This Is The Only Correct Tier List 

The final Boss should've been "OH MY GOD IT'S PATCHES WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!"

You forgot the secret final boss - Dung Eater, Promised Consort

Only downside to the Rellana fight is that she can do her moon attack near a wall and they don't actually hit the ground then blow up, they just go off without dropping and still combo you

Am I crazy or was Radahn actually dope af. I mean he is like completely different and just seeing his prime was so sick. Imo it has a bigger impact than a completely new character because you can tie him back into the main story lore. It potentially explains the war between Malenia and Radahn.

A fact that ppl forget is that Miquella totally dumped Malenia, didnt try to help her rot situation after becoming a god, waiting for radahn... just killed the character right there

Furnace Golems are the lowest F and that includes the base game. They look cool in the distance but you don't see that in the actual fight. They are really easy fights but take forever. It's just boring and not fun.

the most disappointing thing in the dlc is the fact that we didnt got to fight the gloom eyed queen. that would have been such a cool hidden boss.

Assassins gambit makes the abyssal woods into a joke. None of the enemies aggro you & you can just run through the foggy area. More people need to know that.

All I can say is *"Those stripped of grace of gold shall all meet death. In the embrace of Messmer's flame."*

I think what really discourages fighting dragons head on is just that their head sometimes feels untouchable. For Midir and Bayle, (Bayle's move shares a lot of similar elements with Midir), they have clearly telegraphed moves that leaves their head vulnerable to attack at the end of it.

Godwyn’s death is the catalyst for the events of the entire game, plus he was killed by the rune of death, so not only would his return make 0 sense, but it literally retcons the whole reason the world is in the state it is.

Consort Radahn being the final boss makes more sense than Godwin, it not only explains why milenia waged a suicidal war on rahdan but it also explains to us why mog was so infatuated with miquella and what miquella and millenia were plotting all along. If they had resurrected godwin it wouldnt have explained why millenia went out of her way to fight rahdan.

My dude is ranking bosses without even knowing what half of them do lmao.

Midra is by far my favorite from the DLC, with one of the best OST of all time. Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience Bayle in my first playthrough because my two pickaxes destroyed him with 7k hits before he could do anything.

Midra is a dance partner. Radahn is a guy shooting at your feet to make you dance. I love Midra and hate Radahn.

The Scadutree sentinel was so good because of its theme. Slowly dying and grasping on to the bitter end even blasting light from itself so hard that it fucks itself up is just the dopest boss fight vibe.

I think the biggest let down of the DLC, is the complete lack of new information regarding Godwyn.

the cool part of radahn for has always been about Starscourge, him being the conqueror of the stars. We know that he is miquella's brother but the golden order part of lore of radahn isn's the focus for him and tbn its boring. We have plenty of holy bosses. Him being the Starscourge has alwasy been the coolest part of him.

Golden hippo insta grabs you if he does it when you are in close proximity. This is some bullshit right here.

Can we do a streamer hairline tier list next?

The final boss is not prime Radahn, it's prime Miquella. I wish we could have fought a Radahn with actual dialogue and a working brain in a fair duel. Consort Radahn has like 2 gravity attacks 😢

Asmon can sure speak big, But not sure how he can be honest with himself ranking the bosses after watching his entire playthrough😂

I also think it’s weird that Miquella forced radahn to be his consort. Lore wise, Miquella achieved Griffith status for sure. However the consort thing was weird and second phase is hard for all the wrong reasons.

Radahn, while a very cool reveal and ties up some lore questions immediately lost the coolness factor once the fight started and progressed into the second phase. I desperately tried to beat him with the build I had, with max Scadu and Spirit Ash levels but after several hours across 2 days I just couldn't take it and felt the need to respec into a holy negating greatshield build to even beat him. He is an extremely hard boss, the ONLY boss in the DLC I can say is overtuned which tends to unnecessarily funnel people into greatshield bleed builds to beat. Not to mention the visibility issues during the second phase with Miquella's abilities, it very quickly became a boss that just wasn't fun to beat. Radahn for me gets two different rankings, S tier for impact reveal and lore but low C to high D tier for the fight itself and the enjoyment of it.

