GG. This is one of those fights where I know what to do and how to dodge everything, then I get in there and my brain turns to soup and my thumbs turn to noodles.
She was easy for me. I just look up stuff on google and then I was able to beat her on my second try, I like to think of it as a cheat code and break it down However I find that very unenjoyable which is why I don't really like Elden ring. The combat is just too wacky and clunky For me And the exploration isn't anything special either. Nor the graphics maybe I'm missing something But I don't really see anything unique about Elden ring that Other games have already done much better. A decent game ig. It's not worth your time to beat malenia If you haven't already beaten her ofc
@@forgotten4146 If you looked up stuff on google for everything then it'd makes sense you don't like the game. Imo that is the worst way to play the game
Oh boy now I have my next study resource. Your crazy solo adventures are always amazing and have actually helped me through a few situations in these games
Great fight Eso, and I really appreciated the accompanying text to describe the difficulty. Glad she lived up to the hype. For a mere mortal like myself, I found her to be the least favorite boss. Glad she brought you the challenge you hoped for regardless.
I'm still trying to beat her, without gimics or summons. Turns out my build is very similar and I'm basically trying the unsheathe her to death like a pro samurai swordman. And heres you with a fraction of the health I have and not even needing it. Well played Sir.
i just came from beating her and after spending all day with her, i knew there were people who not only defeated her but did it without suffereing any damage. That is too much for me jajaj great congrats !!
Not to discredit the fight, but not exactly that hard when hes doing 10% of her hp per hit. Add the fact that she didnt use the move where sprites fly out at you the whole of the battle “the most annoying to completely dodge”, & the wow factor disintegrates somewhat.
Malenia is the most beautiful boss fight ever. Can't play the game because of the "git gud" factor, but once in a while I just watch this fight because it is beauty itself. Malenia. Might even name my kid after her (drunken texting that might come true
I also went into this fight thinking she was a tad overhyped. I beat her in under 20 attempts, but it came right down to the wire on a number of occasions. Around about my 12th run, I could practically do all of phase 1 hitless, but I couldn't for the life of me pin down Waterfowl Dance. I was only able to finish her off by accepting the health tax and focusing on countering literally everything else as close to perfectly as I could manage. Malenia deserves her reputation. She would likely be my favorite boss in any Soulslike game if I didn't feel quite so helpless once the whirlwind of death starts barreling at me.
20 attempts ?? you are very good ... or your build is op ... im level 175 using no spell no magic no summon heavy weapon i cant do it over 20 hours in the fight . i sck 🍆
Level 160, Morgott's sword, Crucible Tree armor, Dragoncrest Greatshield talisman, a bunch of HP boosting talismans, and Morgott's great rune. I seriously just made myself as tanky as possible so that I'd have more room to experiment. Once I knew her moveset, I started playing a bit more aggressively to minimize the chances of her throwing one too many waterfowl dances my way. My execution in phase 2 could do with a bit more polish overall, but that's what NG+ is for I suppose.
I can only imagine the frustration of getting these right. Just imagine putting the boss to like 5 health only to get poked before the killing blow. I would literally be pulling my hair out over that.
I was at odds for a long time with Malenia, because I'm not used to seeing themes I like being brought to light in a character, but Malenia is definitely a good character.
Was inspired by you to use no spells, buffs, physick, overpowered ashes of war...... took like 100 tries (I'm bad) but killed her with an uchigatana and it was the most satisfying thing I've done in the game so far...... great no-hit run keep up the great gaming!!!!
7:25 One of the coolest (and most intimidating) shots I've ever seen was dodging that final attack by an inch and seeing this giant rotten lady, welding a giant katana, bursting towards me like a lightning bolt and coming to a halt, taking up half my screen (except the lightning bolt was a semi truck going from 120 to 0 in a second)
Genuinely great job dude! But i love when people add no parry as if it doesn't take tons of practice to get the timings. Not to mention its 3 parrys to get a single stagger on this boss
I think it’s beachside a lot of people are looking for/like to see fights where people are dodging attack patterns. It obviously takes skill to parry, but you also don’t need to learn some attacks if you just parry them
Amazing fight eso, this is my first souls game and I just beat malenia last night thanks to you. Few days ago got the unsheathed ash of war ur using, threw all my armour off so I could dodge with light load, no summons and finally finished the job. I couldn’t have dont it without you. Now I can return to normal life, as an Elden lord
@@davidtecco6594 Elden ring was my first souls game but out of the bosses she was my most difficult one and eventually helped with my timing and parrying better. when I finally got Sekiro few months back I only lost once or twice, couple bosses I beat on my first try
The amount of rage Malenia must be going through is astronomical cause she didnt get to touch you not one time during her first fight and turn up mode.
Very polite of her to never use Waterfowl Dance on you after hitting her. There are several moments here you could have died if you hadn't gotten good RNG.
What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge Waterfowl Dance? Esoterickk : No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.
Glad to see this ash of war is still as good dmg as it was year ago (with alexander talisman and RTSR, blue dancer). I'm getting a feeling it's the best weapon to fight her after trying almost everything else. Even tho i'm not a katana-fan, this video convinced me it's surely worth trying to use them. Thx very much.
On average waterfowl dance will trigger once on 1st phase and once on 2nd phase. If you are lucky, waterfowl can occur 3x on phase 1, and she also rarely do waterfowl as first move on 2nd phase, after the bloom attack of course. Also frost pots can help interrupt the waterfowl but will need to get used to timing as pots can also pass thru her some times. As long as she is up on the air, throw the pots immediately. This is why i kept it at 1st quick tool bar slot.
After years of souls games, this is the ultimate test for all dodge-rollers out there...you can leave your shield at home! Contrary to what I had expected, I beat Malenia the first day. It took only 35 tries and about 2 hours, but it sure was tough and I probably wouldn't have made it without my mimic tear ashes in the second phase.
Wow franchement t'es trop fort mec. Quand on te regarde le faire ça a l'air si facile mais une fois que l'on essaye nous même ont se rend compte que c'est beaucoup plus dur que prévu
I like the fact that using a summons actually hurts you if not done correctly. But I wish the game let you have quickstep as an option at any time in place of left hand shield or arms grace…

You have been my "idol" for gaming for many many years. You have inspired me to do "challenges" in Destiny ever since you started making videos for the first game. I would check your channel and be like "If he can do it, I can do it". And that inspiration has continued for many other games I play. It even influenced how I make my own (rare) videos on YT. That's it. I just wanted to say that. Thank you, you make a difference even though you might not know it.
I lost to her alot of times and barely beat her today.. it was a pleasure to watch this video. What the heck is coming out of her sword when it smashes down to the ground? Miniature rot bombs?
This looks easier than trying to parry her tbh. I've been trying it tonight and I seem to get caught in her quick attacks or the parry hitbox for the spinning attack whiffs. Also looks much easier to dodge waterfowl when you have distance. Gonna try this way tomorrow cause several of her other attacks are super easy to punish anyway.
Good god this is impressive. Im at 10hrs as of writing this, over 1000 attempts, still havent gotten her past 50% hp in second phase, I just end up running out of stamina, or she uses WFD when im standing right under her. Im just sick of the fight now, it hasnt been enjoyably for a long time.

I swear, Malenia legit goes into easy mode with other people. But when I play, she goes into God mode spamming waterfowl dance.🤦🏻♂️
you are probably too far away, when you are far away she likes to use it more.
