Imaginative bosses are the highlight of Elden Ring ’s Shadow of the Erdtree , and you’ll find dozens of them scattered throughout the Shadow Realm of the Lands Between. But there are so many invaders, mini-bosses, optional bosses, and story bosses that it can be hard to find the one you’re looking for. In this Shadow of the Erdtree guide, we’ll show you all the Elden Ring DLC bosses we’ve found so far in the Shadow Realm and tell you how to find them.
Gravesite Plain is the first major area in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. It contains two major bosses, as well as several optional bosses wandering the open world and inside dungeons. Here’s what we’ve found so far.
The Divine Beast Dancing Lion is the first major boss — or Legend — you’ll fight in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree . You can find it at the top of Belurat , the castle on the western side of the Gravesite Plain. The Divine Beast Dancing Lion is a giant puppet that prances around the battlefield with unpredictable movements, and swaps between different elemental types at will.
You’ll get the Remembrance of the Dancing Lion and the Divine Beast Head when you kill it. For help in defeating this boss, see our guide on how to beat Divine Beast Dancing Lion . West of the Scorched Ruins in Gravesite Plain, you’ll find a sunken area that leads to a tomb: the Western Nameless Mausoleum .
Head down the stairs and you’ll find a fog door. On the other side is the Blackgaol Knight , an optional boss .
