However, someone who has stayed quiet about their favorite boss in the game is Dark Souls creator and Elden Ring Director Hidetaka Miyazaki. The developer is often associated with the Soulsborne series, as he is known to have a clear influence over the direction, lore, and stories of the games. Previously, Miyazaki revealed his favorite FromSoftware boss, but this was before the release of Elden Ring, meaning that he couldn’t comment on the bosses of that game.

Now, Miyazaki’s silence on the Elden Ring bosses has come to an end, and he has named Radahn his favorite boss in the game. General Radahn is one of the most influential bosses in Elden Ring, as his defeat at the hands of the player will unlock a few new areas to discover and paths for them to take. Miyazaki stated in a recent interview that Radahn is his favorite because the general of the Red Lion army “is fascinating as a character, and I also like the circumstances of the Radahn Festival.”
The Radahn Festival is seen as crucial in the fight against Radahn, as it can allow an Elden Ring player to summon helpful NPCs to their side during the battle itself. Miyazaki doesn’t just have a fondness for the gravity-manipulating General, though. The game developer stated that his second favorite boss is Godrick, followed by the Lord of Blasphemy Rykard. In the same interview, the Dark Souls creator also commented that he is somewhat surprised by Elden Ring’s success, but is overall happy with it.
Finally, Miyazaki revealed what future FromSoftware titles may look like. Apparently, FromSoftware won’t be changing its approach to game production anytime soon, as the company will continue to make games that the team believes are interesting. This may be disappointing news to fans hoping for a game with lower difficulty in the Soulsborne series. However, for those who have followed the franchise since Demon’s Souls, it will be reassuring to hear that things aren’t going to change.
Elden Ring is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
