Boss rating It’s been interesting to read about what everyone thinks is the worst Elden Ring boss over the last few days. I think my least favourite is Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon but I can see why people would get frustrated with the Godskin Duo as well. I’ll turn it around though and instead ask what people think is the best boss?

As much as I love the game, I do have some sympathy with people saying that, overall, the bosses are a bit of a disappointment and not as consistent as previous From games. This seems an obvious case of stretching yourself too thin, given how many bosses there are, but I still think there are a number of top tier ones.

I want to say Malenia, Blade of Miquella is the best, but I think she’s just a bit too hard to qualify. One-hit kill attacks and the ability to drain your health is just too much, especially as it’s relatively easy to get her to her second phase and that’s where the pain begins.

I think my actual favourite is Mohg, Lord of Blood, who I think is actually optional (it’s a bit hard to tell most of the time). I like him because he’s not gimmicky and he’s not artificially difficult, he’s just a big chunky challenge that I really enjoyed learning the tells from and how to avoid all his attacks. When you start off with him, he seems impossible and when you finish with him you’re just dancing around him, almost putting him out of his misery.

That’s the magic of From games for me and I think Mohg and a number of the others gets it exactly right. Game of the Year for sure, probably
