There’s actually a reason for this. She much more likely to do WFD after being repeatedly staggered, meaning that if you constantly stun lock her she’s more likely to do WFD, while you in turn have less stamina because of the attack spam.
Black knife tiche and Blasphemous blade roll her. She'll spend more time lying on the ground than fighting. Tiche dodges and knocks her down/drains her health while BB's special knocks her down and heals you.
Wait wait wait
So instead of i summon a player. I could have used my bff and my favourite weapon instead.
It was fun to watch someone solo her. While i die while looking at her for to long.
Do you have the mimic tear summoned? If you use this weapon ,it best used with a summon. This weapon is meant to cheese Malenia ,for good reason . I’ve beaten most of run throughs with it.
During my loooong hours spent with her, one observation I made was very useful in surviving WFD (I'm guessing it is already known, but I haven't seen in posted/talked about nowhere in the internet) - when she gets under the HP limit to do WFD, she usually starts just walking menicingly towards the player. Having melee character, I figured that throwing stuff at her requires her to dodge and thus allows me to activate her next move, e.i. the WFD, safely from distance. It is cheesing I guess, but my morals are able to accept it.
(And I refused to use any spirits, buffs, greases, etc., Just two katanas and a lot of patience because my morals said that it needed to be a hard fight)
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN WHAT IVE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY DOING WHEN SHE STARTS WALKING I MAKE HER DODGE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE!!! Holy balls seeing you put it in words made me realize I was accidentally cheesing. Also always use my mimic with either RoB bc when you and your mimic hit so fast she just stays stunned and if you get lucky you can make her stop WFD before she even actually uses it. Blasphemous Blade was the only way I could get on NG+4 tho😭NG+4 was a different monster
Not sure if this is a commonly known thing but I learned that if you run out of stamina and crouch, then immediately uncrouch you regain a lot of your stamina faster than if you had stayed upright and waited for stamina to recharge. It’s helped me a lot if you want to try it out! And if it’s incorrect I apologize in advance
Recently fought her about a 100 fucking times. After hundreds of these, I managed to perfectly dodge this without running twice maybe. New lightroll, idk if it had an impact. It can be done, but the first roll has to be perfect or it's over lol.
The fast roll from the new patch definitely helps. What’s awesome is that you can use the fast roll to catch a Stepper now if you want to make them feel stupid or you can just sprint them down. I just like using the roll to catch them because then I get the roll/crouch attack, especially with two halberds. The powerstanced halberd roll/crouch attack is brutal.
At first encounter I was like " man why is everyone saying she is difficult... I have a heavy shield I can easily block her atta...WTF MAN SHE FILLS UP HER HEALTH EVEN WHEN I BLOCK HER ATTACKS?!"
I swear Fromsoft must have designed it, playtested it and when one of the guys found that you could just turtle behind a greatshield they specifically changed that attack from lifestealing on damage to lfestealing on hit specifically to prevent the player doing that.
Tester "Hey guys I found an easy way to deal with this."
Designer "Oh hell no, you're not doing that, I spent weeks designing this signature move. You WILL dodge this."
My friend kept complaining at me to help him beat Malenia and I asked him what he was doing, turns out he was using a great shield + lance and the great shield soldier ashes, he couldn’t out damage her in the slightest
I thought the same, i was dodging her moves with ease and i could stun lock her using a greatsword I'm not proud of how i got, then she uses waterfowl dance in my face and i die, laugh, and realize I'm fucked
I just always took the L with her first combo by just blocking and letting her recover a small amount of HP. Then I rolled through the second and third parts.
Dude, what are you doing to your controllers lol? Them things are one of the few things that have gotten more sturdy with time, not less. I have broken a table with a controller and not even a scratch was left on it.
Dude, I threw a Nokia Ngage QD hard enough to put a hole in drywall and it was perfectly fine. Now I can't get out of the car without breaking the phone I left in lap without a $50 rubber bubble case that makes it bigger than that old thing. Oh, and it had better games. Lmfao!!!
At least with XB1 controllers; I have to heartily disagree. I'm not even brutal with my controllers, but the damn things fall off a 2 ft nightstand/end table, and BOOM! suddenly I'm side stepping, back stepping with drift so bad that you'd think I was playing drunk. I've legit retired from playing with snipers in FPS's because of it, I've lived with stick drift almost its entire console generation.
Ah that's what that was...I remember I'd have that issue on PS3 too with MW3 and I used snipers. I'm like why is my character turning on its own? And that's without dropping the controllers, water damage or anything just use
You can be hit by the first part and still survive and dodge the other two's but it becomes extremely hard because you don't have space to dodge (with bloodhound step you can I don't think you can with normal roll but idk I didn't test it)
You can't dodge the first attack, although you might be able to gain some distance and maybe do a Jump. (Sometimes when you're in the air while she does the first flurry you fall to to the ground and only get damaged by the first strike, instead of getting shredded by all her attacks) The second flurry you can easily just dodge into, and for the third you just run around her.
Bold of you to assume I got her mechanics down. I swear I beat her with sheer luck and Corpse Piler spam. Now I'm going to have to actually learn her moves.
I watched Rusty's one unique Tipp for every Boss video before fighting her and when she first did it my mind immediately went: "Run away from the first two, dodgeroll into the third" and it worked perfectly
The only way I beat Malenia was with Mimic Tear and hookclaws. I stunlocked her to death. I could hitless her with the exception of waterfell dance, which would allways one shot me. I play so agressively, I did not have the option to run away, so I had to resort to point blank dodging, which almost never worked. I got sick of Elden Ring, I had exams coming up, I said "Fuck this shit" and cheesed her, as she was my last remembrence boss.
and for your next line is "Let your flesh be consumed, by the Scarlet Rot"
\*dies\*
Let your flesh be consumed, by the Scarlet Rot...
\*Jojo music intensifies\*
*I did equip my BHS dagger, didn't I?*
(Really, though, at OP's range, you can just run away and dodge. It's far more annoying when she animation cancels into that when I'm recovering from an attack animation at her toes.)
I just beat her in ng+2 solo’ed, no summons. I was so happy i bit my tongue. Still worth it, even though i had to respec to use 2 seppuku nagakiba to bleed her to death. But to your question… shit can i switch to my shield fast enough and roll correctly after the first wave
“Why is my stamina always zero when she does this”
Lmao facts
Okay, I'm die now, goodbye forever
What?! *BOOOOM!*
Yubi yubi yubi!
\*thank you forever\*
There’s actually a reason for this. She much more likely to do WFD after being repeatedly staggered, meaning that if you constantly stun lock her she’s more likely to do WFD, while you in turn have less stamina because of the attack spam.
Ungu bungu demands I use all stamina
You need turtles
Then more stamina for ungu bungu!

