When ranking stuff in video games like “Elden Ring,” several players would have different choices, such as which boss in this game is the toughest to beat. However, to end everything unofficial, the game’s publishers themselves, Bandai Namco, have unveiled its top five hardest bosses. Here are the results.
5. Starscourge Radahn
Also popularly known as General Radahn, Starscourge Radahn is a demigod and a prominent figure in the Lands Between. You will first meet Radahn in Caelid, a once-lush area that eventually became a highly toxic wasteland when Malenia the Severed took over.
The “Conquerer of the Stars,” Radahn was an uber-mighty warrior of the universe who could use gravitational magic to stop the stars in their places as he wished. If only he had not battled Malenia, he would still be the most powerful.
4. Radagon
Fully referred to as Radagon of the Golden Order, this boss is more potent than Starscourge Radahn, according to Bandai Namco. He is Queen Marika’s second husband, and the dad of Miquella and Malenia. He is knowledgeable about incantations as he studied them in the past. You will encounter Radagon as the last boss in the game, then battle with him at Leyndell’s Erdtree. It is interesting that even if he is the final boss, Radagon is not the strongest.
3. The Tree Sentinel
On the other hand, the Tree Sentinel is a mounted enemy and World Boss in the game. Mounted enemies are those ridden by another creature. The locations of these enemies are in the Altus Plateau and West Limgrave.
At West Limgrave, he guards the road between The Church of Elleh and The First Step while he guards the south gate into the Capital Outskirts of Leyndell at the Altus Plateau. His attacks include the Galloping Slash and the Shove.
2. Margit
Also known as Margit the Fell Omen, Margit is in rank two. He is an Omen who became famous during The Shattering, wherein he slaughtered several champions who harbored ambitions for Lordship. He also stacked their corpses high during the Second Defense of Leyndell. Ruthless and brutal. Yikes.
And the toughest “Elden Ring” boss is…
1. Malenia
Women power here. Malenia is a tall, red-haired woman wearing a gold Valkyrie-like armor and a prosthetic that replaces her right arm. She is not only a demigoddess but also a princess, one of the strongest warriors and military commanders in the Elden Ring world. Nobody has bested her in battles. She is an optional boss in the game and, interestingly enough, also the game’s main mascot, or rather, one of its main mascots.
“Elden Ring” is an action role-playing video game loosely based on the worldbuilding of fantasy writer George R. R. Martin., the man behind “A Song of Ice and Fire.” In this game, you control a customizable player character on a quest to become the new Elden Lord.
