After the final duel between Starscourge Radahn and Malenia, Caelid was infected with Scarlet Rot and became inhabited by the undead monsters. Because of the region’s harsh environment, locating and fighting all its bosses may seem like an arduous task for Tarnished in Elden Ring.

All Caelid Bosses Locations And Drops In Elden Ring
Caelid is considerably smaller than all the other regions, which is why it can only be split into two sections; Dragonbarrow and Main Caelid.
Black Blade Kindred
The Black Blade Kindred is found guarding the entrance to the Bestial Sanctum. The fastest way to reach it is by using the Waygate situated near the Third Church of Marika in Limgrave.
Defeating the Black Blade Kindred boss rewards 88,000 Runes, Gargoyle’s Blackblade, and Gargoyle’s Black Halberd.
Flying Dragon Greyll
Flying Dragon Greyll is on the bridge southeast of the Bestial Sanctum. Like the Black Blade Kindred, players can get to it quickly by using the same waygate in Limgrave. Upon defeating Flying Dragon Greyll, 80,000 Runes and a Dragon Heart are rewarded.

While there exists a Mad Pumpkin Head in Limgrave, there’s another one is inside the Caelem Ruins just east of the Forsaken Ruins. However, the boss fight in Caelid is between two Mad Pumpkin Heads; one wields a flail while the other uses a hammer.
Once killed, they drop 6,300 Runes and players can now access the treasure chest that contains the Visage Shield.

Starscourge Radahn
General Radahn or Starscourge Radahn is a Shardbearer that’s infested by Scarlet Rot. Reaching him can be done by either exploring Redmane Castle and going through a boss fight before getting to Radahn, or by unlocking Altus Plateau and activating any Site of Lost Grace in the area.
Defeating Starscourge Radahn rewards Tarnished with 70,000 Runes, Remembrance of the Starscourge, and Radahn’s Great Rune.
Crucible Knight and Misbegotten Warrior
If players chose to explore Redmane Castle before defeating Radahn, the Crucible Knight and Misbegotten put up a fierce fight while progressing to the Radahn’s Festival.