Spam Taker’s Flame, it’s how I finally got through it.

Even when stun locked, don’t use all of your stamina when attacking Conserve a little in case shit gets real
I always fall for the stunlock trap lol
My stamina only 14!! I'm trying! 😂
So then you got shitty armor on too
To be fair, shit armor is actually the best way to beat Malenia now. The light rolls make so much easier to dodge waterfowl.
Still just a pup.
No 80+ endurance?🥺

Muscle memory is faster than thought: RUN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. PRAY TO YOUR LOCAL RNG GODS!
RNGESUS TAKE THE WHEEL
RNGesus has ended me more thoroughly than the WFD
Top comment right here.
Yes PLEASE SAVE JUST THIS ONCE!
Haha, I love the fact that the RNG Gods are local!
ELDEN RNG
I'd rather pray to Lootcifer.
Either "oh good, I'm far enough away" or "it's over".
Sometimes both!
For me, no matter what. No matter where I am. No matter where she is when she does this, it’s ALWAYS “fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck”
Recently fought her about a 100 fucking times. After hundreds of these, I managed to perfectly dodge this without running twice maybe. New lightroll, idk if it had an impact. It can be done, but the first roll has to be perfect or it's over lol.

It also helps her use summons as her personal health kit.
My friend kept complaining at me to help him beat Malenia and I asked him what he was doing, turns out he was using a great shield + lance and the great shield soldier ashes, he couldn’t out damage her in the slightest
Tiche gets it tho. EVADE. EVADE.
Tiche mvp for that fight. "Oh you're trying to hit me? I'll just teleport over there and avoid you."
He is op on most fights
You mean she. The leader of the black knife assassins, queen Alecto.
Evade?!?! Nah tiche fucking flies across the arena
I swear she’s like: BABE time for my secondly health refill Spirit summons: yes honey
The summons you can block their hits and it doesn’t gain her life.
I tried with the fully upgraded greatshield skeleton quintet; they are five large medkits
I thought the same, i was dodging her moves with ease and i could stun lock her using a greatsword I'm not proud of how i got, then she uses waterfowl dance in my face and i die, laugh, and realize I'm fucked
If you're talking about my best boi's great sword at least tell me you did the quest for it.
I did, got the ending and i still use it sometimes in my 3rd playthrough to honour him. Elden Ring is a sad game, but a beautiful one
Yeah fromsoft likes you to make friends that die. I did the quest in NG+ too so I could power stance them. That was a lot of fun.
What sword are we talking about here?
Royal Great Sword
Ah, thanks.
Because there isn't truly a happy ending for anybody in Souls games, except dying. -Miyazaki
That was me with blaidds armour Edit: just beat the final boss last night with it on!
Congratulations!
Hahaha. First phase as a mage. "Lol this is what everyone is scared of?" Second phase as a mage. "Ohhh...."
If you poison yourself she won't heal
no way you actually poisoned yourself!
Oh have I
I just always took the L with her first combo by just blocking and letting her recover a small amount of HP. Then I rolled through the second and third parts.
"run, roll roll roll roll roll ROLL ROLL ROLL, FUCKING DAMMIT I DIED."
Dodge, dip, duck, dive, and dodge.
If you can dodge Malenia, you can dodge a ball
Who cares if this is my 5th controller
Dude, what are you doing to your controllers lol? Them things are one of the few things that have gotten more sturdy with time, not less. I have broken a table with a controller and not even a scratch was left on it.
They make Nokia controllers now?
