The game has over 40 unique types of bosses and over 100 unique types of enemies. Can you name another game that doesn't use sprite graphics that comes anywhere close to that?

Yeah the soldier reskins were a letdown. Still liked the rot knights and big bugle bois. Still wish there were some truly unique enemies in that area.
Two reskins of the enemies you've seen 1000 times since limgrave absolutely does not count. The instant you see them you know exactly what they are because you've already fought them.

You have to pre-emptively counter people's stupid arguments on this site. If I hadn't said that, somebody would've gone "ackchyually the two reskins of the most basic enemies in the game are technically new". If I was typing to reasonable people I would've just said "Haligtree has no unique enemies", because any reasonable person would agree.

there were nothing but dumb ass vigor check meme videos for months on every social platform
including this shithole
A lot of people didn't want to learn the game. So they checked reddit, where they were told to level vigor. So they did without understanding a thing about it.

I went from 30 to 60, but I also had heavy armor. No idea if that helped, I don't know how armor mechanics work I just wore it cause it looked cool (it was the fat armor)
Cleanrot Knight armor is one of the best Heavy sets in the game for its weight. Literally a 9% difference on average compared to the heaviest set in the game.
Only if you copy pasted reddit meme builds. Dex/arc bleedfags seethed while strchads were eating well
>Dex/arc bleedfags seethed while strchads were eating well
Literally doesn't matter in ER because you pump END regardless and everyone can wear the same shit.
I don't think you understand how utterly useless the Physical Defense you get from Strength is. It does absolutely fuck-all late game, because it's not % based and gets a penalty if the damage is more than double the flat amount.
You can get 60% DR before Lyndell, the game gives you ways to combat the scaling. You don't have to use them to progress but it seems like you do, so put on the talisman, your heavy armor, eat some crab and drink your sippy
>You can get 60% DR before Lyndell
Not the point of the conversation, but OK. Someone said level VIG, when VIG increases your effective health by almost nothing post Leyndell. At 60 VIG you're lucky if you die in 5 hits instead of 4 at 40 VIG.
It is factually better to level STR and just use a greatshield after Leyndell, or pump END and roll through everything. VIG is a worthless stat unless you're planning on trading with high stance damage.

Morgot's great rune at 60 vig nets you about 2200 HP I believe. That lets you tank plenty of hits, >It is factually better to level STR
STR also increases your defense so it's also a great choice for negating damage. With high VIG and STR, Morgot's GR, and DR boosting tools the late game scaling can be handled appropriately

It doesn't work that way. STR increases flat-damage reduction. i.e. if you have 99 STR at level 60+ you get around 500 flat damage reduction. Anything below 500 damage (before Negation, not after) will instead do around 100 damage because it's weighted the higher the reduction would be. Anything that does above 500 damage, say something that hits for 600, will instead do around 250, because it's, again, weighted.
Anything that would do 700 damage, which most shit does late game, doesn't get reduced at all. You get more damage reduction from just leveling than you do from 99 Strength.
>I don't think you understand how utterly useless the physical defense you get from Strength is.

get ritual shield talisman, they buffed it compared to lloyds shield ring for that exact reason. There are also 4 different physical and 12 different elemental damage negation talismans, all will give you up to 60% damage negation if you stack them with armor. Ritual Shield and Dragoncrest Greatshield alone let me tank Malenia and Clergyman hits on level 1. If you know how to make a tanky build, the damage isnt concerning.
>not greatshield talismans >no 30% damage reduction talisman >no boiled lobster >no phyics tear >no good armor
REEEE WHAT DO YOU MEAN I NEED TO RPG IN MY RPG ADVENTURE??
I made a double braggart's roar build focusing on DR and even in PvP with the DR nerf it's disgusting. Took on 3 people at lv 60 (col. greatsword, gravity mage, and dual CS) and destroyed them effortlessly. Killed them all in 3-4 hits while their attacks dealt chip damage
First time was with dual katanas, second time was with a colossal GS. If I ever need to beat her for something I usually just cheese her with Mohg's spear
>I usually just cheese her with Mohg's spear
I have actually been trying Mohg's spear on a newer character recently because it's a cool weapon and I was shocked how quickly it deleted her. I've fought her with a dex Katana build, a pure sorcery build, a pure strength greatsword build, and the spear is head and shoulders above everything else when fighting her.
The reason is because it literally can't miss. As long as they're in the circle when you do the actual stab and aren't made of stone, they WILL take fire and bleed damage. I did a playthrough where I gave myself it at the start and it deletes everything that isn't a form of rock.
>Malenia deserves to be fought fair- >0:13
Seriously, look at this absolute garbage. That is the same dirty poorly programmed shit they used for Pthumerian Descendant
>that's the easy part the 2nd stage is what makes the boss fight hard
phase 2 is unironically the easier phase if you fight her aggressively since she will constantly do the retaliation kick and the jumping slam into scarlet explosion, both of which are guaranteed openings to take advantage of. Phase 1 Malenia idles a lot and its easier to get caught in hyperarmour attacks. Plus she animation cancels her stagger way more in phase 1.
if you make a thread about a game you like, and I happen to dislike it, you won't see me posting on it

now say you understand or your mother dies in her sleep tonight
i went strength build and dual wielded 2 almost max level Rotten Staffs, which cause Scarlet Rot buildup, and I also used the Mimic summon. So basically, she would be hit constantly by 4 of those Rotten Staffs, because of me and my Mimic, so she was constantly taking scarlet rot buildup and damage and my mimic was tanking most of her damage
I never even got to her, I quit the game just before maliketh
It just stopped interesting me.
Really hope the dlc will have some nice areas to explore and cool weapons, most of the weapons in the base game just aren't fun to use.
I didn't, i'm probably retarded. I couldn't figure out how to get to the foggy area so figured I had to keep progressing the main story and ended up beating the game never getting to that area. Looked it up before starting NG+ and I was supposed to go back to the lift and use the other medallion. I started exploring the area but just didn't care anymore since I had already beat the game so there was no point.
First time i barely beat her with a cold infused GUGS. Today I beat her hitless with an unupgraded Lordsworns Greatsword. Really insane how she went from being the bane of my existance to being a push over.
Through weapon infusement, I had two power-stanced rapiers which between them dealt out a potent combination of bleed, poison, scarlet rot and frostbite which is refer to collectively as 'ligma',
She gets staggered by bleed/frostbite procs and that interrupted a lot of her attacks.
Wasn't too hard honestly.
Hardest boss in the game for me was Radagon/Elden Beast by far, since both are immune to status ailments and so I was just left sticking them repeatedly with two toothpicks.

Was over in less than a minute, this game is pretty damn easy if you aren't a "hurr durr no shields naked level 1 dagger iframe rolls only!" cro magnon idiot
same here, though I took a break for 2 days and forced myself through it. Farum Azula's is definitely 'that' part of the game, but after beating its boss you get teleported straight to the final area and its a straight boss rush to the ending so its worth it.
I haven't beaten her solo. I've tried many times but in the end just gave up and summoned. I don't care though cause if the game is willing to cheap me out with waterfowl dance, I WILL cheap it out by summoning. This is a close contender for worst soulslike boss barring bed of chaos
with the greatsword that's called Straight sword for whatever reason, frost infused plus bloodhound step because for the first 40 or so tries I didn't know how to dodge waterfowl
don't remember what I was wearing but it was probably POISE central
Level 125, INT build, using ranged magic. Mostly Glintstone Dart, Ranni's Dark Moon and Night Comet. It was pretty hard creating space and having time to cast spells while she's breathing down my neck 24/7, since I did it without summons and without Spirit Ashes.
Incredible boss, next playthrough I'll fight her 1v1 with a melee set-up.
I didn't
my first playthrough i did 100% blind and dident even know that areas was there untill my second playthrough, but by then I had burnt out and stopped caring for the time being
I never talked with gideon because I played the game like an open world game and not a fromsoft game and went exploring, the entire time feeling like I was playing the game wrong because there was no content in the open world with any sort of definition, probably the worst open world I have ever played. On a handful of playthroughs I made it to fire giant, usually by making builds that could dominate every boss as easily as possible (which wasn't difficult at all, took about 30 minutes to get the gear). I only actually tried to fight fire giant on two playthroughs and the second time I beat him at level 1. I then did the Haligtree for Millicent's quest and then never started up again. It's a completely broken experience, whether you like open worlds or fromsoft content neither are ever at their peak and their open world design looks like baby's first open world

Bosses fundamentally are designed from the ground up to have endless combos, just look at their combo chart at any time.

