Elden Ring bosses fight each other in this YouTube series

Elden Ring bosses are terrifying. I say this as someone whose gotten chewed out by Tree Sentinel dozens of times, and who had to rune farm a full 10 extra levels to be able to face Margit the Fell Omen. These are only the foes in early games. But how might these enemies stack up against each other? If you’ve been curious about this — or if you’d just like the experience the sweet, sweet justice of seeing them fight each other for a change — you’re in luck. YouTuber and modder Garden of Eyes made a series of videos showcasing Elden Ring bosses fighting one another, in a series entitled “Boss VS Boss.”

These matchups pit bosses from later games against each other and are both entertaining and informative. There’s something rewarding about seeing other powerful entities fumbling with some of these boss attacks — and if these are bosses you’ve manage to slain, dear Tarnished, it puts into perspective just how intimidating you must be.

Each video follows the same format, and each one includes an introduction card which lists how many HP each boss has. They then battle it out over a series three-to four matches. This is a great touch, and shows how even-matched these rivals can be despite the wide range of HP differences between them.

There’s the highly requested Malenia Vs Maliketh matchup, which puts these two Shardbearers head-to-head.

Here is a matchup that has a royal twist: Morgott the Omen King, Rennala the Queen of the Full Moon.

There are plenty more matchups, like Godfrey fighting Radagon, and Malenia fighting Starscourge Radahn. Garden of Eyes has made similar boss fight videos for BloodBorne — and the work required to mod these games sounds labor intensive. “Creating these videos requires modding and digging inside the PS4 files, which involves deep understanding and working with the different formats and tools used to properly get these boss fights to work,” reads Garden of Eyes’ Patreon.

This hard work is rewarded in the form of a series videos that are both entertaining and frightening.
