@Zack Smith If you're referring to Sora's video. Godfrey had doubled HP and Malenia was nerfed by the Leyndell Area Scaling (reduced 8% HP and 16% damage compared to her original Haligtree scaling). Stats are adjusted massively to Godfrey's advantage and he still only tied.
@Zack Smith UA-cam does not allow me to send the BiliBili link or title for some reason so I'm just gonna copy paste the description. "Bonus in the same area: Gray City Rodell (reduces about 8% HP and 16% attack power compared to the bottom data of the Holy Tree) Changes in the way of Ge Fulei's transformation (with Ge Fulei's HP as 1 unit, the total HP in the two stages of the original version changed from 1.85 units to 2.85 units) The AI of both sides has not changed Throw damage is normal Non-combat power comparison video, please do not substitute into the Knights of Reverence/Forge Knights by yourself" Basically, Godfrey's HP is buffed and Malenia is nerfed by the area scaling. The creator also claims fight is not meant to be used for combat power comparison (probably because of the massive Godfrey buff).
@Zack Smith I might be thinking of a different video, but didn't he have double his health then? Malenia solo vs Godfrey solo with no nerfs or buffs is almost certainly a win for Malenia
@Zack Smith ua-cam.com/video/YEzr4bSDzYY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Sora Here. Hoarah Loux has his grabs, *and* double his health pool. He only manages to force a draw.
Fun fact, if you die at the same time as phase 2 Malenia, her death animation is so long that you die before the victory flag becomes active. This means you have to fight her again. I know this because it happened to me.
That's a good thing. You wanna use a gold pickled pidgeon pecker right after she dies cuz its the biggest haul in the game. 1.6 million on J4 If you get a mutual ko you're losing out on 20% of that. Like 320k or somethin
Basically my first attempt: Me: Sorry, Malenia, but I don't intend on spending several hours fighting you. **summons Greatshield Soldiers** Malenia: ...pfft... heh... heheheh... Heheheheheh... AAAHAHAHAHAHAH! Me: ...i'm going to be fighting you for several hours, aren't i?
Yeah, and what makes it even funnier is that the only one capable of beating her was Maliketh, who of course defeated the Gloam Eyed Queen in lore, the person the Godskins work for😂
Its because she heals her ass after every hit and only Maliketh can jump out of her attacks, Radahn is stronger than her even in lore , she must poisoned him , if she didnt have healing after every hit she would suck almost every boss
@Rocky Garcia Montana Mayne to be fare she just need one of those to almost ende the battle but she can receive multiple ulti combos from the enemies. If she would use it as they do they wouldn't even get her health bar down to middle
Watching these boss vs boss videos really puts into perspective how insane your character is to be able to defeat these enemies and how much of a battle it really is.
Yes, especially since every boss feels different for each player. For example - malenia was much easier for me than godfrey. Yet she destroyed both his phases.
@@paumartisa I discovered parries very early in the game and loved them so much I was using them all the time. By the time I got to malenia I mastered the art of parry and absolutely destroyed her. Godfrey on the other hand is unparryable. Also the steering wheel joke was amazing, thank you.
I think that's mostly because Gideon has much less HP for her to absorb, so her bs healing ability isn't as effective when fighting him compared to when she's fighting bosses with more meat on their bones, like Radahn, who she gets chunks of HP from after every hit.
@@alejandrorodriguezdiaz3493 it was litterally the other way around but ok. Gameplay is different than lore. In the Lore she got clapped so hard that she needed to stab herself to give him Rot. And even after that she was so exhausted that she fell into a coma lol xD.
I does the same relative damage to every enemy in the game its %max hp damage if I'm not mistaken, so it always takes the same chunks off bosses, relative to their total jp
I made a corrupt Omen Killer build that uses bloodflame and blackflame depending on the situation with the Old Lord's talisman to boost its time on the weapon to about 11-12 seconds. You can cast it while running which makes up for the low time it's applied. I pair it with wild strikes on the Omen Killer Cleaver which absolutely shreds bosses away. For bosses that move around a lot I only bust it out sparingly and usually switch to bloodflame, especially if they can bleed.
