"it's easier to attack someone in real life than it is in the game" Phil, don't kid yourself bro. you couldn't lift two halberds let alone jump more than 2cm off the ground to attack someone with them. you get winded bringing in the groceries.
Never forget that this guy complained about his wrists hurting while playing on PC for 30 minutes and he also "screwed" his knee for a couple days cause he stood up to fast from the couch....
Said the pastey fat white guy who probably never got his ass beat in his entire life.. He lives in a gated community cause he probably would cry like a baby if someone did slug him one or even aggressively poke him
The little voice in his head keeps saying "Keep jumping.... Keep heavy attacking... and don't worry, you're definitely one of the best gamers in the country"
God, I wish Kojima World Order hadn't deleted their channel. They had the BEST Champion Gundyr video on RUclips. It was hours edited down to like 50min.
Yup, her AI learns very well, so he's literally defeating himself. She has counters to most traditional cheese in the game, and I definitely think that From knew about jump spamming when they designed her. She punishes it brutally, and while you can actually dodge her punishes, he's certainly not gonna figure that out.
Pretty symbolic of himself isn’t it? Cheeses his way through life and when faced with adversity, will blame every single thing but himself and pout on top of that
There is NOTHING wrong with sucking at a From boss Especially the hard optional ones like Malenia What’s wrong is the way Phil reacts to it, he NEVER blames himself or tries to adapt his fighting style/method
He's too blind and slow in the head to blame himself. He keeps complaining that his attacks are toing through her body when they are either just missing her or he is getting staggered mid-air by her attacks so his attack is getting canceled without him realizing.
Exactly, he refuses to admit that his poor jump attack cheese for pussies doesn’t work against her and that he is using his crimson flasks at terrible times.
Exactly. Optional superbosses cam be tougher than the main boss in some games. It's supposed to push your dick in. Thats why people get a sense of satisfaction when they learn attack patterns and finally beat the boss.
Sucking at a boss is the first and vital step in the process of Git Gud. You have to suck to improve. Sucking is at the core of the Soulsborne formula. 👍
@@lewispooper3138 Chugging down heals infront of the boss and getting immediately attacked for is common sense. Just imagine a pvp scenario where your opponent starts healing 2 metres away from you. Of course you are gonna immediately attack. Sure, the game has some instances of annoying input reading but attacking as soon as you heal is, even if its done through input reading, is not a bad thing. It's 100% valid.
Well, not summoning is respectable. In the souls community, if you summon you will be laughed out of the room for it. In phils case that will happen anyway
Isn't it great how he always claims that he's better than other streamers because instead of "rushing through the game" like them, he'll try every single set, yet regardless of what "build" he chooses to use he only uses the same jump attack every single time?
I love how when he cheese staggers her, he totally fucks up the critical hit and just does a regular hit instead. This man needs to go back to Bugsnax and I Am Fish
It's so satisfying when Malenia dodges left and instantly punishes the roach whenever he jump attacks. Its immensely satisfying to see the roach this annoyed that his cheese strat isn't working anymore. A normal person would vary up their playstyle, and try different ways to get in a strike. But not Dave. If the strategy he wants to use doesn't work, the game is shit, and the devs suck.
@@onlyicedgarrett7791 I haven't fought her yet, but agility and dodging to close the distance, and get 1 to 2 hits in seems to be the way to go by observing her moveset. I definitely wouldn't try a jump attack that leaves me open for a few seconds.
Yup, it was hilarious hearing cry "why am I attacking in that direction?, because she was in that direction but dodged you dipshit, you're attacking where she was 🤣
@@mysite1012 just gotta find whst workd for you to dodge waterfowl. I ran away from first volley, dodged through the second the you go left to a step but didge to your right and she'll go left and you can avoid the last two flurries that way. Once yiu can dodge waterfowl its a pretty easy fight but its a bitch of a move to get down
Yea DSP face tank jumping L1 attacks against a boss that heals every time she hits you. Thank you Malenia for being an absolute Goddess wrecking this scrub
I knew Malenia was gonna destroy DSP, not only being a difficult boss, but she completely counters the only playstyle he knows, jumping attack and face tanking til it dies. I'm pretty sure he is only gonna beat her by either getting lucky by RNG of her attacks or being lucky enough to live through them to heal, or mega guide cheese. He already talked in his daily wrap about using blasphemous blade and spamming the skill on her.
honestly, the way he is playing isn't really bugging me..its his constant complaning when he gets caught and punished for doing honest ass mistakes in which he constantly denies..like its not even joking..its like he legitmately believes hes a that good in this game
I started this game yesterday first fromsoft game walked out the cave went to the dragon fire ruins or wotever it's called went in the trap chest spent like 3 hours dying in that one room. This is the greatest game ever.
Its so frustrating when he complains about the hitboxes, and his weapons "going through her body without doing damage", when you can clearly see that he got interrupted mid attack, therefore cancelling it and not doing damage.
Phil went for a break while dying. He came back and first thing he said was “I’m rusty from my break now!”. He was away looking at builds to change to for a cheese win and strategy guides on the boss. Still couldn’t beat the boss. *SNORRT* lol *SNORT*
Jump Attack, Jump Attack, Jump Attack...."Guys send me tips, this is the most hype stream, the one you've been waiting for..." Jump Attack, Jump Attack, Jump Attack
Excuse tracker: Hit boxes Halberds lock you in animations “I can’t move” “She’s reading me” RNG Bugged engine mechanics “My dood is rolling late” The game’s tracking is bad The engine sucks The game rotated the camera My weapons aren’t good enough The roll wouldn’t come out I don’t know the moves
Don't forget the classics he pulled out in this fight: "The game is swinging the weapons on its own without me pushing the button and locking me into the animations." "My weapons aren't connecting." "She has too much poise (fucking what?)" And my favorite: "Oh my god, I'm dead. You have to dodge the slam perfectly. The first form takes too long so I can't learn the 2nd form."