Commander Gaius F TIER F standing for Fuck This

Imagine if for the final boss of the Ringed City, instead of the Gael fight that we got, Pontiff Sulyvahn randomly showed back up, and halfway through the fight, Gael decided he wanted a piggy back ride. That's what it felt like seeing Radahn again.

I’m willing to defend the Radahn fight to a certain degree, but the complaints about the sheer overstimulation of light is kinda justifiable. If it was one or two follow up light effects instead of like seven pillars of light, I think people would’ve enjoyed it a lot better. But lore-wise, Radahn was the only option for revival, as he was the only one whose soul wasn’t destroyed or had some affliction. It was Radahn soul fused with Mohg’s body. If the story was to revive Godwyn, it still would’ve been Radahn’s soul, just now in Godwyn’s body. But his body was already transformed into that merman like state and his soul annihilated by the rune of death. He wouldn’t fit in Miquella’s plan. The only figure in the Lands Between who would’ve worked, was Radahn, and Mohg was the only living demigod without a physical impairment or affliction caused by an Outer God. - Rykard is part of the God Devouring Serpent. - Ranni is guided by the Dark Moon. - Rennala is still alive but has lost her mind. - Godwyn’s soul was destroyed and his body warped into a slumbering monster. - Malenia is eternally afflicted by the Outer God if Rot, Unalloyed Gold can hold off the affliction for so long. - Morgott was turned into Grace. - Messmer is still alive but is protected by his flames and serpent. - Melina has already (potentially) reduced her body to ash as kindling. - Godrick’s body was grafted, his blood and everything about him was too weak to actually serve as his consort. - Mohg’s only connection to the Formless Mother is through his spear, not anything with his body. After dying, his body becomes the only vessel capable of binding to Radahn’s soul as a fellow demigod while also keeping its strings as Miquella’s puppet. Miquella’s only choice WAS Radahn and Mohg. And he needed a consort capable of enforcing his will and driving away the Outer Gods, a feat only accomplished by Miquella himself, and Radahn. Radahn was the puppet he needed most, and trapping his soul to a body already charmed by him, just let him have the piece he needed to fulfill his ambition, the ultimate enforcer of his soon-to-be divine will. Even if the DLC did revive Godwyn with Radahn’s soul… do you really think the TWO STRONGEST DEMIGODS fused together, incarnated in their new combined prime, would be an “easier” boss fight than Radahn with occasional Bloodflame? Because that would be Radahn with Golden Lightning, Ancient Dragon Lightning, AND Deathblight. Radahn “works” because he’s the most important piece in Miquella’s grand plan, Freyja and Ansbach were even hesitant and against what happened to their respective lord, the two are imprisoned at Miquella’s thrall. But if take down Radahn and free them both, Miquella’s entire plan falls apart and can’t be recreated. The Tarnished is set to become Elden Lord, and Miquella has no means to combat them, nor any pieces left to counter them and their journey. He sacrificed everything for the ultimate trump card, but if we beat it, he has nothing left. And the entire DLC is just about stopping Miquella. And again, this isn’t exactly Radahn in his prime, it’s an incarnation of Radahn in its prime. If you put Bruce Lee in the body of an average martial artist, it doesn’t make that person “Bruce Lee”, its someone with Bruce Lee’s soul in a body not as honed, refined, or as developed as Bruce Lee’s in his prime. But I would love it if there was one more DLC for Godwyn and the Godskins’ Gloam Eyed Queen and some extra detail about the red spear that pierced Marika. Also, were used to having great fights and/or figures teased, but nothing getting released… *_*cough cough Tomoe and Ocelot cough_* TL;DR I get the frustrations with the final boss, I personally love it though, but lore-wise, it really was the only way, anything else wouldn’t have worked or would have been even more of a nightmare than what we got.

Somehow, Radahn returned...

