Elden Ring: Curseblade Labirith (Bonny Gaol) Boss Fight (SOTE)

As you probably know, bosses in Elden Ring are divided into three tiers. From lowest to highest: Field Bosses, Greater Enemy Bosses and finally Demigods and Legends.

Curseblade Labirith is in the lowest tier, Field Bosses, and is the end boss of the Bonny Gaol dungeon. It is an optional boss in the sense that it is not required to defeat it in order to progress the main story of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

I found this boss to be a surprisingly easy fight. Usually, the Curseblade type enemies give me a bit of trouble with their jumping around and stabbing me in the back, but this boss died very quickly. I found the dungeon leading up to the boss to be more challenging overall. Maybe I was just lucky with triggering bloodloss on it or something. Or maybe I’m just completely awesome. Yeah, let’s go with the second explanation. At least until the next headless chicken mode sets in ;-)

And now for the usual boring details about my character. I play as a mostly Dexterity build. My melee weapons are the Hand of Malenia and the Uchigatana with Keen affinity. I was level 192 and Scadutree Blessing 9 when this video was recorded, which I think is reasonable for this boss. I’m always looking for the sweet spot where it’s not mind-numbing easy mode, but also not so difficult that I will be stuck on the same boss for hours ;-)
