Elden Ring - 8 AWESOME Optional Bosses You Don't Want to Miss - Hidden Weapons & Armor Location!

The Sewers of Leyndell are insane. Not to mention there’s a way to the Deeproot Depths from there too behind a hidden wall.

Another disguised mini boss that idk if it has been mentioned before is in Limgrave near the south lake agheel grace up in the nearby rocky area. There's a undead noble oddly by himself, but it's actually a rune bear and it just drops a respec item

[@andyfelske8950]

There’s several areas that have one of these. luarnia’s is a lobster that’s by himself, there’s a flaming corpse by himself in the camp near the minor erdtree by volcano manor, and I know others have been found. They all drop larval tears

[@crackball22]

I found one in the consecrated snowfields too, there's 3 nobles off kind of randomly, one is stuck in the snow and it looks like the other two are trying to help get it out. If you kill the one in the snow he turns into a runebear too.

[@sternritternovad]

The (I thinks it's 4) Bell Bearing Hunters that show up at night are very challenging fights that are worth mentioning. They drop bell bearings for unlimited purchases of different items.

[@luiscalimano6825]

There is a pvp build for the ruptured crystal tear because the explosion does holy damage so if you do a build centers around doing a lot of holy damage you can destroy people in pvp especially because there aren’t many armor sets that provide good holy damage protection.

[@ShapeshifterOS]

You know you can actually get to the snowfield without the medallion. Just jump off the cliff near the ruined house where you get the traveling maiden outfit. If you jump far enough to land and die in the snowfield you can respawn at a statue in the snowfield.

If you defeat the duo of Night's Cavalry riders, they drop it along with the smithing stone. You have to defeat both though and you can't rest at a site of grace or the other will respawn if you've only killed one.

[@delirious_daze9093]

There’s also a death bird in the north west corner of the consecrated snowfield. Follow the frozen river to its end in the NW corner next to Ordina and make sure it’s nighttime, super beefy night bird (for me anyways) but well worth the fight for the incantation you get. If you want to summon a friend for help be sure not to kill the wandering magma wyrm boss in this area and good luck :)

[@andrebruce447]

That was one tough bird. He flawless victoried me on about my 4th attempt. I think those birds may be immune to bleed. They certainly are weak to holy, once I swapped to two holy great swords I got him on the 2nd or 3rd attempt.

Theres a dragonkin knight ghost that spawns on that same snow area that the dual knights are pathing on.

[@SilverFoxR]

It's funny that you mentioned the Margit fight redux and the Deathbird, but missed the boss that spawns almost between them. After felling the Deathbird and assuming it's still night, right back across the plateau to where the merchant's shack is and you can fight another Bell Bearing Hunter boss. Man, imagine if you could lure both bosses towards each other and have them duke it out? That'd be interesting to say the least.

[@asraiSOA]

WOW, I actually found/stumbled across almost all of these during my first play-through. I guess I was more thorough than I thought. Although, on NG+ I am finding some new locations and now apparently the boss for the Jar Cannon. I'd seen that weapon but never found it. Thanks for this video!

[@CensorTube84]

I’ve found so much stuff to smash bosses watching these videos 😤💯

[@jh9794]

I find it funny they took a cannon to a siege only to not know how to use it. I think morggot uses a lot of duplicates like the one on altus. Might answer how he got to limgrave from the capital. Especially given he kinda just appeared out of thin air and didn't care we killed him.

Nice. I come across those D Birds randomly on accident when im playing at night in game. My only real 2 wishes are please let us place more then 100 markers on the map and let us go back to the capital before it's become The Capital of Ash because there are things you can miss there that you have to go to a NG+ to get. I really do hope they see how successful Elden Ring is and are already working on DLC or #2

any of the bell bearing hunters. they're basically just the briar boss, but they only show up at night near shacks (ie nomadic merchant's shack, warmaster's shack, etc). if you passed time at the nearby grace you have to rest at the grace again to get the bell hunter to show up. yeah really obscure. idk how many but i think it's one for each "shack" that is on the map

[@spotzhopz]

There's also one at the church of vows, so not just shacks

[@RPGeenius]

There's 4 of them. The one outside leyndell is the most useful imo.

[@darkmoonmiracle]

I’d like to see them change the scaling of existing weapons to have int and faith scaling similar to the sword of night and flame. Since death sorceries require both int and faith to cast, I’d like to see the weapons that share that sort of theme reworked to fit these builds. I believe Helphen’s Steeple, Death’s Poker, and the Death Ritual Spear, Family Heads, and Rosus’s Axe should all be changed.

The leyndell deathbird isn’t the only boss from the merchant site of grace at night. There should be a bell berring hunter at the shack at night. Pretty sure there’s one for the isolated merchant as well in caelid. I’m not sure about the one on the tip of the weeping peninsula though

[@maniacalmurderer4123]

There is also another secret boss you missed in this vid. On the outskirts of the town of leurnia (or the snowy female albanuric town) at the northern edge of the frozen river there lies a death bird that drops from above and attacks you at night. This death bird is way more difficult then his previous counterparts doing incredible damage for the late game. Also you can’t summon spirits to fight with you, it’s just you and him. He drops another death spell that does a deathbird nuke explosion (which is the slow charge up move the death bird with do mid-fight but when you do it it’s faster) it’s a very fun spell and is good for pvp. I have an entire build centered around the desthbird spells and weapons. Look for a man called the “Lord of Death” in the dueling ring in the lucaria and you’ll find me eventually.

So that's where that monologue was coming from. I thought it was Morgot using some sort of magic to talk to me from the Elden Throne but it was actually Margit in disguise. Also their are a couple of rune bears disguised as commoners aswell. I must have ran past the one in Limgrave about 20 times before i accidentally agroed it.

I don't think its necessarily that they are disguised but more likely reborn on death through the power of a larval tear its why most of these enemies drop one after killing them again. Note: Unlike the second margit these enemies only transform if you kill the first form
