Best thing with souls games is that you really get in the zone when fighting bosses, like super focused. I swear the last boss of the DLC opened my third eye !!
Playing Fromsoft games makes you realize that you have to unlearn all the shit you learned playing hack’n slash RPGs your whole life. Once you learn how to exist in the game world, and discover the ways to make things easier on yourself, these games become something that’s actually worth every bit of your time. Not only because everything you do goes towards XP/levels/gear but you yourself are levelling up your own skill with a controller in your hand, and every hard fought victory becomes an actual triumph that you’re proud of.
My exact argument for not wanting to play Fromsoft games. As someone who was there when the whole genre begun (literally have the Diablo 1 box somewhere in my parent's house), anything that strays from the formula of "right click on a thing until it cannot be right clicked anymore" is a perversion of the genre and the core tenets of it. Sure, you may need to grind the whole ordeal and outlevel everything by a factor of 10. But that's okay in my book. The fact that Fromsoft doesn't condone this behaviour in its "action RPGs", well, immediately takes me out of the target audience. Much respect to the people who enjoy them, but if I cannot simply see the final boss, right click on it, see it be instagibbed and then say at the screen "now show me the cinematic you plebe", then the game is not worth my time.
@@PhilipAlexanderHassialis Hope you're trolling, because otherwise, that paragraph just described the exact reason why you have no satisfaction in your mediocre at best life. You haven't learned about delayed gratification, perseverance, patience, adaptability, or perhaps most importantly, managing your own failure.