It's crazy how she has beaten both Champ Gundyr AND Ludwig's attempt number, just shows how terrible the pigroach is at Soulsborne games, I am mid at Soulsborne and I beat her on my 15th attempt with powerstanced Stormhawk Axes, on my successful attempt I only jump attacked her 3 times, once to end the first phase and 2 times after she did the flower attack
@@phantasmalphoenix2990 who cares if you jump attack. It’s in the damn game. But only using jump attacks? Only dodging one way? Lmao that’s what Phil is doing. Zero adaptability. Maximum bitching. He will summon. Guaranteed.
@@Fallacious37 That's true, ever since I've seen Phil spamming the shit out of it especially against Mohg I didn't want to use it too much, but now that I really think about it as long as you aren't constantly using it and then afterwards complaining about how a boss does the same response to the same attack like he does then there's nothing wrong with it, as a side note I'm surprised it took him this long to get to her, by the time he was battling Mohg I was going through the start of the tree after that annoying Evergoal torch section where you have to light all the torches while being stabbed by invisible assassins and unloaded on by the machine gun archers, I'm pretty sure I started after him too.
This is what we've been waiting for, boys. Watching his playthrough, me and a bunch of others kept repeating, "I can't wait until he gets to Malenia and Maliketh. They'll shut that jumping R2 cheese shit down in a hurry." They are and now the salt is flowing. And the salt. Is. Plentiful. Watching a narcissist who takes advantage of his audience, insults his fans, and in general treats people like shit, getting owned over and over and over while blaming everything other than himself is just glorious. I love it. Cheers to everyone who has watched this train wreck with me and may this fight continue on until the Pigroach rage quits.
I love how DSP says that he probably only has a week left of Elden Ring, but he literally just got to the ultra late game where the game spikes in difficulty. I was overleveled in my playthrough from exploring and grinding for fun and pretty much one shot every boss, give or take a couple extra tries here and there; but after God Skin duo each boss took me 2+ hours to beat. Yeah, I feel he's gonna be playing the game for 2 or 3+ weeks, especially if he keeps only playing it 2 to 3 times a week.
Same, as soon as I reached Malenia and struggled my way through beating her I knew this would be Phils roadblock. I think it took me maybe 15 tries. I don’t care that I used Mimic Tear for it lol
@@QuackSus I don't really watch him, but I have to think he will eventually beat her instead of uninstall the game. He has too much time invested into where he is at
I find the "locked in animations" argument so stupid when complaining about failing in From Software games. Sure, characters usually commit to one animation once the input is made, but it is usually ONE attack that doesn't last long. I played FF7 Remake for the past few weeks... Now that is commiting to animations (at least, when it comes to dodging or blocking, since you can't do either if you input any other action beforehand). Some attacks literally leave you stuck until the attack is over, and then you can roll, like the Strong Attacks from Punisher Mode. Attacks like Tempest require a lot of time to charge and release, and in some battles, spamming it is horrible. Casting magic literally has you standing still until the magic is fully casted or you get interrupted. You cannot even turn the character to face the enemy. Monster Hunter, I heard, has the same issue, which actually makes combat a lot more tactical, since spamming stuff can cause you to be punished easily. From Software games at least have pretty good mobility when it comes to the combat. Just one short animation and now you can dodge easily one attack, punish, dodge another, and punish, usually without worrying about being punished yourself, if you make it right. That's not the case on FF7R at least. If you don't interrupt the enemy, you best be ready to block or dodge after just approaching the enemy. At least, the damage in that game is... well, much lower, so you can tank a lot more things (except in Hard Mode) without dying. For me, commiting to animations in games like Elden Ring is not a big issue due to the speed of this game. It's not super fast paced like DMC or Bayonetta. Enemies commit to their animations too, so once you learn what they will do, it is all a matter of timing and punishing. The faster your attack (as in, the one with the shortest animation), the more consistent it can damage an enemy. The more damage it does, the faster it can defeat an enemy. But none of that matters if you braindead it like DSP here. Elden Ring and most of FromSoftware games have REACTIVE Combat. You don't chase enemies and initiate your attacks first. You react to their patterns and punish them when they leave an opening. Key phrase being, when they leave an opening. Malenia has very short openings, which DSP didn't consider. Most of her battle consists on avoiding her attacks and waiting for a good opening, which is a testament to patience. Only non-From Software game that made me be extremely patient was Hollow Knight, and mostly on Absolute Radiance. I know I rambled too much, so I'll leave it at that.
A grown ass man ladies and gentlemen. I fucking love this. He's been jumpattacking non stop the entire game and I KNEW that it wasn't gonna fly with Malenia. He's so mad, fucking seething. What a baby... jeez.
He’s so braindead.. how many times must Melania do her spark combo before he realises you roll into that attack and not backwards as you’ll always get caught by the fourth attack otherwise. Melania took me a few times to solo but her punishment of the snortmeister makes her one of my favourite bosses of the game. So good to see his halberd jumping L1 / R2 cheese finally being punished. 🎉🎉🎉
Doesn't need to, he's like Neo in the matrix, able to see the hit/hurt boxes floating in the source code with the naked eye, it's the bugged puzzle boss mechanics that are all messed up, lazy devs. #dideverythingright
It always amazes me how silent he is during this. He's not talking himself through what he needs to do, what attacks he can punish and so on. He has some fighting game knowledge but I, nor he, can reliably tell you what it is.
18:05 This is peak DSP brain at work. Instead of taking the breather the game gives you when she does her flower thing to heal up his half-full HP, he instead spams jump attacks into the flower before the attack finishes so he takes damage and essentially starts phase 2 at less than one third HP. Greed is massively strong.
I like how he’s talking about her “high poise” like she’s not easy to stagger. From threw us a bone in this boss fight with her incredibly low poise. So that it’s fair in SOME regard.
Reminds me of that video of a guy speedrunning her fight (just her fight) in under a minute by running a high poise damage polearm (I think Commander's Standard) and just constantly poking her to stagger whenever she does a side dodge.
