Summary
While exploringElden Ring, players are likely to encounter all sorts of strong characters and bosses. Being strong doesn’t only equate to being able to pick up heavy things, but also being powerful both through possible magic or simply emotionally strong.
It’s not just the men ofElden Ringthat can be incredibly strong, as many of the women have proven time and time again to be a powerful force for the player to not only work with but also work against. With this in mind, these are by far the strongest female characters inElden Ring.
7Millicent
Scarlet Rot Won’t Stop Her
Millicent may at first appear like an average woman who has suffered greatly from the Scarlet Rot, but through the storyline connected to her, the strength of Millicent is so much more than a woman who has overcome the rot that made her lose her arm.
With the help of theunalloyed gold needle, Millicent is back on her feet with a renewed sense of worth and strength. Once the player finds a prosthetic arm for her, Millicent is ready to wield a weapon once more. Besides her battle prowess, which makes her physically strong, she is also emotionally one of the strongest female characters inElden Ring, which even sees her accept her fate by the end of the quest.
6Melina
Strong Enough To Do What She Must
Melina is one of the first female characters players meet during their adventure inElden Ring. She has the power to make the player stronger as they collect runes. She can use them toimprove the different stats of the player.
While this naturally makes her quite strong, she is also by far one of the strongest characters emotionally, which is demonstrated near the end of the Soulsborne title. She confidently meets her end as the Kindling Maiden, allowing her own spiritual body to be set alight in the hopes of burning down the Erdtree and beckoning in the new age.
5Fia, Deathbed Companion
Hugs That Drain Health But Make The Player Strong
Fia is another female character inElden Ringthat isn’t physically strong, but still shows that she has strength in her. As aDeathbed Companion, when she asks the player for a hug, some may feel that this is something that shouldn’t be trusted. While allowing Fia to hug the player causes them to lose a percentage of health, she also gives the player a blessing which they can use at any point to not only get that lost health back but also increase their poise.
Besides this, helping Fia in her quest reveals another ending for players, as this woman, who doesn’t fight for herself, is still incredibly strong when she has the power of removing immortality entirely from the people ofElden Ring.
4Rennala, Carian Queen Of The Full Moon
Her Strength Comes From Her Magic
Just because a woman uses magic doesn’t mean she’s weak. Rennala is not only the Carian Queen, showing that she has an incredible amount of authority, but she’s also the head sorceress of the Academy of Raya Lucaria.
Players have been known to have quite an issue when dealing with Rennala with her assortment of spells, as well as having the power to summon spirit dragons. Even outside of combat, Rennala shows herself to be one of the strongest female characters, as she also has the power of allowing the player to be born anew, so they can change what their stats are.
3Loretta, Knight Of The Haligtree
Easily Holds Large Sickle With One Hand
Loretta is a woman that players have the chance to encounter twice during their adventures inElden Ring.Both occasions of meeting Loretta, especially when exploring the Haligtree, will prove that this knight that sits atop a horse is one of the strongest female characters as she gracefully and easily holds her magical sickle in one hand, making the entire battle a hard time for the player.
Besides her strength in weaponry, Loretta also has the capability ofusing magictoo, as she can easily shoot the player with a magically summoned Greatbow, which can quickly kill an unprepared Tarnished.
2Malenia, Blade Of Miquella
She Has Not Known Defeat Until The Player Arrives
Unsurprisingly, this ranking of the strongest female characters inElden Ringwouldn’t be complete without the mention of Malenia, Blade of Miquella. Not only is she arguably one of the toughest bosses in a FromSoftware game, showing how incredibly lethal she is in battle, but she also claims that she has never known defeat when she introduces herself.
Like Millicent, Malenia is another woman who has been somewhat destroyed by the Scarlet Rot, which she also has power over. Within the lore ofElden Ring, it was also Malenia that unleashed the Scarlet Rot onto Caelid, which has caused it to look the way it does when the player explores it.
1Ranni The Witch
Her Diminutive Size Is Deceiving
Out of all the female characters inElden Ring, players may be surprised to see Ranni the Witch being considered one of the strongest. However, just because she takes on the form of a doll-like lady, it doesn’t mean she is weak. Ranni has the power, with the assistance of the players, to bring about theAge of Stars.
Besides this, she was also raised as a demigod, since her father, Radagon, was a god too. While players are unlikely to encounter Ranni in combat, those who have tried to betray her will quickly learn that her demigod status is no joke, as she can easily kill the player in an instant.