@@MrN1c3Guy00 yet he didn't live much long after the fight now did he ? also in the malenia vs all bosses video malenia fought maliketh in his area, which bugs her AI in fight, you can see what happens when 3 malikeths try to fight 1 of her and it's nearly a tie in her own area
Well to be honest. That wasn’t 3 godskin duos. That was 3 godskin nobles. Malenia would probably die to 2 godskin duos due to how much health they have combined with their chemistry
That's not hard tbh, anyone can do it if they have common sense to learn movesets. Malenia's movesets aren't that complex if you learn her properly. Dlc bosses are much harder than her to learn
So I took advantage of this to proc her WFD with throwing daggers from a distance in her first phase. It's more comforting not getting sprung with death. Made it slightly more bearable but has minimal effect for her second phase.
@@Lepoetism yeah she beats all of them 80% of the time, this very channel has a video of her fighting all bosses in their arena WITHOUT her lifesteal and she still killed them all.
@@Lepoetism i think what he meant was that in football you have homefield advantage. And if malenia was fighting in her opponent's arena they would've had homefield advantage. Mabye
I think a major thing impacting this is that she gets triple the healing, since it scales with each target hit. When she waterfowls, everything dies and she gets half her health back. It often makes a major difference in the fight's outcome here.
That's pretty minor compared to the advantage of having 3 of you fighting her. A lot of the fights where she's pushed to phase 2 aren't really even because the boss is strong, but because three of them together can chain stun lock her until she transitions.
@@bananaman4613 It is both of those. Every fight went the same way essentially, except the second Godskins who unintentionally actually moved instead of W'ing into her ... honestly kind of shows how this game is still, er, gamey :)
x3 damage, spells and stuns too. Look the First Lord, Malenia was cancelled more than Will Smith after the slap. So, not much the solo will change how the result, rather Milenia will win all I guess
He's already rotted in the game. I think it would be a stand still if Radahn is still in his OG form that being said Malenia is also weaker in the game than she was before fighting Radahn.
Radahn nearly killed her... she knew she had no way to defeat the big Chad fair and square and so in a last ditch attempt to beat him she nuked 1/6th of the continent with scarlet rot and yet that was still not enough to kill him. Radahn>Malenia
@@Heavenly_Father yeah surely she had no way of beating someone whose legs she cut off in a fight and was on top of him when radhan was in the ground. Fanboying is fine just don't be delusional. Malenia had to endure scarlet rot since her childhood to the point of losing her legs an arm and her eyes. While radhan went insane just from few years of it
@@thelambsauce2017 Her being able to handle it better than Radahn doesnt mean shes stronger, shes jsut got a higher tolerance. He nearly killed her when she was stronger than how we see her i ngame
I feel like the godskin nobles could definitely win if given some rematches but I 100% knew 3 Malikeths could win, i've seen him stomp Malenia one on one, the percentage based drain of Destined Death doesn't care how much you heal, if he stacks it on enough the outcome will always be the same, really the only bosses i've seen beat him are ones that do MASSIVE posture damage in their attacks to the point they can keep him stunlocked and locked down.
@@benedictjajo Mind that Maliketh didn't have access to a large portion of his moveset, since a lot of his evasive moves are dependent on his specific boss arena.
Every time she descends upon her opponent and uses the flower thingy, she gets an instant advantage. So it makes sense that Maliketh, with his long range high damage capabilities, that he would come closer to victory then almost anything else.
If only the ai had them avoid the scarlet aeonia instead of chilling inside it they might have won cuz they stunlocked her Poise break after poise break It would be interesting to see a one on one fight but with better ai that isn't tailored to fight the player
@@ToxicallyMasculinelol i don't think she gets extra poise, I think since she's more agressive you just get less chances to actually lower her poise stat since it goes back up sort of like stamina does.
I love how Gideon finishes her first phase using her flower attack only for her to immediately respond with a much bigger version. Seems almost petty in a way.
Not really in my case. Everyone is saying that he is easy boss and I know this boss can a lot, on my first playthrough he killed me more than 5 times, it isn't a lot but most of the bosses die in first three tries. He has a lot of one shot spells, if you aren't close and disrupting his casts he can really unleash hell on earth.
