All new bosses in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has arrived. As part of the new DLC, FromSoftware has added a ton of new powerful bosses for you to test your combat skills. We’ve got details on all the new bosses in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, so you’ve got the key details when it comes to going head-to-head with the enemies in this mammoth expansion.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Remembrance Bosses
In total, there are ten Remembrance Bosses in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. This means that upon killing them, they drop Remembrance items, which you can exchange with Finger Reader Enia in Roundtable Hold for powerful new Shadow of the Erdtree weapons and armor. Because of this, all of these new bosses Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree are considered important to the story, even if not all are required to actually progress through the game.

- Drops: 90,000 Runes, Remembrance of the Dancing Lion, Divine Beast Head, and Divine Beast Tornado
- Where to find: Belurat, Tower Settlement
Divine Beast Dancing Lion will likely be your first Remembrance Boss in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. It’s a great way for the DLC to kick off, giving you your first taste of the challenges ahead. Out of all new bosses in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, it’s one of the most visually interesting, too.
Rellana, Twin Moon Knight

- Drops: 240,000 Runes and Remembrance of the Twin Moon Night
- Where to find: Castle Ensis
Rellana, Twin Moon Knight is a multi-phase fight that will almost certainly frustrate you trying to complete it. Her attacks are tough to read, meaning you’ll likely have to try this one a few times before you manage to get it right. Find her in Castle Ensis and take down the dual-greatsword-wielding foe for some nice rewards.
Putrescent Knight

- Drops: 220,000 Runes and Remembrance of Putrescence
- Where to find: Stone Coffin Fissure
To prepare for the Putrescent Knight, make sure you’ve stocked up on Scadutree Fragments to deal more and take less damage. This is a fight that deals a ton of damage, thanks to the two components of the Putrescent Knight being able to detach from one another. Of all new bosses in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, this is one of the toughest.
Messmer the Impaler

- Drops: 400,000 Runes, Remembrance of the Impaler, and Messmer’s Kindling
- Where to find: Shadow Keep
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s cover star, Messmer the Impaler, makes for a challenging duel. It’s a visual spectacle across both stages, so you’ll need to be patient and study the attack patterns meticulously before you have any success with this one. In terms of rewards, Messmer the Impaler probably has the best boss reward in the game, so there’s that.
Commander Gaius

- Drops: 230,000 Runes and Remembrance of the Wild Boar Rider
- Where to find: Scaduview
Riding his boar into battle, Commander Gaius is a formidable threat, combining speed and magic for a deadly challenge. One of the only new bosses in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree that fights from a mount, offering a unique boss fight experience.
Scadutree Avatar

- Drops: 260,000 Runes, Remembrance of the Shadow Sunflower, and Miquella’s Great Rune
- Where to find: Scadutree Base
Scadutree Avatar is one of the most annoying of all the new bosses in Elden Ring, as you have to empty its health bar three times to kill it for good, with new attacks each time. Good luck.
Metyr, Mother of Fingers

- Drops: 420,000 Runes and Remembrance of the Mother of Fingers
- Where to find: Finger Birthing Grounds
Metyr, Mother of Fingers is one of the most haunting designs of all the new bosses in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, with fingers galore adorning its design. While not necessary to complete the DLC, we’d recommend you take on the challenge, if only to see the awesome design for yourself.
Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame

- Drops: 410,000 Runes and Remembrance of the Lord of Frenzied Flame
- Where to find: Midra’s Manse, Abyssal Woods
Head to Midra’s Manse in the Abyssal Woods to come face-to-face with Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame. It takes a real masochist to enjoy this one. With multiple attacks that can one-shot an underprepared player as well as a powerful arsenal of area-of-effect attacks, we wish you all the best with this one.
Romina, Saint of the Bud

- Drops: 380,000 Runes and Remembrance of the Saint of the Bud
- Where to find: Church of the Bud
Romina, Saint of the Bud makes for a creepy design, but the fight isn’t all that scary once you get to grips with the attack patterns. Avoid her butterflies and keep up the pressure to defeat Romina, Saint of the Bud for some awesome rewards.
Promised Consort Radahn

- Drops: 375,000 Runes and Remembrance of a God and a Lord
- Where to find: Enir-Ilim
The final boss of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is fittingly the toughest. Learning how to beat Promised Consort Radahn will be a tough task, as he will make minced meat of any player not adequately leveled and rigged out with the strongest armor. A two-stage fight, Promised Consort Radahn transforms into Radahn, Consort of Miquella after reaching 75% health.
