Seems like Malenia and Maliketh still hold up even against a DLC boss. That said, you really notice the damage-per-hit difference with Rellana compared to them.
Both Malenia and Maliketh have percentage based attacks, especially Scarlet Rot, it's certain death. But you can see the scaling is in favor of these new bosses now.
@@starkiller823That won't be a problem for the DLC final boss whose name I won't say for the sake of not spoiling it and bayle, the dragon from the last trailer.
Niall is still a pile of beans as far as bosses go, but him staggering Rellana before kneeling, them taking a moment staring each other down, then getting back up at the same time and continuing the fight was really fucking sick XD
That one was very exciting! I swear, Ancient Dragons are a huge pain, and clearly so if even boss hyper armour and DPS has to work so hard to down one.

One thing to keep in mind for DLC bosses, they are balanced around Scadutree leveling. So will have higher damage and defense than most base game bosses.
@@ManFromThePits The point is that that outcome is obvious. Some more defense and offense isn't gonna do shit against her. I think only the final boss has an actual chance of beating her, since he's immune to Scarlet Rot in phase 2 and he has such a gigantic boost to his stats that Malenia's healing won't be able to overcome it.
Rellana dodging Rennala's spells is the epitome of "Too slow, sister." EDIT: The first phase of the Malenia fight has so many incredible exchanges, but the sequence from 26:23 to 26:30 was especially majestic. Malenia falls for the feint and tries to preemptively dodge under the sword, but gets slashed from the other direction instead. Rellana tries to follow up but misses, leaving her back open to the first two hits of Malenia's combo. However, before she can land her strongest third hit, Rellana does to Malenia what Malenia did to her moments before, counterattacking with her two fastest stabs, staggering and interrupting Malenia's attack with the third slash, and finally landing the strongest fourth hit of her combo on the vulnerable Malenia.
I would extend that sequence from 26:23 to 26:40 because after Malenia gets staggered, she gets up and immediately does Waterfowl Dance and even though Rellana trades blows with her she ends up getting stance broken as well. The whole sequence is very back and forth, perfect dodges, interrupted combos and both warriors get their stance broken.
It's probably because they are coded to fight the player and not other bosses. Ever notice how bosses will immediately chase you down when you try to roll away and heal? Certain actions make specific boss moves more likely, whereas there is no player data to go off from when they fight another boss.
Its input reading or how hypocrits like to point out "Animation reading" aka the boss reacts to the first frame of a player animation (heal, dodge, attack and so on). Boss AI cant handle other bosses doing these things, thats why they rarely avoid any damage that would be easily dodgable by a player but also react much less aggressive because a lot of the things they do is actually reactive. That being said: Input reading or AnImAtIoN rEaDiNg sucks and shouldnt be part of a game, no matter the difficutly.
if you are not aggressive enough the bosses will be, it's the hard lesson from Elden Ring. but at the same time, avoid being greedy xD for example, Rellana herself, if you don't approach it as soon as the fight starts she will send a one shot kill slash.
@@ReptilianLaserbeam yeah, that's what I finally realized while I fought Relana. The longer the fight went on the more likely I'd slip up and die. So I just decided to go wild with my claws
Anyone notice how the pace shifted when Rellana was up against Malenia? Both approached the other steadily, and they engaged each others second phase. T'was a good dance.
I doubt almost anyone would've wanted to stare down the combined power of Marika and Maliketh, each of them described in lore as utterly terrifying entities.. Maliketh we get a sight of, Marika only legends and the fragments of Radagon.
Technically speaking from a lore prospective as well no one can actually beat maliketh we had to for game reasons but even malenia and radahn were terrified of him. 😅