I'd like to see how she does in some of their home fields. Like if Rennala could still summon dragons and shit or if Radahn could turn into a meteor without dissappearing... also want her to fight the Elden Beast
this is impressive to watch all those powerfull bosses just faling like flies around her, and to think a single player could take her down with time and patience...
@@RandomPerson28337 that and I don't they stagger her like most of us would. I used explosive pots to knock her out of the water fall dance so I really just had straightforward fight
well first thing is that shes vampiric so the bosses have no chance already because they will not dodge like a human would, the other thing is the big reason they cant finish her is because of that burning flower, the Ai is not smart enough to step out of it, a human can easily figure that out.
It seemed pretty clear to me from the title alone that most would die of rot at the start of phase 2, if they make it that far, since none of the AI is programmed to get away from the flower
It didn't do any damage. In fact it put Mohg at a disadvantage because he couldn't do anything for so long. It really annoys me when people take away his Nihil, especially when Malenia can do multiple waterfowl's and scarlet aeonia's in a row.
@@Fagbagmgee It actually did a fair bit, but she was lifestealing through it, so it looked like it didn't do anything. The whole time it was going on, you should have seen Mohg's HP bars dropping rapidly. Had Malenia's lifesteal not been a thing, it most likely would have put her down, if not at least come very close.
@@Noobzlikeu she was doing her scarlet aeonia while mohg was doing his nihil. She doesnt have life steal on the part where the flower blooms, only the part where she comes down at you. She wasnt life stealing mohg's attacks and mohg didnt do any damage to her.
@@Noobzlikeu Each nihil is percentage based damage and does roughly 1/3 of targets hp. If Mohg's nihils actually worked, Malenia would've died almost immediately.
@@Noobzlikeu if Mohg did damage you would’ve seen a number value above the healthbar. My guess is nihil can only target a player cursed by the tres duo unus, and that must only be possible on tarnished
Should've put her in Radhan's Arena so he can probably take use out of his Phase 2. It's so old seeing creators always put them in her arena, because it screws over a portion of the bosses facing her.
@@Neirean Her phase 2 works perfectly fine in any other arena, but other bosses like Radahn and Maliketh are completely handicapped by taking them out of their arenas
@@gugg2216 Mohg got his Nihil it was just overpowered by the rot AOE. She's facing 3 booses at the same time it's only fair the battle should be in her arena.
Says alot that Hoarah Loux easily got her almost dead but she used one ability twice in a row and one shot them with 0 counter. Really is just an ability where if you are AI and or melee and as such dont create distance you cannot win. If it wasnt for that unlucky rng they easily win.
Her abilities are not RNG based... Did you even waych the video? She uses it everytime she gets to a certain health percentage... just like Waterfowl dance.
@@MaterialMeister It both is and isnt. She will use waterfowl as soon as she reaches 75% hp if you are close enough and if you attack her. She wont use it until you hit her next. She spammed waterfowl 3 times almost in a row because Rennala is using projectiles. Malenia hates most projectiles. I learned this during my bow only run. Against melee she doesn't spam waterfowl unless you stunlock her too much. She used her waterfowl against me a total of 20 times in her first phase alone in that bow run. Pretty much every time I shot at her with 2 or more arrows in a row she would side step and waterfowl. Thank god I was fighting at range. Her Aeonia works the same in phase 2. She will always start with it and then she wont use it again till you drop her to half health. Which is why she did it twice here.
I think adding multiple enemies only worked to her favor, the more enemies she hits with one attack the more she regenerated She legit went from half health to almost all the way back to full health in the span of 3 seconds while fighting Radahn
Well to be fair, 3 times the damage is being done her as well. Not to mention if the AI attack at different times she’s practically getting hit at all times.
I like how a stalemate between her and Radahn is lore-accurate, though his slow attacks and AI designed for fighting groups of enemies in an open field isn't helping him
Lore wise, it actually makes perfect sense that Malenia would have the upper hand against Radahn. By the time we fight Radahn in-game, he has already spent many years being consumed by the scarlet rot, losing his mind, and being overall heavily nerfed from his prime. Whereas Malenia is perhaps the strongest she's ever been when she enters phase 2, becoming a literal goddess.
