OH ELDEN RING! It’s finally here. I’m 70 hours deep and completely obssessed. The Elden Ring bosses are phenomenal and as tough as the series has ever had. Today I’ll be ranking the easiest Elden Ring mini-bosses and the some of the (not so) hardest Elden Ring mini-bosses in part 1 of 2. Last time we ranked Elden Ring bosses including Godrick the Grafted, Rennala Queen of the Full Moon, Regal Ancestor Spirit, Sir Gideon Offnir the All Knowing, Fire Giant, Red Wolf of Radagon, Magma Wyrm Makar, Leonine Misbegotten, Tree Sentinel (Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree), Flying Dragon Agheel, Dragonkin Solider, Commander Niall, Malenia, Goddess of Rot, Maliketh the Black Blade, Dragonlord Placidusax, Mogh Lord of Blood, Margit the Fell, Morgott the Fell Omen, Starscourge Radahn, Godskin Duo, and a lot more!
Today we get to rank some lesser battles like Crucible Knight, Black Blade Kindred, Grafted Scion, Fallingstar Beast, Ancient Hero of Zamor, Alecto Black Knife Ringleader, Erdtree Avatar, Wormface, Cemetary Shade, Guardian Golem and plenty more. Quality rankings up next, with community rankings soon to follow!

This list varies greatly from person to person. Deathbird was an absolute joke (from the two I've versed so far) I personally would've placed Ulcerated Tree Spirit much Higher. I've completed Limgrave 100% The Hardest bosses for me are Bell Bearer, Tree Sentinel, Ulcerated Tree Spirit and Crucible Knight being the most difficult. I'm currently level 40.
The cemetery shade with the skeletons was the only time I ever needed to summon help
FYI Alecto is a woman. The spirit ashes you get are her daughter's.
For anyone struggling with the Fallingstar Beast, here's a huge tip that changed the game for me, as long as you're willing to semi-cheese it.
This boss is shockingly weak to the Hoarfrost Stomp Ash of War. Most weapons in the game can utilize it and you don't even need to spec into intelligence to use it effectively (I played a hero with 0 intelligence investment and it made a huge difference). As long as you bring enough FP flasks, it's one of the better methods for dealing with it and was the only reason I kept making attempts at killing it.
Full grown falling star, royal revenant and crucibal knight are the hardest. That royal guard just doesn't stop at all. He is just keep attacking and attacking. His attacks eat your whole hp within a second. It could not beat the falling star despite using mimic tear. He is just too fast.
Alecto and all the Black Knife enemies are female.
I cheesed the Grafted Scion in Stormveil Castle after getting destroyed by it several times. Using a bow from behind a doorway it couldn't get through allowed me to beat it.
The mini boss I had the most trouble with was the triple rot crystalians. The only time in the game I had to summon to beat anything
You were describing Alecto as a "he" but I'm sure Alecto is actually female, as it's said in the game that all black knife assassins are female, and the descriptions of the ashes for Black Knife Tiche say that Alecto is her mother.
2 charged heavy attacks (which are easy to pull off) will down the golem instantly and after the first downing you can lock him into falling bc when he gets up his ankles already are taking damage
#1 is just reskin blazing bull
Feel like magma wyrm, godskin nobles and the red wolves could have been put on this list for the amount of times they turn up, but I get they have achievements linked to them. Personally I found the crucible knights a fantastic fight but their parry timings are generous when you figure them out – very satisfying to get right. Also re: invisible black knife assassins, there's a torch you can get that makes them visible… Makes dodging that grab considerably easier
Laughs in Mimic Tear +10. Being a filthy casual is the way
You may want to rethink the rank for Royal Revenant. A good healing spell renders this guy practically useless.
Finished the game last night after what I thought was a pretty thorough playthrough, so surprised at never encountering several of these. Especially the death birds. One of the toughest mini bosses I found was the mini boss version of Astel
Ulcerated tree spirit should have been higher. That first fight with it was fucked because the area was so small and you could barely tell what moves it was gonna use
you’ve got a horrible opinion
Looking forward to the quality and community rankings.
Honestly, idk why but the falling star beast in the open area was much harder for me because it kept like moving far away and then charging at me with it's horn attacks which is so hard to avoid, where as in the closed area I could stick close to it and damage it much faster.
