The Insecure "I've never known defeat." vs. The Chad "Even if we painstakingly piece together something we lost, it doesn't mean things will ever go back to how they were."
What pains me the most about that quote is that it also applies to Berserk as a series. Even if Miura's assistant's were to use whatever notes he had lying around and try to truly finish Berserk as Miura intended, whatever they produced would fall short of Miura's vision regardless. Even if the series comes back and continues, and that's a big IF, it would never be the same. Something would feel like it was missing, something critical.
@@BDL3035 the way I see it they will probably treat it like something separate if they do continue. Kinda like you have Miura’s berserk which ends at 364, and then you have the continuation of the assistants as a separate thing which you can choose whether you consider canon or not.
Didn’t his side piece get raped, left his boyfriend and let him get tortured for yrs only then deciding to stay by his side, leading to his side piece getting raped.
Also, with the context of "Guts vs Malenia" this really felt like a fight that could've happened in Berserk, a Warrior Woman who reveals she's an Apostle and used her supernatural advantage to reach the status of "undefeated" only for Guts to humble her. Epic.
Every time I see the Greatsword in a fromsoft game, "My Brother" starts playing in the back of my head, and then, no matter what my build was prior, it gradually becomes swinging larger and larger pieces of metal around.
So why would Guts beat someone that can nuke entire cities, moves so fast they create after images, scales to characters that can casually hold entire star systems in the sky, has gravitational magic, and can become a literal meteor? You realize Guts isn't unbeatable right? He literally has no scaling which puts him above elden ring top tiers. Your favouritism doesn't change that, you rat.
@@fisherbalikci you have to use jump attack or the crouch/roll light attack with ultra great swords against fast enemies if they cant be staggered to shit. They made a lot of bosses in this game too fast to ever get a roll off in time. The problem is they kept the same swing time the same from previous games where the enemies were slower and had larger openings to punish them after combos.
It's almost as if this game was intended to use way much more than just the common dark souls movement, hence why strength or physical builds struggle so damn hard in this game

Good shit. I'm also running the colossal greatsword for my build and I'm still currently fighting malenia. Your vid definitely helped me see what I can do differently against her so thanks.
@@bunyArtorias I run the same build mate. But with bloodhound step, night cav armor but no helmet as guts don't wear one, when he's not berserk. I wish I could move that hunk of iron faster though
I have the exact same build, except I'm using the Royal Greatsword and Radahn's armor set. This video taught me a lot, especially how to dodge Malenia's omnislash. Thanks a lot!
but on the other hand that also adds to guts fighting style as greatswords rely on the heavy stagger and poise breaking power of their attacks and will often time risk getting hit in exchange for poise breaks which is very accurate as guts in known for gambling his life on a single strike when fighting people that outclass him like when he fought zodd.

Yooo another video of yours popped up on my feed! I can imagine Melania sorta being like Griffith, noble blood and a swordsperson who has fallen/ are trying to ascend. Awesome vid
So good to see another greatsword user perfect this fight and solo it with no cheese, no mimic, no shield, no bs. Took me about 5 hours. Good on ya mate.
Fun fact about Malenia, in her triple flurry attack, both her second and third flurry can be rolled through as long as you're close enough. This means you only need to be away of retreating from her first one, and honestly makes the fight much easier to handle.
The problem is if she does it right on top of you because then you don’t have enough time to run far enough away to avoid it because she initially dashes towards you
Thankyou so much man , been stuck on her for about 8 hours with same build and was getting destroyed , after watching ur video only took another 3 , W person for showing it was possible and how to do it
This was so fun to watch. Thanks for proving slow weapons have a chance against Malenia. Not got to her yet but I'm powerstancing curved greatswords w/ bleed and I've been worried that any GS might be useless against her because of their (lack of) speed...glad to see its viable!
I'm sure he knows that, but sometimes you don't want to risk running to the front especially if you happened to have staggered her from a weird angle/distance.
Can’t even begin to tell you how cool it is that the fight seemed to get easier for you during her second faze. I can’t even get past her first faze WITH my mimic tear helping and I’m using the same build! 🤯😂
Here's a tip from someone also using a collosal sword: I switched from the Mimic tear to using Tiche, and it made a world of difference for the first phase. Almost turned it into a joke. I'm still having trouble going through the second phase coz Malenia's omnislash hits even worse that time around, but at least getting there has become so much easier thanks to Tiche
A fellow bonk, i powerstande double Greatsword for all of the bosses and this felt so good when i finally got to kill Malenia with full STR bonk build, it’s frustrating but when you do it it’s the best
@@AbysmalRandomn3ss and jumping attacks are part of the UGS’s arsenal. And it’s not slow, it just has some slow movesets in its arsenal. UGS just requires that you know when to use what.

