Elden Ring Bosses as Allies: A New Mod
Elden Ring and the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC are known for their challenging bosses, but now players have a unique way to utilize these powerful foes.
A mod created by NexusMods user FlippantTunic22 allows players to summon defeated bosses onto the battlefield as allies. Imagine commanding the demigod Messmer like a personal Pokémon to take down other formidable bosses.
The mod is now available for download, featuring 11 bosses from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Notable inclusions are Messmer the Impaler, the Golden Hippopotamus, and the Divine Beast Dancing Lion.
YouTube Showcase: Boss Summons in Action
YouTuber KanesGrace shared a video demonstrating the boss summons in action. In the video, KanesGrace takes on various bosses using other bosses as summons. While facing off against the Dancing Lion proves to be a tough battle, once this boss is obtained as a summon, it can quickly defeat other bosses with a single hit. The balance of power shifts in more evenly matched challenges, like when Messmer is summoned against the Putrescent Knight.
The result is both entertaining and reminiscent of watching an overpowered creature effortlessly defeat a boss in Palworld. If you’re interested in adopting a Pokémon-style approach in Elden Ring, the mod is available for download now.