You want the easy way, and don't want to actually work.
@@aarondimoff5180Lol. Your arrogance is over 9000. I cas say the same about you because you play videogames and not "live real life" and other cringe people used to say in the early Internet. Read some books about how to be humble, dude.
@PhilipAlexanderHassialis why are you even on this video then? You have to know that elden Ring takes skill so don't click on it you plebe, go back to your no skill games like the fortnite campaign
@@aarondimoff5180 Love the psychometric analysis on your behalf :) Since when did "doing something unfun for a big amount of time" as Primeagen describes "the grind", doesn't condone to perseverance and patience? Since when seeking alternative ways to overcome an obstacle instead of "get good mechanical skills or die" doesn't show adaptability? If you took the time to read, nowhere didn't I say I don't want to put the hours to overcome an obstacle. But bashing my head on the same wall, expecting to get different results is not my idea of "fun". As an exhibit of a game that condones and allows both approaches, I would point you towards the Disgaea series of tactical RPGs: you can try to break down the "puzzle" for each stage. Or you can overpower yourself through grinding to the point where the mechanics are moot and you simply trivialise the content due to vastly superior firepower on your behalf. As per your assumptions for my working conditions, as a very well paid software architect and line manager in the company I work for, allow me to simply laugh at your conjectures. Finally, get a grip my dude: a full life isn't measured on how you defeat a souls game - or how you overcome an obstacle towards what makes you happy for that matter. It is by overcoming it, regardless of the way.
Last attempt will be last attempt by last attempting the last attempt which attempts the last attempt by circumventing lasting last attempts while the last one attempt was attempted by the last one attempt to only attempt one last attempt at the attempting last attempt
The erdtree boss where you fight the guy that turns into a whale thing(Ending Boss) was the hardest boss for me. I have to admit though malenia was the most annoying boss to fight because she heals and is fast!
Chat: Just use the mimic Chat: dont you dare use the mimic RUclips viewer: Hope you're having fun playing the game in the way you want to play it. Its cool that there are multiple ways to play this game.
@@Umipumi disagree! I've seen a video where player just sat next to the wall while his mimic flattened Malenia solo - greatshield can't be easier ('cause you need to press some buttons at least) 😂
@@Anroel That mimic-build doesn't work 100% of the time though, because sometimes Malenia flattens the mimic. And in the dlc the bosses usually just ignores the mimic.
Now I kind of regret not alt f4-ing like you did after getting the kill using mimic. I didn't even see the cool attack in phase two where she sends out copies of herself. I just wanted to get to the dlc, having postponed finishing Elden Ring for so long. My favourite souls-game bosses have all been the ones I've repeatedly bashed my head against, because of that amazing sense of accomplishment. I quickly learned I regretted using coop summons when struggling, and the mimic is even more cheesy. I much prefer when there is one overtuned super cool fight like this, than having to fight two bosses at the same time.
Back when the game was released, I started Astrologer and she forced me to go Rivers of Blood. I didn't want to respect and also this was before there we countless guides. I also wasn't aware she was a optional boss. So I felt forced to take her on at my current level haha.
I was easily in the 80-90 attempts. I would give it a good 20ish attempts a night it took me 4 days to finally bring her down. 2nd phase imho is a bit easier but it's once every 10 tries to get there so it's slow learning phase 2. Her range is without compare.
It took me 19 times before I beat her. And 11 to beat radahan consort of miquella. Be flexible change your strategy and weapons and don't spam attacks.
I’ve never used a summon. Well, I used one ONCE only because I thought that’s how you were supposed to beat Radahn. I summoned Alexander, Blaidd, and whoever else. But outside of that, nope. No summone, no ashes. Ever. And never will. If I can’t beat a boss, then I just need to get good. Having essentially a second player to draw aggro is just… let’s just say not my playstyle. I’ll never. Idgaf if other people do it I’ll just never respect them as a player. But who am I
@@fiegalicious3715 I mean unless you're beating the boss naked without a weapon, you're not even really fighting the boss. People need to stop cheesing these bosses with weapons, healing flasks, and ashes of war and actually take the time to learn the mechanics and dodge everything.
I killed her on my 3rd try standing back by the entrance, shooting her with Gransax. Had to dodge around and evade her a bit at the end there, but that was just to line up taking the last 1/6th of her health in one giant shot.
Such a badass character and incredible, epic boss fight. The unleashing of the blooming scarlet aeonia flower turning into the rot goddess with wings….fromsoft are out of their minds with this shit
People who say mimics doesn't make the game insanely much easier are just coping. Nice kill man, getting the kill solo is a different beast but the feeling is amazing.
Interesting note for Mages: her first phase is actually excruciatingly easy to cheese with Night Comet if you stay at long range (almost the max range of the bolt). She doesn't approach quickly. Fully charged bolt, gain distance, fully charged bolt, gain distance...she may or may not do her big combo so just sprint out of range for the first two portions and roll through the third, then gain distance again...I actually preferred doing that phase explicitly without the mimic so that she wouldn't attack it and heal.
My first beating against her was frustrating. Had to use an extremely cheap strategy involving Mimic and directing aggro all to him. On NG+ I went lvl 125 and beat her fair and square with a simple melee build. Took me a week.
Not if you’re right up close to her and you just attacked when she jumps up so the animation is still finishing before you can turn and run. Happened to me 50,000 times trying it. You can use freezing pots to stop her from doing the attack though lol
@@paulofelipesalibasilvarend728 interesting I had no idea you could do that. Does it have to be a great shield though? I hate fat rolling and carrying a great shield in a lot of cases would make me fat roll cause I also carry a seal and a bow on me as well in some of my weapon slots . So adding a great shield just a guaranteed fat roll. Good to know though . And if you can do it with a lighter shield and it stilll works then that’s really good to know haha
Malenia is actually very easy once you understand that every single boss has a hidden weakeness. Malenia's is ice pots. When she jumps up to do her special attack just throw an ice pot at her and she come back down and be stunned for a few seconds, preventing her from doing her special attack and allowing you to get a few hits in. So just stay away from her and wait to interupt her special attack, slap her around a few times then back off and rince and repeat.
Oddly enough Malenia was not as brutal as the Radagon/Elden Beast combo for me. Got through Radagon fine most atrempts but i died to Elden Beast when he was under 500 health like 8 times (died to that endgame like 60+ times before I finally won on a super scuffed run)
Diablo 4 is today's news. Poe2 isn't even out yet for a long while. Won't be as good as people make it out to be anyways. Love it when DM makes Diablo 4 content

"3 more attempts" actually 50% of the video lol

It feels like you're in a trance, flowing through motions.
"one more try" against Malenia has the same energy as "one more map" in POE.
We know there'll be more than one.
99 percent of elden ring players quit for the night right before beating malenia
This hit me hard just now lol
That last attempt was absolutely graceful
" I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella" is the line that haunts me in my sleep and hear for 1 and a half week.
She goes full panic mode when you hit her with Mohgs spear 😂 I never first tried her before and so damn fast.
From first fight to last, a true progression of skill lvl up there.
Holy cow dude great job on the fight that ended up in the kill. That was a damn near perfect fight.
lol anybody can beat any boss with mimic ashes. Trivializes the entire game. That’s the easy slider everyone wants. *he still didnt beat Malenia.

