In Elden Ring there will be very tricky optional bosses, players must find them on their own

Elden Ring will include several extremely difficult additional bosses, following the FromSoftware tradition of leaving the most difficult challenges outside of the main quest.

The superboss concept has been popularized in the JRPG genre, and Warmech from the original Final Fantasy is considered the first of its kind. Superboss tends to be more difficult than Final Fantasy, and exists to provide a real challenge for the most dedicated players. Games created by FromSoftware have also used incredibly difficult optional bosses in their games. Bloodborne's best bosses were found in the DLC, and they were all optional, as the player could just get through the game without even entering Nightmare Hunter.

The bosses in Elden Ring appeared repeatedly in the promotional materials for the game. Elden Ring producer Yasuhiro Kitao said that Elden Ring will have challenging optional bosses that the player must find on his own. Kitao said that Elden Ring has "intentionally increased the difficulty" for players looking for challenges, but they will be hidden around the world.

Elden Ring comes out Feb. 25 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
