Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has many players wondering which bosses they need to take on first and what is the best progression route in the game. It can always be a daunting task to figure out where to go first in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, and the unforgiving enemies don't make things any easier.

While there are a plethora of bosses in Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, just like the base game not all are necessary. In fact, in order to complete the DLC, players need to just defeat five bosses to finish the game. The base game had ten bosses player had to defeat, and the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC requires just half of them. Here is the order of the bosses players need to defeat:

Divine Beast Dancing Lion
Rellana, Twin Moon Knight
Golden Hippopotamus
Messmer the Impaler
Romina, Saint of the Bud
Promised Consort Radahn

Just like the base game, the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is quite open-ended, so players can go to a number of areas from the get-go. However, that is probably not going to be a great idea, considering the fact that certain areas require players to be at a much higher level. However, when progressing to the next area, it is a good idea to ensure that players have all the Scadutree Fragments from that area before they go to the next only. Not only does it help players be well-equipped for the next area, but it also ensures that they don't have to backtrack and get the Scadutree Fragments, which can be a bit of a pain to find at times. Here is the best progression route:
