Let us describe first the types of bosses in Elden Ring. There are 3 types of Bosses in Elden Ring: (1)Field Bosses, (2)Greater Enemy Bosses (Mini-Boss), and (3)Demigods, Lords, and Legends.
Field Bosses – These are the lowest-tier among the bosses. These bosses indicate an “Enemy Felled” notification when defeated.
Greater Enemy Bosses – These bosses grant or open-up access to important locations or drop powerful items once defeated. They are stronger than field bosses and notify “Great Enemy Felled” when slain.
Demigods, Lords, and Legends – These are the most powerful bosses in the game and provide equally powerful loots such as the Great Runes or Mending Runes.
Limgrave is your first accessible area in the game. It has abundant wildlife with four (4) general areas: Limgrave East and West, Stormhill, and Stormveil Castle. East of Limgrave serves as an access point to the Siofra river.
