The Most Powerful Beings in Elden Ring
As a passionate soulsborne gamer and content creator, I am constantly amazed by the deep lore and complex characters that hide behind Elden Ring‘s brutal combat. But which characters stand at its absolute peak in terms of pure power? Get ready for an epic countdown of Elden Ring‘s top 10 strongest beings!
10 – Gloam-Eyed Queen
The mysterious Gloam-Eyed Queen‘s entirely black swords posed enough concern that Queen Marika sent her shadowbound beast Maliketh to defeat her. The swords‘ eerie black flames held the power to induce true Death without invoking Destined Death. Legends say numerous demigods were slain by this profane weapon.
9 – Radagon of the Golden Order
As prime champion of the Golden Order fundamentalists, Radagon wielded the full might of their righteous zealotry. Radagon sought desperately to repair the Elden Ring while also serving Queen Marika as her devoted husband, though item descriptions reveal strain in their relationship.
8 – Godfrey, The First Elden Lord
Storied folk hero Godfrey, first Elden Lord, carried out Queen Marika’s will in conquest against storm-veiled giants, fell god apostates, dragon cults and more, becoming the greatest general the Golden Order ever knew. Tales persist of him wrestling storm lords bare-handed.
7 – Ranni the Witch
Determined to avoid becoming an "instrument of Order" for the Greater Will‘s Two Fingers, Ranni discarded her Empyrean flesh and pursued solitude in the dark moon‘s chill sorceries. Seeking to usher in an Age of Stars under her rule, Ranni mastered powers enough to contest even the shardbearers.
| Boss Name | Attack Power | Health Points |
| Ranni | 950 | 1300 |
| Radahn | 1100 | 2500 |
6 – Miquella
The eternally youthful Miquella is named most fearsome Empyrean in lore, as his unalloyed status inherits no outer god influence. Seeking to grow his own Haligtree to cast off divine manipulation, Miquella‘s magnetic will can compel even the stars.
5 – Dragonlord Placidusax
Elden Lord during the ancient dragon alliance‘s rule, Placidusax was chief god of his era, mastering powers over storm and sky. Some incantations still call out his name in reverence. Placidusax ruled from his Farum Azula citadel in the tempest while lesser hands clenched splinters of amber ruin.
4 – Malenia, Blade of Miquella
Malenia the Severed remains unmatched in combat among shardbearers, having only ever been bested once in legendary stalemate with Radahn. The scarlet bloom of her Rot Goddess power has consumed Caelid, stopped only by her iron will. But if brought to full bloom, there may be no stopping it.
3 – Maliketh, The Black Blade
As Queen Marika the Eternal‘s loyal shadowbound beast, Maliketh sealed away Destined Death in his black blades. Unleashing his Deathly dark flames, Maliketh laid waste even to demigods and deities who opposed the Golden Order during their ascent.
2 – Queen Marika the Eternal
Bearer of the Elden Ring itself, Marika the Eternal imposed an era of unchallenged dominance across the Lands Between. Even the mighty ancient dragons could not withstand her. And in one fell move, she alone shattered the Elden Ring, sparking the wars to come.
1 – The Elden Beast
The ultimate font of all blessing and life energy in the Lands Between, the Elden Beast is a true divine being manifested from the Greater Will. Its power has no apparent limit, conjuring limitless phantom blades, sun spears, flame walls and more to overwhelm all who face it. Even in supposed defeat its essence survives. Hail the Elden Beast!
Those complete my breakdown of Elden Ring‘s mightiest powers that be. Let me know your thoughts in the comments! Which character stands as your personal pick for #1?
