              Depends on what though. If she's having her period spamming combos you might eat her triple swipe and you'll lose the trade. I also hate being that close because if she waterfowls I'm just dead. I know there's a way to dodge it point blank but it's beyond my skill level to do it without bloodhound when in melee.

                Maybe I'm getting old but I'm not fast enough to fish out the pot in time. I should learn to use flasks on the toggle items so that I'd have that free. I've beaten her twice with the same character, using a claymore, but I needed bloodhound step both times. Can't even make me feel bad about it, this b***h's patterns are basically if you gave the player a weapon art that combines Lions Claw and Bloodhound step and wild strikes and prayerful strike into a single ash of war.

                Maybe you'll be able to make it in time knowing when she casts it. Tip: waterfowl gets queued at first phase at around 50-70% HP, and as it's in queue, she tries to distance herself from you, then slowly walks towards you. When that happens, there are 3 triggers to start off waterfowl:
                - she gets hit (even if she didn't back away from you, so be careful with hits around that HP)
                - you lock yourself into any animation at middleclose distance
                - you come too close to her
                Second waterfowl at phase 1 will trigger at about 20% HP given that she HEALED to this HP level, not got damaged OR if you are taking too long to finish her off BUT do not rush her at that point, as she gets both poise and aggression increased upon reaching low HP.
                Also if you're using jump attacks it is necessary to release sprint button before jumping to prevent her from interrupting your jump attack
                >Bloodhound step
                Usable to dodge waterfowl and other cancer move at phase 2, but DO NOT rely on it for distancing yourself from her as she puts invisible walls that bloodhound can't pass through during some moves

                I didn't get to figure out when or why this shit happens, just figured out that it does. Use Raptor's Mist (or something like that) instead, it's amazing tool to counter enemies with big frick off jump attacks, not on Malenia though, since the only moves you can use it on are easily dodgeable ones that leave her open afterwards anyway.

                they changed her waterfowl probability; it use to only be twice in the first phase

                she can do it unlimited now, she can even go from water fowl to water fowl now

                Spent about 80 tries on 1.06 and about 60 on 1.08.1, had only seen second waterfowl on phase 1 when I was too slow at kicking her ass.

                are you me, i was having the same issue, i was getting to close and spamming the weapon art and getting caught in water fowl ; this guid helped me

                She won't do her water fowl dance, the weapon art, until shes at about 75% health. So you can be aggressive and just keep attacking and dodging the charged attacks; the stab and downward slam.

                When she's close to that 75%, make sure you're a bit away from her, or start running directly away from her when she's in the air, so you miss the first jump in water fowl. The second jump you'll want to roll into her. The third jump you roll and walk away from her. It's going to take some practice to figure that out, but once you do it really clicks.

                The problem in the first phase is that it's hard to tell when she's going to fowl again because she's so passive at times in that phase. What I learned is that in the first phase she'll go between two states; hyper aggressive in which she runs at you and is attacking, and passive in which you can run all the way to the other side of the arena and she'll walk towards you.

                It's vital to be able to tell what state she's in, if she's in the passive state she's planning to do her dance. So if you see her being passive, run far away and hit her with something ranged( like a jump attack with a bow) As soon as that ranged attack hits, she'll pop right into the air. If you are far enough you don't have to worry about the first two jumps, you'll just have to roll the last one and walk away; or just take the hits.

                The first one is pretty regular but the later ones that come out seemingly at random generally frick me. Despite fighting her like 60 times across two kills, I still can't even consistently dodge her attacks in general, much less waterfowl, unless I've peaked during the current playthrough. The first time I got good at most of the timings but replaying months later made me forget everything because she's just so goddamn stringent and every mistake costs you progress in what is already a long fight. I am well aware that people can do crazy shit like beat her at sl 1 naked club only but I still think she's a shit fight that's not even satisfying to beat.

        that got me mad quite a few times, but I'll admit that it was a cool feature too

        I don't think it's a bad mechanic, if a boss hits you and sees further openings then they go for it. That seems natural. In some of the earlier games a boss typically wouldn't react any differently whether it hit you or not.

          It's as half-assed as boss getting increased poise at low hp. It's good that boss' behavior changes, yes, but it's not supposed to stand out that much. All excitement off bossfight falls apart the moment you realise there's no 'intelligence' in that boss, just a few simple scripts and input read and it sucks.

What I was saying is that I don't think the mechanic itself is bad, since mid-combat changes in behavior isn't inherently a shitty idea. It could be tuned up, I don't think the whole thing should be tossed out because it didn't turn out so well.

    How can any boss be harder than Malenia? Especially a glass cannon like Malekith.
    He has barely any health, jumpable sweeps, and in general plenty of consistent openings. On top of that his dodge timings are lenient and it's just a matter of knowing his patterns.

    Meanwhile Malenia has the tightest dodge timings in the entire series, a heavy tendency to string together combos without openings, enormous health, self healing, infinite poise when she wants it, which extends to nullifying posture break, hitstun cancel, nigh immunity to any projectile without strong tracking or invisibility, and waterfowl dance on top of all that, which is pure unfiltered asscancer to deal with as a melee build. She's fricking awful to learn to where your best bet is to outbuild her not play her dumb game.

