About 20 to figure out waterfowl and the clones attack in P2.
I was using a shield with counters to break her poise and Blaspemous Blade's art to knock her on her ass which I guess is pretty cheesy.
about 10 and it was due to her ebin special anime attack, once I learned to dodge that shit I destroyed her with my counter damage strength pickaxe build
2 or 3 i have too low patience to play fair with this b***h after sawing she can heal if you block her attacks even if you took 0 damage and the meme attack twice in a row
1 with Blasphemous Blade, Tiche and a greatshield. Rollchuds stay seething.
>a greatshield

>I was using a shield
Maybe 50 attempts because I was using a shield on my first run and that heals her so I had to change strategies.
>I was using a shield on my first run and that heals her
Do you people actually enjoy playing like that? Pussy just passively hiding behind a shield?
The only complaints about malenia lifestealing must be coming from shield users trying to just tank her attacks lol since for normal people the fact theyre getting hit is the #1 issue, not the fact that she regains tiny amount of health
You can use a shield just fine. Especially useful with Malenia if you have a light weapon because her faster counterattack can be blocked quickly and punished. She will never recover as much damage as you inflict to her
Mor pathetic its that she have a rpt phase and that wasnt wnough to make her challenging even mohg have better mechanics to dunk on shield users after Black person aoe
The lifestealing literally doesn't matter if you break her posture with jump attacks and shield counters.
Shields will always be the patrician choice over rolling around like a moron, wasting time and resources whenever she hits you anyway because of her moronic long reach.
I don't even have ER installed anymore, more important things going on in my life than to care about a two year old game.
After like 20+ attempts I just realized I wasn't having fun, but I still wanted whatever the reward could've been, so I summoned another player and immediately beat her.
Epic boss battles with crazy dodge timing and and long combos are my least favorite part of any Souls game, so while the presentation was really cool, I just didn't really care by that point in the game.
Calling bullshit purely off that one flurry move of hers. That moronic shit was made to kill you over trial and error multiple times.
>Calling bullshit purely off that one flurry move of hers. That moronic shit was made to kill you over trial and error multiple times.
No, it wasn't. Not multiple times.
On my first attempt I died to Waterfowl Dance. On my second attempt I knew what to expect and how to avoid it, and hence did not die. It's not rocket science.

Unironically 3. I just summoned my mimic bro, max poise setup and spammed jump attacks with the Ancestral horn hammer on her. Used bloodhound step to avoid Waterfowl.
Still a shitty boss
Couldn't be fricked to count but it was a two digit number
First fromsoft boss I didn't beat solo on my first playthrough
I'm fine with difficulty but this b***h is straight up changing the rules whenever she feels like it, shit's not fun
She can't have her posture broken during some specific animations that can trigger randomly when you attack her
If you would've triggered a posture break but it's blocked by one of these animations, the posture bar fricking resets
I know it can be played around and shouldn't stop anybody who knows her moveset from winning but it's just such blatant bullshit that it unironically made me rage every time I saw it
>She can't have her posture broken during some specific animations that can trigger randomly when you attack her
So she acts like every other mob in Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring, your fault for spamming the attack button when you had ample time to react instead
You have no idea what I was talking about if this webm is supposed to be an example
I'm not talking about poise but the sekiro-like system that rewards you with a crit if you're aggressive enough
I haven't seen any other enemy or boss in elden ring just straight up ignore that, and it felt great to finally have a viable way to play aggressively in a souls game until they decided to make it inconsistent for the meme naked anime girl boss
>I'm not talking about poise but the sekiro-like system that rewards you with a crit if you're aggressive enough >I haven't seen any other enemy or boss in elden ring just straight up ignore that
Several enemies in Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring do this
You can't, for example, stagger Radahn during its meter attack, or stagger Friede during her dodge animation
It's also not "Sekiro-like" because stance break was introduced by Dark Souls 3

It didn't feel consistent enough in ds3 for me to care, I only ever noticed it if I hit a big enemy's head with a heavy weapon
And whether any other examples of this happening earlier exist or not doesn't change the fact that I don't find it fun to be robbed of the only reward for aggressive play by a dice roll

nah, that's just venting a akill issue
Malenia has zero poise, you aren't losing any dps

You want Malenia to be constantly staggered? No other developer can make bosses with no poise exactly because they can't design enemies this well. This makes Malenia or Black Knives unique from every bigger boss

i honestly didnt even have idea that she resets her posture when she does an attack that has hyper armor, still doesn't sound that bad since she's made of glass
well whatever, sounds like a skill issue, just don't get hit maybe? all of her attacks are incredibly well telegraphed, even the funny attack but that one needs unconventional ways in order to be dealt with