Without any guides, I ended up using my balsphemous blade on her because it was my main weapon, and you can lock her in to a perma-stagger with the fire wave L2 attack.
@@wombatgirl997 I was powerstancing the bloodhound’s fang and an omen cleaver. Everything I did staggered her. It was a hard battle and took me a little bit and a good 50-60 deaths but I finally got her
For those who can't wrap their minds around why people like DSP and LTG have a loyal fanbase who dutifully donate money to them, it's explained by "the law of large numbers." Given a large enough pool of people (all those on the internet) you will find some population of people who literally like to have their balls smashed while being dressed up like the gimp from Pulp Fiction. So given billions of people, some tiny percentage of them find DSP and LTG irresistibly entertaining. They are the scat-fetish people of the gaming world.
Trying to brute force Malenia with zero strategy, pattern recognition, situational awareness, or adaptive decision making (jump attacks only). Hmm ... It's a testament to how over-leveled he is that he can get past phase 1 playing like this.
@@RenanRufinoTrue Believe it or not he is actually not over-leveled. Believe it or not 150 is the level you can end up being when you reach Malenia if you have explored everything else except Farum Azula. He survives that cause he has 60 vigor and heavy armor. His build is OP but he is not overleveled. If he was overleveled he would have killed the boss in 3-4 hits face tanking her. Which he does try doing.
@@costelcosmincazan2321 Nah, he's a bit overleveled. You're kinda sorta intended to have the game wrapped up by LV 120ish. Balance-wise, you aren't expected to do everything in the game and constantly level up the entire time. He isn't quite as overleveled as he was for, say, most of his first Bloodborne playthrough where he could legit just facetank most bosses, but an extra 10-20 levels in VIG makes a pretty huge difference. And, yeah, he clearly copied the power stanced JR2 spam build from someone else, as it's quite over-tuned, but you aren't supposed to just spam nothing but jump attacks in every situation even if that's the main feature.
@@costelcosmincazan2321 Maybe was because i was underleveled when i fought her the first time but i never survive her waterfowl. Finished the game in around level 110 including Malenia at the end game, Phil would get destroyed at that level.
60 vig, using heaviest armor he can, and using OP physical def talisman, and Malenia still making him look like he's doing a level 1 run with how quick she kills him.
Listening to a 40 year old man streaming a videogame, referencing his own character in the third person is a mix of amusing and sad. He's saying 'He's moving here, he's jumping there' as If it isn't his own inputs.
Its one of those funny defense mechanisms he has. He will always blame mistakes on the character while crediting successes to himself. Especially noticeable when he plays a Mario platformer or something.
Its pretty telling that after getting to the hardest endgame boss Phil can't fathom that jump attacks do not track in mid air to follow the target and leave you open when you commit to them.
lol he's acting like it's a bug that his attacks don't track well, fromsoft specifically i believe starting with dark souls 2 intentionally made it so that heavy attacks with big weapons and the like had worse tracking because they had been too powerful before
@@thesavagemonster2910 That sounds really low. I was around level 140ish when I beat Malenia (and I was using the Star Caller greatswords, and I used jumping heavy a lot throughout the game). Honestly, think that once you're over a level thresh hold, probably 125 like you said, leveling up more doesn't really do much. Either you've learned how to be good at the game, or you haven't.
I love how shocked he is by the boss using more high end attacks more regularly when he does better in the fight, clearly zero knowledge of fromsoft boss behavior
90 deaths. 90 deaths and likely still climbing come tomorrow. Mal takes the crown for biggest detractor boss in Phil's FromSoft history and seems hell-bent on keeping it that way. All we need now is even more deaths, more rage and if the fates allow, him dumping Elden Ring like he did Kirby. Edit: 100 deaths and climbing lads, let's GOOOOO Edit again: welp, it was a good run lads
@@ruminating1596 Amen to that. Was amused by this one run where Phil chugged 3 times in a row and Malenia punished him for it every single time. Also this made me laugh because I could see Phil doing that XD
@@ruminating1596 I mean i just beat her at lvl 96 and took me 35 tries. Not sure why he cant beat her when hes almost double my lvl. All he does is complain.
Nah, his first run against Ludwig still tops this. Imagine 3+ hours of him getting bodied until he was just quite. This has potential, but he won't let this get to that point.
Don't worry, guys. At the end there, he said that he definitely feels like he has the right build and the right strategy. So that means hours and hours of more death and more entertainment.
Bro him getting killed 3 times in a row by that attack when he finally reaches phase 2 was the funniest shit. Its like he never dodged an arial attack in the game before.
Fights her over 70 times Take An 40 minute break "I'm now rusty" No wonder he spams the same move, cause his goldfish memory will just forget it next session/break
He actually died to Gundyr? that's like the first boss, even i who sucks at souls games btw beat him on first try just applying the knowledge i acquired from ds2 and 2 respectively. And i am terrible.
@@IDKbruh420 Ahhh... yeah that one's a bit harder, still not too bad. Thanks for clarifying, i was truly flabbergasted when at first i thought you were referring to the very first one. Cheers.
I love the pigsplaining after every death like we didn't just see him get REKT cause how bad he sucks but no its I caoulDnT roLl dOood ShEs ReadInG Me Doood SoMethIngIs HapPeNiNg dooood. Hahahah
I'm impressed. He came up with a different excuse every death. He's died like 60 times that's 60 different excuses off the top of his head. Dude is a natural born liar.
So juicy when he complains that the dodge isn't working because he dodged TOO SOON. Like what are we supposed to think, that the game dodged before he hit the button?
I love how he just keeps fucking up the distance on his cheese and says it's the game hilarious I don't even play fromsoft games and it's clear as day to me
I love when he gives up when death is incoming and acts like he’s good because he knew he was gonna die? Like everything about him is so delusional it’s scary and funny at the same time
You have streamers beating malenia with buttslams and doing lvl 1 runs, and here we have phil, not being able to do it even though he's overleveled and using good gear. It's hilarious.
