There are bosses that are used to gauge the player's skills, such as the Tree Sentinel at the beginning of the game. There are also strong, recurring boss battles, like multiple fights with the Fallingstar Beast, and a very unlucky player found that Elden Ring is simply relentless when it comes to taking them all down in a video posted to Reddit.

The Fallingstar Beast is a recurring boss in Elden Ring, and it is capable of decimating players' health pools to zero quickly with rush attacks, gravity magic that surrounds the beast itself, a magic beam and a deadly attack: a piercing grab that deals an extreme amount of damage and cannot be blocked.