@@AbysmalRandomn3ss lmao it’s not cope when I’ve beaten all my bosses solo and win most of my pvp with my UGS. Just say you’re bad at using this weapon and got no skill and move on dude
@@junky2fk Who said I haven’t done the same? Presumptuous much? The only weapons I use in souls games are ultra greatswords, but I’m not a blind idiot who can’t compare things to others. Ultra greatswords have terrible recovery frames, a terrible move pool (especially against bosses), and awful hit registration. That’s why this guy can only use the weapons dodge attack and jump attack against this boss. If I wanted to just do jump attacks I can choose any other weapon in the game. Not to mention the only way these weapons are viable are to be damn near max level and max health specced. You’re trippin homie.
This makes me feel bad, I couldn't beat her with strength and changed up my build a tiny bit. Then literally the next day I see this... Pain. Malenia is the only boss I'm not satisfied with.
I feel you bro. It felt so satisfying beating them with strength build, but all the magic swordsman build looks so cool that I was tempted to go for the Sword of Night and Flame build. I did manage to defeat the boss easier, but it just doesn't feel the same. Was thinking to respec to a simpler build after I find a weapon that I like.
@@drakuro6618 after that I did play a little with magic, but ultimately I was nah I have to finish the game with strength. But now I have my new character so the possibilities are limitless!!!
This is actual Guts gameplay, getting hit and receiving damage unlike some of the vids I've seen where they dodge every animation. Hats off to you fren
Malenia is unironically the most beautiful boss I've ever encountered. But for what she did to my boy Radahn and the land, she must fall... The plauge will be halted at the source.
i JUST defeated malenia earlier today with the guts build running 99 strength, heavy and lion's claw after 3 days, 5-6 hours worth of tries each and contemplating about using mimic tear every time, i can finally call myself along with the fellow aspiring greatsword guts builders, a true guts and aside from that, i honestly wish i saw this video sooner so i could cut the amount of time this fight took in half, and because most videos I saw trying to beat Malenia were people with dex/bleed builds, sorcery, etc. and very few strength builds and even less colossal sword builds. i would like to suggest the night's cavalry set over the blaidd set, but keeping the wolf mask, as i found this set much more aesthetically pleasing and accurate to the manga; amazing video regardless, a true display of dark souls mastery
I got here with my strenght build that had an ash of war that gave electric damage. I honestly thought it was imposible to win with that, so I respec into a DEX build and also struggled like crazy lol. Glad to see Guts the GOAT showing his skill against this hellish of a boss. Gg!
Gotta hand it to him, I did a guts build on my first play through. Didn't use summons all the way till Horah Loux. Malenia wrecked my ass so hard I had no choice but to mimic tear summon. Guess I failed but at least I kept my sanity. People don't understand how insanely difficult this fight is for pure strength builds with no summons.
Of course! Vigor: 40 Mind: 20 Endurance: 35 Strength: 55 Dexterity: 40 Intelligence: 15 Faith: 10 Luck: 7 I leveled DEX just because it fits Guts as a character given how incredibly skilled he is not just with the Dragonslayer but also with knives, his flamethrower and crossbow 😊
@@bunyArtorias Now that is a way to recognize devoted fan :D Yeah, Guts is not pure strength, but more of a Quality figther in Souls terms. He's incredibly proficient with so many weapons and can be incredibly fast. It's a pity that people see Dragonslayer and instantly jump to big slow brute
As a first time souls player I first started off this game with dex samurai build, then halfway I discovered UGS and I know what to do, looking up a Guts build on yt and started to experiment w/ my build, seeing gameplay hypes me up for what I can do. And I applaud you for inspiring me to go full bonk. With that said, what's your talisman in this build? Mine's using starscourge heirloom, radagon's soreseal, erdtree's favor and great-jar's arsenal.
No bullshit magic, no ashes, no op weapons, just pure determination, hatred and practice Well done brother, I fought this wench 6 hours straight, managed to consistently get to her last quarter on 2nd phase, tomorrow she will be my bitch
Oh she absolutely wasn't passive, haha- Malenia absolutely destroyed me in every attempt prior to this one so I decided to play it really aggressively and keep her at bay. I've pretty much always stuck to her on a 2-3 meter distance unless I knew that she was gonna hit me with the flurry attack. The posture breaks i pulled off in her second phase really helped. It may take a while but I'm sure you can do this! 😄
This boss fights is both one of the best and one of the worst i've ever had in a game. Such an awesome boss fight but so much damage if I mess up the timing.
I like how her horizontal slashes straight up missed a couple times because your weapon art had you bent over. At the same time, there was one instance where you clearly missed but it counted as a hit because her body outpaced her hit box lol.
I got the lion claw last night and it is so satisfying slamming someone into the ground with it, I don't think Guts had Bloodhound step, but you seemed to use it only once :P Cool to see
No incantations no mimic tear this is the real guts

