24. "Elden Ring" became unique for how it handled 'mandatory' bosses or, bosses which must be defeated in order for the player to eventually finish the game. How many mandatory bosses are in this game, out of a total of 141?
From Quiz The Lands Between: "Elden Ring"
Answer:
Nine
In no particular order, the player must defeat two Remembrance Bosses and then Godfrey, First Elden Lord in his shade form. The player has the ability to choose which Remembrance Bosses, which will be their pick of Godrick the Grafted, Renalla the Queen of the Full Moon, Starscourge Radahn, Rykard the Lord of Blasphemy, Mohg the Lord of Blood, the Regal Ancestor Spirit or Malenia the Goddess of Rot. These must be defeated before the player can encounter Morgott the Omen King, another mandatory boss. After defeating Morgott, Fire Giant is the next mandatory boss. After him, the player must go through the Godskin Duo, Maliketh the Black Blade, Hoarah Loux the Warrior and, finally, Radagon of the Golden Order and Elden Beast, the final boss fight of the game.
This may seem quite exhausting, but it's actually the smallest amount of mandatory Bosses seen in a From Software game up to this point, despite the game having far more boss fights in general than any other game in that timeframe.
