10. Spirit-caller Snail - ROAD'S END CATACOMBS, found in eastern Liurnia south of the minor Erdtree
9. Starscourge Radahn - found in Redmane Castle, in the Southern part of Caelid
8. Godskin Apostle - Dominula, Windmill Village which is on the northern edge of the Altus Region
7. Patches - found in Murkwater cave in the center of Limgrave, look for a cave entrance in the ravine filled with skeletons
6. Mimic Tear - found in Nokron, which can only be accessed after defeating Starscourge Radahn and going down the giant hole in Limgrave formed by his comet, which is in South of Mistwood
5. Wormface - the guardian of the Minor Erdtree at the center of Altus in the forest area
4. Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella - Found by exploring the ainsel river region, which can be accessed in the Liurnia region from the Ainsel River Well north of the Liurnia Divine tower
3. Ancestor Spirit - found by lighting the fires at all of the monuments in the Siofra River area then going to Hallowhorn hall and interacting with the corpse. The area can be accessed from the Siofra River Well, which is found near the Minor Erdtree in Limgrave, in the mistwood forest.
2. Ryckard - Found in the Volcano Manor at the top of Mt. Gelmir, which is in the western part of Atlus. Can only be accessed if you agree to help Lady Tanith and complete the questline there, a secret door can be found in the first room to the right after you've made enough progress with the quest. Kill the people she wants you to kill and talk to everyone and it should unlock.
1. Astel - Found in the River of Rot, an area that can only be accessed by making a certain amount of progress in Ranni's Questline, which is too complicated to explain here -

BONUS
Malenia - Found in Miquella's Haligtree, a location that can only be reached by finding 2 parts of the Haligtree Secret Medallion. 1 is found in Castle Sol in the Mountaintop of the Giants and one is in the Village of the Albinaurics, a town build under a mountain to the west in Liurnia. There's a villager disguised as a pot hiding there: attack them to reveal the ruse and talk to them to get 1 half of the haligtree secret medallion. When you have both you get an alternate option at the Grand Lift of Rold that takes you to the Consecrated Snowfield and eventually the Haligtree.

I have no idea why people keep calling Radahn an "optional" boss....He is NOT an optional boss, he is literally a story boss that your required to beat to progress the story..
Quick note on #6 here. This boss will become an exact copy of you when you walk in. You can walk in wearing no armor and no weapons and then equip everything after he becomes you with no armor and no weapons. That said, the boss is usually fairly easy anyways since you are probably most familiar with your own weapons moveset and weaknesses above all else. Just thought that was cool.

Except if you're a mage. Haven't fought this boss since the 1.03 patch where the mimic tear got nerfed, but before then this boss would be sooo hyper aggressive with spells, and have seemingly infinite FP, it was literally like facing a god version of yourself. The cheese where you just stroll in naked still worked, though.

Me and a friend bugged this boss. So my friend was the host and I was the summon, he went in the arena and stayed back (we were like "I'm gonna fight your mimic tear solo and you fight mine solo") and I rushed ahead, and managed to hit the mimic tear while it was still a blob. When the blob transformed, it transformed into a random guy with random equipments that neither me nor my friend had.

Astel, Naturalborn of the Void is one of the best boss fights I’ve ever experienced in any game. The scenery, mechanics, unique attacks, and design all work perfectly well together. The weapon you can unlock after the fight makes it even more worthwhile. If you missed this one, it’s worth taking one last trip to the Lake of Rot to find it.

Another optional boss that you shouldn't miss and didn't get added to the list is Mohg, lord of blood. His second phase make the fight tougher if you don't have enough flasks or that special crimson tear, and his theme music is amazing.
I was kindly surprised by you mentioning the Ancestor Spirit. That boss with the music and all is a piece of audiovisual art for sure.

