Elden Ring: How To Defeat All Death Rite Birds
Death Rite Bird is a Field Boss in Elden Ring. The boss is optional and is not mandatory for any ending in the game. To face the boss, one must change the time of the day to Night Time for a Death Bird to spawn. Death Birds are considered one of the easier bosses in the game.
