Can Maliketh Defeat ALL Demigods and Gods Back to Back? - Elden Ring

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ต.ค. 2024
  • In this elden ring video I'm testing whether the boss called Maliketh, the black blade can defeat all demigods and gods one after the other.
    To make this test more challenging instead of leaving his boss fight with 2 distinct phases I've merged the stats of both phases and decided to keep his 2nd phase form from the beginning. After the merging he has 21k health, 200 poise and tier 17 instead of tier 15 like he normally would.
    According to the elden ring lore, Maliketh, the Black Blade was the half-brother and sworn shadow of Queen Marika and guardian of the Rune of Death. Desiring a world without Destined Death, Marika took the Rune of Death from the Elden Ring and charged Maliketh with protecting it. Maliketh's blade was then imbued with the power of the rune, making him a fearsome foe for any who would challenge Marika's order. After the night of the black knives, In his shame, Maliketh bound his blade within his own flesh, so that none could ever steal the power of death again.

      Malekith has doubled hp and poise in this video btw.
      Normally, Malekith only has around 10k hp total (P1 + P2).
      Whereas in this, he has 21k hp, and not to mention he also starts off in P2 for this video.

    Bit of a side topic, was Marika actually ever in the possession of the rune of death? I thought the rune was originally held by the Dusk-eyed Queen before she was defeated by Maliketh. If Marika gave him the rune straight up I feel like it’d be redundant to defeat the queen considering she is no longer a threat to the golden order.
    Edit: After looking at the wiki, Enia seems to confirm that it was “plucked from the golden order upon its creation.” Which raises another interesting point, it seems like the Godskin Queen is capable of channeling death despite not being in possession of the rune.

    • @mannytprimeministerofthemanate
      @mannytprimeministerofthemanate ปีที่แล้ว +17

      From what I understand in the lore the Dusk eyed Queen was an empirian, like ranni and miquella, and challenged Marika to establish her own order. She had power of the rune of death, and as such was the only one capable of killing gods. However she was defeated by malekith. Afterwards Marika removed the rune of death from the ER and sealed it in malekith who would wield it as his weapon, acting as Marika’s executioner.

    • @sebastianestrada3697
      @sebastianestrada3697 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@mannytprimeministerofthemanate Ahh, that makes sense that it'd be sealed after her defeat then. If that is so, then it seems like the Gloam-eyed Queen was indeed capable of channeling death through her blackflames despite not actually being in physical possession of the rune of death as that was in the elden ring at the time. I can see why she was such a threat to Marika's order much more now. I really hope we get to see more on destined death and its past in the DLC.

    • @maniacalmurderer4123
      @maniacalmurderer4123 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The queen was defeated long ago, maliketh stole the rune and sealed it within his blade. The flame still exists and can be channeled, yes, but it can no longer kill a god meaning Marika cannot die.
      The godskins have been in the lands between longer then erdtree btw

    • @howarddewing6617
      @howarddewing6617 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The gloam eyed queen channeled it from the ring itself (like the player casting elden stars, magic is easy for anyone to channel from the elden ring), marika then removed it from the ring and turned it into a sword which she gave to maliketh(for a multitude of reasons).
      On the night of the black knives, ranni and the assassins broke his sword and infused shards of it into the black knives.
      The assassins pumped a lot of the rune into Godwyn when they half-killed him, allowing it to sprout as deathroot once he fused with the roots of the erdtree.
      After his sword was partially broken, maliketh fused the rest of his sword with himself so that no one could ever take any more of it. He then became Gurranq and started consuming deathroot in hopes to one day make the rune whole again.

    I fight Malekith as a summon all the time. I've probably fought him 200+ times. Everyone thinks the flurry attack is the most dangerous, but out of all of his moves, the one that I see killing the most players by far is the spinning slash he does after throwing three projectiles at you. Nobody expects it, and the dodge timing is fairly tight. It also one shots up to about 50 vigor, and leaves you with almost nothing in your health bar even if you do survive.

    To specify what effect "merging his two phases" has compared to his lore-accurate version, here he has double his canon health and nearly triple his canon poise -- hence why he could beat Malenia, who is normally too tanky for him, and why he never got stance-broken once despite being normally notoriously glass-jawed.

    Reasons why Maliketh is a True Legendary Warrior (MY OPINIONS ONLY NO CLAIMS):
    - He is So agile, huge and wields a Great Sword single handedly and unleashes Death Slashes while in mid air.
    - Since he has Death In his Blade literally, meaning he can theoretically slay a God with his Blade alone (which brings continues burning status, and permenatly decreases full health)
    - He Defeated the Gloam Eyed Queen (which she is an Emperyean while he is an Emperyean's Shadow).
    - And Finally even though he knew he was betrayed by his Half Sister, he still stood loyal to his Duties given by her to protect destined death. For the Mistake she had made.