Most recently with powerstanced Claymore and Banished Knight Sword. No player summons or spirit summons, of course. She's truly a S-tier boss, so fun to fight.
>be me >Str + Arc build >Great omenkiller cleaver >Stormcaller >bloodflame blade >mimic tear
We double teamed her so hard I thought I was in a Brazzers shoot
With giant crusher, a light shield just to block the clone attack, and light some pants, fast fast roll lets you mash roll to avoid most attacks making it "fair". Also a bunch of throwing knives and a egg timer, below 80% health she will death spin need to be far away. set egg timer mid fight post deathspin now i have 30 seconds to deal dmg. Egg timer goes off start running away, throw a knife if she dodges nothing happens, throw another she gets hit and 90% of the time she will deathspin but it's fine since you defused her with a knife from far away and you looked up how to roll into her second spin??? Make sure not to finish phase 1 with a stance break punish since from says FUCK YOU IT DOESN'T WORK. block stupid clones with light shield with shield buff, throw knife to be safe, 30 sec eggtimer again throw knives to defuse her deathspin+ egg timer again if she isn't dead defuse repeat win. Elden ring is a shit game ds1 and sek are the only good souls games fuck you gay snoy naggers i will never buy a gaystation so BB doesn't exist. FUCK THE BORING ASS GAME KNOWN AS ELDEN RING.
On my first character I used Blasphemlus Blade but I used its Weapon Art sparingly because it felt like it would suck the fun out of the fight if I abused it. The sword is still strong enough to stagger her a lot though and being able to interrupt her fairly reliably makes the fight fun to me. My second character, which I found to be a much more fun build overall, always had the Treespear and Raptor Claws equipped and I would go between the two, using the former to stagger her and interrupt her and thr latter to bleed her. I love those weapons.
I could do phase 1 without getting hit, but realised in phase 2 her RNG can decide to kill you at any time by cancelling a normally punishable move into waterfowl, and there's no cooldown. She also chases you down too actively for ranged cheese to work. My solution was to dodge attacks normally in phase 2 but punish from range with ice spear. That way if she decides to waterfowl I am far enough away to run away and survive it.
I don't think it would work these days (I hear it's been nerfed, which it should), but my first game I SL1 her by baiting her in the small zone near the entrance and abusing Hoarfrost Stomp. Second phase was the toughest - her rot attacks leave you absolutely no margin for positionning mistakes.
NG+ when I finally leveled, I just used my death build... can't say if it's good, but it worked with no big issue.
Night Coomet her to death, no summons solo, some good rng with waterfowl during phase 2 and plenty of practice on how to evade it at point blank. I have yet to beat her melee.
My first time was a str/faith build in crucible knight cosplay (with the sword) and that gold dorito shield with golden parry put on it. Took forever but was a really fun fight.
one guy brought up ray casting in another thread. it seemed cool on the surface until you realize that anything the computer is "looking" at, is tied inextricably to player input. your just adding a huge amount of processing overhead to have exactly the same effect.
Input reading is metagaming on fromsoft's part knowing you're stuck in an animation and sending an attack your way, the most famous ones are the healing ones
The same delusional homosexuals praising Sekiro are somehow the loudest over input reading in Elden Ring
You literally cannot have that "sword dance" flow of combat in Sekiro without input reading, how else is a boss going to parry/block with their katana and weapons?
>Boss spends 90% of it's time doing literally fucking NOTHING except standing still and waiting for you to attack so it can slap you while you're trapped in the animation
Wow what an unfun fucking concept, bitch, I wonder why nobody likes fights like Godskin Apostle and Maleina. Literally the most bitchmade and obnoxious way for a human player to play but now part of the story content.
>Play the game >Get slapped by 100% accurate input reading >"Ok then homosexual you do something" >Nothing happens because the whole fight is based around the boss standing around and waiting to read your controller input
Wow what a fun time. Not. This wasn't even a one-off thing either, felt like bosses constantly entered long phases of doing this. At least with a human player you can bait out attacks and do mindgames and shit to break that loop, they're not literally fucking robots using hacks to make sure you literally can't attack them without trading huge damage.
>At least with a human player you can bait out attacks and do mindgames and shit to break that loop
i literally did this an hour straight with margit for fun the other day
The easiest way to do it is with a throwing knife which can cause the boss to enter webm-worthy AI loops like those guys who trick bosses into jumping off cliffs by trying to chug an empty estus. It's just very lame and very obvious that the AI works this way, I can't remember it being that bad in other games. Honestly does feel like Sekiro but if they removed your ability to animation cancel out of almost everything and also most weapons are slower than the katana anyway so instead of the input reading making fights feel like a dance you're just constantly eating shit until you figure out the cheese strats for exploiting it.
There are many ways to go around it, the problem is generalization.
Unless you want to make AI of every mob react to every different action by hand, and keep in mind that mobs can react to other mobs too, it's magnitudes more simple and efficient to just have a set of flags AIs can react to, like when the enemy does a move or launches a projectile. Basically you either use a simple system that works good in 90% cases or you make a whole new system that is 10 times more complex and works good in 95% cases.
I beat her without using shields, bleed, frost, hoarfrost, rotten breath, summons, spirits or other cheap shit.
I learned her moves, changed my equipment and went toe to toe with her until I won. Yes you got filtered by the hardest option superboss. No you did not beat the game by cheating.