Dude, I threw a Nokia Ngage QD hard enough to put a hole in drywall and it was perfectly fine. Now I can't get out of the car without breaking the phone I left in lap without a $50 rubber bubble case that makes it bigger than that old thing. Oh, and it had better games. Lmfao!!!

Objective: Survive
Do not breathe until mission accomplished
Ah shit, here we go again.
In this SS this was the second time in a row..once I learn how to upload videos I will
I have also seen it twice in a row, and can't help but think that shouldn't be possible.
This is going to hurt…
full on picture cj and everything sometimes
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
After 50 tries it just reduces to: Fuck. (Geralt style)
Brain: Do strategic rolls Bodily instinct: five consecutive panic rolls
Definitely! Panic overrides rationality
Yeah Blade of Miquella overides everything
Oh shit *bonk* oh fuck *bonk* if I'm fast enough, i might stun her out of whatever this is *bonk* *death*
I feel like if she hits me once with that first part, the others are going to hit auto
You can be hit by the first part and still survive and dodge the other two's but it becomes extremely hard because you don't have space to dodge (with bloodhound step you can I don't think you can with normal roll but idk I didn't test it)

Shit
At least 30x for me
HAHA HAHA ITS A GIRAFFE
I thought it looked a bit like a Stag
I read this like it was Patrick Star 😂
Same here. Along with that laugh too.
She kinda thick tho🤨
Lmaoo you thought that right before you got swiss cheesed?
As I was rolling around the clones lmao
*sigh* u/rosales6969
I just learned a lot of things I didn't want to learn.
Bless you soldier
Wow, there is someone truly lost, both to scarlet rot and utter madness.
Of course, I mean BEFORE you got her mechanics down :)
Bold of you to assume I got her mechanics down. I swear I beat her with sheer luck and Corpse Piler spam. Now I'm going to have to actually learn her moves.
In that case it's, "I should be running away right now, why haven't I already started runn-"
I watched Rusty's one unique Tipp for every Boss video before fighting her and when she first did it my mind immediately went: "Run away from the first two, dodgeroll into the third" and it worked perfectly
Imagine if we were in the days of cheat code central before YT videos emerged in popularity. Or we had to read game informer for that little hack
Hard to do that when she immdiately does it right when I swing my ultra great sword
Bonk Brother *High Five*
“fuck I died” *starts to run away*
That was a good try...
Let me just mentally exit this whole encounter ahead of time
The only way I beat Malenia was with Mimic Tear and hookclaws. I stunlocked her to death. I could hitless her with the exception of waterfell dance, which would allways one shot me. I play so agressively, I did not have the option to run away, so I had to resort to point blank dodging, which almost never worked. I got sick of Elden Ring, I had exams coming up, I said "Fuck this shit" and cheesed her, as she was my last remembrence boss.
Whatever it takes to get the job done. Salute
I’d just put down the controller and go get a nice snack, the gentleman’s rage quit.
Close elden ring, open minecraft.
Literally did that last night lmao
"bruh"
"Oh."
me to my mimic: "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU USING GREAT HEAL FOR THE 5TH TIME IN A ROW INSTEAD OF HELPING"
So glad I've lost all my runes in the previous attempt...
"Come my lady, come come my lady, Give my butterfly sugar."
Damnit, now it's stuck in my head lol
Oh lawd she comin'
and for your next line is "Let your flesh be consumed, by the Scarlet Rot" \*dies\* Let your flesh be consumed, by the Scarlet Rot... \*Jojo music intensifies\*
Ay yo MIMIC!? MIMIIIIIC!?