"She does so much damage!" Really phil!? I beat this boss when she could only -touch- me twice and I die, you can survive a whole combo, there is no excuse!
God I love Melenia. A hard fight to even get to meet her. And she shows no mercy to the weak. As the goddess of rot she had no pity for the pig of beggness. To the ground, among the dirt and worms she put him.
YEEEEEESSSSSS MAKE HIM SUFFER Kinda sad though since hes basically over leveled for this fight and has enough health and armor to tank all her moves but hasn’t even reached phase 2 already Nvm he reached it now
I know there are items that can enhance jump attacks as well as certain weapons, yet Phil clearly demonstrates the flaws in using this cheese method. He leaves himself wide the heck open for anyone to get a good hit in, and it takes a while for him to start dodging after he uses it. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of stamina drain from repeatedly using the move. And with a boss like Melania, whose poise is seemingly determined by RNG, you can already see why this boss will shake the foundations of the Pigroach’s strategy. For this boss especially, timing is everything.
Relying on jump attack spam is pretty stupid, especially given the amount of powerful ashes of war that the game gives you. Also, the boss gets hyperarmor during certain moves to force players to be more tactical with their attacks and to punish idiots like Phil for using greedy, braindead strategies.
Been fighting her since before the first update- here's the gist. Basically, she has super armor ONLY when using a move after her arm sparks (basically her special attacks) or when she's in midair. That includes when she kicks, which counts as midair. Her second phase loves to counter staggering with kicking. So as long as her feet are on the ground at any other time, you can stagger her. In fact, when she sidesteps you, if you time your attack to land as soon as her feet touch the ground, you can STILL stagger her before she starts another combo, which usually leads to her baking away. If you proc enough, you can even "bleed" or "frost" effect her out of Waterfowl Dance, because she's in midair, and falls to the ground. I made my own katana that procs both bleed and frost, and this gave her a ton of trouble. Didn't know about the other strats because I stay offline. Her poise is quite frankly her biggest weakness, and makes all the difference when combined with the right weapons. I did a lot of experimentation with her because I enjoy dissecting things, so I have a lot of info on how she works. She's honestly not that bad, but requires players to analyze things a bit more than they're used to, at least in the modern era, hence the difficulty outcry.
@@japcloud Exactly correct. And at Piggy's level, he should be staggering her enough that she is essentially stunlocked for large portions of the first phase. But because of his use of heavy attacks with long winds ups and recovery, he loses what little advantage he has in the poise department.
Only noobs summon. A normal player with sense of dignity finds a way to overcome himself by changing play style that accommodates the situation. Unfortunately Phil lacks that ability hence why he will never beat this boss despite being severely overleveled.
@@JoeyCentral theres nothing wrong in summoning, actually game gives you the hability to summon a real player, buuutt dso claims to be a souls game veteran
I don't see him beating her without using every cheesy trick in the book but I give him SOME props for at least taking a pounding for nearly 100 deaths without using "ultimate cheese" form.
The fact that Mr. Married Adult didn’t whine and cringe at her nudity in the second phase pretty much confirms that he has looked the fight up and knew it was coming.
Maybe Phil should mix in a few jumping attacks to switch it up. Might help him beat this boss. I don’t see idiot progressing passed this boss. He doesn’t have the critical thinking or ability to adapt at all.
It's causing my brain extreme torture and pain that he's too stupid to realize that he's being mid-air staggered when she hits him mid-air and it cancels his attack. Edit: Omg he kind of figured it out lmao
He learned two things over the course of that hour long pegging:
1. I am Malenia.
2. I am the Blade of Miquella.
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
He's probably gonna rage quit you. But we know what you fear most

100 facts I don't see him besting her. See him respec and using magic lol he will fold.
90 is the real number
I just imagined Ludwig and Gundyr standing side by side giving Malenia applause.

This reminds me of Mirror Knight. He went "dick lightning" cheese on all bosses, but Mirror Knight was imune to lightning spear. He was so mad. xD
"she's reading me now."
He does 2 moves: Jump R2 or the square button for crimson tears. What is there to read?
Yup, her AI learns very well, so he's literally defeating himself. She has counters to most traditional cheese in the game, and I definitely think that From knew about jump spamming when they designed her. She punishes it brutally, and while you can actually dodge her punishes, he's certainly not gonna figure that out.

There is NOTHING wrong with sucking at a From boss
Especially the hard optional ones like Malenia
What’s wrong is the way Phil reacts to it, he NEVER blames himself or tries to adapt his fighting style/method
Agreed... This guy refuses to learn from mistakes and thinks he makes almost none at all.
He's too blind and slow in the head to blame himself. He keeps complaining that his attacks are toing through her body when they are either just missing her or he is getting staggered mid-air by her attacks so his attack is getting canceled without him realizing.
Exactly, he refuses to admit that his poor jump attack cheese for pussies doesn’t work against her and that he is using his crimson flasks at terrible times.

Hello Mox. o/
“Nothing I could do she’s reading my heals now.”
This guy is just hilarious. No accountability ever.
Input reading is big in this game. Not really for Malenia though imo
Nothing he could do except get some distance and then heal so she can’t react to your heals.
I see it more as input punishing. Since why wouldn't the boss attack you if you chug in front of her
@@lewispooper3138 Chugging down heals infront of the boss and getting immediately attacked for is common sense. Just imagine a pvp scenario where your opponent starts healing 2 metres away from you. Of course you are gonna immediately attack.
Sure, the game has some instances of annoying input reading but attacking as soon as you heal is, even if its done through input reading, is not a bad thing. It's 100% valid.
How has he never seen the bosses react to a heal? Every Crucible Knight in the game attempts a heal punish every single time.
"Something's going on, it's not doing what I tell it."......yes Phil, your controller has achieved sentience and is purposely fucking with you.
Its the guy in the game.
So he dosent want to summon, use ashes or use shields but will cheese bosses with the same jump attack spam over and over. Very entertaining philbert.

