Malenia vs Impaling Thrust + Black Flame Ritual [Elden Ring RL1, No weapon upgrades]

Finally! This was the last boss of RL1 +0. If you ever go for a stance break build against Malenia, Black Flame Ritual is just insane.
I usually go very aggressive at the start of phase one, because even if I get hit it's worth it if it means I get the stance breaks faster. This time I managed to hit Malenia during all her hyperarmor attacks and that first stance breaks just refused to land. Often phase one looks a lot better than this one, to be honest.
Phase two is where the fight starts for me, and as you can probably tell I still haven't figured it out well. Not only is it trickier to get stance breaks, you also have to manage stamina more carefully and also find breaks to drink and pop starlight shards.
Happy to get the win, even if this wasn't the most impressive attempt, it just got the right RNG.
