Elden Ring: Every Mandatory Boss In Order
Elden Ring has a handful of mandatory boss fights in a sea of optional ones. While it is a very good idea to do as many optional fights as possible to gain runes to level up, it is also good to know which fights are absolutely unskippable to complete the story of Elden Ring. Being mandatory does not make these fights easy; in fact, they make up some of the hardest battles to win in the game.
While there are over one hundred Elden Ring bosses, only 12 of them are mandatory. If a player stuck to only these bosses, they would miss out on a lot of the game such as the entirety of the Weeping Peninsula, Caelid, Mt. Gelmir, and the Consecrated Snowfield. Additionally, they would miss out on nearly all side quests, which will give them less room in what ending they get.

These two bosses are the first non-optional fights players get to tackle. They are at the beginning and end of Stormveil Castle, which players must go through in order to access the northern half of the Lands Between. Margit is a boss a lot of players struggle with, as he has an extremely aggressive long chain of combos. However, players can get help by summoning Rogier and using Spirit Ashes. They can also purchase Margit's Shackle from Patches to stun him for a bit for easy hits.
Players that get past Margit usually don't have much difficulty with Godrick the Grafted. Players can summon Nepheli Loux for help. The biggest strategy is to stay out of Godrick's line of sight and not get stuck behind anything so that dodging remains easy. Like Margit, he also has two phases. In phase two, players have a great attacking opportunity from behind when he does a fire breath attack.