Its due to his attacks and AI. None of these battles do the fighters actually dodge, so for one of them to beat Malenia they have to stay either out of the Flower Nuke ( which they don't because the AI only knows to attack) or have a move that drains her health quickly and at rapid speed so they do not die before her Flower Nuke gets them. Maliketh's draining attack does just that. The Godskin's would have got her, but they stayed too close to her during the nuke, even Gideon may have got her since all his attacks are casting centered which means he was further away. Its the AI and moves!
@@fjoa123 exactly how I feel. Someone Malenia seemed a bit easier considering the space available, I felt like Maliketh didn't even give me a chance to heal
Kind of puts into perspective how From just boosts the damage of everything late game. Elden Ring really feels like after a while they just want you to die
Didn't expect godskin nobles, godfreys, horrah loux all loosing...now I know that these bosses can beat her with 3 of them but it's still a pain given how her Scarlett Rot works.... Not a single perfect victory.. good thing is that From decided not to give her much higher poise. I mean if she had infinite poise...I don't think anyone could beat her except Malekith...
One Godfrey can beat her in both her phases if she doesn't do the Scarlet Aeonia, and Mohg can destroy her if his "Nihils" worked on her, three Nihils and she is dead no matter how much health she has, Malekith can already beat her as how she is but not always, but in his arena, almost every round he wins (the same with Godfrey).
@@Lepoetism for godfrey I woulndn't say he deserves his wins. malenia's AI out of her arena is very passive (se starts slowly walking for no reason during fights and takes loads of free damage) and that's why whenever she's out of it, some bosses beat her and whenever she's in it it's a different story. Godfrey is very agressive everywhere so for a fair fight it has to ber her arena not his.
I thought Mohg was actually gonna win, because constantly bleeding her out actually stuns her out of Duck Dance. Apparently Nihil wasn't quite enough to face tank Scarlet Aeonia though lol
A couple of these fights really show how powerful her scarlet rot flower is. Hoarah Loux was destroying her senselessly until she used it. In a few fights it’s almost as if its her out in a bad situation like Mogh and Hoarah Loux. Maliketh deserves the win tho.

She cannot see anyways.
Well she is Malenia blade of miquella and she has never known defeat...but she knows draws.
Good video as usual, always fun seeing her fighting.
She won cuz she was in her arena, if she was in other arenas, Godfrey, Godskin Duo & Mohg can defeat her (already did) without copies.
@@Lepoetism yeah she beats all of them 80% of the time, this very channel has a video of her fighting all bosses in their arena WITHOUT her lifesteal and she still killed them all.
@@Lepoetism This isn't a damn football.
@@Hatemx1 What does football have to do with it!? Damn it!
@@Lepoetism i think what he meant was that in football you have homefield advantage. And if malenia was fighting in her opponent's arena they would've had homefield advantage. Mabye
bro imagine the fear the last rennala felt when melania did the slow walk and dodged every single thing she spent so long charging
Rennala, the ex wife lol
A lot of these fights were personal.
@@ReneAenslandRenala is the mom
@@TipoIrritable If Radagon is with Marika, what makes Rennala? Rennala is the EX WIFE OF MALENIA'S DAD.
@@ReneAensland Damn Radagon is with her counterpart? Ew
@@TipoIrritable Yea that's the lore of the game. Radagon is his own consort. Weird I know.
There’s something so satisfying about Godfrey being such a poise shattering monster
Hoarah Loux was a true madlad to just jump into that bloom attack in the second phase.
I mean it is hoarax loux, warrior
WARRIOOOORRRR
Phase 2: starts
Malenia: "Hey guys, how's your health plan?"
APPARENTLY IT'S GREAT
@@Cz82 but you know how that song and dance goes
@@Cz82 Unexprected TFS
The strategies that the more successful bosses used was “don’t let her get up, because if she does she WILL get hyperarmor on her attacks”
Yup. Just loved how the three Godfreys just when full John Henry on her like she was a railroad spike.
