Whether you have the invention of committing a large-scale genocide in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, sparing no one, or it is simply out of curiosity, in order to estimate the lifespan, here is a summary of all the main information about them in the expansion.
Number of bosses in the DLC
Let’s start by clarifying that the answer to this question depends on how you count. There are 9 Furnace Golems, and they are harder than a lot of bosses, while their health bar is not displayed at the bottom of the screen for example. We could also count Ulcerous Putrid Tree Roots, some unique enemies like Black Knights, and invasions like Queelign’s. For reference, there are 66 enemies of this type approximately.
Limiting ourselves strictly to the enemies treated as such by the game, there is a total of 41 bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree. This total increases to 42 counting
Leda and her allies
which is a somewhat special case. Once again, remember that these figures may vary a little depending on your criteria.
List of Legendary Bosses
All bosses in this list drop a Memory. This is not, however, a full representation of their power or importance. Only 3 of them are required to reach the end of the DLC.
Major Bosses
The following bosses are either very difficult and important in our eyes, or followed by the message “Major enemy killed” when you achieve victory.
- 3 Spectral Flame Dragons
- 3 Dragons of the Jagged Peak
- Golden Hippopotamus
- Jori, Chief Inquisitor
- A second Dancing Lion of the Divine Beast
- Senessax the Elder Dragon
- Bayle the Terrible
- Leda and her allies

Boss Positions
Here is a map with the position of all the bosses present in the Shadow Realm. Please note that they are often in underground dungeons, which completely distorts their position on the map.
- Red: Legendary Bosses
- Orange: Major Bosses
- Green: Other Bosses
Which boss is the hardest?
There is a very broad consensus among players about this in Shadow of the Erdtree. The final boss, Radahn, Future Consort is considered the hardest boss, by far.