Yup, it was hilarious hearing cry "why am I attacking in that direction?, because she was in that direction but dodged you dipshit, you're attacking where she was 🤣
@@mysite1012 just gotta find whst workd for you to dodge waterfowl. I ran away from first volley, dodged through the second the you go left to a step but didge to your right and she'll go left and you can avoid the last two flurries that way. Once yiu can dodge waterfowl its a pretty easy fight but its a bitch of a move to get down
@@morsorcus8152 Looks like it. That flurry is insane. I'm not the best player in the world, so I probably won't be able to beat her.
The Scarlet Gout strikes again!
Underrated comment
@@MyRedHulk lol thanks, I thought it'd get pinned for sure, thought the one he did pin was kinda lame tbh but I'm biased
i did hit like on it though so...
Phil's philosophy of life: "I did nothing wrong"
"There's nothing I could do"
"Tried to dodge, didn't work.."
My philosophy in life is: "Technology and experience don't dictate our behavior. It comes from our minds."
He banned someone that told him to use a shield because he hurt his feelings
Yea DSP face tank jumping L1 attacks against a boss that heals every time she hits you. Thank you Malenia for being an absolute Goddess wrecking this scrub
I knew Malenia was gonna destroy DSP, not only being a difficult boss, but she completely counters the only playstyle he knows, jumping attack and face tanking til it dies. I'm pretty sure he is only gonna beat her by either getting lucky by RNG of her attacks or being lucky enough to live through them to heal, or mega guide cheese. He already talked in his daily wrap about using blasphemous blade and spamming the skill on her.
honestly, the way he is playing isn't really bugging me..its his constant complaning when he gets caught and punished for doing honest ass mistakes in which he constantly denies..like its not even joking..its like he legitmately believes hes a that good in this game
The way he is playing is bugging me.
No adapting.
Him doing only one attack the entire time bugs me lol
I started this game yesterday first fromsoft game walked out the cave went to the dragon fire ruins or wotever it's called went in the trap chest spent like 3 hours dying in that one room. This is the greatest game ever.
@@BovineIntervention Yeah, you're not supposed to be there, bruh. Abort mission 😂😂
Its so frustrating when he complains about the hitboxes, and his weapons "going through her body without doing damage", when you can clearly see that he got interrupted mid attack, therefore cancelling it and not doing damage.
Phil went for a break while dying. He came back and first thing he said was “I’m rusty from my break now!”. He was away looking at builds to change to for a cheese win and strategy guides on the boss. Still couldn’t beat the boss. *SNORRT* lol *SNORT*

Jump Attack, Jump Attack, Jump Attack...."Guys send me tips, this is the most hype stream, the one you've been waiting for..." Jump Attack, Jump Attack, Jump Attack
"she's reading all of my moves and countering them"
he's literally just jumping L1 into every attack lol, not much to counter
Right? He should have said "she's reading my 1 single move, wtf" lol
i read this as i watched that part.
15 mins in and he turns into Patches O’ Hoolahan from the Dodgeball movie
Whining and spazzing out with that knitted Knight hat on .. Omg what a child.😂
"I'm too close to the wall" man was NOWHERE close to a wall
Excuse tracker: Hit boxes
Halberds lock you in animations
“I can’t move”
“She’s reading me”
RNG
Bugged engine mechanics
“My dood is rolling late”
The game’s tracking is bad
The engine sucks
The game rotated the camera
My weapons aren’t good enough
The roll wouldn’t come out
I don’t know the moves
You could turn it into a drinking game if you hate your liver and can drink like a fish.
Combine it with excuses from FromSoft titles past and you'd have to convert your body into a distillery to survive.
Don't forget the classics he pulled out in this fight:
"The game is swinging the weapons on its own without me pushing the button and locking me into the animations."
"My weapons aren't connecting."
"She has too much poise (fucking what?)"
And my favorite:
"Oh my god, I'm dead. You have to dodge the slam perfectly. The first form takes too long so I can't learn the 2nd form."
Don't forget i cant see lol, i think the best ever tho is his new one today i was rusty after the 15min break.
“i can’t see”
“my moves aren’t coming out!”
“my weapons aren’t connecting”
He's just so bad. Thank you Malenia for finally countering the cheese
Starts panic rolling, "Something's going on it's like the timings off or something"🤓🤓
So glad I got to see this live. All hail Malenia as the new MVP.
It's crazy how she has beaten both Champ Gundyr AND Ludwig's attempt number, just shows how terrible the pigroach is at Soulsborne games, I am mid at Soulsborne and I beat her on my 15th attempt with powerstanced Stormhawk Axes, on my successful attempt I only jump attacked her 3 times, once to end the first phase and 2 times after she did the flower attack
Keep in mind he's played all of the Soulsborne games except Sekiro TWICE, yet he is still this bad at them.
@@phantasmalphoenix2990 who cares if you jump attack. It’s in the damn game. But only using jump attacks? Only dodging one way? Lmao that’s what Phil is doing. Zero adaptability. Maximum bitching. He will summon. Guaranteed.
@@Fallacious37 That's true, ever since I've seen Phil spamming the shit out of it especially against Mohg I didn't want to use it too much, but now that I really think about it as long as you aren't constantly using it and then afterwards complaining about how a boss does the same response to the same attack like he does then there's nothing wrong with it, as a side note I'm surprised it took him this long to get to her, by the time he was battling Mohg I was going through the start of the tree after that annoying Evergoal torch section where you have to light all the torches while being stabbed by invisible assassins and unloaded on by the machine gun archers, I'm pretty sure I started after him too.
i love that phil banned a guy for telling him to use a shield. that really hurt his feelings
This is what we've been waiting for, boys. Watching his playthrough, me and a bunch of others kept repeating, "I can't wait until he gets to Malenia and Maliketh. They'll shut that jumping R2 cheese shit down in a hurry." They are and now the salt is flowing. And the salt. Is. Plentiful. Watching a narcissist who takes advantage of his audience, insults his fans, and in general treats people like shit, getting owned over and over and over while blaming everything other than himself is just glorious. I love it. Cheers to everyone who has watched this train wreck with me and may this fight continue on until the Pigroach rage quits.
