Definitely agree. For me it’s the waiting game that makes Placi a lot harder. I can be a very patient person but not when it comes to waiting for this guy to stop teleporting all over the place haha Malenia is a fast fight so I don’t mind dying when she has 2hp left but dying when Placidusax has 2hp left means at least 10 minutes wasted…
Same yeah, Malenia is a fast paced fight and you’re not waiting around for her to just do a favorable attack (most of the time, unless she’s just mean in phase 2) And Placi just takes forever even with the best builds (serpent hunter, rot and poison, freeze, it’s still at least a 7 minute fight almost always)
To be fully honest, I love this guy for the same reason I hate him. He’s an asshole, uncooperative, does whatever he wants, and requires extremely precise dodging on most of his attacks. He’s not a fair fight even with 50 health. But he feels satisfying as hell to get down once you learn his ins and outs. Every victory feels earned, through blood, sweat and tears. I lost that feeling with Malenia shortly after I beat her on level one. lol
Hard to lose when you have infinite access to heals and OP damage both. 😂 They actually buffed it to where it heals on hit rather when when you kill an enemy. As if it wasn’t overpowered enough the way it was. lol
@@crimsonearth367 wait that’s crazy I haven’t played my BB build in a while cause I knew I needed to try something more interesting, I guess that’ll be in my back pocket if the DLC gets to hard 😂
With 600 hours in both, Malenia is a pushover once you learn the one attack that makes her hard. Placi retains his difficulty after all those hours, because he’s unpredictable and still requires extremely tight timing. People just don’t see it cuz they tank through everything having 40+ health. Go at it with less than 20 health and thoroughly learn both fights, Malenia is a way shorter fight and is straight up easier to dodge, with the exception of the overrated waterfowl. Lmao
Feel free to watch my tutorial on her though, or the no hit fight. I’ll link them here: th-cam.com/video/k_LGZYxOsLQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V_vz2W823pJlPwlt th-cam.com/video/bJDs_0ASE8Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=A94FYMM-ZnkK3eCl
After no hitting both bosses, Placi is a lot harder to do it consistently. Players just get too greedy when it comes to Malenia. They don’t know how to respect her aggression, heal at bad times, go for punishes when her waterfowl isn’t on cooldown (especially Ash of Wars and jump attacks that leave you wide open) Then they just straight up get combo’d to death from not baiting out the waterfowl (just watch the tutorial for an elaboration)
But as for Placidusax, A) has a lot more health B) Weird, WEIRD hit boxes that require extremely precise timing C) His teleport spawns, wherever the hell it spawns, somewhere off in the sky. It’s never consistent. D) WHEN he finally teleports, it’s a near frame perfect dodge or it does 75% of your health with 40 vigor E) He has like 3 versions of his fire attack that all look identical at first, but it either goes way in front of him, all around him, or it chases you as you try to run. Life’s a box of chocolates! F) His big wind up AoE covers like 1/4th of the arena and if he uses it while you’re in the middle of attacking, you’re getting hit and probably one shot. Just have to know it’s coming. And finally G) the Laser attack which will still one shot you with 40 health, AND it goes for a good 10 seconds, with him just going insane, turning the entire arena into a hit box. And your only safe option is getting to the side of him, AFTER HE TELEPORTS HALFWAY ACROSS THE MAP, all the while hoping it doesn’t tag you trying to get to the safe spot.

Sorry blasphemous blade called and said “why not play the game on easy mode” you could say I was swindled but boy was BB right 😂
BB wrecks Malenia just as hard lol

No. Malenia is harder trust me😭