@@UchihaOokami2596 the fact that she needed to scarlet aeonian two times consecutively to nuke over hoarah loux
Tell me you play marvel vs capcom 2 by not telling me you play mvc2
Godfrey is truly something else he deserved to be first Elden lord.
I think a major thing impacting this is that she gets triple the healing, since it scales with each target hit. When she waterfowls, everything dies and she gets half her health back. It often makes a major difference in the fight's outcome here.
That's pretty minor compared to the advantage of having 3 of you fighting her. A lot of the fights where she's pushed to phase 2 aren't really even because the boss is strong, but because three of them together can chain stun lock her until she transitions.
No its the second phase flower attack, bossds arent programmed to dodge it, a couple of these bosses wouldve beaten her if she didnt have ti
I mean yeah you just explained the boss lol
@@bananaman4613 It is both of those. Every fight went the same way essentially, except the second Godskins who unintentionally actually moved instead of W'ing into her ... honestly kind of shows how this game is still, er, gamey :)
This. Malekith solos her according to other videos.
Godfrey breaking her poise every two seconds is honestly hilarious
More health for Malenia to steal, meaning she has more time to give you the rot. That's why she's the only one who can solo multiple strong bosses
She wins still against the bosses solo
x3 damage, spells and stuns too. Look the First Lord, Malenia was cancelled more than Will Smith after the slap. So, not much the solo will change how the result, rather Milenia will win all I guess
She has lifesteal and the steal percentage is pretty high, at least compared to her max health. Very difficult to beat her.
Really goes to show how much you develop your character and your own skills throughout the game.
Nah I never beat Malenia. Didnt develop a damn thing except my weapon lol
Yea spirt ash go brrr
@@IluvinortheIneffable that sucks. Although I did beat her with a cheesey strategy. Still had to develop it though
Shows how stupid the Ai can be, staying in the scarlet aeonia
@@anthonyryan6208mimic tear with rykards sword goes brrrrr
Now we know how Radahn was able to fight Malenia to a standstill in the lore.
He noped tf outta there before she could kill him.
Rigged. I wanted to see an open field fight Radahn could prob win first phase.
He's already rotted in the game. I think it would be a stand still if Radahn is still in his OG form that being said Malenia is also weaker in the game than she was before fighting Radahn.
Radahn nearly killed her... she knew she had no way to defeat the big Chad fair and square and so in a last ditch attempt to beat him she nuked 1/6th of the continent with scarlet rot and yet that was still not enough to kill him. Radahn>Malenia
@@Heavenly_Father yeah surely she had no way of beating someone whose legs she cut off in a fight and was on top of him when radhan was in the ground. Fanboying is fine just don't be delusional. Malenia had to endure scarlet rot since her childhood to the point of losing her legs an arm and her eyes. While radhan went insane just from few years of it
@@thelambsauce2017 Her being able to handle it better than Radahn doesnt mean shes stronger, shes jsut got a higher tolerance. He nearly killed her when she was stronger than how we see her i ngame
I feel like the godskin nobles could definitely win if given some rematches but I 100% knew 3 Malikeths could win, i've seen him stomp Malenia one on one, the percentage based drain of Destined Death doesn't care how much you heal, if he stacks it on enough the outcome will always be the same, really the only bosses i've seen beat him are ones that do MASSIVE posture damage in their attacks to the point they can keep him stunlocked and locked down.
Maliketh is the strongest boss in the game. Malenia is just a cheap lil' B that breaks the rules of the game.
It was a draw though....
@@benedictjajo yeah it's just RNG if she inflicts rot or not. There's videos of malekith winning 1v1 against her and not dying to rot.
@@hookoffthejab1 He's lost to her in others though
@@benedictjajo Mind that Maliketh didn't have access to a large portion of his moveset, since a lot of his evasive moves are dependent on his specific boss arena.
Called Maliketh before it even started. Great video!
Every time she descends upon her opponent and uses the flower thingy, she gets an instant advantage. So it makes sense that Maliketh, with his long range high damage capabilities, that he would come closer to victory then almost anything else.