That and at least Malenia can be launched in the air or knocked back on her ass. Feel like Rellana would have had a harder time, and therefore be more fun to fight, if they actually gave her launch and knock back animations. Clearly the poise breaks are not enough.
I think that malenia, even without her % damage, is still a "DLC level" boss. Her first phase was enough to half rellana's health, teoricaly if continues like that the fight will be pretty evenly
@@zenildoneto7710the thing is, it’s not just the percentage based damage(Scarlett rot is the only one thing malenia has I think?) it’s the healing on hit. Healing on hit promotes no hitting and dodging or the fight is basically impossible since even if you do a bunch of damage she’ll get it back. Guess what most bosses and enemies can’t do? Dodge. It’s basically just a dps test for the boss fighting her, because if it’s not high enough they just can’t do anything at all.
Lol im using my ng+4 character, just started playing through this dlc. I killed her today but I was shocked when one of her attacks one hit me with a full hp br (my character has 1999hp). I get Im on ng+4 and all but holy fuck, no other attacks have come close to just instantly killing me.
Legit turned on fullscreen mode for the Malenia vs Rellana fight, expecting awesomeness. Was not disappointed, that fight was a cinematic masterpiece. The dodges, the slashes, the stance breaks, it was all amazing.
I kinda wish to see them battle again without scarlet aeonia, who would win in the end. Cause the nuke is soooo powerfull. (not hating, Malenia is my favourite boss)
2nd try for me lol Think I would’ve first tried but I was not expecting a big boss right there. Felt like there was no build up to the big boss being next.
Beating Rellana at Blessing level 1 as my first DLC boss in NG+2 is what my dumb ass did thinking I was going in the right direction. Took me a whole day, but man, what a fun boss fight. I don't know if parrying her made it easier or harder, but throughout all the attempts I've never gotten mad. Genuinely a great boss. I then went back after realising my mistake, and did Dancing Lion, the actual first boss of the DLC, and the camera there was absolutely atrocious. Took me way fewer attempts to beat it, but the camera ruined the whole boss fight experience.
Yeah, you can tell they want you to play range with the Lion, fighting them in melee is a mess. Honestly worst boss experience with a camera for me was Bayle because he just doesn't stop attacking
She is to Messmer what Malenia is to Miquella, I got that vibe IMMEDIATELY. The water in the arena, that one dodge attack that’s just like Malenias the whole fighting style flowing as it did. It was clearly supposed to Envoke that. She’s just easier because she doesn’t heal thank god 😂
@@nicolabertini2741 well I couldn’t beat Malenia without summons carrying me, this fight I tried that but she gets so crazy with the fire at the end that I would end up dying, so I found it to be easiest fighting her with a guard break build, and learning what attacks are the end of her combos so that you can just continually break her guard in the first phase, and then summon a guy to help you take her out. I think i must have been my play style then cause I did better learning her then I ever did with Malenia
@@justingabriel1765 it's lowkey even easier to poise break Malenia, just run away when she reaches 60-70% hp in first phase, she does waterwofl then. Then whack away for the rest of the fight

@@v0x712 yeah I'm doing the dlc on NG+1... And yeah it was hell fighting Bayle, dude took over twenty attempts. Every other boss so far has been under 5
@@hidan407 Word to that. I just started yesterday after 14 months hiatus. Currently NG+3 with RL 384 character.

So DLC is going to be so much fun, at least until I dust off my muscle memory I guess :D
This is why massive dmg over time is always better than nuke dmg, when Radahns meteor isnt enough to kill the opponent, or even Moghs blood implosions, they are completely sold out, meanwhile Destined Death will just keep doing dmg and the total amount will be way higher in comparison, my boy Maliketh never dissapoints.
Nope. Its only because dlc scaling not work as it should with base game scaling. Since Nihil deal % base damage and overall deal around 130% of total hp, anyone, who have more then 1 hp or otherwise can't heal simple die to it no matter what. She only survive due to broken scaling between base game and dlc. Anyway, skills like black flame, malikesh dark flame and Nihil have fixed damage and nothing can really reduce damage from them. But since dlc scaling work different its don't deal full damage, as it should, since this is fixed damage. In normal conditions Mohg never lose to Rellana.
@@sabershark3102 dude her fight is fun as hell, you can roll through most of her spells (enhanced sword ones excepted). I fought her on NG+1 and found her more fun than fighting Pontiff because she doesn't bullshit you, if I was thinking if I get caught in the twin moon attack that's on me.
Well, Bayle does have a stump for a leg and shredded wings, but yeah, pretty much. It's easier to count the bosses who are at full strength than the ones who aren't.
11:23 that was an anime-level cinematic parallel stagger scene lol. 'Had enough?' Asked Niall as he catches his breath. "Have you?" Asks Rellana, not even winded, despite the recent torbado.

She dodged Rennala's Comet Azur like she's seen her do this trick a thousand times and told her "I'm older by 5 minutes"
Seems like Malenia and Maliketh still hold up even against a DLC boss. That said, you really notice the damage-per-hit difference with Rellana compared to them.
They always win because of their HP-related mechanics, Malenia recovers a lot of HP per hit and Maliketh's destined death reduces the HP bar absurdly.
In return, he has a low Hp and poise. Even in this video, if he had a little bit of bad luck, he would have been defeated.
They hold up because of Gimmicks, Hp reduction and health absorption