Many bosses use this in phase transition or certain attacks
Malenia uses that a lot more because she has little poise
This is also why her dodge triggers on hit and cancel stuns, to avoid webm related
probably between 20 and 30
it was not fun! she exhausted all my desire to play the game and i had to take a long break after reaching the last area. a lot of the bosses in this game aren't very fun honestly. it's like From cared more about le epic difficulty more than a fun experience (for example putting elden beast right after radagon or the excessive amount of delayed attacks)
I accidentally killed her with mimic in my first playthrough because I wanted to see her 2nd phase, but the little piece of shit solo'd her. Prenerf mimic tear users unironically didn't beat the game.
Zero, my playthrough was done completely blind. Somehow ended with the Ranni ending and didn't even know she was a thing.
So disappointed with the game I never did a second playthrough.
Definitely several dozen attempts, and in the end I resorted to respeccing and cheesing her with Rivers of Blood and mimic tear.
For comparison I blind beat 2/3 of DS3 bosses on my first attempt including Freide and Gael. No idea what people who claim that Malenia isn't by far the hardest From boss are smoking.
I have no idea how many attempts. But it took me 13 hours over the course of 3 days.....
For comparisment, the from boss that was previously my number 1 most difficult was Orphan of Kosm, and he took me about 2 hours.
second try, very disapointing fight
two because i summoned LetMeSoloHer on the second try
First try
2999
0, didn't play at all
Probably like 70-80, but I didnt cheat by using summons, magic, shields, OP weapon arts, heavy armor etc. like a lot of you motherfrickers did
Legit mano a mano fight
>ding ding ding
It's a wrap
idk but I unga bunga'd her with a UGS
p ez ngl
22 which is a record for any Souls game for me.

Not sure how many attempts, but I spent 8 hours on her before I won.
Zero
I stopped playing the game in the lead up to her zone, I got really tired of getting sniped from the fog.
i wanna say around 2 hours so maybe 40-50 attempts of rolling my face spamming jump attacks until she died
2nd try with warped axe + flaming strike.
R0T lol
>flaming strike
you didn't beat her.
She died on my computer screen.
1 with Blasphemous Blade, Tiche and a greatshield. Rollchuds stay seething.

Two attempts.
Yes, you read that right. Two. One to learn her pattetns, the other to perfect my responses. That's all it takes.
Bear in mind this is without summons, weapon arts, and only the starting armor.
Elden Ring isn't a difficult game if you actually know how to play it, but unfortunately most people seem to have no fricking clue how to do that.

like 50 or so
A good day of one and off playing. Without her one ability shes really the easiest of the anime trio of Maria, Friede and herself.
i was lucky i had the correct build at my first playthrough. i just stunlocked her with the big hammer. third or fourth try.
Only 11 but Maliketh took like 80.
Didn't even beat her on my first character. Hell, I barely made it past Elden Beast with him.
About a dozen.
I made a STR/FAI regen build with the skelly set, Blasphemous Blade, and the Demon's Souls throwback shield.
Unironically 3. I just summoned my mimic bro, max poise setup and spammed jump attacks with the Ancestral horn hammer on her. Used bloodhound step to avoid Waterfowl.

Luckshitted her at the 3rd attempt
Night cavalry flail + jump attack
I'm replaying it right now so we will see how much it will take now.
9-12
Dont recall exactly.
Too many because I wasnt using a build that hard countered her so her heal on hit bullshit made the fight utterly unenjoyable
3. I used blood swarm
I accidentally killed her with mimic in my first playthrough because I wanted to see her 2nd phase, but the little piece of shit solo'd her. Prenerf mimic tear users unironically didn't beat the game.
One YouTube clip
No, I don't own the game in any form
Yes, I beat it
like a hundred tries, went for that parry kill
Zero, I dropped that pile of garbage about half way through.
I can't remember but it probably took me about an hour. I stopped trying to dodge Waterfowl and just used Endure for the first slashes.
I still can't beat her and I have beat every other FromSoft boss.
I think I'm getting too old and my attention span can't keep up.
About 10
Like 30 tries
>Hoarfrost stomp
>win
2nd try.
>BUTT THEY PATCHED THAT OUTTTTTT
dont care was in when I beat her :^)
I don't remember. Not a whole lot because my first character was steroids overleveled when I got there
Zero, my playthrough was done completely blind. Somehow ended with the Ranni ending and didn't even know she was a thing.

I didn't even fight her, cba to do a second playthrough
>cba
huh?
20
idk took me like 4 hours. I only used sword and shield.
4th I use mimic tear
I set the trainer to ignore damage and just jerk offd for a couple hours while she danced on me.
many days of struggle
worse than isshin
but it depends on what build you go with. once i respec'd and used RoB i beaten her the same day
Probably like 40 tries on my own, then got her the first time I summoned mimic tear in phase 2
I have no idea how many attempts. But it took me 13 hours over the course of 3 days.....
For comparisment, the from boss that was previously my number 1 most difficult was Orphan of Kosm, and he took me about 2 hours.