Makes sense lore wise though that flower thingy is the scarlet rot which pretty much decimates anyone in the lore and she is the Goddess of Rot
He didn't win though. He also died for the Rot so it's basically a draw.
@@marcusvinicius3298 no he died like 5 seconds after he won that, he died the same times she did then thall be a draw
In the end, they both died from tick.
@@marcusvinicius3298 For someone like him, a death like that is still a victory, Maliketh is just awesome like that
The Hoarah Loux fight was wild. They butchered her only to die horribly in her second phase.
if grabs worked on malenia, she would've gotten wrung like a towel so fast.
If only the ai had them avoid the scarlet aeonia instead of chilling inside it they might have won cuz they stunlocked her
Poise break after poise break
It would be interesting to see a one on one fight but with better ai that isn't tailored to fight the player
I think she hit them a total of 2 times
@@damagedcanofbeans doesn't she get much better poise in phase 2 anyway?
@@ToxicallyMasculinelol i don't think she gets extra poise, I think since she's more agressive you just get less chances to actually lower her poise stat since it goes back up sort of like stamina does.
I love how Gideon finishes her first phase using her flower attack only for her to immediately respond with a much bigger version.
Seems almost petty in a way.
Sir Gideon the all spamming was just the cherry on top of the entire video
I was actually rooting for Gideon. He's the one you'd least exepect to win.
i was actually surprised how well he was doing
Not really in my case. Everyone is saying that he is easy boss and I know this boss can a lot, on my first playthrough he killed me more than 5 times, it isn't a lot but most of the bosses die in first three tries. He has a lot of one shot spells, if you aren't close and disrupting his casts he can really unleash hell on earth.
It made sense right away though, Malenia's one major weakness is to stagger, that's why Horah Loux also clowned her first phase.
Also when did her get the flower attack
Hes kinda a bih for mage user
Man that Godskin fight was intense. I was really rooting for them there.
Fuck the godskins all my homies hate the godskins

Frfr
Mogh and her having such an intense battle was sweet from a lore perspective and then Maliketh defeating her was icing on the cake
1 maliketh is plenty if she came to him like she would have had to in the first place.

In classic malenia fashion, she pulls out a nuke when sudden defeat is near
I'd like to see how she does in some of their home fields. Like if Rennala could still summon dragons and shit or if Radahn could turn into a meteor without dissappearing... also want her to fight the Elden Beast
I don’t think she’s beating elden beast bro
@@ednatopg3074 That mf would social distance hard as fuck and whittle her down straight into the grave, for sure
Funny enough, I think Radahn has more of a chance if there's just one of him, since she doesn't heal 3 times with each strike, lol.
The fact that all perished even if they won is pretty lore accurate with her scarlet rot infecting everything
this is impressive to watch all those powerfull bosses just faling like flies around her, and to think a single player could take her down with time and patience...
I mean player actually get the chance to dodge her attack while most bosses just facetank two scarlet aeonia and die in a sec
You mean cheesey builds, max out blood build with mimic and letmesoloher.
@@RandomPerson28337 that and I don't they stagger her like most of us would. I used explosive pots to knock her out of the water fall dance so I really just had straightforward fight
well first thing is that shes vampiric so the bosses have no chance already because they will not dodge like a human would, the other thing is the big reason they cant finish her is because of that burning flower, the Ai is not smart enough to step out of it, a human can easily figure that out.
Single player? 😂
I’m not surprised three malikeths was the one to do it
LMAO the one Godskin Noble laying into those thrusts while the other just steamrolls her is hilarious.
Aside from Malenia, Maliketh was actually the one I've had the hardest time with. It took me 2 DAYS to take him down, seriously.
The goddamn air combos ending with a spinning slash always got me ngl
Same 😂
I hear some madmen say he's too easy
Somehow maliketh took me only 7 tries, one i really struggled on was with margit. I think i fought him at level 10 because i was young and foolish lol
It took me a month with renala
The lightshows from Rennala, Radahn, and Gideon are just awesome to watch. My fave is definitely the 3 Rennala's light combo
It seemed pretty clear to me from the title alone that most would die of rot at the start of phase 2, if they make it that far, since none of the AI is programmed to get away from the flower
As expected, Mohg's Nihil spam actually almost did her in. It's insane how dangerous that move is.