Big thanks for nohesty - this demonstration of how mimic makes fight trivial is golden (:
And gj on fair kill 😎👍
Not a fair kill. Summon ashes are cheap af. If you didnt kill a boss 1v1 then you didnt beat it.
@@DuvalRypr you didn't watch the whole video, didn't you? Very smart 😂👍
282 attemps with RoB + Cold infusion ... this girl is truly brutal.
Its fun to watch people do this fight, some how i did it on the 3rd attempt with the giant crusher.
Back when the game was released, I started Astrologer and she forced me to go Rivers of Blood. I didn't want to respect and also this was before there we countless guides. I also wasn't aware she was a optional boss. So I felt forced to take her on at my current level haha.
An honorable one. Well done.
This video illustrates why people who say "i beat Malenia solo"... But used mimic... Didn't actually beat her solo.

I'm confused how he didn't proc bleed after his first two rivers of ash of war . I honestly haven't seen what he specked on.
It took me 19 times before I beat her. And 11 to beat radahan consort of miquella.
Be flexible change your strategy and weapons and don't spam attacks.
Looking foward to seeing how many try it will take you on the DLC last boss. Unless they nerf it, 500 try at least...
One of the few that actually did her without a summon.
Proud of you son!
with summon i foundit harder
I’ve never used a summon. Well, I used one ONCE only because I thought that’s how you were supposed to beat Radahn. I summoned Alexander, Blaidd, and whoever else. But outside of that, nope.

Bro that many deaths with Rivers of blood is wild lol. Still congrats on beating her. She has sum tuff mechanics regardless
I defeated her 2nd attempt. but only because of mimic summon taking agro and i just slap her with blasthemous blade ability
It's important to open up to strangers in public whenever they cold approach you. Otherwise we're screwed
This fight took me 4 hours to beat. I still say that Dragon Knight before the Beast Clergyman was harder.
So it seems like her name is Malenia, blade of Miquella. That much is crystal clear. Nice job man.
Nobody kills Malenia on the first try.
OG frost stomp did in sub 40sec lol
Sounds like me talking to my 4 year old daughter…
“I’m only going to tell you 5 more times”
Remember when they told him 509 deaths and he thought everyone was crazy
*I was told not to use the mimic
Looks like the gatekeepers already got to him first 🤣
all the “last ones” was cracking me up
a back hand blade would be much easier for your playstyle. Cheese method is shield and poke.
People who say mimics doesn't make the game insanely much easier are just coping. Nice kill man, getting the kill solo is a different beast but the feeling is amazing.
dude that last run was amazing
2nd! have a good one dm!
malenia looks like a weak boss compair to the new radhan boss XD

she reacts to you locking on target.
that 282 run was smooth
281 deaths.... was it worth it?
Scarlett Red is Not Like Ginger Red 😂😂😂
Mad respect to anyone who beats her solo.
31:20 she has like 2 HP... imagine dying now....
Wow what a journey!
This boss... only boss that I wasn't happy when I beat it. I felt lucky that I had won lol. No mimic of course
My first beating against her was frustrating. Had to use an extremely cheap strategy involving Mimic and directing aggro all to him. On NG+ I went lvl 125 and beat her fair and square with a simple melee build. Took me a week.
YES!the final fight was masterful and great to watch. Well done and praise the sun \[T]/
This was a oneshot for me, but it took a LOT of prep. I studied every move, maxed every relevant stat. One shot Malenia.
What the hell happened between attempt 208 and 280???
Man if ever you needed proof this is a bad boss...
Finally fights Malenia right when she gets eclipsed as the hardest boss. It's not every close that the new DLC final boss is way harder.
Wow, i forgot how little damage base games bosses did.
Nice job man!! Which one of those attempts did you complete the Asmongold challenge? 😆
I love all the content creators jumping on elden ring right around launch of the dlc. This is still enjoyable. Great editing.
took me 4 tries to beat her
how to never get hit by water fowl, As soon as she jumps up and starts to charge the attack, unlock turn and run. You will out run it everytime.
Not if you’re right up close to her and you just attacked when she jumps up so the animation is still finishing before you can turn and run. Happened to me 50,000 times trying it. You can use freezing pots to stop her from doing the attack though lol

Malenias weakness is her low poise, you can kinda stunlock and stomp her with a heavy weapon. Malenia rewards you for beeing offensive to some extend.
She is also very weak to a mimic in bullgoat with ironjar tanking while I spam DMGS weapon art and then use comet azure in p2.
It is like "One More Turn" in Civilization or "One More Map" in PoE xD
he said he was raidy..
Guess who she is??
