วีดีโอ

I’ve watched so many guides, nothing helps. Lvl 154 and can barely get out of phase 1. Am I terrible at gaming?

Thank you Brodie

if you combine the waterfowl with the hp gain she gets from landing attacks it makes her the hardest boss in the game. ive beat every boss in elden ring without summons including the dlc and prime radahn but still havent been able to get past halfway through her second phase. i appreciate you doing an actual strategy guide and a breakdown of her moveset rather than a cheese guide.

I play the game without sound… look for sparks

no guide will help you solo malenia except experience, some attacks are not avoidable from reaction and the input delay of rolls are too slow to react to malenia's input reading, something this guide doesnt tell you is that malenia can read when you are going to heal, because since you are not inhuman like these sweatards, you are going to get hit 100%, the important thing is to know when to heal and what to expect, you can heal by running away from fase 1 malenia, she wont follow you and healing away from her is safe on second fase the only windows to heal are the windows you would use to attack, choose wisely, never trade attacks because she heals from any damage, dont use slow charged attacks because you will get trapped inside the waterfowl dance, waterfowl dance has 15 seconds of cooldown, try to bait her into do it with throwing knifes when you feel she is about to do it, not everyone is using broken bleed builds, so use only jump attacks to punish her, jump attacks will stagger her always and deal a lot of damage, can be used while running and you can roll instantly after landing, finally you would like to roll backwards everytime malenia is about to do any attack, except the flurry attack which is delayed, but always roll backwards nontheless, on the water fowl dance the easiest and safest way to avoid is by running backwards and jump on the long first attack, then roll forward through the second, the stay still on the last attack, you will get 1 hit but will be easier than trying to avoid and get catch inside the final attack, besides you can block that single damage for minimal hp loss.

i have been fighting her for 4 days. I'm in shambles. and thank you for this video. i'll be back here when i finally defeat her

Ancient death rancor + mimic shorten your vid by 17 min , sorry .

She was hard 32 attempts. Of course I knew how to go into the fight. But I think the hardest enemy I’ve ever dealt with in 40 years of gaming is the farting pig in odyssey assassins creed

Thank you man, still helping a year later 😂

just imagine her having a runback like lud and zallen🤣🤮

Make a magic build one too please

Great

A year later, but Thank you! I really needed that tip about circling around her in the second phase.

I feel like you yada yada’d through the water fowl

I used elden stars and the sword of night and flame. Throw out elden stars n then time the magic beam right anf you can knock her down with is

A really excellent video and the only one (of the many I've watched today) that I would actually call a guide. In most other videos you just see a fight where someone is commenting what he just did - and the "did" is the critical part about it. Because when they tell you what just happened, it's already over and you've missed it. Your video is so much better because you actually took the effort to edit it and comment on things before they happen, you show isolated scenes of the various moves, you show them in slow mo and give tips about weapons etc... SO MUCH BETTER!! I can't believe this got only a few thousand views and you're at less than 200 subscribers, you should have got 10K subscribers just for this video alone. Another proof that quality doesn't count on TH-cam...

After 3 days of figuring out how to beat her, I won. I used rivers of blood, also called 2 cooperatives, and kept my distance constantly spamming with 'swarm the flies' incantation. Just be careful because the NPC will try to get you occasionally.

Im give up on beating her

Is there a specific firmware for 3rd party controllers to work on the switch like the MadCatz fightpad?

You beat her with 10 vigor. I had 70 vigor and it was still difficult! 😂😂

Dude I'm like at level 200 thirty something and I still can't beat this bitch lmao. On one occasion, I had her down to where one little attack of anything would have killed her and or course I didn't do it in time and I died and I screamed all kinda of obscenities and that was the last time I played it about 5 or 6 months ago.

Bro that vigor is screaming for attention

Great guide! Thank you!

Damm you fucked her ass with Ease.....

Great video! Really well done.

hp ? stamina special she is the best . overpower cant beat her . IM LEVEL 175 IM CRYING

The first time I fought her I was around lvl 200 so it took me like 45 minutes to kill her

1000% deserves a like and sub thank you

this was exactly how i needed this presented. thanks a lot. I been rocking a sorc build and trying to play with different stuff. i see videos of people stun locking her and i’m envious. i don’t want to respec to win the fight and think this was what i needed to see

Highly, highly arguable that Malenia is essentially a "repurposed" Tomoe from Sekiro.

"Patience is Key" And that's why I suck at this boss. I cannot drop my extremely aggressive playstyle no matter how hard I try, no matter what build I do. This boss was specifically designed to punish players with my playstyle. I don't play the "sit and wait for my opening" game, I prefer the "make my opening" game. Maybe that's why I've had such a hard time even with dex/arcane builds. Easiest time I had was with a pyromancer that I basically had Blasphemous Blade and Giantsflame on, with a Magma Blade sidearm which not only staggers but obliterates poise. THAT build I could actually bully her a bit. Felt reeeeeaally good.

The length of my thrust nev-, err, sorry...

how to kill Malenia: step 1: use Flame of the Redmanes step 2: there's no step 2, just enjoy victory

Thanku so much man!

Hyper armor attacks means infinite poise. Armored attacks means some poise.

Tell people how to connect the devices.

I legit just beat her! So chuffed right now! Thanks for the tips dude. Mage build here! Soooooo excited haha, the adrenaline of watching her die is one of a kind hahah. She's Hella fast

that was so use full! !

you earned my subscription. straightforward, no gimmicks and reasonable side notes make this video great.

nice tuto bro, that solved!

WE NEEEED CHEEEAAATSSS!!!!!! This game needs a cheat menu. One hit kills, god mode etc. Too damn hard. Been trying to beat Rennala for 22hrs and counting...sigh. I'm level 122 and it means NOTHING! Not in this game, leveling does NOTHING! Just enables you to watch a larger health bar get eliminated in one blast...instead of a short one.

Really great guide and the video looks so professional! Great job!

Love it. Great info and explanations. Hope you do more of these.

There is about 4 million guides on TH-cam but NOTHING get even close to this video. This is work of genius and The most acurate and complete guide on Souls boss I ever seen. And I play FromSoft games since King's Field. Sir I appreciate your Work.

I’ve beat this bitch 10 times by now, but still fear her!

I beat her recently with double halberd, heavy knight. North of 100 deaths, 5 hours, lv 150.

Wait what? Malenia is really the Blade of Miquella? I didnt know

Thank You so much, this video was honestly the best guide that Ive seen on this fight. You really spread out the information and went in depth while teaching it in a digestible way. Definitely will stick around if you make more videos, this was top tier content. For some reason I decided to fight Malenia for the first time at lvl1, and it was pure torture, took me 703 attempts💀 but finally got it. The 2nd phase of the fight was just really intimidating and all her moves looked completely different from phase 1 to me, but your vid helped me see what she was actually doing. I put the vid on my account, the 2nd phase that I got was just super lucky with what moves she chose to do. Thanks again you shaved off what I imagine would have been countless more hours...

to echo what others are saying: it's criminal how underseen this video is. On top of that, as a brand new editor, I'm going to be very gratefully stealing some of the excellent cuts and compositions on display here. 11/10