Is Elden Ring the worst game of all time?
It's not overtuned, they're still using the demon's souls damage chart so it's actually kind of broken
Have you ever wondered why bleed does so much damage? It's because all they did was inflate health pools by like 3 times and left the bleed % damage from Dark Souls the same as it has always been
You too? I entered that area and got so bored I uinstalled the game on the spot, this was a bit after release, did everything possible up until that point. Haven't returned since and don't want to
+23 pickaxe
i stopped leveling after rl100 because i was almost 5 shoting bosses, then this stated poc took me 100+ attempts
also weapon arts are for gays
Face-tanked her with dual halberds and heavy armor while being overleveled because I don't acknowledge this cut-content sekiro boss with sekiro mechanics as a souls boss.
150-160 I think, that was my level when I triggered one of the endings and she was one of the last bosses I fought.
The key is to stunlock her against the wall with heavy weapons.
Despite my best efforts I couldn't get Dark Souls 3 to run on my PC at a consistent 60fps, it constantly dropped down to 50fps or less when I entered new areas or when literally anything new came into the screen. So now I'm looking for a new game that isn't a poorly optimized PC port to scratch the itch that DS1 created for me (I played it a decade after it came out and even though it was janky and unfinished it was the best game I ever played).
Lies of P looks good but it's almost too blatant rip off of Dark Souls. I tried Elden Ring but I had the same shit fps at all graphics settings despite having a rig that is above recommend specs. I'm not even looking for a Soulslike game, just something somewhat modern that creates the same feeling as the first half of DS1.
She's a Dex built bitch that flinches easily, so I used pic related
Once her Water Fowl threshold was met, I threw an ice pot at her, instantly knocking her out of her attack and continued my relentless assault. Repeat until dead and then T-Pose on her stupid gay AIDS flower
giant smasher charged R2
blocked waterfowl with greatshield
gunned her down while doing the flower with shield cannon
all while fatrolling in fat armor
No, i traded reduvia to my friend for his golden halbard and just fucked the game. She only took 5 tries and after her and fire giant I never died because jump attack is 2 stronk.
I beat her with pre-patch moonveil + stagger flask rape with mimic ashes. If you played the game any other way your first time then you didn't beat the game.
I never fought her again, just did 500 hours of CE pvp after first playthrough.
I went naked because it made it easier to dodge and if you were getting hit then you were already failing the fight.
The fight was actually fun outside of water fowl which is the only reason I spent the time to do it without summons or cheese.
Dual claws and force her back against the roots on the right side of the arena. She will try to side step and backpeddle but she cant do either of those. Just smack her around like that and thats it, she cant go anywhere and she is really easy to position again for p2 like that thanks to her lunge attack. The moment she does it and you dodge it, she is fucked
I bloodhounded the anime slash, then I fought her like it was Sekiro (used the long katana, essentially attacked whenever I could to flinch her, rolled her counter to counter her counter).
some number of attempts with a regular halberd before i got fucking bored of her animation cancel auto-parry backstep and proceeded to wipe her the fuck out with the mimic and dragon halberd L2 spam
bosses that run away from the player are gay 100% of the time and deserve to be curbstomped as cheesily as possible for wasting my time
haha im very glad i added "in real time" to my post. it made sure people wouldnt try to reply with some convoluted answer that amounts to scripted behavior that wanst relevant. im so glad i did that haha.
Summoned Mimic Tear (Pre Nerf) with Blasphemous Blade equipped. The Weapon Skill would stun her pretty well while doing amazing damage. I had a fully upgraded Sword of Night & Flame and proceeded to laser and flame her down from a distance. Looking back now Mimic Tear was really busted at launch and trivialised a lot of fights.
blasph blade mimic is still retarted to this day, with a proper set they can still solo a lot of things, and the self healing make them durable enough for you to still nuke bosses with marais or whatever while they eat the load
cold hookclaws. alternatively, parry +miserychorde + dagger talisman. alternatively, whack her with any fuckhuge weapon and stun her into the ground. alternatively, hire a black-ass nagger to rape her while you sit on the sidelines and shout advice about the best position for maximum penetration.
Can someone explain what the fuck is wrong with Martin? What spurs a man to write something like that "accursed" person?
If Tolkien was still alive he'd probably be disturbed by the current state of things.
executioner sword arcane build is dumb op, each direct hit would stance break her
idk why people say that dodging her shit is hard, her telegraphs are huge
>idk why people say that dodging her shit is hard, her telegraphs are huge
The consensus in the casual community is that her difficulty comes mostly from Waterfowl Dance having unintuitive dodges and her clone attack. In the challenge run community people criticize her ability to animation cancel staggers and to eat up poise damage when in hyperarmour. But overall nobody claims most of her moveset is very challenging to dodge.
well roll me in butter and call me a honeybun, it seems that ive only ever engaged with the casuals because every time ive heard people talk about her, it was always that she too herd because unfair dodge range hitbox bullcrap something something
i was hoping something like gael going in that fight because all the let me solo her memes and youtube left wing s o y boy essaists talking how we were not prepared for her
once i got the timing for dance, the clones and the range of aeonia she is basically a nothing burger
99% of her moves are cut from Sekiro. I'm sure a Malenia lining up with some originality in ER's setting would've done more cool stuff, but as it stands outside of one ability shes less hard than Sister Friede or even Lady Maria.
>but as it stands outside of one ability shes less hard than Sister Friede or even Lady Maria.
I agree, after learning the waterfowl dodge, malenia fucks me up way less than sister friede does to this day. Arguably Lady Marias phase 3 too.

>her clone attack
I don't think I've ever struggled with this. Just spam dodge backwards with a light load and you'll be fine.
I looked up an easy cheese guide and did that, restated for the fight, used certain ashes and spammed her with some magic shit. I tried many times to kill her with my sword but I kept getting hit, which replenishes her health.
Slab greatshield (before nerf to talisman, so no stamina drain on block) and frost naginata (frost+bleed ticks) and Mimic (again - before nerf).
Eat shit bitch.
I didn't. I stopped playing after the fire giant. I got to the last section of the tree but by that point the game overstayed it welcome but to be fair I scraped the fuck out of the game so I brought the burnout on myself.
You can tell the race of the blacked-fan by how professionally the spade tattoo is superimposed in their edits. If it's decently blended and distorted to accommodate skin shape and lighting, it's a white or asian cuck. If it's lazily pasted without any adjustment, it's a black man with a preference for non-black women fantasizing about them preferring him.
I went in and kept trying. Slowly got gud. And I still barely won.
Wished I recorded it. I barely beat her in a last epic try. I was either I keep doing damage or I get back and heal. I decided to keep going instead of wasting time to heal because I was so close. The gamble paid off. Then a second later, I died to Rot. When I revived, she was still dead. Got my trophy and everything.
Best epic battle I've had in vidya all of last year. Here's the screenshot right after I died.
>beat the boss
Nobody other than speedrunners have beat this boss. The boss beat everyone else at least 10-1. If it took you two dozen times of dying until she died once, she beat you.
On my cleric build I spammed swarm of flies and used dragon ice during the scarlet nuke
On my mage build I spammed carian glintblades since the simplistic AI dodges when you cast the spell rather than when the pew pews come out. That and comet azur + infinite blue flask during phase 2 when she does the scarlet nuke
On my pure strength build I used the greatsword and pretty much exclusively did crouch-pokes since that was the only way of getting damage on her with a slow-ass heavy weapon without leaving myself open to getting ass-raped by waterfowl. That and throwing alternating ice and fire pots during phase 2.
With my dick.

