The hardest bosses in Elden Ring

Malenia is considered Elden Ring's most difficult boss due to her aggressive attacks, rapid healing, and the infamous Waterfowl Dance. Players often struggle with her relentless assault and her ability to quickly regain health, making her a true test of skill and patience.

• Has a deadly special ability

Mohg presents a significant challenge with his Nihil attack, which deals massive blood loss damage, and his ability to heal himself. His aggressive moveset and the unique mechanics of his fight often force players to adapt their strategies and gear to survive.

• Easy to stagger with bonk

• Weak to bleed and physical damage

As a secret boss hidden within Crumbling Farum Azula, Dragonlord Placidusax is a formidable opponent with powerful dragon attacks and the ability to teleport. His arena is vast, and his attacks are difficult to predict, making him a challenging encounter even for seasoned players.

• Extreme aerial mobility

• Massive area damage

• Resistance to multiple elements

• Challenging final phase

Maliketh's high speed and Destined Death attacks make him a dangerous opponent, capable of quickly reducing a player's health. His aggressive fighting style and the limited windows for counterattacks demand precise timing and skillful dodging.

• Extremely well designed for solo play

Radagon and the Elden Beast, faced consecutively, form the final boss encounter in Elden Ring, testing the player's endurance and adaptability. Radagon's relentless attacks, the large arena, and the Elden Beast's diverse moveset create a challenging and demanding combat experience.

• Unpredictable attack patterns

• High damage resistance

• Fast and aggressive movements

• Requires great skill and strategy