I then went back after realising my mistake, and did Dancing Lion, the actual first boss of the DLC, and the camera there was absolutely atrocious. Took me way fewer attempts to beat it, but the camera ruined the whole boss fight experience.
Yeah, you can tell they want you to play range with the Lion, fighting them in melee is a mess. Honestly worst boss experience with a camera for me was Bayle because he just doesn't stop attacking
Was watching a streamer and as soon as they stopped locking on to the beast, they started winning. The camera fucks you up in that fight.
Yeah that’s what I don’t like about the larger bosses you just can’t see what they’re doing and the camera fucks you
That was sweet as hell when Godfrey "ducked" under one of her magic sword attacks at 18:44
Yoo, I didn't even notice the matrix dodge, thought it just visually phased through! He did get hit by it, but still an epic sync
That intro to her vs Radagon - it looked so personal xD
Like she was thinking, "Oh, it's you. Rennala says hello."
Really cool how Rellana and Malenia both entered their second phase at almost the exact same time.
Malenia was easily the most epic one. The slow walk at the start was perfect.
Rellana: I can't beat the shit outta you unless I get closer
Malenia: ho ho.....come as close as you'd like..

the standoff between malenia and rellana is so cold
the fight against malenia looked awesome.. both with the dodges and similar fighting style
Also the synchronized phase transition was sick
Love that Rellana and Malenia were gracefully dancing around each other.
My boy maliketh didnt hesitate
Guy who was taken to 10% of his max health without denting Relanna’s HP: thou art of passing skill.
She is to Messmer what Malenia is to Miquella, I got that vibe IMMEDIATELY. The water in the arena, that one dodge attack that’s just like Malenias the whole fighting style flowing as it did. It was clearly supposed to Envoke that. She’s just easier because she doesn’t heal thank god 😂
For me she's A LOT harder than Malenia but it was fun to fight her
@@nicolabertini2741 well I couldn’t beat Malenia without summons carrying me, this fight I tried that but she gets so crazy with the fire at the end that I would end up dying, so I found it to be easiest fighting her with a guard break build, and learning what attacks are the end of her combos so that you can just continually break her guard in the first phase, and then summon a guy to help you take her out. I think i must have been my play style then cause I did better learning her then I ever did with Malenia
@@justingabriel1765I just threw rocks at her
@@justingabriel1765 it's lowkey even easier to poise break Malenia, just run away when she reaches 60-70% hp in first phase, she does waterwofl then. Then whack away for the rest of the fight
I fought only her and the damn lion so far, and I believe BOTH are harder than Malenia, I can beat Malenia no summons but these two I had to use spirit ash after 20+ attempts of failing solo
Bro the Mohg fight was legendary
Malaketh’s attacks do so much % damage it doesn’t matter what the health bar is.
Rules-based abilities are always nasty.
3:49 Wow, she looks so cool, like a medieval fantasy Samus Aran. The animations are amazing. Great camera control too, thanks!
Margit was so unlucky. He almost won. He deserves a rematch.
Its Mohg not margit he even get chance of hit whereas mohg healing effect litterly loss all health of rellana
No one’s gonna talk about how she took out the Mohglester?
In the end he got mohglested.
Micky Mouse was the real Mohglester all along
Mohg got used, Miquella just wanted his body
Mogh is innocent, absolved of the pədo accusations at least.
Mohg was Mohgnipulated.
Looks like she's just as excited to explore the DLC as we were.
YES, she is my favorite boss in this dlc. Can you do bayle the dread next?
Bayle is anyone's nightmare incarnate especially on ng+
@@v0x712 yeah I'm doing the dlc on NG+1... And yeah it was hell fighting Bayle, dude took over twenty attempts. Every other boss so far has been under 5
@@cyrus6461How are you on NG+ already? The DLc was basically like a reset system level wise
@@acecun6202 Im guessing he was on ng +1 and started the Dlc. Im on ng+3 level 318 when I started the dlc and damn they hit like trucks
@@hidan407 Word to that. I just started yesterday after 14 months hiatus. Currently NG+3 with RL 384 character. Lo and behold, the first kung-fu bird thing sitting on a stone arch totally obliterated me within a few minutes, because I could not even remember key bindings correctly after over year of not playing ER. So DLC is going to be so much fun, at least until I dust off my muscle memory I guess :D
It’s really cool to see malenia and rellana fight, their moves are so similar and fit so well with each others
That slow walk up between Malenia and Rellana just oozes "this about to be good" vibes.
This is why massive dmg over time is always better than nuke dmg, when Radahns meteor isnt enough to kill the opponent, or even Moghs blood implosions, they are completely sold out, meanwhile Destined Death will just keep doing dmg and the total amount will be way higher in comparison, my boy Maliketh never dissapoints.
