With Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion finally drawing near, just how many new bosses can we Tarnished expect to face? Here’s what we know a few months ahead of release.
So when the new content arrives, just how many bosses can players expect to contend with? Here’s what we know.
How many bosses are in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree?
While an exact number hasn’t been confirmed, FromSoft’s Hidetaka Miyazaki teased “there will be over 10 new boss fights” in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
However, in typical FromSoft fashion, this is very likely underselling it. Described as the company’s “biggest expansion ever” in conversation withEurogamer, it’s safe to expect far more than just 10 boss fights throughout the DLC.
Naturally, some may be reskins or alternate versions of one particular boss, perhaps even having to fight two of them at once, as we’ve seen plenty of times before. But in terms of actual new boss designs with fresh attack patterns to master, we know we’ll be seeing at least in the double digits.
Thereveal traileralone gave us a first look at many of these new faces, includingbig bad Messmer the Impaler. A figure so ominous he even gets his own statue in thephysical collector’s edition.
Devs have even teased some ‘optional’ bosses on thesame level of difficulty as Malenia. So we’re certainly in for a difficult run through the expansion.
Rest assured, we’re sure to learn plenty more about the Elden Ring expansion in the coming months. So we’ll keep you up to speed with all the latest boss details here as we approach Shadow of the Erdtree’s June 21 release.
