Are these the main bosses of the game? Just want to make sure I'm not missing any.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to keep track of the main storyline bosses in Elden Ring and wanted to confirm if this is the correct order and list. Let me know if I missed someone important or if something here is optional when I thought it wasn’t.

Margit, the Fell Omen (required to reach Godrick)

Godrick the Grafted (1 of 2 required Great Runes)

Red Wolf of Radagon (required to reach Rennala)

Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon (1 of 2 required Great Runes)

Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy / God-devouring Serpent (Great Rune boss, but optional?)

Starscourge Radahn (Great Rune boss, progresses questlines too)

Magma Wyrm Makar (optional?)

Godfrey, First Elden Lord (golden shade version)

Morgott, the Omen King

Fire Giant

Godskin Duo

Maliketh, the Black Blade

Sir Gideon Ofnir, the All-Knowing

Godfrey / Hoarah Loux

Radagon of the Golden Order / Elden Beast (final boss)

Appreciate any corrections or insights! Especially curious which Great Rune bosses are actually required and which ones are just optional but cool.

Two Mohgs, two Lorettas, Placidusax and Malenia are missing.

Edit: and two Astels.

They are, especially second Astel and Placidusax.
But first Loretta and Astel are required for one ending.

And Mohg and Malenia are Great Rune bosses and important for story.

Main boss, but can be turned into an optional one, since you can skip the entirety of Stormveil Castle and go straight to Liurnia. Which means you'll have to kill Radahn for your second Great Rune.

Same deal. Main boss, but completely optional if you don't care about Ranni's questline (and if you don't skip Stormveil).

There are four ways to reach Altus Plateau, and he only "protects" one of the two more obvious ones. So him being mandatory or optional depends on you.

Yep. As optional as it gets. Does not have any influence on main story or other questlines at all.

yeah im going for that ending, didn't know there were two though,thanks!

(Godrick+Margit) /(Rennala+Wolf) /(Radahn) /(Rykard+Godskin Noble) select two(if you kill Margit+Godrick, Wolf+Rennala you don't have to kill Radahn and Rykard).
Draconic Tree Sentinel
Godfrey Shade
Morgott
Firegiant
Godskin Duo
Maliketh
Gideon
Godfrey
Radagon

This is bare minimum.

[tmanshott2012]

to beat the game you only need to beat 2 shard bearers so you can get into leyndell

[tmanshott2012]

so a lot of the bosses are optional but are good to level up and good for the story

[ChubbNutt]

It's hard to say which ones are main bosses or not as you only need 2 Great Runes to complete the game.