"Well, thou art of passing skill"
*dies*
Well looks like Malenia is still broken op. Glad to see Maliketh wasn't a potato this time.
He rarely is. Win or lose, he always puts a show on.
That clutch fight against mogh and the godfrey double stance break were peak cinema
9:28 that was a really cool moment
Mohg with the biggest throw ever
probably being very confused as to how she got out
bro thought he had free dubs with his cheese nihil countdown , losing that was unacceptable 💀
I would suggest Messmer and Rellana duo vs bosses...but never mind, she alone has already defeated almost everyone😅
Tbh this system seemed to not be tested or was just looked past upon by those who tested out the expansion. This is pretty insane.
Damn you're fast, good job dude
I can only say that this DLC exceeds the expectations of all players with 2 years of experience 👏👏👏
That mohg fight was CRAZY
We need Bayle the dread his fight with palci will be insane
I agree with you
Bayle gonna stomp him so hard
Honestly I'm pretty sure most DLC bosses will wreck the base game bosses because of the system they run off of.
@@KreamyKakes exactly most of them, but not all of them
Lore accurate fight
Rellana's fight with Mohg was awesome, I love how she pulled that last second victory with just a sliver of health left :D
Nope. Its only because dlc scaling not work as it should with base game scaling. Since Nihil deal % base damage and overall deal around 130% of total hp, anyone, who have more then 1 hp or otherwise can't heal simple die to it no matter what. She only survive due to broken scaling between base game and dlc. Anyway, skills like black flame, malikesh dark flame and Nihil have fixed damage and nothing can really reduce damage from them. But since dlc scaling work different its don't deal full damage, as it should, since this is fixed damage.
In normal conditions Mohg never lose to Rellana.
Rellana (imo) is quite literally Pontiff from ds3 on cocaine
Only difference being pontiff is fun to fight against
facts
@@sabershark3102One of the worst fights in DS3 lol
@@sabershark3102 Sounds like a skill issue
@@sabershark3102 dude her fight is fun as hell, you can roll through most of her spells (enhanced sword ones excepted). I fought her on NG+1 and found her more fun than fighting Pontiff because she doesn't bullshit you, if I was thinking if I get caught in the twin moon attack that's on me.
Rellana vs Malenia was amazing. It's like they were dancing with how they were dodging each other. So cool!
yes,
It's was cool how forgotten and rellana side dashed at the same time
Maliketh remains undefeated even with DLC I see
2nd Strongest character lore wise AND NOT EVEN IN HIS PRIME🙌🏾
@zm6241 he isn't the strongest lore wise, the strongest is the elden beast
@@zenildoneto7710 and that damm slug
@@zenildoneto7710 He can probably beat it lore wise too.
@TheStraightestWhitest nah, the elden beast is the elden ring itself. There is no way that maliketh is beating the elden ring using a fragment of it
Remembering that almost every boss in the base game is a shadow of their former glory compared to the DLC bosses which are in their prime
Well, Bayle does have a stump for a leg and shredded wings, but yeah, pretty much.
It's easier to count the bosses who are at full strength than the ones who aren't.
This is amazing. Now i can't wait to see Mesmer The impaler Vs Old Bosses❤❤❤
She ATE that Radahn arrow! Have mercy 😂
That mogh fight was absolutely incredible and cinematic at the end
Man, I cracked up when Gideon starting whacking away with his staff instead of casting or healing.
hit it til' it dies is an effective strategy
And Malenia became...
the fire giant!
that Mohg CLUTCH out was intense
At 9:28, that was so epic
thanks
That mohg clutch was insane
11:23 that was an anime-level cinematic parallel stagger scene lol.
'Had enough?' Asked Niall as he catches his breath.
"Have you?" Asks Rellana, not even winded, despite the recent torbado.
LOL
lore accurate maliketh
Rellana vs. Malenia needs to be an animated fight, that was so exciting to watch lol
Маликет красавчк вообще!🔥
Маления все еще богиня- царица ! В ней даже не сомневался ❤
Thanks for not messing with boss stats like garden of eyes did with dlc
those malenia and maliketh fights look very cinematic
Malekith always putting the work on as always 😅😅
I love that flow around to the backside of the enemy move she does. Her fighting style is so graceful, I wish I could imitate it in game!
Rellana and Malenia fight was exactly what an anime 3D fight would look like
She's fast and hits hard. Some bosses in base game wait around before attacking but she is relentless 😂
FR. when i fought her and she used the magic blade projectiles, i got so schocked when she suddenly dashed towards me while im still in the dodgeroll
I have never seen a boss genuinely beat mohg after doing 3 full nihils and fighting second phase. That was clutch af!!!
That jojo edge walk at the start of melania...we know what match we REALLY came to see more than the others. Altho mohg one was REALLY good
No one is a match for destined death
It’s pretty cool how the dragon 2:39 is looking around for Relanna 😮
That Maliketh fight was sick
