With such a huge amount of new bosses and locations added in Shadow of The Erdtree, it can be a little confusing working out what level to take them on. Like most FromSoftware games, the map can be navigated in pretty much any order, but this is my take on how you should approach all the bosses in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

Best order to fight the bosses in Shadow of The Erdtree: Recommended level, explained

This is how I went about tackling the various bosses in the Elden Ring DLC. I found the levelling of each was about right for me, and although I struggled, I knew it was a skill issue rather than a level one. Just make sure to check out the Scadutree Fragment guide so you’re as powerful as you need to be.

This will be based on your Blessing Level rather than the base Rune level. Although the Runes make a difference, the real game changer is Blessing Level in Shadow of The Erdtree. I would recommend you start the Shadow of The Erdtree DLC at around level 150 or above.

Main bosses recommended level

As you make your way through the main quests of Shadow of The Erdtree, you will encounter these bosses. It is possible to skip areas and end up way out of your depth. Getting to Jagged Peak and working your way up the mountain before level 10 is not going to be a good time. Check out this list, and see how you fare.

Dungeon bosses recommended level

Finding the various dungeon bosses around Shadow of The Erdtree is a great way to earn a few more levels and some great gear. There are plenty of them to find, but it’s good to know if they’re going to turn you into a pink paste before you head into their arena.
