Elden Ring boss replay add-on brings over one of Sekiro's best features

A brand new mod for Elden Ring allows you to replay bosses that you've beaten, and it's so good that we can't believe it's not a feature in the base game.

You can't replay bosses that you've already beaten in Elden Ring, which is a shame considering the huge number of bosses available to fight in-game.

However, you could replay bosses in one of FromSoftware's previous games, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which helped give the game a bit more longevity for the folks who wanted to fight Guardian Ape over and over again.

Thankfully, a new modder has bridged the gap between both titles, releasing a new mod which allows you to replay past Elden Ring bosses that you have previously defeated.

Titled Reflections of Strength, the mod functions pretty much identically to the way Sekiro presents its own boss replay mode.

At any Site of Grace, you can choose the new Reflections of Strength menu to access any previous boss that you have fought.

Can you replay every Elden Ring boss in Reflections of Strength?

At the moment, the mod includes 31 fights, including every Remembrance boss in the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree, plus a few others.

The mod also allows you to fight two variants of the final boss: Radagon and Elden Beast alone, separately, or the full fight with both as in the original game.

Once you reactivate a boss fight, you appear in front of the fog gate at the arena so you can start applying your buffs or change any equipment; then the fight starts as usual once you pass through the gate. Walking away from them will deactivate the fight and send you back.

Whether you win or lose, you return to the site of grace you started from with no runes lost and no rewards.

The mod provides you with two additional options: the first one being "Journey", which allows you to select a specific NG cycle from 'NG' to 'NG+7', which changes boss health and damage depending on the option you take.

The other option is "Scadutree Blessing", exclusive to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, where players can adjust the blessing level of their character used in DLC boss fights.

Altogether, it's a great mod for those who enjoy playing Elden Ring's boss fights and want to cut out some of the faff of starting a new playthrough just to face off against a boss again after you've already defeated them. It also serves as good practice, in case you want to test different builds and weapon combinations against specific bosses.

It also makes a case for including this kind of stuff in the vanilla game. Since it was already a feature in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (added post-launch, mind you), there's no reason to not to include in future games. In general, we'd also love to see this make its way into other games with challenging boss fights, such as Phantom Blade Zero and Valor Mortis.
