Have you ever wanted to play the game of the year? Look no further, for two experts are giving an in depth review on the top five hardest bosses in Elden Ring. Elden Ring broke so many records, the one that stands out is selling over 20 million copies, so we are excited to share our information with you. Elden Ring is an open world story game that came out in 2022 where the focus is to beat the bosses, progress through the game and become the Elden Lord. All bosses on this list you will have to defeat to become the Elden Lord and rule the lands between. The bosses in this list are the hardest to beat in our opinion; this will be for many reasons which are unique to each character.
The fifth hardest boss in the Elden ring is Maliketh, The Black Blade. The first phase of this fight is not hard to get past, he doesn’t have much health. His attacks are slower and easier to dodge in the first phase. When you get to phase two it feels like a completely different boss. Maliketh starts doing very fast attacks that are not easy to dodge. His weak point is his health, if you can dodge you will be able to build up enough damage to kill him. Maliketh gave me some trouble and it makes it more annoying to get past his fist phase and then lose so fast to his second phase.
The fourth hardest boss in Elden Ring is Radagon Of The Golden Order/Elden Beast This is a two stage boss fight containing two different bosses in each stage. The real challenge comes from the Elden Beast, not only is he the more powerful and difficult boss to beat, you most likely won't have as many health and mana flasks due to not them not refilling after you beat the first boss Radagon. Not only will you not have enough flasks but the eldenbeasts attacks are not weak either, they are hard to dodge and deal loads of damage. On top of all of these difficulties the Elden Beast is very mobile making it hard to get good damage on him before he gains more distance and unleashes his attacks depleting your already low health pool.
The third hardest boss in the Elden ring is the Godskin Duo. This boss brings a whole new challenge in the way that you have to deal with two bosses at once. We see this a couple times throughout the game but these are by far the most powerful. The combo of ranged attacks and close fast attacks is very hard to dodge. The easiest way to beat the duo is to focus on one and before he respawns, get as much damage in as you can on the other one. The Godskin Noble does have a very confusing roll attack. To dodge this all you have to do is get on one of the pillars in the room. If you fail to do this it could be fatal. The Godskin Duo definitely was a challenge for me and took lots of strategy.
The second hardest boss in Elden Ring is Starscourge Radahn. Radahn rides on a horse and has mastered the art of gravity. He has a couple spells including one where he throws meteorites at you. He is very fast because he is always mounted on his horse. His attacks are not very fast but deal lots of damage. One good thing about this fight is that you're provided with many summons. This makes the fight much easier because Radahn will lock onto the other enemies instead of you. This allows for many free shots on Radahn. This is my favorite boss in the game, but he definitely gives people some trouble.

Finally, the hardest boss in the elden ring is Malenia, Blade Of Miquella. Melania has many things that makes her annoyingly difficult, she is insanely aggressive leaving no time for healing and buffs, she also heals every time she hits you forcing you to have perfect dodges and to always keep damage on her and she is also very strong each of her hits do massive damage and they build up scarlet rot a very dangerous poison that can easily end your fight if you aren't careful. In addition to all of these powers her second phase makes her all the more difficult to fight. Her second phase adds wings to her arsenal, increasing her damage and making her quicker.