I love how DSP says that he probably only has a week left of Elden Ring, but he literally just got to the ultra late game where the game spikes in difficulty. I was overleveled in my playthrough from exploring and grinding for fun and pretty much one shot every boss, give or take a couple extra tries here and there; but after God Skin duo each boss took me 2+ hours to beat. Yeah, I feel he's gonna be playing the game for 2 or 3+ weeks, especially if he keeps only playing it 2 to 3 times a week.
Same, as soon as I reached Malenia and struggled my way through beating her I knew this would be Phils roadblock.
I think it took me maybe 15 tries. I don’t care that I used Mimic Tear for it lol
Well said good sir, well said 👏
have to encourage him every stream to take a break when he's mad on malenia because he will lose his touch after each break causing endless cycle
@@QuackSus I don't really watch him, but I have to think he will eventually beat her instead of uninstall the game. He has too much time invested into where he is at
It's not his fault, dood! His brain dropped the inputs.
“I pressed the button” *shows chat him pressing dahdge button repeatedly*
He cannot get to phase 2 consistently…
Also “locked in animations” - means he’s spamming attacks.
I find the "locked in animations" argument so stupid when complaining about failing in From Software games. Sure, characters usually commit to one animation once the input is made, but it is usually ONE attack that doesn't last long. I played FF7 Remake for the past few weeks... Now that is commiting to animations (at least, when it comes to dodging or blocking, since you can't do either if you input any other action beforehand). Some attacks literally leave you stuck until the attack is over, and then you can roll, like the Strong Attacks from Punisher Mode. Attacks like Tempest require a lot of time to charge and release, and in some battles, spamming it is horrible. Casting magic literally has you standing still until the magic is fully casted or you get interrupted. You cannot even turn the character to face the enemy. Monster Hunter, I heard, has the same issue, which actually makes combat a lot more tactical, since spamming stuff can cause you to be punished easily. From Software games at least have pretty good mobility when it comes to the combat. Just one short animation and now you can dodge easily one attack, punish, dodge another, and punish, usually without worrying about being punished yourself, if you make it right. That's not the case on FF7R at least. If you don't interrupt the enemy, you best be ready to block or dodge after just approaching the enemy. At least, the damage in that game is... well, much lower, so you can tank a lot more things (except in Hard Mode) without dying.
For me, commiting to animations in games like Elden Ring is not a big issue due to the speed of this game. It's not super fast paced like DMC or Bayonetta. Enemies commit to their animations too, so once you learn what they will do, it is all a matter of timing and punishing. The faster your attack (as in, the one with the shortest animation), the more consistent it can damage an enemy. The more damage it does, the faster it can defeat an enemy. But none of that matters if you braindead it like DSP here. Elden Ring and most of FromSoftware games have REACTIVE Combat. You don't chase enemies and initiate your attacks first. You react to their patterns and punish them when they leave an opening. Key phrase being, when they leave an opening. Malenia has very short openings, which DSP didn't consider. Most of her battle consists on avoiding her attacks and waiting for a good opening, which is a testament to patience. Only non-From Software game that made me be extremely patient was Hollow Knight, and mostly on Absolute Radiance.
I know I rambled too much, so I'll leave it at that.
Combat Engine's problems? Phil makes a new excuse for everything.
LMAO, its awesome how it went from "nice evade :o" to "hit the fucking bitch! >:c" xD
A grown ass man ladies and gentlemen.
I fucking love this. He's been jumpattacking non stop the entire game and I KNEW that it wasn't gonna fly with Malenia. He's so mad, fucking seething. What a baby... jeez.
Makenia become the number 1 killer of pig roach... (Rip Ludwid) and yes he banned a SC that says that.. pretty sad.
Lol best $10 I ever spent.
@@JoeyCentral send a chargeback muahaha let's see piggie fury
He’s so braindead.. how many times must Melania do her spark combo before he realises you roll into that attack and not backwards as you’ll always get caught by the fourth attack otherwise. Melania took me a few times to solo but her punishment of the snortmeister makes her one of my favourite bosses of the game. So good to see his halberd jumping L1 / R2 cheese finally being punished. 🎉🎉🎉
As someone who is a “fighting game master,” he really does not grasp the concept of recovery frames huh?😂
Doesn't need to, he's like Neo in the matrix, able to see the hit/hurt boxes floating in the source code with the naked eye, it's the bugged puzzle boss mechanics that are all messed up, lazy devs. #dideverythingright
@@lordsnarkgrumpkinslayer9865 wait if he can do that, why can he see their weakness 🤔🤔
DSP and LTG are the only people that are punch drunk from fighting games.
It always amazes me how silent he is during this. He's not talking himself through what he needs to do, what attacks he can punish and so on. He has some fighting game knowledge but I, nor he, can reliably tell you what it is.
Not even a little bit.
The boss drains health so why is he trading blows with her?
Its the only thing he knows how to do
18:05 This is peak DSP brain at work. Instead of taking the breather the game gives you when she does her flower thing to heal up his half-full HP, he instead spams jump attacks into the flower before the attack finishes so he takes damage and essentially starts phase 2 at less than one third HP. Greed is massively strong.
He just needs to rebind attack to potion and potion to attack and he's instantly be doing better.
DSP definitely is one of those people that dont have an internal dialogue
I like how he’s talking about her “high poise” like she’s not easy to stagger. From threw us a bone in this boss fight with her incredibly low poise. So that it’s fair in SOME regard.
Reminds me of that video of a guy speedrunning her fight (just her fight) in under a minute by running a high poise damage polearm (I think Commander's Standard) and just constantly poking her to stagger whenever she does a side dodge.
Without any guides, I ended up using my balsphemous blade on her because it was my main weapon, and you can lock her in to a perma-stagger with the fire wave L2 attack.