I didn't I got bored right around the fire giant
Did you buy the game? That's the important part
yes
it is my least favourite from soft game
Oh good. You beat the game.
fire giant and all those end game bosses were just ridiculous what were they thinking?
>fire giant and all those end game bosses were just ridiculous what were they thinking?
they were probably thinking "oh shit we gave players 20 buff options and now somebody is going to make a "how to kill every boss in 1 hit" montage. fuck. double their hp. no, triple it."
>What were they thinking
Get gud?
They're really not, but go on
very feminine language
"Enough with the casual experience, it's time to get back to the roots, brace yourself gamers, cause dark souls levels of PTHD are coming back."
For me, running through the tree level with all the reused enemies topped off with the reused mounted magic knight was where I said fuck it I'm done
>reused reused reused
The game has over 40 unique types of bosses and over 100 unique types of enemies. Can you name another game that doesn't use sprite graphics that comes anywhere close to that?
The Haligtree should have had at least ONE unique enemy. It has ZERO. No, the footman/soldier reskins do not count.
>No, X doesn't count
Way to defeat your own argument
nta but the soldier reskins are really lame and I don't count it as a different enemy either, the only difference is the buffs and granades they use
at least the haligtree ones have cool helmets
Yeah the soldier reskins were a letdown. Still liked the rot knights and big bugle bois. Still wish there were some truly unique enemies in that area.
My point wasn't that you were wrong, it's that your argument was shit. You can be correct and still sound like a retarded 4th grader.
You have to pre-emptively counter people's stupid arguments on this site. If I hadn't said that, somebody would've gone "ackchyually the two reskins of the most basic enemies in the game are technically new". If I was typing to reasonable people I would've just said "Haligtree has no unique enemies", because any reasonable person would agree.
Let em, then call them retards when they give you a retarded answer. Preempting replies makes your argument sound shaky, even if it's correct
Two reskins of the enemies you've seen 1000 times since limgrave absolutely does not count. The instant you see them you know exactly what they are because you've already fought them.
Not only does it not have any unique enemies it has a fucking asylum demon AND a rot snake holy FUCK what were they thinking
Pretty sure it did dude. The fuckin magic shit.
It had the giant bubble bros
Okay? I don't give a fuck. If I wanted to replay the same content over and over I'd play NG+
>I didn't I got bored right around the fire giant
yeahhh okay, what you mean to say is you couldn't beat him so you dropped the game
No I got to the guy on all fours, fought him three times and stopped playing
The game just didn't catch me like the others did, I've beaten all the ones I've played except Elden Ring
By bored you mean filtered?
filtered by ADHD moment
It is not ADHD. Your game is just shit , long , non rewarding retard. Even though I have ADHD, this shit is still a boring long ass game.
I think that’s further then me. I beat the guy with the dragon hand and I got bored
summoned a couple of chads. one with dual giant crushers, and one with dual prelate hammers, and they just stunlocked her to death with jumping L1's. was kind of anticlimactic.
I actually leveled up vigor unlike 90% of Ganker so I didn't get one shot by late game bosses.
Vigor is useless in the late game, anon.
Vigor goes beyond level 15 or 20 or whatever "guides" you followed
You can max your vigor and you still won't be able to eat late game hits.
>Inb4 "Learn to dodge/parry"
If you can reliably dodge/parry everything then you don't need vigor.
please stop lying it isn't nice
>Just play the game perfectly like a robot!
every retard that posts here thinks leveling vigor to 60 wasn't the most brain-dead and widely peddled take the community had
there were nothing but dumb ass vigor check meme videos for months on every social platform
including this shithole
>PVP
Those who play the Soul's series for PVP are subhumans.
what happened was people on Ganker started talking about the damage jumps so a schizo started spamming that 60 vigor fixes the game
A lot of people didn't want to learn the game. So they checked reddit, where they were told to level vigor. So they did without understanding a thing about it.
What late game are we talking about? New game plus?
Cause levelling vigor did, in fact, save me from getting one-shot by the final bosses. I know this cause I did actually change my build after eating shit against hoarah louxps 6 times in a row
How much Vigor do you need for him? I got 1 shotted by his grab at 50 Vigor.
I went from 30 to 60, but I also had heavy armor. No idea if that helped, I don't know how armor mechanics work I just wore it cause it looked cool (it was the fat armor)
Str/fai+holy liver had elden beast doing low double digit damage
The post-Leyndell damage scaling is so massively fucked that Vig doesn't even matter most of the time.
Increase your damage reduction you fuck
Cleanrot Knight armor is one of the best Heavy sets in the game for its weight. Literally a 9% difference on average compared to the heaviest set in the game.
>Dex/arc bleedfags seethed while strchads were eating well
Literally doesn't matter in ER because you pump END regardless and everyone can wear the same shit.
>Literally doesn't matter
Redditor confirmed. Learn how strength and int actually works, then get back to me.
I don't think you understand how utterly useless the Physical Defense you get from Strength is. It does absolutely fuck-all late game, because it's not % based and gets a penalty if the damage is more than double the flat amount.
>You can get 60% DR before Lyndell
Not the point of the conversation, but OK. Someone said level VIG, when VIG increases your effective health by almost nothing post Leyndell. At 60 VIG you're lucky if you die in 5 hits instead of 4 at 40 VIG.
It is factually better to level STR and just use a greatshield after Leyndell, or pump END and roll through everything. VIG is a worthless stat unless you're planning on trading with high stance damage.
>At 60 VIG you're lucky if you die in 5 hits instead of 4 at 40 VIG.
Morgot's great rune at 60 vig nets you about 2200 HP I believe. That lets you tank plenty of hits,
>It is factually better to level STR
STR also increases your defense so it's also a great choice for negating damage. With high VIG and STR, Morgot's GR, and DR boosting tools the late game scaling can be handled appropriately
Taking 1700 damage just isn't fun
>don't get hit
Okay I just wont play this shit game
I've never been hit by that much damage from one hit outside of PvP
Really? There's bosses that can one shot you a 2.2k hp with 40% resistance
But it's a shitty asiatic game so what do you expect
What boss? Malenia should take at least 4-5 hits to kill you
They might have lowered his resistances in a later patch. On current patch I can proc frostbite with 4 ice spear casts followed by Ranni's moon
I didn't realize it either until recently
>What boss?
>this other boss doesn't do that much damage
No shit? wow thanks for the information asshole
You didn't tell me which boss can oneshot you with 2200 HP
dont forget that ritual shield talisman decreases incoming damage by a whole 30% and it stacks with various negation talismans like draogncrest (great)shield or haligdrake talisman. Ive played a lot of NG+7 scaled Elden Ring and the damage was never a problem with this set up, i stopped levelling vig at 60 and never use great runes.
Dragoncrest was always enough for me, and yeah 60 is where I stop too. The amount of healing you get between checkpoints should alwats be way more than enough so I can't really see why people are complaining unless they simply didn't know how to build a character or ignored the tools given to them
It's a poorly designed game, that's why
>i stopped levelling vig at the virtual hardcap
no shit
>STR also increases your defense so it's also a great choice for negating damage
i never realised this in the entire time ive played the game
ive always been a strength + heavy armour user across every souls game so i wondered if enemies had those stupid endless combos to make up for the damage being pitiful
i feel enlightened by my own stupidity
>STR also increases your defense so it's also a great choice for negating damage.
It doesn't work that way. STR increases flat-damage reduction. i.e. if you have 99 STR at level 60+ you get around 500 flat damage reduction. Anything below 500 damage (before Negation, not after) will instead do around 100 damage because it's weighted the higher the reduction would be. Anything that does above 500 damage, say something that hits for 600, will instead do around 250, because it's, again, weighted.
Anything that would do 700 damage, which most shit does late game, doesn't get reduced at all. You get more damage reduction from just leveling than you do from 99 Strength.
I posted pictures, you have nothing anecdotes. One of us knows how the game works and the other is getting mad that leveling VIG is statistically useless compared to other defensive options.
One of us played the game. The other copied a meme build and cried when the game countered it. Next time learn the game and don't just spam RoB
The game's shit
>Doesn't deny plebbitor RoB spam
Thought so.
The game is bad
I don't even have RoB in that picture you clueless moron. One of us did indeed play the game, and one of us is a seething moron.
Can't tell which meme weapon you have equipped honestly. I just assumed it was the one leddit recommended the most.
>I don't know what I'm talking about.
But we both knew that already.
>too afraid to say which weapon reddit told him to use
kek
There's a picture brainlet. It's really not hidden knowledge just because it's beyond yours.
>still refuses to answer
zozzle
>Wrong and retarded about a video game he rants about.
Such is Ganker.
>still refuses to answer
Not doing yourself any favors there champ
The answer has been there, you're just too fucking dumb to know what it is.
Even better because this has absolutely no baring on you being wrong about VIG, STR and how the contribute to effective health late-game.
>I refuse to answer, therefore you're wrong
Now you're not even making sense
The answer has been there. I'm just not spoonfeeding your dumbass, there's a difference. I accept your concession on the actual argument as it was previously though.
Have a good day, God bless.
you always get 2 retards talking to each other for hours
I do it because I'm bored. He does it because he's mad. We're not the same.
>I win because I refuse to answer really good!
This isn't an american political debate my guy.
it's pure fucking autism i swear to god, i looked through the posts to see what they were even talking about and neither of them really say anything at all. what a waste of time holy shit
Why are you being fucking autistic?