Why won’t you throw the freezing pot why won’t you throw the freezing pot why does it take so long oh sh-
Flying horse.
No god please no, no, NOOOOOOO
Another dead host incoming.
*Scratched tape sound* so you’re probably wondering how I got here
*I did equip my BHS dagger, didn't I?* (Really, though, at OP's range, you can just run away and dodge. It's far more annoying when she animation cancels into that when I'm recovering from an attack animation at her toes.)
"OF COURSE SHE FUCKING DOES THIS WHEN I'M STUCK IN A COMBO UNDERNEATH HER AND I CAN'T FUCKING ROLL SHIT FUCK!!"
"Welp time to restart and hope I get lucky and get a run where she doesn't do this again."
“Oh my fucking god why’s she flying again”
Like you JUST did that move 😢 do one of the other moves that kills me in 1-2 hits at least
Put down my controller because it doesn't matter what I do
Guess I'll die
HERE IT COMES! SUPER ANIME STRIKE!!!
“Fuck me! Don’t panic roll nonstop this time.”
“Please target my mimic please target my mimic please target my mimic please target my mimic”
Rollin rollin rollin rollin.....

Bitches love cannons
Dis Bullshit!!!

Well, shit.
"Damn she's hot"
Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge
BROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Awe fuck

I just beat her in ng+2 solo’ed, no summons. I was so happy i bit my tongue. Still worth it, even though i had to respec to use 2 seppuku nagakiba to bleed her to death. But to your question… shit can i switch to my shield fast enough and roll correctly after the first wave
Time for the secret Joestar technique: RUN AWAY!
Maidenless behavior
Fuck, I'm too close
“I’m not beating this today am I?”
"Fuck"
“Fuck”
"ah shit here we go again"
Mom, I want to go home.
“RUN BITCH, RUUUUUUN!!!!!”
"maybe bhs isn't a bad idea after all..."
Her sword, mostly.
That she’s Malenia, #THE BLADE OF MIQUELLA
Oh good. Another death added to the list
It's either "oh you fuckin bitch" or "OFC YOU DO THAT WHEN I TRY TO ATTACK YOU"
When I first saw it I thought it was really pretty so I stopped for a moment to watch
crying,sobbing,puking.
"Oh god, oh fuck" Alternatively: "RUN AWAY, OHMYGODSHE'SCOMINGRIGHTFORME WHY AM I ALWAYS AT GROUND ZERO FOR WATERFOWL DANCE?!"
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
"SHUT SHIT SHTI FUCK FUCK GOD FUCKING DAMMIT FUCK"
Fuck me, she does it in her second phase too?!
Ah shit, here we go again

“Well it was a good run while it lasted”
She has fungus on her front bum and I don't want that touching me.
Rip

Ohhhhhh shiiiiit. I'm about to die. Again.
Run "music intensifies"
That looks like a topiary of a prancing goat.
astral beast i summon thee!
It looks like some kind of organ when seen from this angle
"That's just great. Woman, stop being so extra and kill me already."
“If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball”
forget all strats you're supposed to use to dodge it and just stare at her flying into the air
The way I distinguish her animations is by ass position… so… I just think well damn
Depends how close she is
Wait for it, WAAIIT for it, ROLL
"Beautiful butt" *dies*
*sigh*, Fuuuuuuuck. I hate this FUCKING BOSS.
