In Elden Ring, the player needs to collect all Great Runes to restore Elden Ring. To do this, players often enter some special areas to obtain the required items.

Legacy Dungeons are the homes of Lords, where players will face some major challenges and obtain some special rewards. After defeating the bosses whose living in Legacy Dungeons, you can get pieces of Elden Ring.

As a special area in the game, Legacy Dungeons greatly display the characteristics of Elden Ring, including art design, narrative style, and even level difficulty - there are many demanding enemies in Legacy Dungeons.

Here are a few difficult Legacy Dungeons, and you need to prepare before entering them.

1. Leyndell, Royal Capital

Leyndell, Royal Capital is located in Altus Plateau. The bosses living here are First Elden Lord (Golden Shade), Godfrey and Morgott, the Omen King.

Leyndell, Royal Capital is one of the most stunning locations in Elden Ring. It has the largest and most complex map in Legacy Dungeons, so there is plenty of room for all the challenges here.

Besides new main bosses like Morgott and Godfrey, there are also some reappearing secondary bosses, such as Black Knife Assassin or Valiant Gargoyle. This makes the city a good balance between the unknown and the familiar.

This Legacy Dungeon is undoubtedly highly challenging, but it also means that you have more chances to earn lucrative Elden Ring Runes here.

2. Belurat Tower Settlement

Leyndell, Royal Capital is located in Gravesite Plain, and the boss who lives here is Divine Beast Dancing Lion.

Belurat Tower Settlement has the most tough boss in Elden Ring, as well as many new and difficult enemies, such as Gravebirds, Spider Scorpions, and Horned Warriors. Its difficulty should not be underestimated even for veterans of Soulsborne games.

If your Scadutree Blessing Level is low, rushing to Leyndell, Royal Capital to challenge Divine Beast Dancing Lion is risky, and you’ll need to prepare some better Elden Ring Items before entering.

3. Crumbling Farum Azula

Crumbling Farum Azula is located in Mountaintops of the Giants, and the bosses who live here are Dragonlord Placidusax, Godskin Duo, and Maliketh, the Black Blade.

Crumbling Farum Azula is one of the most beautiful locations in Elden Ring, but this beauty hides deadly dangers from beginning to end. Dual bosses, a wolf that carries death in his hand, a beheaded dragon that was once Elden Lord, Reviving enemies... these ruins will have some of the most stubborn opponents in the game.

4. Shadow Keep

Shadow Keep is located in Scadu Altus, and the bosses who live here are Messmer the Impaler and Golden Hippopotamus.

Shadow Keep has maze-like trouble. There are extremely chaotic level layouts, various ambushes and tough bosses here. Players will be on edge here and look carefully at every corner - there will always be something. There is no doubt that this is a well-designed challenge.

5. Stormveil Castle

Stormveil Castle is located in Limgrave, and the bosses living here are Godrick the Grafted and Margit, the Fell Omen.

As the first Legacy Dungeon in Elden Ring, Stormveil Castle has an enormous map, with intricate branching paths and many elite enemies, and it is difficult for players to find tools to restrain them here. Therefore, Stormveil Castle has become the graveyard of thousands of players and is one of the most difficult places to conquer.

6. Miquella’s Haligtree

Miquella’s Haligtree is located in Consecrated Snowfield, and the bosses living here are Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree and Malenia, Blade of Miquella.

In Miquella’s Haligtree, defeating the boss Malenia is already very challenging, and in addition to the boss, there are quite a few threats here, such as Revenants, Kindred of Rot, Giant Ants, Leonine Misbegotten, and tons of gravity. The enemies here tend to act in groups.

7. Enir-Ilim

After burning the sealing tree, you can find Enir-Ilim in Ancient Ruins of Rauh. The bosses living here are: Promised Consort Radahn, Leda and Allies.

In Enir-Ilim you will encounter the most difficult boss fight in the game. In addition, there are multiple Divine Beast Warriors, cursed Gravebirds, a gank squad, spirals of light from every direction... These things take the cruelty of the game to a new level.

This Legacy Dungeon is very difficult. It is recommended that you challenge it after Scadutree Blessing Level reaches 15 or above.