Eleonora’s is really fun for pve. I feel like the hyper armor is well balanced and fair. You can get killed in the animation, but it’s still very strong when timed right.
>one of us is a seething moron
and a quick scroll through the thread reveals which one is which. Keep seething friend
>I don't think you understand how utterly useless the physical defense you get from Strength is.
I wasn't getting two shotted post leyndell like a little bitch. Maybe quit parroting reddit and play the game.
You can get 60% DR before Lyndell, the game gives you ways to combat the scaling. You don't have to use them to progress but it seems like you do, so put on the talisman, your heavy armor, eat some crab and drink your sippy
That's bad game design, only an asian would think that's passable game design
maybe balance your game you dumb nips
If you don't use the tools you're given, that's completely on you. Especially when there are so many tools at your disposal that all builds can use
It's indefensibly bad and lazy asian game design, cope
Ah yes, the one who enjoys the game and knows how to properly take advantage of its game mechanics is the one coping, not the one complaining about getting hit too hard
It's indefensibly bad game design which is stereotypical of asians
>It's indefensibly bad game design
stupid american is afraid of numbers and needs ubisoft design with arrows to tell him which button to press
noted
get ritual shield talisman, they buffed it compared to lloyds shield ring for that exact reason. There are also 4 different physical and 12 different elemental damage negation talismans, all will give you up to 60% damage negation if you stack them with armor. Ritual Shield and Dragoncrest Greatshield alone let me tank Malenia and Clergyman hits on level 1. If you know how to make a tanky build, the damage isnt concerning.
>not greatshield talismans
>no 30% damage reduction talisman
>no boiled lobster
>no phyics tear
>no good armor
REEEE WHAT DO YOU MEAN I NEED TO RPG IN MY RPG ADVENTURE??
it's because they're still copy pasting the demon's souls damage tables
Only if you copy pasted reddit meme builds. Dex/arc bleedfags seethed while strchads were eating well
post leyndell you should have 30% negation on average
50 if you know what you're doing
fromsoft putting flat damage reduction items in the game is super lazy
you mean, armour?
I made a double braggart's roar build focusing on DR and even in PvP with the DR nerf it's disgusting. Took on 3 people at lv 60 (col. greatsword, gravity mage, and dual CS) and destroyed them effortlessly. Killed them all in 3-4 hits while their attacks dealt chip damage
late game damage is fucked but high vig is the difference between getting one shot or two shot. some things however even one shot you at 60 vig
>oneshot
>clearly doesnt have full hp
>clearly couldnt reap the benefits of ritual shield talisman
>scorpion charm equipped
not gonna defend this homosexual boss and his damage, but you could have easily halved the damage you received.
fair enough, still a shit ton of damage
You didn't even show your armor or what attacks in question hit you.
Bread
She canonically has no nipples
get her into face down ass up position and don't pull out
First time was with dual katanas, second time was with a colossal GS. If I ever need to beat her for something I usually just cheese her with Mohg's spear
>I usually just cheese her with Mohg's spear
I have actually been trying Mohg's spear on a newer character recently because it's a cool weapon and I was shocked how quickly it deleted her. I've fought her with a dex Katana build, a pure sorcery build, a pure strength greatsword build, and the spear is head and shoulders above everything else when fighting her.
I used this thing for an entire run and it was a lot of fun. right now I'm using the Cipher Pata fist weapon and that's a lot of fun too.
bleed destroys malenia
The reason is because it literally can't miss. As long as they're in the circle when you do the actual stab and aren't made of stone, they WILL take fire and bleed damage. I did a playthrough where I gave myself it at the start and it deletes everything that isn't a form of rock.
Moonveil, my beloved.

you didn't beat the game
that's the easy part the 2nd stage is what makes the boss fight hard
>that's the easy part the 2nd stage is what makes the boss fight hard
phase 2 is unironically the easier phase if you fight her aggressively since she will constantly do the retaliation kick and the jumping slam into scarlet explosion, both of which are guaranteed openings to take advantage of. Phase 1 Malenia idles a lot and its easier to get caught in hyperarmour attacks. Plus she animation cancels her stagger way more in phase 1.
Some guy used an op build and this weapon and got famous fighting the same boss over and over.
I beat Malenia with rivers of blood prepatch
I just kept hitting her till I won
I let him solo her
By not playing the game.

leveled up a lot
I actually stopped playing the game before I got to her because it was too long
Katana with blue slash
imagine melee pocking her with (You)r microdick until she surrender of laughter fatigue
I used a shield
Mimic + Hoarfrost Stomp. Same way I beat everything in this overrated brain dead game.
That's what happens when you play on easy.
Through sheer tyranny of will
i went strength build and dual wielded 2 almost max level Rotten Staffs, which cause Scarlet Rot buildup, and I also used the Mimic summon. So basically, she would be hit constantly by 4 of those Rotten Staffs, because of me and my Mimic, so she was constantly taking scarlet rot buildup and damage and my mimic was tanking most of her damage
I toggled cheat engine and one shot her because the endgame boss gauntlet is trash
I never even got to her, I quit the game just before maliketh
It just stopped interesting me.
Really hope the dlc will have some nice areas to explore and cool weapons, most of the weapons in the base game just aren't fun to use.
I miss him.
I didn't, I stopped playing after Leyndell
I didn't, i'm probably retarded. I couldn't figure out how to get to the foggy area so figured I had to keep progressing the main story and ended up beating the game never getting to that area. Looked it up before starting NG+ and I was supposed to go back to the lift and use the other medallion. I started exploring the area but just didn't care anymore since I had already beat the game so there was no point.
Naked greatsword. The only way to beat the game
I stacked jellyfish shield, fire scorpion charm and a bunch of other buffs and killed her with less than a dozen casts
brute forced her with an unga build and about 50 deaths. some of the most fun i had in the series lmao.
Bloodhound Step
I didn't beat the game
first time i used claws
second time i used greatsword
third time dragon breath incantations
Unga bunga'd with the magma wyrm's scalesword, no summon. Took more tries than I could count but I had a blast.
First time i barely beat her with a cold infused GUGS. Today I beat her hitless with an unupgraded Lordsworns Greatsword. Really insane how she went from being the bane of my existance to being a push over.
I remembered that Malenia was a women and picked up the appropriate weapon class
a crate of dirty dishes
she isn't black tho
Wait till you see her voice actor
NOOOOO
a bbc?
Beat her with dual whip (and mimic tear). It was pretty easy to stunlock her to death.
Why, with my trusty mimic tear of course!
>Noooooo you didn't beat the ga-
Haha *ring ring* my son is now here to help me beat the shit out of you
First time i beat her was by just using the mimic tear and the Ruins Greatsword bitch didnt stood a chance
Through weapon infusement, I had two power-stanced rapiers which between them dealt out a potent combination of bleed, poison, scarlet rot and frostbite which is refer to collectively as 'ligma',
She gets staggered by bleed/frostbite procs and that interrupted a lot of her attacks.
Wasn't too hard honestly.
Hardest boss in the game for me was Radagon/Elden Beast by far, since both are immune to status ailments and so I was just left sticking them repeatedly with two toothpicks.
I am pretty sure Radagon isn't immune to all status, for one I have proc'd Frostbite on him many times
I found it hard to get any kind of status ailment to stick on him.
by waiting for the dlc so i can overlevel even more and use op dlc equipment
+10 Dung Eater summon

