* BestLevelEver: Leyndell, Royal Capital is the game's largest and most complex Legacy Dungeon, and hands down one of the best parts of the game. A dazzlingly huge, opulent CitadelCity built around the base of the Erdtree, it's essentially a cross between [[VideoGame/DarkSoulsI Anor Londo]] and [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} Yharnam]], but larger and twistier than both. It plays to all of Fromsoft's strengths in regards to level design, being highly nonlinear with many hidden paths that connect to other areas, meaning it's very easy to miss everything in the dungeon even over the course of multiple playthroughs. With the number of rooftops, backalleys, and hidden paths available to explore, all filled to the brim with powerful enemies, Leyndell feels like a proper city, and there's a sense of triumph as you fight your way through its streets and palaces, getting closer to the Elden Throne with every step. It's capped off with your final rematch against [[TheHeavy Morgott]], who gives you one of the best fights in the game, and some major plot revelations that totally change the nature of your quest.

Redundant to Anti Climax Boss, whom Gideon is a better fit for.
Deleted line(s) 42 (click to see context) :
** Right after the hectic showdown against Maliketh and before the penultimate boss in the endgame is [[spoiler:Sir Gideon Ofnir, the All-Knowing]]. The preceding and succeeding bosses are significantly more challenging than this one, and while this boss can overwhelm you with magic if you give him the chance, you can easily stunlock him into oblivion and he doesn't have a lot of health. At best he's a GoddamnedBoss when most difficult.

Anti Climax Boss requires the boss to be the narrative climax of something, hence the name, and feel underwhelming as a result. Even the Rennala example is a stretch, as she's really not the climax of anything besides Raya Lucaria.
Deleted line(s) 21,24 (click to see context) :
** Despite being one of the bosses that the player may be required to fight to beat the main story, Rennala is one of the easiest bosses in the game. Her first phase is basically a repeat of the Deacons of the Deep from ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'', meaning you just have to target the specific enemy and kill it, allowing you to whale on her without much issue, while her second phase is a fairly straightforward enemy caster boss with some decently hard hitting spells, but all of them are fairly easy to dodge, and her only real note worthy mechanic is summoning shades, which are harder to deal with than her (especially the Dragon). Compared to Godrick, who has a fairly complex moveset, and is aggressive in both phases, Rennala isn't hard for how much build up she gets from items and spell descriptions. Heck, her pet dog is considered the hardest boss of the area, even if there are lore reasons for her underwhelming performance. Even the mini-boss who guards the elevator leading to her is considered a much harder opponent. The only builds that may have some trouble with her are sorcery-based builds, as she is nearly immune to Magic damage - however, this Magic resistance does not apply towards Gravity spells (Rock Sling in particular can take off large chunks of her health bar with ease).
** For being unique bosses locked behind puzzles in secret areas, the Ancestor Spirit bosses aren't too difficult to actually fight. Their agility and raised hitboxes admittedly makes them annoying to hit, but unlocking them will likely take the player more time than actually beating the bosses. Their moves are incredibly easy to dodge, they're among the least aggressive bosses in the game, and they don't even deal much damage when they manage to connect.
** Adan, Thief of Fire, is a total joke - his only attacks are swinging around a flail with a hilariously short reach, and creating slow-moving ball of fire with an equally short explosive radius. Just run circles around him, dodge his attacks and counterattack when need be, and you'll be through with him in about two minutes, tops.
** The Nox Priest and Nox Swordstress fought in Sellia are the most pitiful excuse of a DualBoss in the entire game. As mentioned below, there's a CheeseStrategy that allows you (and Torrent) to jump over the fog barrier so that their AI won't respond to your attacks, but chances are, you won't even ''need'' to resort to it in the first place, as they have stunningly low defenses with easily-dodged attacks, which don't really deal huge amounts of damage if you ''do'' get hit. A player with Rotten Breath and/or a decent melee build can easily make short work of them once they're cornered. Fighting through the horde of Glintstone Sorcerers to light the 3 torches to even reach them in the first place is considered a far greater challenge in comparison.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: A lot of the criticism parts of the game received were present in earlier titles, but were exacerbated due to the structure of the game:
** One of the most criticized parts of the game are, by far, the sidequests, for a variety of reasons: them being hard to discover and even more difficult to figure out how to progress, with it being entirely possible to lock yourself out of them by complete accident and lose your rewards to them. This was always present in past Soulsborne games, but the open-ended nature of the game and the fact that you could accidentally trigger quests to advance without even realizing they existed made it far more noticeable and annoying.
** On a related note, quite a few sidequests end rather anti-climactically with no real satisfying conclusion and/or with the character in question winding up dead for reasons beyond your control. This, of course, always happened in these games - for example, Patches' quest ending [[BookEnds pretty much like it began]] isn't all that different from Patches' questlines in other games, which has basically no conclusion at all in ''[[VideoGame/BloodBorne Bloodborne]]'', and ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' has a resolution with the character only available in the DLC of all places - if anything, Elden Ring's questlines actually tend to have clearer resolutions than the other games.
** The game has a lot, ''a lot'', of DummiedOut content - from entire bosses, to questlines, dialogues, item descriptions, enemies, and so on. This is standard practice for Fromsoftware games, with ''[[VideoGame/BloodBorne Bloodborne]]'' in particular having a similiar level of important stuff just not being in the game at all. What makes ''Elden Ring'' stand out was the '''sheer volume''' of said content, some of which have been eliminated from the game for reasons that we'll likely never know for sure, despite them being essentially completed.

** Obtaining the Frenzied Flame ending is hard enough as it is, but getting out of it after being locked into the ending is somehow even harder. To even get out of it, players must finish the second part of Millicent's sidequest, which means going into Castle Sol in the Mountaintops of the Giants and encountering a [[ThatOneBoss Death Rite Bird]] along the way (which you cannot switch to anytime other than night to avoid, by the way) and then going through a gauntlet of ghostly soldiers and killing the area boss, Commander Niall. After that, you then need to get both halves of the secret medallion (by finding the Albinauric Woman, Latenna and killing Niall) to head straight into the [[BrutalBonusLevel Consecrated Snowfields]], which begins with what is basically the entire Frigid Outskirts level from ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'', and then you have to do the Ordina Evergaol to access the Haligtree, and ''then'' head into Elphael to then beat a [[GoddamnedBoss Putrid Tree Spirit]] while on a swamp of Scarlet Rot. Then you have to help Millicent (challenging her at this point will not give you the item needed to avert the Frenzied Flame ending, though you get a Rune Arc and her Prothesis as compensation) and fight off what is basically a PVP gank squad to get the Unalloyed Gold Needle. However, in order to exchange the Unalloyed Gold Needle for Miquella's Needle to avert the Frenzied Flame ending, the player is first required to '''''defeat Malenia'''''. That's right, the game essentially forces you to fight the hardest {{Superboss}} if you wanted to get any endings other than the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending if you've locked yourself into it a la [[VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII Champion Gundyr]]. After that, then the player must use Miquella's Needle at a ''very specific'' spot to finally avert the Frenzied Flame ending.

One of these times involves you having to [[spoiler:reveal to Goldmask that Radagon and Marika inhabit the same body]], which it is not readily apparent how to even do and will [[GuideDangIt likely involve a guide on the player's part]]; you have to cast Law of Regression in front of a specific statue of Radagon in Leyndell and then inspect the message on the ground in front of it. In addition to the confusing nature of this, Law of Regression happens to require a ''buttload'' of Intelligence, meaning the only way to even use if for many players will be to use two Larval Tears with Rennala.
