Elden Ring: Legendary Boss Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In Elden Ring, a legendary boss is the biggest threat you'll need to deal with on your way toward the Elden Throne, and the primary source of Remembrances and Great Runes.

Legendary Boss Locations spanning the peaks of the Mountaintops of the Giants to the shifting citadels of the Nightreign expansion unlock the game's ultimate weapons, spells, and world-ending narrative conclusions.

The Lands Between: Shardbearers & Legends

These bosses are the cornerstone of the base game's progression and are required for the "Legendary Bosses" achievement.

• Godrick the Grafted: Found at the heart of Stormveil Castle (Limgrave).
• Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon: Located in the Grand Library of Raya Lucaria Academy (Liurnia).
• Starscourge Radahn: Encountered on the Wailing Dunes, accessed via Redmane Castle (Caelid).
• Morgott, the Omen King: Guards the Elden Throne in Leyndell, Royal Capital.
• Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy: Tucked away in the basement of Volcano Manor (Mt. Gelmir).
• Malenia, Blade of Miquella: Hidden at the base of Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree.
• Mohg, Lord of Blood: Found in the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum (Siofra River underground).
• Maliketh, the Black Blade: The final hurdle of Crumbling Farum Azula.

Realm of Shadow DLC Legendary Encounters

The expansion introduces a new tier of difficulty with bosses that define the history of the Erdtree's shadow.

• Messmer the Impaler: The central threat of Shadow Keep, accessible via the Specimen Storehouse.
• Rellana, Twin Moon Knight: Guards the exit of Castle Ensis in Scadu Altus.
• Romina, Saint of the Bud: Located in the Church of the Bud within the Ancient Ruins of Rauh.
• Bayle the Dread: The legendary drake at the summit of Jagged Peak.
• Promised Consort Radahn: The ultimate challenge located at the peak of Enir-Ilim.

2026 Nightreign: The Nightlords of Limveld

In the 2026 Nightreign expansion, the meta shifts to the randomized expeditions of the Limveld region. The Nightlords serve as the absolute endgame bosses.

• Gladius, Beast of Night: A three-headed beast found in the Tricephalos Expedition.
• Adel, Baron of Night: A gravity-wielding dragon located in the Gaping Jaw Expedition.
• Heolstor the Nightlord: The final boss of the expansion, appearing only after completing four successful expeditions.
• Randomized Mini-Bosses: Keep an eye on the Castle Sewers and Rooftops; these rooms spawn randomized high-level threats that grant the only Sites of Grace within the Nightreign Castle.

In the current versions of the game, defeating a Nightlord in the Limveld region is the best method for unlocking the "Nightfarer" tier of Spirit Summons.

If you are struggling with the randomized boss in the Castle Sewers, use the Spectral Hawk Tree to gain a vertical advantage.

Airborne players can often bypass the most dangerous ground-level mob pulls and land directly on the pressure plate shortcuts that lead to the "Choice of Talisman" chest.