It didn't do any damage. In fact it put Mohg at a disadvantage because he couldn't do anything for so long. It really annoys me when people take away his Nihil, especially when Malenia can do multiple waterfowl's and scarlet aeonia's in a row.
@@Fagbagmgee It actually did a fair bit, but she was lifestealing through it, so it looked like it didn't do anything. The whole time it was going on, you should have seen Mohg's HP bars dropping rapidly. Had Malenia's lifesteal not been a thing, it most likely would have put her down, if not at least come very close.
@@Noobzlikeu she was doing her scarlet aeonia while mohg was doing his nihil. She doesnt have life steal on the part where the flower blooms, only the part where she comes down at you. She wasnt life stealing mohg's attacks and mohg didnt do any damage to her.
@@Noobzlikeu Each nihil is percentage based damage and does roughly 1/3 of targets hp.
If Mohg's nihils actually worked, Malenia would've died almost immediately.
@@Noobzlikeu if Mohg did damage you would’ve seen a number value above the healthbar. My guess is nihil can only target a player cursed by the tres duo unus, and that must only be possible on tarnished
Should've put her in Radhan's Arena so he can probably take use out of his Phase 2. It's so old seeing creators always put them in her arena, because it screws over a portion of the bosses facing her.
Doing so would mean she doesn't get HER phase 2... which is needless to say crucial in seeing how the bosses fare against the Malenia fight in full.
@@Neirean nah she does get it she just doesn’t get the starting Aeonian flower
@@Neirean Her phase 2 works perfectly fine in any other arena, but other bosses like Radahn and Maliketh are completely handicapped by taking them out of their arenas
Godrick didn't get to phase 2
No radhan comet
No mohg nihil
If you ask melania had heavy Homeland advantage
@@gugg2216 Mohg got his Nihil it was just overpowered by the rot AOE. She's facing 3 booses at the same time it's only fair the battle should be in her arena.
I do wish that some of the two-phase bosses were able to go through their phase transitions as well. Godfrey into Horah probably would've won it.
Gideon (7:18): behold my ultimate ability: rot nuke!
Malenia (7:24): you know I invented that, right?
Says alot that Hoarah Loux easily got her almost dead but she used one ability twice in a row and one shot them with 0 counter. Really is just an ability where if you are AI and or melee and as such dont create distance you cannot win. If it wasnt for that unlucky rng they easily win.
It only takes one horah loux as long as the grabs work
Her abilities are not RNG based... Did you even waych the video? She uses it everytime she gets to a certain health percentage... just like Waterfowl dance.
@@rageixi1422 absolutely not, tried soloing her 100+ times she only does waterfowl when you attack her too much.
@@rageixi1422 3:57 if it's not rng based, explain why she did waterfowl two times in a row with only a sidestep inbetween.
@@MaterialMeister It both is and isnt. She will use waterfowl as soon as she reaches 75% hp if you are close enough and if you attack her. She wont use it until you hit her next. She spammed waterfowl 3 times almost in a row because Rennala is using projectiles. Malenia hates most projectiles. I learned this during my bow only run. Against melee she doesn't spam waterfowl unless you stunlock her too much.
She used her waterfowl against me a total of 20 times in her first phase alone in that bow run. Pretty much every time I shot at her with 2 or more arrows in a row she would side step and waterfowl. Thank god I was fighting at range.
Her Aeonia works the same in phase 2. She will always start with it and then she wont use it again till you drop her to half health. Which is why she did it twice here.
In case you forgot: she's Malenia, blade of Miquella.
she is a blade?
And she has never known defeat.
And she has know defeat
Just ask radhan and letmesoloher
It's been how many months since I beat her. I still hear that line in my nightmares
And no, I'm not joking
She might also want you to let your flesh be consumed by the scarlet rot
I think adding multiple enemies only worked to her favor, the more enemies she hits with one attack the more she regenerated
She legit went from half health to almost all the way back to full health in the span of 3 seconds while fighting Radahn
Yeah, the regen on her is insane.
