This is the prologue tutorial boss and you don’t have any health flasks at this point. Strategy: Welcome to Elden Ring – the game likes to punish you right away with a near-impossible fight. This boss is meant to kill you. Location: Chapel of Anticipation (no in-game map available)ĭifficulty: 9/10 during tutorial, 3/10 if returning later (Level 60+) If you want to make things significantly easier you can grind to Level 100+ right from the start. It is better to spend an hour farming runes to get 20 level-ups than to be stuck at a boss for an hour. For an easy method to get 300,000+ runes per hour from the start of the game, see Elden Ring Infinite Runes Farming Exploit. If you feel too underleveled, spend some time grinding runes to level up. See Golden Seed Locations & Sacred Tear Locations. Golden Seeds increase the number of flasks, Sacred Tears increase the amount of health/mana restored. Do this first before fighting the difficult bosses. Some main bosses also let you summon an NPC helper before the boss fight, indicated by an orange mark on the ground.īecause the game is open world you can already go to many late-game areas to find flask upgrades from the beginning. These distract the bosses so that you can attack from behind for bonus damage. Remember you can also summon Ashen Remains (spirits) to fight alongside you in battle. At sites of grace you can change how many of your flasks are assigned to health and how many to mana. A melee character is quite difficult to play in this game, as it requires learning enemy movesets perfectly and dodging at the right time, with an Astrologer you can largely get around this by staying far away from the enemy. A good ratio is out of every 3 attribute points put 2 in whatever your weapon damage scales to and 1 in Vigor. Also put some points into Vigor for more health. Focus on primarily leveling up damage, in case of Astrologer that’s the Intelligence attribute. After they miss their attack you have a moment to counter-attack, rinse and repeat. For enemies with shields, lure them into attacking you by running around in front of them. Always run (hold ) or dodge backward to stay out of the enemy’s attack range. Stand far enough away where the boss can’t hit you but close enough where your magic can hit them. A magic build is easiest for beginners, it allows you to attack enemies from a safe distance. The recommended starting class is Astrologer. Please note that some bosses can be encountered in a different order depending on what area you visit first, this list is how it’s intended by the game based on area difficulty. They are listed in chronological order below. This Elden Ring Boss Guide will walk you through the best tactics to defeat all bosses in the game. All of the levels are included in this guide here.Elden Ring contains lots of boss fights.
