's way of upping the difficulty later on is to throw two of them at you simultaneously in the Minor Erdtree Catacombs. You'll have to play this one quite carefully, and keep an eye on both to make sure you aren't punished for your attacks.
Anastasia, Tarnished-Eater
Your second encounter with Anastasia takes place at the Corpse-Stench Shack on the path towards Mount Gelmir from the Altus Plateau. It's much the same as before, with her overhead attacks and slam combos, but obviously here she deals rather more damage and takes more punishment than she did back in Limgrave.
Grafted Scion
Guarding the journey towards Volcano Manor are a number of hostile creatures, not least of which is the Grafted Scion you'll encounter across on the edge of the cliffs in the ruined campsite. Its erratic moveset is identical to previous versions of this boss, so there shouldn't be too much to worry about here.
Demi-Human Queen Margot
Demi-Human Queen Margot is a pitifully weak enemy compared with most you'll find in Mt. Gelmir. This whole cave is amazingly easy compared to its surroundings, for some reason. Margot is surrounded by Demi-Humans, which may make things awkward if they don't give you time to heal; but if you pick them off, you'll find Margot has low health and not much of an answer to repeated attacks.
Ulcerated Tree Spirit
I'm sure you're used to the lovely Ulcerated Tree Spirit's roiling mass lunging itself at you by now. One such Spirit appears as you approach the encampment to the south of the Outer Wall Phantom Tree Site of Grace just past the southern entrance to Leyndell.
Twinblade Gargoyle
As you head up the steps from the Outer Wall Phantom Tree, you'll be accosted by a giant Twinblade Gargoyle, who loves to twirl said twinblade in your face and force you to dodge multiple times in a row. Some strong Spirit Ashes make this fight a lot easier, but with a bit of patience you can easily learn this enemy's moveset regardless.
Margit, The Fell Omen
Well, well, well! Margit is back, and is aching for a rematch after you bested him at the entrance to Stormveil Castle oh so many hours ago. He has exactly the same moves and patterns as before, but he obviously hits a lot harder and has more health than before, making this a much more challenging phase two of an already dangerous fight.
