1. Multiple Damage Types Are Common
Even seemingly one-dimensional bosses often have surprise attacks. For instance:
Magma Wyrms deal heavy fire damage but also perform strong physical tail whips and bites.
Astel, Naturalborn of the Void, inflicts magic and Elden Ring Items gravity damage, with sudden physical strikes and AoEs.
Mohg, Lord of Bloo,d mixes fire and bleed effects with physical thrusts and spell-like incantations.
If you’re only protected against one form of damage, these other sources can quickly deplete your health.
2. Status Effects Bypass Traditional Defense
Standard armor and shields offer little to no protection against status effects like:
Scarlet Rot
Bleed
Frostbite
Poison
Sleep and Madness
If your defense is too skewed toward elemental or elden ring items buy online physical stats, status buildup will quickly become a major threat. And once it procs, the burst damage or debuffs can be deadly.