@@wombatgirl997 I was powerstancing the bloodhound’s fang and an omen cleaver. Everything I did staggered her. It was a hard battle and took me a little bit and a good 50-60 deaths but I finally got her
For those who can't wrap their minds around why people like DSP and LTG have a loyal fanbase who dutifully donate money to them, it's explained by "the law of large numbers." Given a large enough pool of people (all those on the internet) you will find some population of people who literally like to have their balls smashed while being dressed up like the gimp from Pulp Fiction. So given billions of people, some tiny percentage of them find DSP and LTG irresistibly entertaining. They are the scat-fetish people of the gaming world.
"SOMETHINS' GOIN' ON"
Trying to brute force Malenia with zero strategy, pattern recognition, situational awareness, or adaptive decision making (jump attacks only). Hmm ...
It's a testament to how over-leveled he is that he can get past phase 1 playing like this.
He can tank the Waterfowl attack TWICE, that just proves how insanely overleveled he is.
@@RenanRufinoTrue Believe it or not he is actually not over-leveled. Believe it or not 150 is the level you can end up being when you reach Malenia if you have explored everything else except Farum Azula. He survives that cause he has 60 vigor and heavy armor. His build is OP but he is not overleveled. If he was overleveled he would have killed the boss in 3-4 hits face tanking her. Which he does try doing.
@@costelcosmincazan2321 Nah, he's a bit overleveled. You're kinda sorta intended to have the game wrapped up by LV 120ish. Balance-wise, you aren't expected to do everything in the game and constantly level up the entire time.
He isn't quite as overleveled as he was for, say, most of his first Bloodborne playthrough where he could legit just facetank most bosses, but an extra 10-20 levels in VIG makes a pretty huge difference.
And, yeah, he clearly copied the power stanced JR2 spam build from someone else, as it's quite over-tuned, but you aren't supposed to just spam nothing but jump attacks in every situation even if that's the main feature.
@@costelcosmincazan2321hi phil
@@costelcosmincazan2321 Maybe was because i was underleveled when i fought her the first time but i never survive her waterfowl.
Finished the game in around level 110 including Malenia at the end game, Phil would get destroyed at that level.
I just realized how much health he has lol 😂😂😂😂😂
60 vig, using heaviest armor he can, and using OP physical def talisman, and Malenia still making him look like he's doing a level 1 run with how quick she kills him.
"See? That's bullshit. When I jump..."
STOP JUMPING....
He never complains about the hit boxes when he’s just finished a jump attack and her sword “whiffs” over the top of his head
Listening to a 40 year old man streaming a videogame, referencing his own character in the third person is a mix of amusing and sad.
He's saying 'He's moving here, he's jumping there' as If it isn't his own inputs.
Its one of those funny defense mechanisms he has. He will always blame mistakes on the character while crediting successes to himself. Especially noticeable when he plays a Mario platformer or something.
Hahahaha
Its pretty telling that after getting to the hardest endgame boss Phil can't fathom that jump attacks do not track in mid air to follow the target and leave you open when you commit to them.
lol he's acting like it's a bug that his attacks don't track well, fromsoft specifically i believe starting with dark souls 2 intentionally made it so that heavy attacks with big weapons and the like had worse tracking because they had been too powerful before
" I just want jumping l1" we know phail, we know ackackack
Phil is however many hours into Elden Ring, and is only now learning that he can't air strafe.
150 - overleved for a first playthrough. Should be around 125'ish for the sweet spot.
100 or 113 hours I think
@@thesavagemonster2910 That sounds really low. I was around level 140ish when I beat Malenia (and I was using the Star Caller greatswords, and I used jumping heavy a lot throughout the game). Honestly, think that once you're over a level thresh hold, probably 125 like you said, leveling up more doesn't really do much. Either you've learned how to be good at the game, or you haven't.
@@LastFantasiaWeapons anything above 125 is overleveld.
I love how shocked he is by the boss using more high end attacks more regularly when he does better in the fight, clearly zero knowledge of fromsoft boss behavior
Ikr he cannot even take accountability for his stupid jump attack spam and his poor healing timing.
90 deaths. 90 deaths and likely still climbing come tomorrow. Mal takes the crown for biggest detractor boss in Phil's FromSoft history and seems hell-bent on keeping it that way. All we need now is even more deaths, more rage and if the fates allow, him dumping Elden Ring like he did Kirby.
Edit: 100 deaths and climbing lads, let's GOOOOO
Edit again: welp, it was a good run lads
If it wasn't for the amount of potions you receive in this game he would never beat her. Dude was chugging like a frat boy on game day.
@@ruminating1596 Amen to that. Was amused by this one run where Phil chugged 3 times in a row and Malenia punished him for it every single time. Also this made me laugh because I could see Phil doing that XD
@@ruminating1596 I mean i just beat her at lvl 96 and took me 35 tries. Not sure why he cant beat her when hes almost double my lvl. All he does is complain.
Nah, his first run against Ludwig still tops this. Imagine 3+ hours of him getting bodied until he was just quite. This has potential, but he won't let this get to that point.
Don't worry, guys. At the end there, he said that he definitely feels like he has the right build and the right strategy. So that means hours and hours of more death and more entertainment.
Gotta respect the dedication to the “disregard logic and reasoning” build that he’s been doing for the past 5 games now
he....he tried to outrun her scarlet bloom attack xD
Bro him getting killed 3 times in a row by that attack when he finally reaches phase 2 was the funniest shit. Its like he never dodged an arial attack in the game before.
Fights her over 70 times
Take An 40 minute break
"I'm now rusty"
No wonder he spams the same move, cause his goldfish memory will just forget it next session/break
I love how no one wiffs attacks because of the game engine that’s ever played the game, except pigburt. It just does it for him.
Holy shit, Malenia has officially beat out Gundyr and Ludwig. She’s killed Phil more times than any other Souls boss. Incredible
He actually died to Gundyr? that's like the first boss, even i who sucks at souls games btw beat him on first try just applying the knowledge i acquired from ds2 and 2 respectively. And i am terrible.

