Starscourge Radahn

As a result of his scarlet rot affliction, he became insane, crippled, and feral due to his insanity and rage.

The Royal Capital of Leyndell is where he can be found. A year and a half ago, he and his twin brother Mohg were imprisoned in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds for the crime of being born into Omen royalty.

As a result of the worship of the One-Eyed/Fell God, Queen Marika waged war on the Fire Giants.

Malenia, Blade of Miquella
In the beginning, Malenia was born as the twin of Miquella, the most powerful Empyrean of them all. When Caelid unleashed the Scarlet Rot on Starscourge Radahn during the Shattering, the city was reduced to ruins. It is Malenia who lives in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree, with a prosthetic arm and leg. The boss in Elden Ring does not have to be defeated in order for players to advance in the game.

Known as the Lord of Blood, Mohg is a powerful Omen demigod who is known for his blood magic skills. In order to find him, you need to go to Mohgwyn Palace, which is located inside the Siofra River. As a result of Mohg’s encounter with the Formless Mother, he fully embraced his accursed Omen blood and was able to wield bloodflame magic for the first time.

Regal Ancestor Spirit
In a similar way to the Ancestor Spirit found in the Siofra River, the Regal Ancestor Spirit can also be seen as a large, animated carcass of a deer-like creature. In spite of this, this boss is found in Nokron, the Eternal City, and it has more skills than its counterpart. According to the Ancestral Followers, ancestral spirits come from long-lived animals with horns that constantly grew and bloomed like antlers as they lived their long lives. In contrast to the Erdtree and the Golden Order, the Erdtree does not accept the belief that new life is born from the death of a being, or that power can be derived from death. It is not necessary for players to defeat this boss in order to advance in Elden Ring. There is, however, the possibility of finding useful items and runes in it.
- Weakness: Slash, Fire, Holy
- Resistance: Bleed, Frost, Scarlet Rot, Poison
- Immune: None
- Affected by: None
- Spirit Ashes Available: Yes
- Runes Rewarded: 24,000 (NG)
- Recommended Level: 60
- Summonable NPCs: None
- Item Drops: Remembrance of the Regal Ancestor
- Location: In Hallowhorn Grounds (North), you can find the Regal Ancestor Spirit by touching the Ancestral Remain. To reach this boss, you must first light six towers in the area. The nearest Site of Grace will be the Ancestral Woods.
- To Beat: Due to the Regal Ancestor Spirit’s resistance to bleeding, bleeding attacks and weapons will not be as effective in this fight. When the Regal Ancestor Spirit heals, it can also siphon health from Spirit Ash. To maintain enough stamina to constantly attack the Spirit, use a shield that blocks 100% of physical attacks. Focus your attacks on its head to deal more damage and to potentially stun it.
Astel, Naturalborn of the Void
In Grand Cloister, Lake of Rot, Astel, Naturalborn of the Void is a strange alien lifeform composed of many-colored star debris that landed in the Lands Between long ago. The sky of one of the Eternal Cities was wiped out by Astel. Due to the starry night skies of both Nokron and Nokstella, it is possible that the Nameless Eternal City that the Site of Grace in Deeproot Depths was named after was Astel’s unfortunate target. Players do not need to defeat this boss in order to advance in Elden Ring, but it is required to reach the Moonlight Altar and complete Ranni the Witch’s quest.

- Resistance: Magic, Fire, Holy, Lightning
- Immune: Frost, Sleep, Madness, Instant Death
- Affected by: Poison, Scarlet Rot, Bleed