I did that in my first try and died after the 3rd summon. Then, read the message before the boss door telling me to Seek Light, and oh how I want to thank whoever wrote that message.
It's worth noting, there's actually 2 ancestor spirits, one on the "lower" area, and one on the "upper". both activated by lighting runes, then going to two different bodies. they're the exact same fight, with different rewards
Through the first half of this list I was very unsure, and I still feel like there's been some snubs to the dragonlords and Mogh (LoB variety), most of my favourites are mentioned somewhere in this video, so fair play! (Minor thing, deeproot depths is actually the ruins of a third, nameless eternal city!)
That secret bear boss really scared the crap out of me

Honestly radhann gave me so much satisfaction beating. Also a bit of lore, he loved his horse so much he used his gravity manipulation to make sure the horse could still carry him when he got so big.
It depends on how you go into Redmane castle, if there are enemies along the way or not.

Great video, I do think that you guys missed a couple of bosses. Without spoiling anything there is a huge boss fight at the end of Fia's quest
This is what I love about this game, not one boss is the same some may look similar like margrit and godrick but move sets and gimmicks are always completely different and and the game always adapts and keeps you on your toes and most bosses are difficult which is what a boss is supposed to be and I love it this game has to go down as the best game in a hot minute
Didnt know there was a boss version of wormface and godskin, my first encounters were a wormface near a village close to Volcano Manor and a godskin on the bridge of the academy where Ranni's gift sends you, both were very interesting experiences
The Godskin fight is really something. The second phase is just a surprise set of moves that looks amazing.

Sweet another great video from a outstanding channel one of the few that no matter what I'm doing I immediately press watch when it hits my notifications
the naturalborne of the void is the boss I probably know best at this point because of how many times I speedran just doing all of Ranni's quest. but fuck that big AOE gravity attack, to avoid getting killed by it in the speedrun you have to absolutely not attack more than twice per opening, and you have to have been next to him to be able to get those two attacks off, if you arent, you either have to try to get a cheeky attack and risk that AOE or stay away until you know you're clear.

i love these old videos because they dont mention a lot of the truly magnificent hidden ones showing just how big this game is that even journalists dont know about them
Actually for the ghost snail, you can take down the knight, and when you do the snail reveals itself for a bit while it tries to summon another one and it doesnt teleport while it tries to summon it
I’m so in love with this game and it’s amazing bosses
OH my good there is SO much left to do. And I thought Limgrave a Liurnia were it. Well best fluff and pack my best travelling trosuers I'm off to explore.
Tip for Malenia, Bleed and Mimic tear. That's it, really. She can be hit stunned provided she isn't doing certain attacks, so if you and the mimic beat on her enough you'll find she goes down a little easier than you'd think. I used a maxed out Flamberge and got her in about an hour and a half. That being said, she does have an aoe whirl wind attack that can be life ending very easily. If she does it on the mimic it's fine provided you've levelled it up. If she does it on you, however, well the only success I've found is to block the first aoe and dodge the next 2 since they're telegraphed and less dangerous overall. And uh, luck. Bit of luck.
thanks for showing all the bosses without the locations! always helpful
Astel was a pretty easy fight for me, one of my characters is an astrologist, so I just used the meteorite shower magic under him a couple times and done.
While this video might have spoilers the scenery itself should give you a good idea how vast and breath taking the world can be and i only ventured through Limgrave and Weeping Peninsula and tried to complete everything in the area before going forward
You can actually get the ashes to summon the Mimic Tear a little bit after the boss fight, easily one of the best summons in the game.

a good tip for astel is to use a tanky summon and rotten breath incantation... if you spam the incantation for a while it will loose health really quickly plus your summon doing damage also helps.
I really liked the multiple Onyx Lords. Especially when you get little snippets of their lore from the items or abilities that they give you when they're defeated.
From Software should just make a dedicated horror game already - everything in Elden Ring so far gives me an impression that they're aching to make a really good horror game

Umm they already did a horror game called Bloodborne and it’s incredible.
Radahn is my favorite boss so far in any game. His design is absolutely cool
I was worried one of these bosses would be one I hadn’t found yet, but I’m glad nothings been spoiled for me.
I think mohg is also a great one for people to experience at least once
I love From Software's bosses, I just hate playing thier games. Glad I could watch you do it lol
Astel is a dobsonfly insect, Miyazaki really outdone with the grotesque design in this game.
I always thought rykard was like storm king and Yhorm the giant. But like seriously during he’s second phase like all the skulls following me with the lava eruption with the all chaos and running and chaotic music it was like hell literally and it’s amazing
3:15 the little horse got me 😂
Those are some awesome bosses! Just one question would it be a soul's game if Patches wasn't in it?

