All Main Bosses In Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

The Land of Shadow in Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is home to various powerful bosses to defeat as you follow the path behind Miquella and uncover his purpose in these twisted lands. However, not all bosses need to be defeated to complete the DLC; some are main bosses, while others are optional.

If you're aiming to progress through the DLC by focusing only on the main bosses, or if you simply want to know which main boss is next on your journey, we've got you covered. Below, we will outline all of the main bosses and their locations in Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree.

All Main Bosses In Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

To clear or beat the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in Elden Ring, you need to defeat a total of seven main bosses. The goal is to reach the top of the Tower of Shadow, and some bosses can be tackled in different orders depending on your preference. Here's a breakdown of all seven main bosses you'll need to defeat across Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree:

1. Divine Beast Dancing Lion
2. Rellana, Twin Moon Knight
3. Golden Hippopotamus
4. Romina, Saint of the Bud
5. Messmer the Impaler
6. Needle Knight Leda
7. Promised Consort Radahn

Starting with the Divine Beast Dancing Lion is recommended as it serves as a skill check for the DLC. There are other optional bosses you can take on first to prepare yourself, but defeating the Lion is essential.

After the Lion, you'll need to clear the Sealing Tree, which requires defeating Rellana, Twin Moon Knight. However, to clear the tree, you need Messmer's Kindling, obtainable only by defeating Messmer the Impaler.

Once the Lion is down, you can choose to defeat either Rellana or Messmer first (Rellana is recommended as Messmer is a tougher fight). After these initial bosses, you can decide on the order in which to progress through the remaining bosses listed above. Be sure to collect as many Scadutree Blessings as you can, as they will be crucial for taking on any of these bosses in Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree.