The first Falling Star Beast I fought was the Mt Gelmir one. I found it extremely hard, until I figured out the trick. If you hit his head during his charge, it does good damage and staggers the boss. They all became trivial from there on thanks to one weapon: Moonveil. I’d run around until it charges, slap it with a Transcient Moonlight, repeat. God bless that katana.
Fallingstar beast took me more tries than radhan.
My method of beating him was just use barricade shield as much as possible, stay close and tank the hits. Get two slaps in here and there and repeat.
Im sorry, but how on earth is the black knofe ringleader easier than the ancient hero? Nice to see D-Mod back with the rankings, even if I dont agree with a few
I'm surprised fallingstar beast was your number 1 since I beat that my second attempt. I experienced more hell fighting crucible knight's bitch ass.
I love how the fromsoft team tried to make different kinds of bosses. the glass Canon idea was pretty fun
None of these gave me any trouble at similar levels to your battles. No farming methods used for my first playthrough. Just always collected my runes and hardly ever died. I think you are to reliant on torrent. The black wing kindred outside of bestial sanctum I killed at lvl 60. Not any of the cheese straights the make him jump off or run back and forth shooting magic. I did not use spirit ashes or rot breathe. I did use sword of night and flame. That boss just makes himself vulnerable for so long. And a lot of the other ones on here had easy parry options. You looked naked. Getting poise would help, if radahns armor is too heavy look for talismans. Overall I think this difficulty rating just too subjective to hold decent value, it was still enjoyable. Thanks!
Torrent needs some iframes man
So I could be wrong but I do think Falling Star does take normal damage from strike weapons. Since I did try with the sentinel halberd. Faced the same issue you did. And it looked like I did more damage with a pure physical strike weapon.
Alecto at 13???? Wow, player perspective can vary a LOT XD
Wormface looks like Bruno from Encanto
what about the godskin minibosses?
After dying for an hour straight to alecto before I resorted him to trapping him on the cliff and spamming hoarfrost stomp. Seeing him at 13 is weird
Royal revenant is like fighting the bloodletting beast without the dash ability from bloodborne
I know they’re tough, but man…I love the Black Knives. Alecto especially. Her use of Maliketh’s moves just are cool when you know that the Knives stole a fragment of death from him. They’re Elden Ring’s Nazgul with Morgul Blades, haha. I also love the Fallingstar Beast and the Godskin apostles so much.
🤦🏻♂️
I haven't watched the boss ranking video because I didn't want to be spoiled, but…
Is the reason the Godrick reskin in the evergaol near the lift in the Altus Plateau isn't in this video because it counts as being the same boss as Godrick?
Fallingstar beast was easy af wtf
This should be ranked from easiest to hardest *using a melee build*. A lot of these bosses are totally cheesable with range and spells
what makes you consider magma wyrm a boss and not a miniboss
Considering I just beat Fallingstar today for the first time, I feel good seeing him at the top of the list hahaha
Can't believe that the Caelid Bell Bearing Hunter wasn't higher up.
I had 45 Vigor and was still getting 2 shotted. You can't even kite him since you risk pulling the raptordogs.
Also shoutout to the people who fought The White Bear of Caelid. That shit's probably the scariest thing Caelid has to offer.
Erdtree Avatar is easily the worst boss/bosses in Elden Ring. You'll stomp it until its second phase starts and then it proceeds to spam the projectile move over and over until you're dead. It doesn't help that 90% of its moveset is ripped straight out of asylum demon, like even the asylum demon in DS3 had more variety
Fallingstar is a pain but he’s actually extremely predictable and not terribly difficult to deal with if you’re patient. Black Blade Kindred is easily the toughest mini-boss IMO, particularly the one outside Bestial Sanctum
everyone talking about the fallingstar beast but i didnt have nearly as much trouble with it as the black blade kindred, i do not get this guy, especially the one in caelid and the god damn duo battle. The one in caelid gave me more trouble than any other boss in the whole game. I only beat it by simply running away when it brings the sword out. It feels impossible dodging all of his attacks and if u get hit once ur dead. The duo fight was a nightmare and i didnt even bother finishing it.
The differences of difficulty we have is so interesting to me lol
