The Lands Between is a challenging game with many enemies trying to take you down, but the bosses will make you really work for your victory. ..
- The Elden Throne’s creatures are some of the most beautiful and impressive I’ve ever seen.
- Their designs are well thought out and well executed, making them stand out from the rest of the game.
- They’re also very visually appealing, which is a huge plus.
- However, there are a few creatures that could use some improvement - they’re not as well designed as they could be, for example.
- But overall, these monsters are fantastic and deserve to be ranked number one!
10. Grave Warden Duelist
Grave Warden Duelist is one of the first bosses you’ll face in any playthrough, and it’s located in the Murkwater Catacombs in Limgrave. ..
These beefy gladiators look almost exactly like Hades in God of War III, and they fight just about the same way too. Whereas the Greek god swung giant hooks on chains, the Grave Wardens try to crush you under their chained mallets.
This is a quote from the author, who is discussing how hammers are used as weapons in heavy metal music.
9. Red Wolf of Radagon
Sif is a powerful and deadly enemy that appears in the first game and the sequel, Dark Souls. She is a giant wolf-like creature with a long snout, sharp teeth, and a deadly attack that can knock players down. Great Grey Wolf Sif is one of the most powerful enemies in Dark Souls, and she can easily take down even the strongest player. Her attacks are fast and furious, so be prepared to dodge her every move!
The Red Wolf of Radagon is the closest equivalent in Elden Ring, replacing the gray fur with a bright red and orange coat and wielding a variety of magical moves against the player.
The Old Wolf of Farron is a planned boss that was ultimately cut from the game DS3. It is designed to resemble the Old Wolf of Farron from the video game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which was also cut from the game.
A red wolf for the red-maned Radagon is a perfect fit – and the way it remains at Raya Lucaria, guarding Radagon’s former lover Rennala and their progeny is heartwarming.
8. Sir Gideon-Ofnir, the All-Knowing
I think Sir Gideon the All-Knowing is a very cool chap.
He is the Elden Lord’s most persistent and dangerous foe. He stalks you all around the Lands Between during your travels, waiting to see you fail, and probably cursing under his breath every time you succeed in your journey to become Elden Lord. ..
Eventually, he decides to face you, waiting for your arrival (for who knows how long) at the same spot you fought against the Golden Shade of Godfrey.
The opening sequence, where he’s shown in a coffin, has helped him rank high on the list. It adds mystery to the character! ..
7. Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast
Throughout your journey through the Lands Between, you’ll come across several Fallenstar Beasts – envoys of an Outer God residing outside the planet where Elden Ring takes place. These creatures are incredibly powerful and can easily overwhelm even the most seasoned adventurers. Be prepared for these beasts, as they will test your skills to their limits. ..
The creatures known as Astel, or Naturalborn of the Void, are born from a meteorite. They go through a long developmental process until they reach their full potential. ..
That said, I think the preceding stage looks way better than Astel. ..
This bizarre creature looks like a mixture of a bull and centipede covered in what looks like obsidian – or maybe polished meteorite ore. ..
An obsidian bull is a creature that is very dangerous and can be quite spiky. It has sharp pincers on its back and a spiky tail.
Pokémon should copy this for a better gaming experience. ..
6. Crucible Knight Ordovis
The Crucible Knights are a relatively common sight throughout the Lands Between. They’re all dressed in the same armor, with slight variations on their helmets. Some of them may be members of the military, others may be mercenaries, but all of them share one common goal: to protect and serve their king and queen.
The bright golden wings of Ordovis are a sight to behold, lifting him high into the sky as he prepares to lunge at you. With his greatsword drawn, he is ready to fight.
The Lesser Crucible Knight is one of the most important members of the fight against Ordovis. He provides support as well as protection for the player, and his presence makes the fight much harder.
Some might think that ganging up on you isn’t honorable for a proud knight, but it’s pretty fair if you summon some help yourself.
5. Ancient Dragon Lansseax
I remember the first time I encountered the Omen. It was a dark and stormy night, and I was out scavenging for food in a derelict warehouse. As I walked through the door, I saw a figure standing in the shadows, watching me.
I was about to run into the dragon when it came crashing down from the sky.
Lansseax’s entrance is sure to make an impact.
This Ancient Dragon is one of the most powerful enemies in the game. She has four colossal wings, a white/gold coat of stone scales, and high-voltage red thunder running through her body. Her attacks are incredibly powerful and can easily take down even the strongest characters.
4. Malenia, Blade of Miquella
Malenia is a well-known figure in the world of swordsmanship. She is known for her exceptional skills with a blade, and has even achieved some notoriety among other swordfighters. ..
Elden Ring has left a lasting impression on many people, even those who never got the chance to experience it firsthand.
Malenia is one of the most powerful demi-gods in the Lands Between, and she’s also one of the most beautiful. ..
The woman in the wings is a Valkyrie, and her golden arm and leg prosthetics are a perfect blend of regal and bad-ass.
Not content with being unbeatable the first time, Malenia will come back to life for a second round right after the first. She’ll grow wings made of butterflies and baring her ripped androgynous body.
That’s one image I won’t get out of my mind anytime soon. Some people call that PTSD. I call it good boss design. ..
3. Lichdragon Fortissax
Lansseax, the Lichdragon Forstissax, is a magnificent ancient dragon who commands thunder. ..
Fortissax’s corruption after years of fighting a losing battle against the Deathblight spreading through his good friend Godwyn - now the Prince of Death - has marked a significant difference between them. ..
The Deathblight has covered his body in dark scales and thorny vines. His golden magnificence shines through the cracks.
The red thunder will look amazing on Lansseax, but it’s even more impressive running through the four-winged black-and-gold monster. It’s truly a sight to behold. ..
2. Godfrey, First Elden Lord (Hoarah Loux)
Elden Lord is a title that can be earned by proving that you’re the biggest, baddest badass around. To become Elden Lord, you must prove that you’re the most powerful and feared figure in the Lands Between.
Godfrey, formerly known as Hoarah Loux, was a valiant warrior before his untimely death. He will be missed by all who knew him. ..
Godfrey looks like an older version of Hercules, with a glorious braided beard, magnificent armor, and an armored lion spirit biting deep into his flesh.
He becomes more powerful after you lower his health. In the second phase of the fight, he removes the lion and bathes in its blood, regaining the savage strength of Hoarah Loux.
This guy has a lot of swag, and he’s built like a brick house. ..
1. Maliketh, the Black Blade
The Crumbling Farum Azula is one of the most visually stunning areas in Elden Ring – and its final boss has the coolest design in the entire game.
You face Gurranq, the Beast Clergyman because he’s been feeding Deathroot in exchange for incantations.
It can be challenging to shave off half a man’s health in a short amount of time, but the real fun starts after you’ve done it.
Gurranq, the Black Blade, has taken the Rune of Death within himself for safekeeping and become a bloodthirsty beast.
He’s a creature of the night, a being of pure evil that is unrivaled in its power and malice. The blade that he brandishes is a deadly weapon, and it seems to have nothing but contempt for all who oppose it.
This guy looks like he’s from the Souls series, which is a perfect compliment for FromSoftware boss Hidetaka Miyazaki.