If you target Astel’s head, you will deal more damage to it and eventually stagger it. To avoid being attacked by Astel’s laserbeam, don’t get too far away from it
Lichdragon Fortissax
There is a massive four-winged black dragon in Deeproot Depths known as Fortissax that wields powerful lightning attacks to attack its opponents. When the forces of Leyndell fought against the ancient dragons and the forces of Fortissax, Godwyn befriended Fortissax during the War of the Ancient Dragons. After Fortissax passed away, he was corrupted by the death blight that afflicted him after his death. In order to complete Fia’s questline and achieve the “Age of Duskborn” ending, it is necessary to defeat this boss.
- Weakness: Thrust
- Resistance: Holy, Lightning, Bleed, Frost, Scarlet Rot, Poison
- Immune: Sleep, Madness, Instant Death
- Affected by: Poison, Scarlet Rot, Bleed, Frost
- Spirit Ashes Available: Yes
- Runes Rewarded: 90,000 (NG)

- To Beat: To reduce Lichdragon Fortissax’s lightning damage, equip the Boltdrake Talisman. It is easy to telegraph Lichdragon Fortissax’s attacks and find openings due to its slow attack animations. Fortissax’s large body makes AOE (area of effect) and multi-hit moves extremely effective. Holy and Lightning attacks should be avoided since it is highly resistant to them.
Godskin Duo
In Godskin Duo, you will have to fight Godskin Apostle and Godskin Noble simultaneously. The fight takes place in Crumbling Farum Azula. An Empyrean known as the Gloam-Eyed Queen led the Godskin Apostles. A black flame powerful enough to kill a god was able to be wielded by her and her followers. As a result, Maliketh defeated the Gloam-Eyed and locked away the source of their power, Destined Death. For players to progress to the rest of Crumbling Farum Azula, they must defeat this boss.

The fight will be much easier if you summon Mimic Ashes, especially if they’re leveled at least +7. Bernahl could also be summoned to assist. Sleepbone Arrows or Sleep Pots can be used to put one of the Godskin Duo to sleep so that you will only have to deal with one at a time.
Dragonlord Placidusax
Crumbling Farum Azula is home to Dragonlord Placidusax, a massive, two-headed dragon. Placidusax had at least two more heads removed by the time the Tarnished reaches him, according to the Old Lord’s Talisman. During the reign of Marika and the Golden Order, he ruled over the Lands Between before his god, the outer god of dragons, left. According to legend, the Ancient Dragon and Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones are scales of the Dragonlord. The Smithing Stones are capable of harming and slaying gods because of their unique ability to twist time. Elden Ring does not require players to defeat this boss to advance.

Maliketh, the Black Blade
In Crumbling Farum Azula, Maliketh is the second and final form of the Beast Clergyman. A transitional cutscene shows the Clergyman’s cloak being burned off to reveal his armor and Maliketh pulling out the Black Blade from his left hand. Maliketh is Queen Marika’s shadow-bound beast, just as Blaidd is to Ranni. His failure to guard the Rune of Death led to the Night of the Black Knives. To prevent this from happening again, he imbued his flesh with the rune. To reach Leyndell, Ashen Capital, players must defeat this boss.

You can summon the Mimic Tear Ashes to tank and distract the boss while you freely hit him, or you can summon Lhutel the Headless to assist.

Hoarah Loux, Warrior
The second to last fight in Leyndell, Ashen Capital has to do with Hoarah Loux, Warrior (also known as Godfrey, First Elden Lord). It is he who guards the entrance to Erdtree that he guards.

Radagon of the Golden Order
The Elden Throne contains Radagon, a tall, fractured god who wields the hammer that shattered the Elden Ring. Previously married to Rennala, he became Queen Marika’s consort after Godfrey was exiled from the Lands Between. Upon completing Brother Corhyn & Goldmask’s quest to a certain point, it is revealed that he is Queen Marika’s “other half.” Although both are of one body, they do not share the same will, as evidenced by Radagon trying to repair the Elden Ring after Marika shattered it.

Elden Beast
In the game, this boss appears immediately after defeating Radagon of the Golden Order, so it is not optional. Weapons, Incantations, and Spirit Ashes that inflict Black Flame are highly recommended as they deal damage over time based on the boss’ maximum HP. Furthermore, stamina-boosting equipment is recommended since the boss is highly mobile and you may find yourself using a lot of Stamina chasing it.
