There's always a lot of pressure on FromSoftware's shoulders when it comes to making its bosses. Over the last decade or so, challenging, spectacular boss fights have become an expected staple of FromSoftware games, and they've become one of the biggest points of speculation before a FromSoft release. Fans will theorize what types of bosses they'll see in the game, what movesets they'll have, and how difficult they'll be, among many other facets. This was all true for Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
