Like other FromSoftware games, Elden Ring is largely defined by its epic-scale boss encounters, with players having to fight and defeat all matter of twisted beasts, deadly warriors, and jaw-dropping monstrosities. Elden Ring has more bosses than any other game in FromSoftware history, and now fans can see what they look like from the smallest boss in the game all the way to the largest boss thanks to a new video uploaded to YouTube by Garden of Eyes.
Garden of Eyes is a content creator that focuses on FromSoftware content. They previously created an April Fools' Day prank video about Elden Ring's cut ending, and now they've made a video showing all the bosses in order from smallest to largest. The video itself takes place in the open water area with the large moon in the background, a visually-striking place where players fight Rennala in her second phase.
The humanoid Elden Ring bosses are all relatively normal-size, but some are abnormally tall. There's a huge jump in size when the Elden Ring dragons are reached, as they are all massive creatures. The two largest non-dragon bosses are confirmed by the video to be the Elden Beast, who is the last boss that players encounter in the game, and the Fire Giant.
The absolute largest boss in Elden Ring should come as no surprise to anyone that's played the game extensively. Greyoll the massive dragon is the largest boss enemy in all of Elden Ring, dwarfing even the Fire Giant with its sheer size. Despite how large Greyoll is, though, he's not nearly as much of a threat as some of the smaller enemies in the video. After all, Scarlet Rot has left Greyoll stuck to the ground, and it's fairly easy for Elden Ring players to simply swipe away at his hind legs to kill him and snag some easy runes in the process.
The video does a good job of highlighting the impressive boss variety in Elden Ring. Yes, there are some repeat Elden Ring bosses that look and act similar to some other ones, but there's still quite a lot that come in different shapes and sizes.
It will be interesting to see if FromSoftware introduces even larger bosses if the rumors of an Elden Ring DLC expansion have any truth to them. Nothing has been announced so far, but FromSoftware tends to release DLC for most of its games, and considering Elden Ring's incredible sales success, one has to imagine that it's in the cards.
Elden Ring is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