Was over in less than a minute, this game is pretty damn easy if you aren't a "hurr durr no shields naked level 1 dagger iframe rolls only!" cro magnon idiot
>got up to farum azula
>motivation to play the game completely died down
i dont have it in me to beat it anymore. feels like a chore
Tiche, Moonlight GS, and a couple spells. I stopped playing "fair" after the second Morgot.
Me until a couple weeks ago. You're not missing out.
same here, though I took a break for 2 days and forced myself through it. Farum Azula's is definitely 'that' part of the game, but after beating its boss you get teleported straight to the final area and its a straight boss rush to the ending so its worth it.
I haven't beaten her solo. I've tried many times but in the end just gave up and summoned. I don't care though cause if the game is willing to cheap me out with waterfowl dance, I WILL cheap it out by summoning. This is a close contender for worst soulslike boss barring bed of chaos
with the greatsword that's called Straight sword for whatever reason, frost infused plus bloodhound step because for the first 40 or so tries I didn't know how to dodge waterfowl
don't remember what I was wearing but it was probably POISE central
an unfair boss requires unfair strats
Why does they always make her hot? She got ugly tranny body in game. And I thought japs are based.
she is a hot, tall woman
Level 125, INT build, using ranged magic. Mostly Glintstone Dart, Ranni's Dark Moon and Night Comet. It was pretty hard creating space and having time to cast spells while she's breathing down my neck 24/7, since I did it without summons and without Spirit Ashes.
Incredible boss, next playthrough I'll fight her 1v1 with a melee set-up.
I didn't
my first playthrough i did 100% blind and dident even know that areas was there untill my second playthrough, but by then I had burnt out and stopped caring for the time being
Fair. Props on the completely blind playthrough. I never knew there was a village of jar people until I long after I completed my blind playthrough.
how can you guys play a videogame and not notice such obvious things
>obvious
>random vase in a random village unlocks secret area
fromsoft are braindead
a random village that gideon tells you to look for
I never talked with gideon because I played the game like an open world game and not a fromsoft game and went exploring, the entire time feeling like I was playing the game wrong because there was no content in the open world with any sort of definition, probably the worst open world I have ever played. On a handful of playthroughs I made it to fire giant, usually by making builds that could dominate every boss as easily as possible (which wasn't difficult at all, took about 30 minutes to get the gear). I only actually tried to fight fire giant on two playthroughs and the second time I beat him at level 1. I then did the Haligtree for Millicent's quest and then never started up again. It's a completely broken experience, whether you like open worlds or fromsoft content neither are ever at their peak and their open world design looks like baby's first open world
>I never talked with gideon because I played the game like an open world game
I wanted out of the hub as quick as possible to experience the open world, you know, the entire selling point of the game? By the time I went back to the hub I had beaten half the game
>consciously avoid talking to npcs
>"wtf how was I supposed to know??"
Why would an open world game have practically the main quest of the game hidden in a vase
that's bad game design
>it's secret
then it doesn't matter
there is no hope left for you
So which is it, is it bad game design or does the point not matter because it's secret?
Why would it being open world mean you're not allowed to talk to NPCs?
>didn't even beat the game
I did end up "beating the game" but I just cheat engine killed maliketh, godfrey and uh... radagon once I realized the game was shit on an earlier save, I didn't include that part
This is akin to saying you beat the game by looking up the ending on youtube
Yes the boss design is so well done
?t=9
we know you are shit at the game since you had to use cheat engine, we don't need more proof
>video showing the game being bad
>no you're bad
cope retard
lol
>video explicitly showing the game being shit
>"lol"
what's your next reply going to be genius?
lmao
Are you mentally retarded?
No I didn't need cheat engine to beat maliketh
I didn't even fight maliketh, I just turned him off. Not to feel good or anything I was just done with the game at that point
I hated this boss. The grab attacks were a pain to deal with.
It's because his AI is based on input reading
ppl who complain about input reading are just upset they get punished for dumb moves
I mean the entire game is pretty much input reading so most of your basic inputs are going to be read at random to trigger an attack that always hits you
I guess they thought they were being clever
If you are bad
No you see by definition input reading is an attack that always hits you by understanding your recovery time, so every boss at random will see you are initiating an input with a certain recovery time and they will have a weighted attack pool to choose from, most of them almost certainly guaranteeing a hit. Malenia for example has multiple, the kick, the riposte, the thrust and the standing slash and there's probably more
>heal
>godskin inputs read me and throws fireball
>doesn't hit me
There's other attacks they do on input too, thanks for bringing that one up
My point is that they don't hit you if you play your cards right, which means your definition is wrong as you described they ALWAYS hit you
The fireball is triggered by distance. Bait it out before healing. Learn to adapt anon.
Heal after dodging oh wow.
bosses will recovery cancel to hit you with an input read attack
it's pretty bad
No if they're in animation they won't be able to do another one before it ends.
the definition of recovery cancelling is animation cancelling yes, and bosses do it, albeit rarely on some and less on others
There's few but so few I can't even remember any other than the fucking first boss guy what was his mordot mardit something. He has an attack which he can extend into throwing a bunch of daggers if you press attack or item button while next to him. The "boss suddenly canceling its current string" is not the norm.
Bosses fundamentally are designed from the ground up to have endless combos, just look at their combo chart at any time. A lot of the chart are actually combo extensions that the boss will initiate based on conditions you are in in order to try and get a kill on you. Some literally only come out on input
Aha. Examples? I beat many bosses with +0 weps and the fights took 10 min each and there was no thing like that so it must been patched then.
Yes I already gave you examples
Yes examples of what enemies do that? Just roll an attack and estus after instead of smashing r1.
Huh?
are you illiterate?
If I estus after dodging an attack from the foreskin nagger the spell will always miss (if they even use it). Are YOU retarded?
what are you talking about
I'm talking about naggers
so you are mentally retarded
No it's not fair if they don't wait patiently until I'm done with my sips
learn attack patterns and positioning
>this is the kind of people shitposting about ER
Anon, you're trolling, but the Finger Readers exist to tell you things even if you completely miss Gideon and never revisit the Roundtable Hold. The Finger Reader in Liurnia at the broken bridge specifically mentions the Village of the Albinaurics and the hiding Albinauric Albus.
No clue how I missed the jar village tbh. It was right there, but somehow I never came across it.
Just be better??? I don't get it, you have free iframes you can use at anytime
>one shots you
>nothing personal, Kid
Piercing Fang spam on my swordspear, the range is so long her AI doesn't recognize you're doing a melee attack and she attempts to dodge too late.
shield poke with the bloody helice for bleed
summoned mimic for phase 2
rng no waterfowl run
I summoned a janny and he cleaned her up for me
how many runes did you pay him?
He did it for free, I sent him home before finishing off Malenia
Do you also use summons for sex you cuck?
Most recently with powerstanced Claymore and Banished Knight Sword. No player summons or spirit summons, of course. She's truly a S-tier boss, so fun to fight.
that one laser beam sword tghat was super op at the game launch