The story line around Miquella using Mohg to get to the land of shadow and then taking his body to use as a vessel made me think the whole time I was going to get some crazy blood and holy Mohg possessed by Miquella. I was disappointed and confused to see Radahn. I definitely forgot that he was making the body of Mohg his consort but I'd still like to see something other than Radahn.

I remember Asmon was excited, happy and pround when he killed Radahn in the base game. He was smiling and telling viewers he does not need sommons.He was so happy. Now he is hidding behind his shield with amazing skills, powered with 64 million runes, and did not have any feelings after killing bosses. Did he abadon more than Miquella to become a god?

Promised consort is incredible but i felt like that boss, more than any other boss in a souls game, forced me to use a specific build, not even changing damage type, it made me use spear and great shield. But I love all the lore NPC summons they had for every bossfights, like the Hornsent against Messmer, Igor against Bayle, and the Mohg follower against promised consort, they all had unique dialogue and it was awesome. I think this DLC is the strongest story fromsoft has every told in one of these games in terms of storytelling, because I was actually able to understand what was going on and the whole party of NPCs you’re sent in with are awesome. Bloodborne is still my favorite story, but the way the constructed the narrative for this DLC was really compelling and easy to follow. I loved that penultimate fight against all the Miquella loyalists, the dialogue was great, and the Mohg follower summon you could have tag along might be one of my all time favorite NPCs in any souls game. I loved this DLC. 10/10.

Black gaol knight should be on A tier. Simple fight but straight forward and enjoyable.

I think the final boss should have been "John, EldenRing". A humanoid roughly the size of Radahn (maybe a bit shorter), who wields a huge ring half his size as a weapon. He would have a charge attack where he rides his ring by running on top of it. He would use it as a hammer but add some off-hand fist attacks into the mix. Maybe he would use his ring as a boost to do a spin attack from the air (like he smashes downward with the ring and then propels himself into the air to make a spin and hit with the ring again). In his second phase he would start by splitting his ring into two thinner ones and using a new moveset consisting of classing dual-wield attacks, "throw one -> close up with another" kinds of closers, charge attack when he rolls to you on his rings in a T-pose. To make it more visually impressive he could use attacks like "throw one ring and hit it with another to create a sonic shockwave which would hit the player". His smaller ring could be bouncing off the player in certain combos (like he would simply throw the ring into you or throw it spinning or something else) which would allow the boss for faster combos and overall higher tempo of the fight.

I would put Jagged Peak Drake higher. It shares some of the same moves as Bayle, so it sort of teaches them to you before you even enter the Bayle fight.

Asmon dislikes dragons because he hates atacking feet, but he likes furnace golems lmao

Asmon literally cheesed the whole dlc lmao. Him rating these bosses is like a blind person rating paintings

Midra is easily my favorite boss in the dlc just wish his remembrance items were better

I a hundred percent agree with the Radahn reasoning. I think a version of Zombie Godwyn piloted by the spirit of Miquella or something along those lines would have been far more satisfying. It also would have just scratched that itch of potentially getting more information about Godwyn and added a sense of completion for getting to fight all of Marika's children in some form or another.

The final boss is more a miquella than a radahn show. Zhe only reason radahn is even there is because miquella cant fight so they needed a workaround.

Pretty good ranking. Scadutree avatar is lowkey S tier cause it’s so fun jumping around over its attacks but I don’t think Asmon could even jump with his build so I’m not gonna blame him for that 😂

Definitly agree that the last boss should have been Mikela and someone else like Godwyn with some funky lore reason. It was cool to see Radahn in his prime but the original boss was wayyyy better. You cannot do that in this kind of game. You cannot resuse a boss and have it be WORSE

True, Godwyn should have been the final boss. If was Miquella i would have choosen him as my consort, he's much hotter and daddier in every way 😂

after helping around 20 players with the messmer fight and memorizing his moveset i fuckşng love that fight but in a casual players perspective ppl don't fight that guy as much as I did so i understand ppl not liking him as much as bayle but for me its mechanically much more interesting (plus i just like humanoid bosses way more than big guys)

yeah i dont like dragons in elden ring , they all have the same moveset and basically you deal with them the same way , with the exception of special dragons like Plasidusax and Bayle and maybe Fortissax .

Take the tier list with a cup of salt, he hasn't actually fought half of the bosses.

Radahn fight was insanely hard but super satisfying to kill after learning which moves could be parried. Overall kinda sucked being radahn again but it is what it is

Lamentor is really cool once you realise that he's a pinwheel 2.0 and done justice. Besides, the unique mechanic he has makes you either have to up your damage output or actually engage with the clones, which is cool.

Tbh I was just confused how the last boss WASNT Godwin the golden. Like all that pre-dlc lore with the eclipse and referential narrative regarding the fact that clearly there was an attachment to Godwin specifically depicted by statue at the haligtree like it almost feels like they just sort of arbitrarily made it radahn to make malenias attack make sense which I mean idk maybe Vaati can help me connect it back to radahn but it just seems wrong

Thought there were supposed to be 70 bosses. Thought it was supposed to be 100 hours of content. I completed all the content and bosses in 34 hours. I don’t think this DLC is worth $40 at all. The base game was $60 and I spent 175 hours on the base game. The DLC costing 67% of the base game doesn’t sit well in my mind honestly. An extra $20 could have got me an entirely new game.

The camera is better in that mod, but if fromsoft had made radahn teleport like that then he would easily be the most despised boss in the game

Radahn actually makes a lot of sense for a final boss if you do all of the quest lines. So while I have his second phase, it was still a B-tier boss

Conceptually, Radahn is an amazing boss. Fighting the Red Lion at his peak & prime while a literal golden god rides on his back (pause) is awesome. It’s just the fight that is a bit iffy. The golden particle effects make it difficult to see what’s going on at times. Some moves (like the multi slam attacks or golden explosion follows ups) can be really annoying. And his sheer health & damage output funnels a lot of players into summoning (which makes it even harder) or using meta weapons. I managed to beat him solo after 4 hours (on ng+7) but I think he’s a bit overblown in the difficulty department.

One the best parts is not even a boss fight is the npcs boss fight before the Radahn, is so fucking cool and the music hits hard in the heart.

Miquella fkd up not choosing Godefroy as his consort. No Godefroy in the DLC just ruined it entirely. The most mysterious and all powerful character in the whole game and not a word about him anywhere is so sad😢

I was expecting a 2nd phase when I killed swordmaster Onze I thought it was a joke

Remember guys, people hated Gael and his lore at first 🤣🤣 from ds3, and now he is loved as a boss. Keep that in mind and don’t t let the haters from the Sewers alter your opinion

"Commander Gaius? More like Coomander GAY-ASS." There is one good thing about that boss though. The weapon art on his weapon is insane. You can become a literal flying drill and just obliterate things. Put it in the Greatest of Swords and put bleed on it. (Crag Blade does this too.) I use this weapon instead of a mimic tear. Sometimes I let the mimic tear do it too. Hippo was F when I first saw him, and is still an F because I will curb stomp him with a mimic. You find them out in the wild and they feel like they're 25% as powerful and die to everything and the grab just misses every 2 seconds... and you can use a horse. (I didn't I hate horse combat.) Lion boss is a C for me. Again I am always close to bosses so the backflip in a charge and being near a wall makes my camera sad. Not locking on is annoying since he moves way more than your average giant / dragon. I don't like it. If it wasn't any camera stuff I'd say it's a high A. Furnace Golems - F. A chore. The mechanic of them stumbling twice, and falling down so you can do some damage and then you have to get up again is just annoying. They should fall over once and die if you rip their visage off. If I can mimic I do. I slap a fast bonk weapon and we go to town. Gett'em outta here. Ghostflame dragon F. Is a dragon and I'm tired of bonking feet. The other fight with all the other mobs was the worst not because the mobs were dangerous because they would take forever to die and would do no damage to dragon but you would get obliterated by the hammer bros if they snuck up on you. I went in and beat all their asses while having to dodge aoe farts from the dragon AND THEN had to make sure I didn't get farted on and have to do it all again. Just let me fight the dragon and it'd be at least an E. Bug Lady is annoying but you can just use bollus's or whatever to clear it once it procs. Her landing and the 10 hour cast gives a big enough window. Her hitbox is a bit wonky I find. I'd C.. c for C-UNT hitbox. Basically if it's a big stupid fast moving camera shit fest I don't like it. Other people can like it but I don't give a fuck.