This ends with him looking up a guide for bleed build or something he’s not beating this boss as he in now not a chance.
So juicy when he complains that the dodge isn't working because he dodged TOO SOON. Like what are we supposed to think, that the game dodged before he hit the button?
this guy is on copious amounts of copium he needs to go to a rehab facility ASAP
I love how he just keeps fucking up the distance on his cheese and says it's the game hilarious I don't even play fromsoft games and it's clear as day to me
ive never seen someone else other than philbert let a scripted computer enemy AI get into their heads so badly, lmao
I love when he gives up when death is incoming and acts like he’s good because he knew he was gonna die? Like everything about him is so delusional it’s scary and funny at the same time
You have streamers beating malenia with buttslams and doing lvl 1 runs, and here we have phil, not being able to do it even though he's overleveled and using good gear.

This is a Challenge run right? Killing all bosses with jump atacks?
Well. Every game Phil plays is a certain kind of challenge run, I suppose. 🤔
A “challenged” run, if you will
it’s a challenged run. different to challenge run
"She does so much damage!"
Really phil!? I beat this boss when she could only -touch- me twice and I die, you can survive a whole combo, there is no excuse!
He has no interest in learning the moveset, just repeatedly trades damage like an npc.
“It’s the game engine’s fault, not mine.”
that malding at 19:00 .... love it
"I want to play like it's Dark Souls". I don't remember spamming jump attacks in Dark Souls.
God I love Melenia. A hard fight to even get to meet her. And she shows no mercy to the weak. As the goddess of rot she had no pity for the pig of beggness. To the ground, among the dirt and worms she put him.
Probably his most entertaining stream in what feels like years.
Pretty much. Phil's streams lately are just boring from the constant e-begging every 5 minutes. Glad to see Malenia put Phil in his place
YEEEEEESSSSSS MAKE HIM SUFFER
Kinda sad though since hes basically over leveled for this fight and has enough health and armor to tank all her moves but hasn’t even reached phase 2 already
Nvm he reached it now
What is his level now?

@@Abdullah..S i solo her at lvl 90(maybe a bit lower) died alot but felt good about it idk
I know there are items that can enhance jump attacks as well as certain weapons, yet Phil clearly demonstrates the flaws in using this cheese method. He leaves himself wide the heck open for anyone to get a good hit in, and it takes a while for him to start dodging after he uses it. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of stamina drain from repeatedly using the move. And with a boss like Melania, whose poise is seemingly determined by RNG, you can already see why this boss will shake the foundations of the Pigroach’s strategy. For this boss especially, timing is everything.
Her poise is not rng. She has really low poise but like other enemies she gets hyperarmor during attacks.
Hes all about being tanky. So many times he should have died but live thanks to the meta armor
Relying on jump attack spam is pretty stupid, especially given the amount of powerful ashes of war that the game gives you. Also, the boss gets hyperarmor during certain moves to force players to be more tactical with their attacks and to punish idiots like Phil for using greedy, braindead strategies.
Been fighting her since before the first update- here's the gist. Basically, she has super armor ONLY when using a move after her arm sparks (basically her special attacks) or when she's in midair. That includes when she kicks, which counts as midair. Her second phase loves to counter staggering with kicking.
So as long as her feet are on the ground at any other time, you can stagger her. In fact, when she sidesteps you, if you time your attack to land as soon as her feet touch the ground, you can STILL stagger her before she starts another combo, which usually leads to her baking away. If you proc enough, you can even "bleed" or "frost" effect her out of Waterfowl Dance, because she's in midair, and falls to the ground.
I made my own katana that procs both bleed and frost, and this gave her a ton of trouble. Didn't know about the other strats because I stay offline.
Her poise is quite frankly her biggest weakness, and makes all the difference when combined with the right weapons.
I did a lot of experimentation with her because I enjoy dissecting things, so I have a lot of info on how she works. She's honestly not that bad, but requires players to analyze things a bit more than they're used to, at least in the modern era, hence the difficulty outcry.
@@japcloud Exactly correct. And at Piggy's level, he should be staggering her enough that she is essentially stunlocked for large portions of the first phase. But because of his use of heavy attacks with long winds ups and recovery, he loses what little advantage he has in the poise department.
If you dodge and run laterally when she does waterfowl dance you can get out of the way in time.
Normal people: I'm stuck on this boss. I guess I'll summon or change my battle strategy to make it doable.
Phil:...
Only noobs summon. A normal player with sense of dignity finds a way to overcome himself by changing play style that accommodates the situation. Unfortunately Phil lacks that ability hence why he will never beat this boss despite being severely overleveled.
@@JoeyCentral theres nothing wrong in summoning, actually game gives you the hability to summon a real player, buuutt dso claims to be a souls game veteran
14:58 Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge.
To be fair with DSP, it really looks like his controller is broken... Only the jump, attack and estus buttons are working
I don't see him beating her without using every cheesy trick in the book but I give him SOME props for at least taking a pounding for nearly 100 deaths without using "ultimate cheese" form.
Phil:"i can be good at games if i want to", and the answer to him is: "I am Malenia, blade of Miquella!" Malenia is effing awesome!
Jump attack, dodge, heal, whine, jump attack, dodge, heal, whine, for 4 hours ....
The fact that Mr. Married Adult didn’t whine and cringe at her nudity in the second phase pretty much confirms that he has looked the fight up and knew it was coming.
He did mention a second phase hours before meeting the boss.
I'm learning 🧀
Maybe Phil should mix in a few jumping attacks to switch it up. Might help him beat this boss. I don’t see idiot progressing passed this boss. He doesn’t have the critical thinking or ability to adapt at all.
When Phil insults his fans, he's just reinforcing the dents in their heads to take more punishment. 🤣
This dude used the Asmondgold Technique and still died 90 times LOL SCRUB!
It's causing my brain extreme torture and pain that he's too stupid to realize that he's being mid-air staggered when she hits him mid-air and it cancels his attack.
Edit: Omg he kind of figured it out lmao
