Do any bosses scale with you?

[Einstine]

Not talking about NG+, but during your initial play-through. And specifically dragons.

I was a much lower level and got the Flying Dragon Greyll; the one on the bridge south of Bestial Sanctuary in Caelid, down to 20-25% health a few times. Came back at a much higher level and the fight almost seems tougher, and I haven't yet been able to get him lower than 20-25% health left, still.

I am consternated, to say the least. ;)

i'm 99% sure they don't scale with you, but i could be wrong.

[Humpenstilzchen]

no

[Terratrox]

Nope. They scale based on where they are in the world (and Fromsoft's terrible design, where enemies in one room will 1 shot you while the enemies in the next cave over will take 5 hits to kill).

Sometimes it feels like Skyrim where enemys scale with you . Or they stop scaling at some lvl

I mean, wouldn't the Mimic Tear scale? lol

[Drukaris]

better consternated than constipated am i right?

Enemies don't scale. Each area as a set level, and you will likely know whether or not your under/overleveled on an area.
e.g if your getting destroyed by enemies, your not strong enough, and if you're having a breeze going through an area, your stronger than the enemies in the area.

No. One of the advantages of Elden Ring over previous games is if a boss or area is giving you too many issues, you can just wander off and do something else and come back higher level for an easier fight. You don't just have to keep bashing your head into the wall.

Mimic tear!

Thankfully, Elden Ring is not Skyrim or worse by far, Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Leveling actually makes a difference even early on.
I was surprised at how much of a change a few points made when I decided to stop to level up a bit in Limgrave and how little a change was made in the opponents (which is to say none).
A giant ant or a hired goon in a slightly rough neighborhood should not be as powerful as a literal physical god yet some games with level scaling make that happen.

I'm not sure; it absolutely copies your setup and I think damage, but I think the HP might be fixed. Certainly felt more tanky than I was.

Could be a song.

Scale with me

I think Mimic bosses scale with you.

You made it to end game yet before make that call?
