elden ring Bosses are scary. I say this as someone who has been chewed up dozens of times by Tree Sentinel and had to rune a full 10 extra levels to face Margit the Fell Omen. (And those are just the first enemies in the game.) But how could these enemies go head-to-head? If you were curious about this – or if you just want to experience the sweet, sweet justice of seeing them fight each other for a change – you’re in luck. YouTubers and modders Garden of Eyes have created a series of videos to showcase it elden ring
These matchups pit later game bosses against each other, and the results are entertaining and justifying. There’s something rewarding about seeing other powerful beings fiddle with some of these boss attacks – and if those are bosses you’ve slain, dear Tainted, that puts it into perspective, how intimidating she must be.

Each of the videos follows a similar cadence, with an introductory card detailing how much HP each boss has. They then go head-to-head in a series of three to four matches – a nice touch that shows how balanced some of these enemies are, despite wild HP differences between some of them.
There’s the much-coveted duel between Malenia and Maliketh, pitting these two shatter-wielders against one another.
Here’s a duel with a royal bend: Morgott, the king of omens, and Rennala, the queen of the full moon.
There are many more matchups such as Godfrey fights Radagonand Malenia fights Starscourge Radahn. Garden of Eyes made similar boss fight videos for bloodborn – and the work required to modify these games sounds labor intensive. “Creating these videos requires modding and digging in the PS4 files, which requires a deep understanding and working with the different formats and tools used to get these boss fights to work properly,” it says Garden of Eyes Patreon.
Luckily, that work pays off in a series of videos that are equal parts entertaining and intimidating to watch.