No it wouldn't :) except Sekiro, but that's an exception
I’m sure the devs who watch these videos are so glad that their game is getting so much love while literally every other game just gets bashed on. Hopefully the other publishers n devs can see what happens when you actually release a good and ready game.

I know we've all been burned before... but I think Starfield has a solid chance at being a good game
Just fought Astrel last night, crazy boss but I managed to beat him with my mimic summon 💯💯
The snail encounter is basically a witches of Hemwick fight from Bloodborne :)
Pls keep Elden Ring content coming, so helpful also makes me happy.
it's amazing how these huge bosses, with their own unique mechanics and awesome designs, are all "optional". You can go through the whole game without even knowing some of those are lurking somewhere dark. There are 4 bosses and a HUGE amazing area in a secret place I completely missed in my first playthrough just because I didn't check some corner in Nokron. Just best game ever.

I enjoy that I'm blindly going through Elden Ring currently and found alot of these guys
I'm glad they managed to make an actual good stormcaller fight with rykard. He wasn't a complete pushover like previous ones. (Looking at you Yhorm)
If you're including Radahn and Rykard as optional(which they are), then you should also include Godrick and Rennala You can bypass any 2 of the 4 Shardbearers. I'm about to finish Leyndell on my 1st playthrough and I haven't faced Godrick or done Stormveil at all. Whole Legacy Dungeon is totally optional

I didn't realize that patches gives up😭 I guess i did too much damage or just missed it, since I ended up killing him🤣
I would add Dragonlord Placidusax to the list. The ost is amazing, the boss design is pretty cool and the fight is visually stunning
This is my first souls game and I was level 200 when I found patches and wasnt playinh with audio at the time so something hit me and I devastated him instantly
I loved the spirit-caller snail! It was a unique boss and another example of the fun deception FromSoft often puts into their games that unfortunately can only be experienced once.

I didn't know you could just hunt the snail... Downed the Spirit Warrior twice, which reveals a stunned snail, and if you get there quick enough you can do 4-5 hits on him before he teleports away
This is the difference between "accessible" and "easy mode". Most of the Souls-Borne fans that I know play these games for the sheer joy of discovery and the satisfaction of killing something, the harder the better. But, these are the level or "golden path" bosses, they won't stop me from continuing to enjoy the game. A true masterpiece. For anyone who is struggling, "easy mode" is playing Astrologer. POTENTIALLY, if you have the appetite for games like Horizon or Returnal, Prisoner is also a decent option to get your feet wet. (But low key if you beat Returnal, you got this)

You can perman stun rykard if you use the Lt attack at the beginning of the fight take a step to the side and Lt again as long as you don't follow up with the double LT itll keep stunning him same thing for his second phase
The bosses are just unique

Thanks for the suggestion
Radans area was full of enemies for me! And even had a duel boss fight in the gathering area.
4:10 Surprisingly, the windmill village Godskin Apostle was my 2nd encounter with one of these as a boss. I found the one inside Caelid's Divine Tower first! So I was relieved that the windmill village one was easier. I had to summon for the Divine Tower boss. 10:00 Astel is the only boss on this list that I've found on my own and am still struggling with. I'm really at my whit's end as a melee build but don't want to respec. I feel he's tied to Ranni's questline, due to her quest leading you to the rot lake and ditching you there.

He is since you finish Ranni's quest in the area you get to after beating him. I beat him last night after hours of attempts by leveling up Latenna to +10 and letting her dish out damage while I held the aggro. She is amazing in this fight, though for me she "disappeared" halfway through, like her spirit icon was there but she was nowhere to be seen, but had done enough damage that I was able to deal with the rest of it myself.
