I played Elden Ring for 3500 Hours. Here are the Best and Worst DLC Bosses – ER DLC Boss Tier List
I have played the game more than you, so my opinion is clearly more valid. Oh, also Dane, the Dryleaf, so easily forgotten…

Who is your editor?? They killed it
Great video great editing
I don't think a FromSoft boss has ever been so repulsive to me in both visual and mechanical terms as Metyr LMAO
Normally I skip through ranking videos to see the results but this video is so well edited that I watched the whole thing
Ancient Dragon Man S Tier. This is anti ancient dragon man propaganda
Change title:
โI played the ELDEN RING DLC definitely not for 4000+ hours because base game doesnโt translate entirely to dlcโ
They did patch the cross slash to be properly dodgeable without moving in one direction the whole time
I hath only cometh here to see mine ranking
I am sublime
Usually i hate ranking videos, but this is so well made i just couldnt help but enjoy it alot. Great vid Cata!
Agreed with most except I think you were too forgiving to Metyr and Gaius.
6:08 Since you're fighting inside a mausoleum I assume they're sort of spirit ashes hence the texture
Judging a boss by its rewards also means you judge exploration by its rewards. Thus you must hate ER.
If you don't know the uniqueness of the fights then you invalidate your list. The Curseblade vanishes in darkness, breaking your lock on and surprising you.
The only correct Ranking
Divine Beast Dancing Lion (S)
Bayle The Dread (S)
Rellana, Twin Moon Knight (S)
Messmer The Impaler (S)
Putrescent Knight (B)
Scadutree Avatar (C)
Commander Gaius (B)
Metyr, The Mother of Fingers (D)
Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame (S)
Romina, Saint of the Bud (B)
Primed Consort Radahn (S)
As for ranking by number
1. PCR
2. Bayle
3. Messmer
4. Rellana
5. Midra
6. Dancing Lion
7. Romina
8. Gaius
9. Putrescent Knight
10. Scadutree Avatar
11. Metyr
And no one really cares about the npc bosses and field bosses beyond the first couple of play throughs so they are irrelevant to me
My Personal SotE Remembrance Ranking is:
S
Messmer the Impaler
Bayle the Dread
A
Divine Beast Lion Dancer
Midra, Lord of Frenzy Flame
Putrescent Knight
B
Romina, Saint of the Bud
Scadutree Avatar
C
Metyr, Mother of Fingers
Commander Gaius
D
Radahn, Consort of Miquella
F
Rellana, Twin Moon Knight
Just my opinion, but if you take into consideration every single thing then Bayle not having a cinematic should hurt his ranking (same with Rellana, Romina and Putrescent) and Midra having the best cinematic in the entire game should also boost his ranking
Great video Catman!
1:58 the funniest thing to me about Senessax is that she technically fixes my biggest issue with the original Ancient Dragon moveset: the followup lighting being too fast for you to comfortably roll against if you roll the initial swing. Her lighting strikes are all delayed so you can just roll twice to beat get around them comfortably… too bad this isn't indicated well at all and its so comically punishing to get hit that the fight is simply not worth doing, lol. Totally agree with her placemeny
3.5k is crazy
Rick=S tier
Watched right up to the moment where the dude complained about Spirit Ashes reward. I'm so tired of this BS. ๐ข
Pity, I would like to know the rest.
"Jori" and "good design" should NEVER be in the same sentence
And with that out of the way, great list!
The biggest dilemma in these ranks: is hard boss good? Is easy boss good?
The maggot eye of the ghostflame dragons ๐คฎ
Great video, its clear you love elden ring and know what you are talking about. Your list is really solid, although I feel divine beast dancing lion is a more enjoyable and interesting boss than Gaius, Metyr and (maybe) Putrescent knight. I found Metyr much less engaging than the lion, and as you stated, found some of her attacks unintuitive to dodge. Its a similar story with Gaius, especially that opening charge. I feel like lion is a bit more enjoyable as not only does it have a (in my opinion), far stronger design with its elemental transitions, but I enjoyed sticking close and learning his more unnatural movement, rather than having to chase after the boss, such as during Putrescent knight and Gaius's boss fights. Its a minor nitpick, phenomenal video overall!
Deathrite bird also has a pretty casual cheese. It is useless for a speedrunner cuz its slow, but for a newbie its good. It's a common thing for a dlc that enemies try to lure you into a trap and usually stay in a certain area if you don't agro them too much. The boss tries to stay in place where there are a lot of birds and will step back if it gets too far. You can shoot it with a bow max range and it will only do one type of attack and then stumble in one place, cuz it doesn't want to leave the birds. Once you find out this AI cheese, and I found it pretty unintentionally, trying just to get a lil bit of free damage and noticing it stays there, the presentation of a boss is totally ruined, and it wasn't a fun boss in the first place in the base game.
funny hearing your thoughts on Gaius, considering he took me about 3 times as long as any boss in the DLC – including on-release Consort lol
I might be in the minority but my favorite boss was Putrescent Knight. I went in blind and thought I got trolled by the messages when I started falling ๐ Same thing happened to me in DS3 with Demon in Pain & Demon from
Below so it was a cool call back in a way.
