Top 15 HARDEST Elden Ring: Shadow of The Erdtree Bosses That MADE US CRY

Over the last decade and a half, FromSoftware has released some of the most difficult games ever made, so it should come as absolutely no surprise that with the recently released Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, the studio has stuck to that pattern.
Even by its standards though, the expansion is a grueling, punishing, immensely challenging experience, and is brimming with some of the most devastating boss fights that FromSoftware has delivered across all of its games. That is, of course, incredibly high praise, but Shadow of the Erdtree makes sure that it’s well earned.
Here, we’re going to talk about the bosses in the expansion that are most deserving of that praise and provide some of the stiffest challenge in any FromSoftware game to date.

Every other boss is learnable
:Spoilers:
Radahn however can go off himself, some of his strings are too fast to dodge consistently and that stupid lightning AOE and meteor lunge he does are annoying. Dont even get me started on phase 2....

[@shaolinshefgaming400]

I've seen people using shields to face tank his bs lol

[@adachy]

he was the only boss i needed multiplayer for in the whole game and yet im not even mad about it

[@3DCommando]

that move where he chops down on you 6 times in 2 seconds is fucking insane man. I feel bad for anyone who isnt playing the wall with the DLC

[@tytar1037]

I literally killed Messer in 10 seconds. Or about 3 charge attacks and a crit. With blood infused Bloodfiend arm. Charge attack setup. Cragblade. I’m lvl 150.

[@user-gf2sr8ok2e]

Still waiting for FromSoft to add Godzilla as a boss fight

[@3DCommando]

Bayle is as close as it gets I think

[@misterhoobomaster]

Fighting DLC Radahn (legit with no cheese or mimic) was the hardest experience I've had in any souls game (and yes I've played them all many times).
Edit: Took me probably 3 hours to beat his ass on NG+4

[@dontworry3763]

NG+ doesn’t matter for dlc bud

[@Trash0000]

3 is solid in my book. Took me over 8 hours lmao.

[@Branmuffin035]

@@dontworry3763 RL doesn’t matter as much, but each NG still scales. Check the health pools on the Wiki.

You're saying 3 hours like that's a lot. Fighting radahn solo took me 10 😭. It was worth it tho. That fight was great

[@adachy]

messmer took me 6

[@evolancer211]

Wanna try saying repertoire again?

[@evolancer211]

That move at 9:24, damn lol

[@johnbot1778]

You're using magic... against rellana.

[@SeiyaSoiya-un4jj]

I’ve platinumed every Souls game, but my death counter on Messmer is 92 and counting. For me, this is the hardest boss From has ever made. It’s borderline not fun.

[@jasonyoung7557]

Blackgaol Knight is easy to cheese with the Elden Beast's sword skill.

[@atasteofreality609]

Yup

[@AndrewAung1992]

It doesn't really make sense for you guys to do boss rankings, if you use summons. Use summons by all means, however like IGN at least one of you guys should do the rankings list without summons.

[@samwalkee6268]

I disagree. Summons aren’t for everybody, I personally don’t use them however they are a mechanic within the game.

[@AndrewAung1992]

@@samwalkee6268 I get it use by all means it's in the game. However IGN did a boss ranking, they are game journalists too and the one that did the rankings beat the bosses without.

[@skillywilly187]

Even ghost dragon is nigh impossible.i came in the dlc in ng 3 so im really getting my moneys worth. Messmer to 30 tries..

[@DucLuc.]

I'm kind of confused, for me it was 3 hrs to defeat Rellana and then 10 minutes for Bayle, that's also the next main boss that I've done after Rellana... I'm still not understanding what I was doing wrong 😂

[@Fusion237]

Rellana combo strings are bs and that damn moon attack bro☠️

[@tkf28]

You chose to cry.

[@azooz8681]

man trying to finish the DLC with no summon is the hardest challenge i have ever tried in a video game, I have been stuck on rhadan fight for days now but i can feel it, its close .............(i said it days ago, please send help, im losing my sanity)

[@AndrewAung1992]

I beat 4 times, use status effect build up weapons. The boss is so hard I can't do it solo without bleed or frost.

[@kurtisbiggins4594]

Second

[@karls.8193]

I just don't like the way the bosses in Elden Ring are designed. They're all far too wild and unpredictable. You roll through the area like a madman. It was more fun and fairer in the old Souls games.

[@Keith7BIP7Feraren]

Sounds like a skill issue

[@karls.8193]

@@Keith7BIP7Feraren No because I am able to defeat them, but it is not that funny.

[@azooz8681]

indeed my brother, i have defeated every boss from DS3 and sekiro and after playing the DLC im now 100%convinced that DS3 is much more enjoyable game, fair and balanced bosses with no inflatable difficulty like this wacky DLC, yeah messmer was really fun, Renella was a tough yet enjoyable fight, the remaining ? not much
