Workbook For Elden Ring Boss Easy

The file is a community-made spreadsheet that tracks boss stats, weakness resistances, and recommended build optimizations for each encounter in the game. It was originally built by a player who got tired of checking multiple wiki pages mid-run and just wanted everything in one place. You can find it shared across several Discord servers and Reddit threads, usually linked from the main Elden Ring community hubs. I've used it off and on since launch, mostly when I'm testing builds I haven't run before. It covers most of the major bosses, though not every optional encounter. You open it up and look at sheets organized by region — Limgrave, Liurnia, Caelid, that kind of thing. Each row has a boss name with columns for physical damage reduction, elemental resistances, stamina costs for their combos, and how much frost or bleed buildup they take before being staggered. The columns you'll actually use repeatedly are the immunity numbers and the status effect thresholds. Those two decide whether investing in fire gestures or frostbite is worth your ash of war slots. I use the bleed thresholds sheet most often. When I was running a bleeder build through Radahn, the sheet showed he takes roughly 145 bleed buildup before procing. That number told me I needed three applications of my sword affinity weapon rather than two, and I adjusted my equipment accordingly instead of burning a run on a weapon that wouldn't proc fast enough. Saves a lot of trial and error.

There's a section on summon sign optimization too, which maps out which spirits and NPC summons pair decently with each boss's attack patterns. It's not perfect. Some of the suggestions feel dated after patches, especially around certain boss movesets that got tweaked. Margit's stagger frame data, for instance, changed after a mid-launch patch and the sheet wasn't updated for a while. I cross-referenced with frame data videos from speedrunners when I noticed the numbers looked off. The download link circulates pretty consistently at various community sites. Search for "Elden Ring boss workbook spreadsheet" and you'll find it on Google Sheets format, which means you can make your own copy and edit it. That's actually useful because the numbers shift between regions depending on difficulty modifiers and late-game balance changes. I keep a personal fork where I log my own observations alongside the published numbers. One edge case I ran into: the sheet lists Malenia's waterfowl dance as having a 1.2-second recovery window, but after patching, the actual recovery is closer to 0.8 seconds. The numbers there lag behind the patch notes by a few weeks sometimes. I just checked a frame-by-frame video and corrected the column myself. If you're using this before checking, verify the patch version the data reflects. Older sheets floating around from early access don't hold up past update 1.03 or so for certain encounters.

Downsides worth noting: it's not comprehensive. Side bosses, demigods with multiple phases, and the very endgame fights like Maliketh and Radagon don't always have detailed entries. The stat columns are also presented as flat numbers without context for how armor interaction affects effective HP. A boss might show 60% physical resistance, but that doesn't account for your weapon's skill scaling or guard counter multipliers. Use the numbers as a starting reference, not a final authority. For what it is, it cuts down research time significantly. Instead of bouncing between three different sites to figure out whether a boss is weak to holy or magic, you get a rough idea in under a minute. The format is simple Google Sheets, so you can sort by resistance type and filter for what matches your build in a couple clicks. That's the real utility here — filtering speed, not accuracy. Keep a backup of the original file so you can see what's been modified, and don't treat it as gospel on every single entry.
