Oh great video, I have tried all of these and now I understand why my freeze pot never worked. I’m also perusing these comments and understand that being on console is part of my problem. I love this boss, and will feel like I am getting better at dodging through wf with the spin around her, and then my very next try she will absolutely shred me. Still love these games and these punishing bosses.
Malenia is tied with Friede and Inner Owl Father for my absolute favorite fromsoft boss ever. Fromsoft has a ton, and I mean a TON of absolute peak bossfights, but these three are the only ones that I find genuinely addicting once they click for you. Sometimes, when I'm bored, I just boot up ER with cheat engine, respawn Malenia, and just fight her over and over with different builds. It also helps that she allows the most amount of freedom and skill expression because of the fact that she can be hit stunned, and in a game like elden ring which has near-infinite build variety, it really helps her stand far above any other boss for me. I just wish I could rematch her and other ER bosses without having to go through the hassle of cheat engine, just like in sekiro
My brotha u just literally explained how i feel and why i love fighting malenia, goated comment and i appreciate the time u wrote this and the fact that ur here, means a lot to me
My guy, black flame Friede shook me to my core! She’s still a top tier boss, just so good. I also love Malenia and wish all the souls games had a boss rush option.
beat her rl1 yesterday, run and jump was the only method that worked consistently for me. such a cool fight, shame it all revolves around this one move.
Watching your videos made me play around Malenia's toolkit so much better. Anytime I die against her nowadays in a normal playthrough, is because I might overcommit and she activates Waterfowl dance when I'm not ready
Doing these on PS4 where the framerate is not always a perfect 30 sure doesn't help, but your tips helped me no damage her up until this damned move comes out lol I don't wanna do the freezing pot method myself, but at this point I might as well. My PS4 is modded so I can use the same mod you did here to force her to use this attack, I might as well do it to prepare. The worst part is the loading screens lasting longer than my attempts.
Oh man ur gonna struggle on that 30fps i myself struggle with radahn as my pc is really old i barely hit 40fps when i fight him and on his lightning attacks it goes down to 20 i can't even do ntg lol
@@TheWhiteGuuyy On PC you can use framerate limiters, lock yourself to 30, or even 45. Not to mention mods that improve performance. Radahn is another boss I can't battle properly because of the framerate. See, I used to have mods on my game where it ran at 720p instead of 1080p, but the patch was never updated, and I reaaaally wanted to try the DLC out.
@@malikhittam1440 No, it isn't. The issue is an unstable framerate, whatever the values are. When I played with mods on PS4, I could have a nearly perfect framerate, and didn't struggle as much with these bosses. On PS5 the framerate isn't 60 at all times either, it's uncapped, unless you play the PS4 version using the disc, then you get 60 at all times. I use my modded console to pretty much lock every game to 30 when they run at uncapped 60, otherwise my inputs are ruined by random spikes, like in Monster Hunter World, on some corners of the map the game would jump to 51FPS but what for if a second later it'd go back to 30, it was more jarring than anything.
@@xGMV all that sounds pretty similar to the fps problems in ps4 bloodborne. I'm fine with a game running at 30fps if it's consistent. Fromsoft games on ps4 get really choppy at times, with the framerate even dropping below 20 at times. The engine being outdated really is fromsoft's only weakness lol
Becuz it's easy and always works but if u pay attention that most streams are close to malenia when fighting her if ur a bit far it will be hard to do but if u have mastered it then u will know what to do
Circly around her is practically impossible on Keyboard, you need all five fingers to work perfectly and not intersect with eachother, which is superhuman and takes a shit ton of practice and muscle speed, running away remains the best for all platforms imo. I think you should've clarified why the jump is so important.. and that you should only jump when her feet touch the ground again so she doesn't reach you.. then rest is history. It's also BS that she ignores stance damage whever her feet are in the air... Looks like Miyazaki's weird feet obssession knows no bounds
Man I've tried it on keyboard and god it's impossible lol (yup there's some stuff that is not explained and i had a lot to say but I'm not used to talking that's why I'm stressed, I'll do better next time)

Day 1 asking to try forked tongue hatchet (radhan was too difficult) ((First))
Can you do a video beating Malenia spamming Waterfowl dance like in the tutorial ?
What do you mean?
@ I think they mean fight her where she is only using water fowl.
Oh that's gonna be brutal but good idea actually, it's gonna be fun 😂😂
Why do moat streamers use the circle method without lock on? Is there an advantage to it?