In my case, my first playthrough was me listening to Indra and signs, and smashing every thing on my way to late game and get every thing...
Forces starts playing

I leveled DEX just because it fits Guts as a character given how incredibly skilled he is not just with the Dragonslayer but also with knives, his flamethrower and crossbow 😊
@@bunyArtorias tysm!!
@@bunyArtorias Now that is a way to recognize devoted fan :D Yeah, Guts is not pure strength, but more of a Quality figther in Souls terms. He's incredibly proficient with so many weapons and can be incredibly fast. It's a pity that people see Dragonslayer and instantly jump to big slow brute
@@bunyArtorias what is the affinity of your greatsword? is it standard?
@@Aurilion44 agreed
insane read on the malenia combo. Amazing! heres a like and a sub :>
Dude, he even does the front flip attack!
As a first time souls player I first started off this game with dex samurai build, then halfway I discovered UGS and I know what to do, looking up a Guts build on yt and started to experiment w/ my build, seeing gameplay hypes me up for what I can do. And I applaud you for inspiring me to go full bonk.
With that said, what's your talisman in this build? Mine's using starscourge heirloom, radagon's soreseal, erdtree's favor and great-jar's arsenal.
No bullshit magic, no ashes, no op weapons, just pure determination, hatred and practice
Well done brother, I fought this wench 6 hours straight, managed to consistently get to her last quarter on 2nd phase, tomorrow she will be my bitch
good luck dude
Good luck don’t let up
Yeah, you got this! Don't stop struggling 😄

Said and done gentlemen
Very nice this is one of the better runs I've seen
A true master
the lotus of the leaf village blooms twice beach!
Damn, why is your Melania so passive. My Melania goes from running immediate hyper waterfowl then becomes a godskin apostle on crack.
Oh she absolutely wasn't passive, haha- Malenia absolutely destroyed me in every attempt prior to this one so I decided to play it really aggressively and keep her at bay. I've pretty much always stuck to her on a 2-3 meter distance unless I knew that she was gonna hit me with the flurry attack. The posture breaks i pulled off in her second phase really helped. It may take a while but I'm sure you can do this! 😄
@@bunyArtorias I used op moonviel and bloodhound dodge to kill her, I feel cheap.
No blood build, no magic, no help, just Guts, love it 👍
Was expecting a cannon at the end 😆
This boss fights is both one of the best and one of the worst i've ever had in a game.
Such an awesome boss fight but so much damage if I mess up the timing.
this is probably a normal morning for guts
I like how her horizontal slashes straight up missed a couple times because your weapon art had you bent over. At the same time, there was one instance where you clearly missed but it counted as a hit because her body outpaced her hit box lol.
All that physical raw damage is definitely Guts’ style. Great 👍🏾 video. He’s ready to take on Griffith
Damn chapter 365 is a banger
LOL, I can see you are so desperate to use the throwing knife, I know that feeling.
Closest we’ll get to guts vs Griffith
Should have edited forces over the audio.
Even the voice matches
You certainly put your grasses on.
I got the lion claw last night and it is so satisfying slamming someone into the ground with it, I don't think Guts had Bloodhound step, but you seemed to use it only once :P Cool to see
Cripple Fight!!! (Both Guts and Malenia have prothetic arms XD)
