Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree - Every Boss Fight In Ancient Ruins Of Rauh, Ranked
Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is home to a plethora of powerful foes. Here's every boss players can encounter in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh.
It's not just the men of Elden Ring that can be incredibly strong, as many of the women have proven time and time again to be a powerful force for the player to not only work with but also work against. With this in mind, these are by far the strongest female characters in Elden Ring.
7 Millicent
Scarlet Rot Won't Stop Her
- Millicent is a useful ally that can hold her own in battle. She can also be an invader around the Swamp of Aeonia with her incredibly strong Waterfowl Dance skill.
Millicent may at first appear like an average woman who has suffered greatly from the Scarlet Rot, but through the storyline connected to her, the strength of Millicent is so much more than a woman who has overcome the rot that made her lose her arm.
With the help of the unalloyed gold needle, Millicent is back on her feet with a renewed sense of worth and strength. Once the player finds a prosthetic arm for her, Millicent is ready to wield a weapon once more. Besides her battle prowess, which makes her physically strong, she is also emotionally one of the strongest female characters in Elden Ring, which even sees her accept her fate by the end of the quest.
6 Melina
Strong Enough To Do What She Must
- Being able to level up the player's character makes her an incredibly powerful ally to have. Players should always accept her help.
Melina is one of the first female characters players meet during their adventure in Elden Ring. She has the power to make the player stronger as they collect runes. She can use them to improve the different stats of the player.
Elden Ring: Best Ashes Of War For Bosses
Ashes of war are a handy tool against powerful enemies in Elden Ring. Here's which ones are best suited for boss encounters.
While this naturally makes her quite strong, she is also by far one of the strongest characters emotionally, which is demonstrated near the end of the Soulsborne title. She confidently meets her end as the Kindling Maiden, allowing her own spiritual body to be set alight in the hopes of burning down the Erdtree and beckoning in the new age.
5 Fia, Deathbed Companion
Hugs That Drain Health But Make The Player Strong
- Fia has the power to give players a blessing that increases their poise in exchange for a small amount of health.
Fia is another female character in Elden Ring that isn't physically strong, but still shows that she has strength in her. As a Deathbed Companion, when she asks the player for a hug, some may feel that this is something that shouldn't be trusted. While allowing Fia to hug the player causes them to lose a percentage of health, she also gives the player a blessing which they can use at any point to not only get that lost health back but also increase their poise.
Besides this, helping Fia in her quest reveals another ending for players, as this woman, who doesn't fight for herself, is still incredibly strong when she has the power of removing immortality entirely from the people of Elden Ring.
4 Rennala, Carian Queen Of The Full Moon
Her Strength Comes From Her Magic
- Rennala being able to summon dragons is by far one of her strongest attacks during the second phase of her boss fight, not to mention her also having access to the spell Comet Azur.
Just because a woman uses magic doesn't mean she's weak. Rennala is not only the Carian Queen, showing that she has an incredible amount of authority, but she's also the head sorceress of the Academy of Raya Lucaria.
Players have been known to have quite an issue when dealing with Rennala with her assortment of spells, as well as having the power to summon spirit dragons. Even outside of combat, Rennala shows herself to be one of the strongest female characters, as she also has the power of allowing the player to be born anew, so they can change what their stats are.
3 Loretta, Knight Of The Haligtree
Easily Holds Large Sickle With One Hand
- Loretta's sickle might be strong, but her magic greatbow attack is by far one of the deadliest if players can't dodge out of the way of it.
Loretta is a woman that players have the chance to encounter twice during their adventures in Elden Ring. Both occasions of meeting Loretta, especially when exploring the Haligtree, will prove that this knight that sits atop a horse is one of the strongest female characters as she gracefully and easily holds her magical sickle in one hand, making the entire battle a hard time for the player.
Elden Ring: Most Stylish Garbs For Mages
Even in a game as brutal as Elden Ring, fashion matters. Here are the best combinations of armor for Mages of all kinds, and their stats.
Besides her strength in weaponry, Loretta also has the capability of using magic too, as she can easily shoot the player with a magically summoned Greatbow, which can quickly kill an unprepared Tarnished.
2 Malenia, Blade Of Miquella
She Has Not Known Defeat Until The Player Arrives
- Malenia uses aggressive tactics during her battle that gives players little to no time to react. She also gains health with every successful hit, making her nearly impossible to get down.
Unsurprisingly, this ranking of the strongest female characters in Elden Ring wouldn't be complete without the mention of Malenia, Blade of Miquella. Not only is she arguably one of the toughest bosses in a FromSoftware game, showing how incredibly lethal she is in battle, but she also claims that she has never known defeat when she introduces herself.
Like Millicent, Malenia is another woman who has been somewhat destroyed by the Scarlet Rot, which she also has power over. Within the lore of Elden Ring, it was also Malenia that unleashed the Scarlet Rot onto Caelid, which has caused it to look the way it does when the player explores it.
1 Ranni The Witch
Her Diminutive Size Is Deceiving
- While players don't have to fight Ranni, if they get on her bad side they can expect to be quickly killed by her powerful magic. Otherwise, Ranni's power is shown by her bringing forth a new age in Elden Ring.
Out of all the female characters in Elden Ring, players may be surprised to see Ranni the Witch being considered one of the strongest. However, just because she takes on the form of a doll-like lady, it doesn't mean she is weak. Ranni has the power, with the assistance of the players, to bring about the Age of Stars.
Besides this, she was also raised as a demigod, since her father, Radagon, was a god too. While players are unlikely to encounter Ranni in combat, those who have tried to betray her will quickly learn that her demigod status is no joke, as she can easily kill the player in an instant.
