After slogging your way through Haligtree, you probably assumed you've beaten the hardest Legacy dungeon in Elden Ring, and are about to be rewarded for your efforts.

Little do you realise that the real challenge has only begun. After conquering Haligtree, you'll gain access to a hidden region known as Elphael. At this point, you will probably be buzzing to explore a new area, hoping it will contain all sorts of treasures and upgrades.

However, players will find themselves cursing this land's name shortly after entering. All of the hardest enemies you had the misfortune of encountering throughout your playthrough reside in Elphael, and they are all very eager to meet you again.

Sadly, you'll have little time to explore this region, since you'll be attacked every spare moment you have. Although these enemies harbour some pretty nifty runes, it's exhausting to take them all on.

If you somehow manage to make your way through Elphael, don't breathe a sigh of relief just yet. When you encounter Malenia, who's often regarded as one of the hardest bosses ever, you'll experience a level of pain you never thought possible.