    Maliketh is probably one of the better designed bosses in the game. You can even strafe a good number of his attacks, and he has smart blind spots that you have to discover that allow good attack opportunities. He's good, his flippy air-jump attack notwithstanding.
    It's a real shame he comes sandwiched between the absolute worst parts of the game, boss-wise. He's flanked by the absolute worst frickers that FromSoft has ever designed.

        Godskin Duo is just two disparate bosses mashed into one. No real design thought put into it at all. It's such a clusterfrick if you don't sleep one of them, and then it's just the solo boss. Boring.

        They made duo bosses like Godskin Duo unable to attack you at the same time. It's a joke. If you actually stop attacking and just observe them you'll see them trade off with each other. I beat the Godskin Duo first try, no weapon arts, and I didn't even find it particularly difficult.

            That's always been in the game. It's not entirely obvious with faster bosses but look at the Crucible Knights duo. They're programmed to not attack you at the same time. If you just watch one but not the other, you'll see it attacks and then pauses and waits, bizarrely, for its partner to attack you as well. The solo versions of any of these bosses do not behave like that.

              Jumping was a mistake. Jump attacks are so efficient, it just mogs most of the rest of the weapon movesets. God damn, ER combat is so fricking boring.

                Or it would be if everyone and their mom hadnt learned about their weakness to sleep grenades.

                >his roll
                While I don't disagree that it's fricking stupid-looking and shouldn't be in the game, the trick is to either strafe him if you have him orbiting at a proper distance, or roll directly through it, head-on. This is even easier with Quickstep or BhS, of course.

                At least for the heavier weapons, jump attacks are no longer the sole option due to buffs the rest of their moveset got. But goddamn was it fricked upon release. You were wasting your time using anything except jump attack and maybe the UGS crouch poke. Jump l2 was the only thing that mattered, because the rest of the moveset hadn't yet been given extra speed/poise damage and 2 handing seemed obsolete.

                Yeah. I wish more weapons had maneuverability options, like a rapier attacking while stepping to the side or something. Or like Bloody Helice's weapon art.

                Yeah, you can avoid it well enough. Get it stuck on geometry, outpace its turn radius, fricking whatever you want but the fact that you can do this shit and it continues for at least thirty seconds and theres no way to interrupt it is gay and aids. imo worse than waterfowl, which is just stupidly tight in its requirements.

      From what I've seen it has some of the biggest personal assessments of boss difficulty in the series. Such a wide range of "no this boss is easy, THAT boss is hard" from different people. I first tried Nameless King, which people said gave them trouble, but needed 6 attempts and a switch from UGS to GS to beat the twin princes.

      Twin Gargoyles from 1 still have the record for the most attempts it took me to ever beat a boss however, as it was my first game.

        I've played dex in every souls game and have never once equipped a shield, so my reaction times are really good when it comes to rolling. Malenia was incredibly easy for me to read.

        Alternatively, force me to use a shield and I would fail every single attempt at a parry.

    I found Malenia much harder than him. But he SHOULD have been the hardest boss in the game, honestly. He was essentially the climax for me. You've been traveling north the whole game and then you finally reach him at the end. Most games would have ended right there, with Farum Azula essentially being the epilogue to the game, but regardless Maliketh is definitely the climax.

    How is using anything in the game "unfair"? And where do you spergs draw the line? I used a level 10 Eleonora's Poleblade with talismans Millicent's Prosthesis, Winged Sword Insignia, Green Turtle Talisman, and Radagon's Soreseal. Then I drank a Physick made with Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear and Thorny Cracked Tear, and then I cast Golden Vow and Flame, Grant me Strength with an activated Godrick's Great Rune. I absolutely melted Maliketh.

    You pedantic spergs.

    Is using a twin blade "not fair and square"? Perhaps I should only use a single blade, such as a colossal great sword? No, can't be colossal, right? Nooo. How about a katana? Nooo, builds up bleed too fast. How about a simple short sword then? Can I apply ashes to it? Can I use complementary talismans? Am I allowed to dodge? Can I dodge many, many times or is there a cap on the number of dodges allowed?

    You fussy spergs.

    People play however they want to, however they need to. Using whatever the game offers you to its fullest extent isn't cheating. It's creative and resourceful gameplay. Let's be honest here. You spegs have neither the skill nor the IQ to pull it off, so you want to gimp the rest of the players who don't struggle like you do. You are being left behind and that makes you whine like the manchild you are. So, you lash out at those who are passing you by. My advice to you -- Pipe down, stop playing the victim, stop insisting that other people must play the way you play as limited by your feeble skill and IQ, and, oh yeah, GIT GUD YOU gayIT.

      Maliketh has a weird enrage moveset if you're too far from him that will make him spam moves at you endlessly in both phases. It's not RNG because you can change his behavior by just standing in front of his face and rolling foward endlessly. The most annoyin thing about maliketh is that he rubberbands away from the player alot which sets off his enrage moveset.

      This is the best philosophy. I've always found it extremely strange how Souls players think it's normal to limit yourself from game mechanics. In every other game, you'd have players figuring out what's good and how to build a strong character, in Souls it's a pissing contest of who gimped themselves more, at least on Ganker.
