Elden Ring is a massive game. Most players will spend around 100 hours playing the game and discovering everything the game has to offer. Because of that, there are a lot of areas to explore in Elden Ring. Despite the map being so big, the developers managed to make the map feel full and alive, which is often rare for open-world games.
Part of the content in Elden Ring is the bosses that are in the game. FromSoftware is very famous for making difficult bosses in their games and in Elden Ring, they are more difficult than ever. Throughout your adventures in The Lands Between, you will likely meet with a large number of bosses in the game. But how many bosses are in Elden Ring exactly? Here, we will go over that answer.
How Many Bosses Are There In Elden Ring?
The fact of the matter is there are a lot of bosses in Elden Ring. Each boss will have its way to defeat it, giving players a unique challenge for every fight. There are very few repeats when it comes to the bosses, and when there are, there is a twist added to keep the fights feeling fresh for the players.
In total, there are 238 bosses in Elden Ring. This is a staggering amount considering that FromSoftware bosses are famous for being difficult. There is a large number of small dungeons hidden throughout the game, and there is often a boss guarding that dungeon. The amount of bosses makes exploring the map of Elden Ring worth it.