yea, camera problem happens when the boss is big and way too aggressive. this dlc is all about big bosses with temper and if you don't beat them first try, it will be twice harder because they are literally going to gank you when entering yellow fog door

I had no idea Senessax would be hated so much. Just felt like a regular ancient dragon fight with just that extra flurry of lightning after each attack to me. It took me a few tries but it didn’t trigger me like it seems to have triggered everybody else 😂

He doesn't even know what the bosses do, bro was just standing still and hitting. And how he puts Messmer in S when he almost cryied during the fight and said he would stop playing cause it's too hard 😂😂

3/4 of the dlc done with a cheese build. No offence but asmons opinion and this tier list is worth less than shit. This guy acts like a soulsborne veteran and ive seen him watch other peoples gameplay giving commentary like hes some kind of pro. Give me a break

Furnace golem was really an eye catcher. Walking around slowly in the distant background, looking like a lit wicker man. I liked watching it rise on Emiru after Asmon beat the DLC.

Imagine being reborn and instantly getting smoked by a tarnished

Honestly i also feel like having Goldwyn would have been cooler because you could see the man who defeated Fortisax with Miquellla

I like the Furnace Golems because everytime you see a new one you know you’re headed to a new zone. I never even touched any of them because I just assumed it was a damage sponge and that sounds boring.

When I killed Radahn I initially didn't know that was the final boss and the game is over. I think that speaks of how little he feels like he should've been the final boss.

So I think a cool idea for the Final boss would be to keep the first phase like it is but change the 2nd phase. The story about how Mogh was controlled by Miquella and Radahn’s souls was implemented into the body stays the same. Now, it would be cool if during the 2nd phase cut scene where Radahn is turning red Miquella comes out and says something to the effect of “that body is too weak for your soul”. Then, instead of becoming Radahn’s backpack, Miquella bring’s out Godwyn’s body and puts Radahn’s soul into Godwyn’s body. Now, for lore reasons, Miquella should have to be continuously using his powers on top of the steps to do this, which is why the fight didn’t start that way. It also shows why the lore of the main game shows that Miquella “failed” at bringing back Godwyn. It would tie most of it together. Then the final boss could be Radahn in Godwyn’s more powerful body using a different move-set with dragon skills, gravity, and maybe death blight.

Asmongold: " I hate bosses that put status effects on you that deal a lot of dmg" also Asmongold: puts Midra S-tier

Opinions are opinions but I was hyped af when I saw it was Radahn.. Someone I had slayed in a pitiful state has come back at their rumored full power that we never got to fight and was already one of the coolest fights in the game for me. So I disagree radahn fight is one of the coolest lore wise and just in general it looked amazing only topped by the camera cinematic in the mesmer fight for me with the snakes.. The way the camera moved was awesome.

The Bayle fight with the npc summon is so sick. The VA really put some passion in

Bale allows you to freely chop at his lost foot, off target its very easy. So idk what asmon was on about this being the best dragon fight or something, while also stating that usual dragon figts are ass, cause you just choop at their feet while trying to guess their attacks.

Wow great content watched it all

putting demi human swordmaster onze at A over radahn at s tier is literally the most troll i have EVER seen XD

I kinda messed up fighting Bayle, Metyr, and Midra since i played a Rennala build on them and finished them in their second attempt

Bayle is F tier for me, absolutely horrific to play against

Can asmond even make a tier list when he went full defense ? 💀

This tier is for shield and Spears talisment users only guys

I think Asmon forgot that the DLC is not supposed to be the end of the game. Its supposed to be a path you take in the end game so that you know more about the lore. And once your done you go on to fight the last remaining bosses and finish the game with your ENding. So for the last boss of The DLC, Radahn makes the most sense. The war with malenia, the "kidnapping" of miquella by mohg. It all falls into place. Its perfect.

