Elden Ring Fans Yearn for Boss Replayability in the Coliseums

[anthonyasmnber 0]

Elden Ring players have a burning desire: the ability to replay epic boss battles. This long-requested feature has been a topic of fervent discussion within the community, with many yearning for a dedicated system to revisit these challenging encounters.

Currently, Elden Ring players are limited to starting a new game or venturing into New Game Plus to refight bosses. However, both options come with drawbacks, resetting progress and potentially altering the difficulty curve.

A Plea for Colosseums to Answer the Call

In a recent post on the Elden Ring subreddit, user Hexent_Armana passionately appealed to FromSoftware. Their suggestion? Utilize the game's Colosseums as a platform for boss replays. Hexent_Armana argues that replaying these battles should prioritize the core fighting experience, not necessarily standard loot drops. Even the exclusion of minor items like Larval Tears wouldn't diminish the value of this feature for many players.

This sentiment resonated strongly within the community. Some fans even expressed appreciation for the ability to replay bosses without any associated rewards, purely for the thrill of the challenge.

Echoes of a Past Mechanic

Veteran Soulsborne players fondly remember a similar mechanic present in Dark Souls 2: Bonfire Ascetics. This unique item allowed players to reset areas around bonfires, effectively restarting boss fights while increasing overall game difficulty. While divisive to some, Bonfire Ascetics offered a way to re-engage bosses, a feature absent in later titles.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice also incorporated a similar system called Reflection of Strength. This feature allowed players to revisit major bosses in the game. While a full boss rush mode for all Elden Ring bosses might be considered excessive, many fans have expressed interest in a similar option focused on Remembrance bosses.

The Future of Boss Replayability in Elden Ring

FromSoftware has yet to officially address the community's desire for boss replays. However, the Colosseums remain a tantalizing possibility. These enigmatic structures within the Lands Between could potentially serve as dedicated arenas for players to hone their skills and relive epic battles. Whether FromSoftware implements such a feature remains to be seen, but the community's passionate pleas paint a clear picture: the desire to confront these legendary bosses again burns bright among Elden Ring players.