Well to be fair, 3 times the damage is being done her as well. Not to mention if the AI attack at different times she’s practically getting hit at all times.
@@alexdaniels2332 the main problem is stagger in the last fights she almost do any dmg because she is still down only her aoe in her 2 form carry her.
@@trnovsky33 yeah
Malenia:
1st phase: let's play
2nd phase: play time is over
I read that "play time is over" in Raiden's voice from Metals Gear Solid Revengeance
The bosses that had the biggest downside to them were the ones that had a second phase with a cutscene since you can't activate the cutscene
as expected of the ones that were victorious in their god hunts, the godskin nobles were really close.
I like how a stalemate between her and Radahn is lore-accurate, though his slow attacks and AI designed for fighting groups of enemies in an open field isn't helping him
Lore wise, it actually makes perfect sense that Malenia would have the upper hand against Radahn.
By the time we fight Radahn in-game, he has already spent many years being consumed by the scarlet rot, losing his mind, and being overall heavily nerfed from his prime.
Whereas Malenia is perhaps the strongest she's ever been when she enters phase 2, becoming a literal goddess.
@@pokimanefartcompilation hasnt he also been heavily nerfed in game since 1.0?
@@iceneko9170 Yes. Gameplay wise, Radahn was much stronger upon release but still nowhere near Malenia
“Sir Gideon Onfir, the all spamming”
Godfrey’s poise and stagger damage is just insane
Seeing sibling and family rivalry is pretty cool
GIDEON WITH THE CHAD MOVE, USING HER AEONIA TO SECOND PHASE HER
for some reason Maliketh always does great on every Elden Ring challenge
The death-flame debuff is no joke
Yeah he does. His movement is good and his attacks are OP.
I mean he is the bearer of death. What do you except
Its due to his attacks and AI. None of these battles do the fighters actually dodge, so for one of them to beat Malenia they have to stay either out of the Flower Nuke ( which they don't because the AI only knows to attack) or have a move that drains her health quickly and at rapid speed so they do not die before her Flower Nuke gets them. Maliketh's draining attack does just that. The Godskin's would have got her, but they stayed too close to her during the nuke, even Gideon may have got her since all his attacks are casting centered which means he was further away. Its the AI and moves!
@@a518b most bosses are programmed to dodge, it's just that Scarlet Aeonia doesn't trigger it.
10:10 - Malenia receiving a golden shower 💀
The whole time I was thinking in my head, I bet 3 Maliketh could do this. He was really the only boss I truly struggled with
Even though Malenia is objectively more difficult than Maliketh, I had more woes and desperation when struggling against him.

Try Hoarah Loux pre patch
@@tatianadicea6952I heard Rahdan was tough pre-patch but I never got the chance to fight him.
Kind of puts into perspective how From just boosts the damage of everything late game. Elden Ring really feels like after a while they just want you to die
Didn't expect godskin nobles, godfreys, horrah loux all loosing...now I know that these bosses can beat her with 3 of them but it's still a pain given how her Scarlett Rot works.... Not a single perfect victory.. good thing is that From decided not to give her much higher poise. I mean if she had infinite poise...I don't think anyone could beat her except Malekith...
One Godfrey can beat her in both her phases if she doesn't do the Scarlet Aeonia, and Mohg can destroy her if his "Nihils" worked on her, three Nihils and she is dead no matter how much health she has, Malekith can already beat her as how she is but not always, but in his arena, almost every round he wins (the same with Godfrey).
*losing not loosing
@@Lepoetism for godfrey I woulndn't say he deserves his wins. malenia's AI out of her arena is very passive (se starts slowly walking for no reason during fights and takes loads of free damage) and that's why whenever she's out of it, some bosses beat her and whenever she's in it it's a different story. Godfrey is very agressive everywhere so for a fair fight it has to ber her arena not his.
@@Lepoetism Godfrey can not defeat Malenia, becoz her life steal counter it and Malenia has more attack durian Godfrey’s super slow attack

Damn Lord of Blood was a close one, with the comeback. Love how only one to defeat her was Maliketh but she still killed them in the end