We double teamed her so hard I thought I was in a Brazzers shoot
>mimic tear
Holding a rivers of blood and an uchigatana. Her swords fun
The dlc should add unique claws with a cool ash
Like maybe dragon claws with a red lightning dash rake.
I'd be happy with a fire type fist weapon to complete my flame monk build
I summoned mimic and used the skill on my blasphemous blade over and over
I recognize that 3d model
I summoned some archer bois
It was fun tbqh
The heavy archer knight was fun. Free knockdowns as long as you didn't let her pull aggro.
With giant crusher, a light shield just to block the clone attack, and light some pants, fast fast roll lets you mash roll to avoid most attacks making it "fair". Also a bunch of throwing knives and a egg timer, below 80% health she will death spin need to be far away. set egg timer mid fight post deathspin now i have 30 seconds to deal dmg. Egg timer goes off start running away, throw a knife if she dodges nothing happens, throw another she gets hit and 90% of the time she will deathspin but it's fine since you defused her with a knife from far away and you looked up how to roll into her second spin??? Make sure not to finish phase 1 with a stance break punish since from says FUCK YOU IT DOESN'T WORK. block stupid clones with light shield with shield buff, throw knife to be safe, 30 sec eggtimer again throw knives to defuse her deathspin+ egg timer again if she isn't dead defuse repeat win. Elden ring is a shit game ds1 and sek are the only good souls games fuck you gay snoy naggers i will never buy a gaystation so BB doesn't exist. FUCK THE BORING ASS GAME KNOWN AS ELDEN RING.
Hit her with a club until she died.
High poise strength builds can chew through her HP faster than she can heal it.
never found her zone and i refused to look up guides but after seeing the credits twice i dont feel like playing this any longer
Understandable. You had to put an amulet together in order to unlock the zone.
On my first character I used Blasphemlus Blade but I used its Weapon Art sparingly because it felt like it would suck the fun out of the fight if I abused it. The sword is still strong enough to stagger her a lot though and being able to interrupt her fairly reliably makes the fight fun to me. My second character, which I found to be a much more fun build overall, always had the Treespear and Raptor Claws equipped and I would go between the two, using the former to stagger her and interrupt her and thr latter to bleed her. I love those weapons.
me and my mimic bro beat the shit out of her with our guardian sword spears

currently fighting against the elden beast, I died just before I could kill it and then I thought, am I supposed to go somewhere else first?
Naked with a greatshield and the godskin stitcher. En garde!
Rapiers are cool. I liked the Frozen Needle.
If you get the timing down you can stunlock her with it. Its pretty fun
poisoning myself and spamming erdtree shield
>heal while enemy has opportunity
>get punished
>cry about it
yeah it's sad people who are not even good at games can post here
I could do phase 1 without getting hit, but realised in phase 2 her RNG can decide to kill you at any time by cancelling a normally punishable move into waterfowl, and there's no cooldown. She also chases you down too actively for ranged cheese to work. My solution was to dodge attacks normally in phase 2 but punish from range with ice spear. That way if she decides to waterfowl I am far enough away to run away and survive it.
>we will never see this glorious animation
gbutch i'm sory, please come back
He's a pajeet nagger, nothing of value was lost
I don't think it would work these days (I hear it's been nerfed, which it should), but my first game I SL1 her by baiting her in the small zone near the entrance and abusing Hoarfrost Stomp. Second phase was the toughest - her rot attacks leave you absolutely no margin for positionning mistakes.
NG+ when I finally leveled, I just used my death build... can't say if it's good, but it worked with no big issue.
mimic and hoarfrost stomp pre-nerf and no i don't care
As a STRchad build with my mimic tear.
The Iron Throne Sword is the Drake Sword of Elden Ring.
i beat her with pre nerf moonveil and pre nerf mimic tear
>generalbutch
He lost.
wheres her rot on her limbs?
It disapears when she is horny.
Moonveil and Mimic Tear because I have zero shame
Just beat LoP 100% not over leveled no specters or throwables used. I didn't get angry or annoyed once and loved it.
My buddy begged my to get LoTF and holy shit I fucking hate this game wtf is up with that. Its so tedious and annoying.
golden parry on a medium shield and wrym scalesword
Night Coomet her to death, no summons solo, some good rng with waterfowl during phase 2 and plenty of practice on how to evade it at point blank. I have yet to beat her melee.
My first time was a str/faith build in crucible knight cosplay (with the sword) and that gold dorito shield with golden parry put on it. Took forever but was a really fun fight.
Pizza cutter.
This whole input reading conversation is baffling.
There is no other way for a video game to react to a player in real time.
the fags crying about input reading are just mad that the bosses don't sit back and wait until they're done healing themselves
Computer Vision algorithms like in self driving cars.
The end result is the same. They read events.
one guy brought up ray casting in another thread. it seemed cool on the surface until you realize that anything the computer is "looking" at, is tied inextricably to player input. your just adding a huge amount of processing overhead to have exactly the same effect.
whats the difference between input reading and a NPC noticing your character has started an attack/heal animation
Input reading is metagaming on fromsoft's part knowing you're stuck in an animation and sending an attack your way, the most famous ones are the healing ones
And you can also do it to enemies, healing/attacking when you are aware that they're stuck in an animation
>you can input read enemies
the dumbass from earlier I presume?
>see enemy start move, punish it
NICE
>enemy sees you start move, punishes it
NOOOOO WTF YOUrE SUPPOSED TO LET ME HEAL
you are aware the characters on your screen aren't puppets in a box right?
they why are you expecting them to be?
what?
The same delusional homosexuals praising Sekiro are somehow the loudest over input reading in Elden Ring
You literally cannot have that "sword dance" flow of combat in Sekiro without input reading, how else is a boss going to parry/block with their katana and weapons?
>Boss spends 90% of it's time doing literally fucking NOTHING except standing still and waiting for you to attack so it can slap you while you're trapped in the animation
Wow what an unfun fucking concept, bitch, I wonder why nobody likes fights like Godskin Apostle and Maleina. Literally the most bitchmade and obnoxious way for a human player to play but now part of the story content.
Notice how they'll only do this if you play like a bitch too
>Play the game
>Get slapped by 100% accurate input reading
>"Ok then homosexual you do something"
>Nothing happens because the whole fight is based around the boss standing around and waiting to read your controller input
Wow what a fun time. Not. This wasn't even a one-off thing either, felt like bosses constantly entered long phases of doing this. At least with a human player you can bait out attacks and do mindgames and shit to break that loop, they're not literally fucking robots using hacks to make sure you literally can't attack them without trading huge damage.
>At least with a human player you can bait out attacks and do mindgames and shit to break that loop
i literally did this an hour straight with margit for fun the other day
The easiest way to do it is with a throwing knife which can cause the boss to enter webm-worthy AI loops like those guys who trick bosses into jumping off cliffs by trying to chug an empty estus. It's just very lame and very obvious that the AI works this way, I can't remember it being that bad in other games. Honestly does feel like Sekiro but if they removed your ability to animation cancel out of almost everything and also most weapons are slower than the katana anyway so instead of the input reading making fights feel like a dance you're just constantly eating shit until you figure out the cheese strats for exploiting it.
There are many ways to go around it, the problem is generalization.
Unless you want to make AI of every mob react to every different action by hand, and keep in mind that mobs can react to other mobs too, it's magnitudes more simple and efficient to just have a set of flags AIs can react to, like when the enemy does a move or launches a projectile. Basically you either use a simple system that works good in 90% cases or you make a whole new system that is 10 times more complex and works good in 95% cases.
Two odachi with fire on NG, took me like, 3 hours
By NG+ i just used a shitty Keen Uchi and got her on my third because of le waterfowl
I fucked her but then I got rot dick
I just frost stomped the bitch with my mimic before it got nerfed
but when I got gud.. I solo her with two curved swords, felt really accomplished honestly
Orphan is harder

It was fucking painful, fuck her non-existent recovery frames.
GG EZ
I beat her without using shields, bleed, frost, hoarfrost, rotten breath, summons, spirits or other cheap shit.
I learned her moves, changed my equipment and went toe to toe with her until I won. Yes you got filtered by the hardest option superboss. No you did not beat the game by cheating.

