Saw my buddy play yesterday and every encounter was tough for him and I run through non boss enemies killing most with one jump attack and can kill pretty much any knight type enemy before they get a chance to attack back. It sometimes feels to cheap but Im not changing it up unless I hit a boss that's obliterating me, dungeon bosses are easy and so far mohg is the only boss to just destroy me but I then found out I was fighting him way early

    Guts would probably be able to block every attack from waterfowl dance. He’s had a few moments where he’s blocking the insanely fast attacks of an opponent with extreme skill and speed. During his fight with Zondark in the black swordsman arc they had a flurry rush that was so fast that the bystanders watching the fight couldn’t even keep up with their sword swings.

      Don't turn this video into powerscaling. No, guts gets clobbered. He wouldn't be able to block anything Melania has to offer. The "insanely fast attacks of opponent that are extremely skilled!" don't matter, since they're not even close to being as fast or strong as Malenia.
      Malenia would definitely overwhelm Guts. The fact that she can fight toe to toe with a character that can hold star systems in the sky & nuke entire cities, arguably higher should be enough to tell you that.

      I know my opinion is uncommon (at least since lots of people love this fight) but yeah, it's a pretty difficult fight though definitely possible to learn but waterfowl dance just kind of ruins it. you will die multiple times trying to figure out how to dodge it and even then the dodge isn't reliable. I fought her before any dodging guides were out but even then I really despise that attack. It pretty much ruined the fight for me as even on a good attempt if I got unlucky it was just an instant loss. people reading this, if you disagree, please be respectful of my opinion. lots of elden ring players are incredulous douchebags who will shit on any unique take they find so please spare me

I understand most people feel this boss is too difficult or “unbalanced” but I feel she is an post post post endgame boss that is supposed to feel like the greatest challenge the game has to offer. Fighting her (to a victory) more than a few times has like emboldened the fact that she isn’t meant to be a breeze of a fight. If she was required for the story then I could understand why people would want her to be nerfed but I feel it would just take away from the experience of beating her.

    Some notes about your stats:
    Your vigor should be somewhere between 50-60. 40 just isn't enough once you get to the higher NG+ levels.
    Strength, while two-handed, is multiplied by 1.5, so you should be aiming for 54 or 66 in Strength. Softcaps for strength are 55 and 80, and 99 is the obvious hardcap. 54 x 1.5 = 81, 66 x 1.5 = 99
    You're using a Blood Greatsword here, but you haven't invested into Arcane at all. 45 Arcane is ideal. It provides the best status effect buildup before diminishing returns.
    Hope you're still playing!

      as a fellow strength user rocking dual colossal great hammer I have to say for water fowl dance you can't rely on it never going off. I highly would recommend having a second weapon with bloodhound step on it. I in order to do this fight without changing my build or using summoning ashes got a dagger (so it wouldn't weigh much) and just put bloodhound step on it purely to switch to for the weapon art to dodge waterfowl dance. However, if you are already close to her and you dont already have the weapon out you will get hit anyway which is probably why the fight took me 9 hours to beat.
