Deathbird in Elden Ring is a Field Boss that you will encounter in different areas of the game. These creatures of death are found at night-time. Throughout your exploration of the vast areas, a Deathbird will drop from the sky, and the music will intensify. The Deathbirds have stronger versions known as Death Rite Birds, which you will encounter multiple times as well.

Some players will find the Deathbirds challenging in the early stages of the game. However, the boss has a normal moveset and a massive weakness you can exploit. Here is all you need to know about Deathbirds.
The Deathbirds are located in different areas of the game. To find them, you will have to change the time to Night-time and roam the area until the bird of death drops from the sky. Defeating each Deathbird will get you Armament, Shield, and Talismans. The boss fights are optional, and you do not have to complete them if you are facing trouble. They do not affect any ending whatsoever, so you can come back later in the game when you have gained more levels.