It's not overtuned, they're still using the demon's souls damage chart so it's actually kind of broken
Have you ever wondered why bleed does so much damage? It's because all they did was inflate health pools by like 3 times and left the bleed % damage from Dark Souls the same as it has always been

i stopped leveling after rl100 because i was almost 5 shoting bosses, then this stated poc took me 100+ attempts
also weapon arts are for gays
Face-tanked her with dual halberds and heavy armor while being overleveled because I don't acknowledge this cut-content sekiro boss with sekiro mechanics as a souls boss.
How over leveled were you?
Every time I tried to face tank her she out healed all the damage I did.
150-160 I think, that was my level when I triggered one of the endings and she was one of the last bosses I fought.
The key is to stunlock her against the wall with heavy weapons.
I summoned my doppelganger, the mimic.
Despite my best efforts I couldn't get Dark Souls 3 to run on my PC at a consistent 60fps, it constantly dropped down to 50fps or less when I entered new areas or when literally anything new came into the screen. So now I'm looking for a new game that isn't a poorly optimized PC port to scratch the itch that DS1 created for me (I played it a decade after it came out and even though it was janky and unfinished it was the best game I ever played).
Lies of P looks good but it's almost too blatant rip off of Dark Souls. I tried Elden Ring but I had the same shit fps at all graphics settings despite having a rig that is above recommend specs. I'm not even looking for a Soulslike game, just something somewhat modern that creates the same feeling as the first half of DS1.
She's a Dex built bitch that flinches easily, so I used pic related
Once her Water Fowl threshold was met, I threw an ice pot at her, instantly knocking her out of her attack and continued my relentless assault. Repeat until dead and then T-Pose on her stupid gay AIDS flower

all while fatrolling in fat armor

Had 2x golden halbards. You didnt beat her unless you learned how to roll through waterfowl dance.
>2x golden halberds
NG+ sama...
No, i traded reduvia to my friend for his golden halbard and just fucked the game. She only took 5 tries and after her and fire giant I never died because jump attack is 2 stronk.
I beat her with pre-patch moonveil + stagger flask rape with mimic ashes. If you played the game any other way your first time then you didn't beat the game.
I never fought her again, just did 500 hours of CE pvp after first playthrough.
lots of desperate flailing and summoning the tall assassin bitch
bloodhound step and claws
once with help, another is just curved beast sword w/ wolves summons and just unga bunga
I went naked because it made it easier to dodge and if you were getting hit then you were already failing the fight.
The fight was actually fun outside of water fowl which is the only reason I spent the time to do it without summons or cheese.
NIHIL! NIHIL! NIHIL!
It didn't even qualify as a fight
Dual claws and force her back against the roots on the right side of the arena. She will try to side step and backpeddle but she cant do either of those. Just smack her around like that and thats it, she cant go anywhere and she is really easy to position again for p2 like that thanks to her lunge attack. The moment she does it and you dodge it, she is fucked
Beat her up with the caestus solo and then married her.
I bloodhounded the anime slash, then I fought her like it was Sekiro (used the long katana, essentially attacked whenever I could to flinch her, rolled her counter to counter her counter).
Reminder that Let Me Solo Her gets porn made in his honor of him fucking Melania. And you get nothing.

haha im very glad i added "in real time" to my post. it made sure people wouldnt try to reply with some convoluted answer that amounts to scripted behavior that wanst relevant. im so glad i did that haha.
Summoned Mimic Tear (Pre Nerf) with Blasphemous Blade equipped. The Weapon Skill would stun her pretty well while doing amazing damage. I had a fully upgraded Sword of Night & Flame and proceeded to laser and flame her down from a distance. Looking back now Mimic Tear was really busted at launch and trivialised a lot of fights.
blasph blade mimic is still retarted to this day, with a proper set they can still solo a lot of things, and the self healing make them durable enough for you to still nuke bosses with marais or whatever while they eat the load
cold hookclaws. alternatively, parry +miserychorde + dagger talisman. alternatively, whack her with any fuckhuge weapon and stun her into the ground. alternatively, hire a black-ass nagger to rape her while you sit on the sidelines and shout advice about the best position for maximum penetration.
Grab her by the pussy.

idk why people say that dodging her shit is hard, her telegraphs are huge
>idk why people say that dodging her shit is hard, her telegraphs are huge
The consensus in the casual community is that her difficulty comes mostly from Waterfowl Dance having unintuitive dodges and her clone attack. In the challenge run community people criticize her ability to animation cancel staggers and to eat up poise damage when in hyperarmour. But overall nobody claims most of her moveset is very challenging to dodge.
well roll me in butter and call me a honeybun, it seems that ive only ever engaged with the casuals because every time ive heard people talk about her, it was always that she too herd because unfair dodge range hitbox bullcrap something something
i was hoping something like gael going in that fight because all the let me solo her memes and youtube left wing s o y boy essaists talking how we were not prepared for her
once i got the timing for dance, the clones and the range of aeonia she is basically a nothing burger
99% of her moves are cut from Sekiro. I'm sure a Malenia lining up with some originality in ER's setting would've done more cool stuff, but as it stands outside of one ability shes less hard than Sister Friede or even Lady Maria.
>but as it stands outside of one ability shes less hard than Sister Friede or even Lady Maria.
I agree, after learning the waterfowl dodge, malenia fucks me up way less than sister friede does to this day. Arguably Lady Marias phase 3 too.

I don't think I've ever struggled with this. Just spam dodge backwards with a light load and you'll be fine.
Spamming the phantom step or whatever it's called when she started her CUHRAZY anime attack
I looked up an easy cheese guide and did that, restated for the fight, used certain ashes and spammed her with some magic shit. I tried many times to kill her with my sword but I kept getting hit, which replenishes her health.

You can tell the race of the blacked-fan by how professionally the spade tattoo is superimposed in their edits. If it's decently blended and distorted to accommodate skin shape and lighting, it's a white or asian cuck. If it's lazily pasted without any adjustment, it's a black man with a preference for non-black women fantasizing about them preferring him.
Weak to anal.
I went in and kept trying. Slowly got gud. And I still barely won.
Wished I recorded it. I barely beat her in a last epic try. I was either I keep doing damage or I get back and heal. I decided to keep going instead of wasting time to heal because I was so close. The gamble paid off. Then a second later, I died to Rot. When I revived, she was still dead. Got my trophy and everything.
Best epic battle I've had in vidya all of last year. Here's the screenshot right after I died.
2032 friend 😉
Congrats Anon.Only beating Orphan of Kos and Sister Friede felt as satisfying.
Bleed, frost and BHS. Also I got lucky and she only did b waterfowl dance once.
Marriage sword + Mimic
>inb4 you didn't beat the boss
Unless you did it without healing, no armor, and with your fists only you didn't do it either lmao.
>beat the boss
Nobody other than speedrunners have beat this boss. The boss beat everyone else at least 10-1. If it took you two dozen times of dying until she died once, she beat you.
dual great swords
By raping her with the sould of my sex slave
guts sword, no summons, around level 140. Isshin took me longer I only died against her like 60 times
Blasphemous blade + mimic originally, solo with RoB later on
I didnt like any of the bosses in elden ring except Horah Loux
Hmm I used trainer
On my cleric build I spammed swarm of flies and used dragon ice during the scarlet nuke
On my mage build I spammed carian glintblades since the simplistic AI dodges when you cast the spell rather than when the pew pews come out. That and comet azur + infinite blue flask during phase 2 when she does the scarlet nuke
On my pure strength build I used the greatsword and pretty much exclusively did crouch-pokes since that was the only way of getting damage on her with a slow-ass heavy weapon without leaving myself open to getting ass-raped by waterfowl. That and throwing alternating ice and fire pots during phase 2.
dual heavy weapons. originally didn't want to cheese but got it was taking too long
I want to play Elden Ring but I'll never buy an open world game, so I'll wait until it is on gamepass or PS+.
Can’t you just pirate it? I don’t think the game is that intensive
With skill and trial+error. No ashes of war, no bleed weapons, no summons, no shield, no magic/incantations, no poison or other gimmicks.
by not playing the game heh. i'm smaht
Beat Malenia yesterday, now I'm fighting to Radagon and Elden Beast.
