Elden Ring’s exploration feels very different from that of many mainstream games. The game purposefully hides big parts of its material. Only subtly implying to the player about the concealed items. As a result, Elden Ring portrays an open environment that doesn’t need the comforts of a mini-map or a journal to be worth exploring.
This keeps the player engaged and interested in seeing more of this meticulously constructed open environment.
All Night Time Boss Locations in Elden Ring
However, you may be wondering how the Night bosses affect the exploration experience. Prior to this, many players would have rejected the choice to rest at a Grace to pass the time. This mechanic not only motivates players to use the system but also to revisit previously explored places. To uncover new bosses at different times, but also to make totally new discoveries that they may have missed previously.
While exploring the globe, it’s quite easy to find bosses, but some are prone to be overlooked, particularly the pesky nighttime only bosses. It has happened to players numerous times playing Elden Ring that they uncover an open-world region during the day, only to learn later that bosses emerge there at night. We have compiled a list of these shadowy freak bosses to help the players to locate them.