I had the complete opposite reaction to radahn being the final boss. I remember the hype I had fighting 1.0 radahn base game, and loving how Chad he was in the lore. That admiration stuck with me as time progressed, and to have the pinnacle of the dlc open with him gravity drawing his greatswords just put a smile on my face He’s also basically the guts to miquellas Griffith, his strongest pawn to be controlled to keep his kingdom and plans in power

I think Promised Consort is really good minus his one, two, cross attack. I think the beams of light are a super fun way of making players not only have good dodge timing but also positioning. I feel like he's the definition of hard but fair. And lore wise it's also dope. I think people forget that Godwyn actually destined death dead unlike Radahn.

Rating commander Gaius F despite not having even experienced what makes him an F tier boss (broken hitboxes) due to his build is so funny

Once you understand the lore, you will appreciate the final boss being Radahn. It's so well put together in the story.

Dancing lion has to go in S, the lion sets up the mood for the rest of the dlc

Radahn was cool, we've all seen him. One of the best boss appearances of all time. However, a recycled boss as a final boss in the dlc is not what anyone should want.

Asmon didn’t even see half of these bosses movesets because he played the game like a fucking bot. I wish he wouldn’t be so stubborn and just try to learn the attack patterns. The game really isn’t that hard, and once you get the feel for a boss, it’s pure euphoria

They should’ve given Baylor a cinematic cutscene. Especially cool knowing he maimed placidussax and took 3 of his heads off and lost his leg. We need a smaller dlc to fight PRIME placidussax and PRIME Bayle

this guy was malding at bayle calling it bad design what did i miss...

The lore feels like Yaoi to me. Isnt Miquella a man with stunted growth and Radahn the consort of Miquella 😢. My brain is frying

>Metyr mother of fingers in A tier seriously he put bosses here based on how cool they look, and doesnt even care about their mechanics

The two dragons fighting if u just sat back an watched one would take out the other. I seen it like whoever wins get to fight me next lol

For Commander Gaius's charge, you need to dodge towards him. If not he'll hit you. As soon as I discovered this I beat him first try. I was dying left and right with. I actually like him now.

Messmer has literally the worst lore in fromsoft games, its the secret first child that was hidden im the basement for being weird and has 0 impact in the lore

Radahn as the final boss was cool imo. It tied up a lot of the lord. The fight itself? Pretty bullshit in the second phase.

Realistically the final fight is against miquella. Being a manipulator is integral to miquellas character and strength. To create a new erdtree is to inherit how this worlds reincarnation functions. Miquellas shadow realm is them standing behind everyone they have manipulated and recycled into their artificial kingdom. The strongest victim was radahn so he was made a lord then used as a tool to stop the tarnished. My personal theory is that radahn being targeted by miquella wasn't simply a utilitarian matter. Rather I think miquella felt threatened by a man who had the strength to halt the stars. Perhaps that was how he avoided being used by miquella in the first place. Radahn was likely assaulted for his defiance of miquellas order. The lands between might have been completely consumed by the shadow of the erdtree were it not for radahns resistance. The fact that morgott calls radahn a traitor states that he did not uphold the golden order duting the shattering. Bro was actually fighting everyone; probably for the sake of his soldiers. Of course miquella would see that as antithetical to his order where "everyone is kind to one another".

i don't even remember the ancient dragon man, like straight up just forgot about it

The way you play without learning any boss mechanics disqualifies you from having any actual, credible opinion regarding this game's bosses.

Rune macro is hitting hard

I mean everyone kind of gave fromsoft the idea with the prime Radahn mods and such. Blame ourselves. They wanted to go this is how it's done.

People get so mad that he "Cheesed" the bosses. He used mechanics that are in the game. Blame the developers for allowing it in their game, not the players. People wanna protect their "hardcore" gaming status and can't stand when someone doesn't struggle through it like them.

Midir > bayle
