This man is the single reason why everyone else is maidenless.
Bruh 😂
😭😭😭
May I ask what does "maidenless" mean in this game? I have seen many people talk about it at the beginning of the game but I still dont understand it.
@@hahung7404 you play as a "tarnished" which is jsut a fancy new word for the "main characters" in souls games basically, and the finger maidens serve the 2 fingers and give guidance and wisdom to them and allow them to have a seat at the roundtable hold. you start off in a closed room with a dead body in it which i assume was your maiden and when you leave the first dungeon some asshole is outside waiting for you to talk shit to you and comments how you are "maidenless" so people just turned it into a meme.
@@hahung7404 correct me if im wrong but im p sure maidens are needed for a tarnished to use runes in order to level up and get stronger which is why melina offered to play the role of maiden for us
Imagine this from Malenia's POV. You're an undefeated demigod and this naked mortal with a stick shows up. You can't land a single hit. He blocks most of your attacks and you straight up miss the rest. This would be horrifying.
And then you become a true goddess, because your rotbloom (which literally annihilated Caelid the second time it bloomed) bloomed a third time and you still can't hit him. I really hate her, but that's humiliating enough that I might feel a little pitty for her.
And then this particularly weak mortal kills you with said stick despite having the strength of a baby mouse and you being able to launch a flurry of attacks so fast it’s hard to see it coming.
Good thing she appears to be blind. 😂😂
The greater will works in mysterious ways
She really did get defeated though, had to have her broken body carried away by some soldier and on top of that destroyed and killed countless and ruined Caelid.

Two legends can, in fact, coexist
I was level 150 and it took me 4 days, 3 different builds, and over 100 tries to beat Malenia, and this guy does it at level 1. Some people are just built different.
The thing you're not seeing is all the tries and effort and failure it took to lead up to him being skilled enough to do this, he probably put at least as much time in on normal builds first.

idk how he beat commander naill however u spell his name those summons he does would’ve been soo annoying for him
Fortunately O'Neil is not mandatory if you just want fight her, you need to kill him if you wanna progress with Millicent's questline so I think he might have just skipped the fight. Honestly I think that if he managed to kill Malenia in underwear he could also kill O'Neil even if it's a bit more tricky. XD

Imagine being such a powerful warrior that you have never known defeat. You have literally fought a demigod capable of holding back the very stars with his will. And a naked man with a club comes in and bests you to the point where you can’t even touch him.
Can also counter every single thing you try against him requiring raw strength, timing, skill, and confidence.
*Souls borne in a nutshell* lol

This is unironically the best tutorial video for the fight. I learned more about her mechanics from this video than any others.
"Let me parry her" the skill the patience the tarnished who became Elden lord.
Let Me Solo Her wishes to be this good
I was in a fight with her and a dude called “Let me parry her” We didn’t win but close. Next I summoned a bleed looking samurai (same as me) and an OP mage looking dude. She got messed up with double Rivers of Blood from either side and a Mage constantly beaming some canon lol. It was fun!
Had a stroke reading this.

He perfectly controlled this battle.

Even 70 hours in, I'm still trying to get my parries right and I still have a lot to learn but this guy, this guy has practically perfected his parries to the point where he made Malenia look pathetic. She wasn't even able to get a hit off of him. Godlike skill right there!!!
And not only that, he's able to dodge all attacks!!!!!!!!!
playing Sekiro helps a lot. the name of the game is deflect and dance, Ongbal adapted that style and applied it to every single game he's playing and manhandling everyone with his parry timing. Malenia is definitely a hard boss ngl, but yeah, Ongbal's experience on deflecting everything in Sekiro helps a lot.
Well this guy is probably 1000hrs in so there's that.
@@julrofe it's not like that. it's his overall experience on playing a similar game to this. Sekiro to be specific. if you haven't played Sekiro yet, you're missing a lot.
@@darkstar3116 yup timing is different, Sekiro is a faster game. of course, it will hone your gaming skills in general as well since as I've said, it's faster and Elden Ring is obviously slower than Sekiro.
Malenia, the mighty goddess of rot, the blade of miquella, the unbeatable who has never ever tasted defeat, got parry to death by a semi-naked man wearing underpants with a club and a small shield which is 90% indentical to a frying pan.
Now now, Ongbal merely lowered himself to her equipment level to make it remotely fair for her.
Talk about Humilation
cant underestimate the power of bonk
I mean. That man is the trash bandit. Never lost a duel on the streets or in the sheets. He never failed in a duel and legend has it, only has one life, legend says be said no to melina for levels and torrent because the sheer clapage of his ass allowed for fast travel.
Naked man vs naked woman. I see nothing wrong with that
The fact that literally one mistake, one hit from malenia and he literally dies instantly is just crazy. The amount of skill this requires is just mind blowing. Good fucking job man
Would've been the same for all the bosses they had to kill just to unlock Malenia in the first place lmao.
this just requires a lot of time and memorization, very little skill, like all soulslike. Skill is a matter of improv, ideas and execution. This is barely execution when you memorized each frame of every animation of the boss. Skill would be going in blind and doing that.
@@davidetosi2391 Your definition of skill is crap
@@davidetosi2391 memorizing all the bosses attacks is skill , most people wouldn’t perfect these bosses to this level even if you give them more time than this guy
im not saying it's easy, im saying it's not THAT skillfull. Soulslike are not easy to understand difficult to master, quite the opposite, anyone with gaming capabilities that has time to waste to memorize an IA pattern that will allways do the same things no matter what can do this. And flexing on this procedure would just show how your ego is so hurt after wiping to the same bosses for many times that your only retaliation would be this, exploit a mechanic, destroy the fundamental design of the boss fight, get serotonin spike.
Imagine being designed as the hardest Fromsoft boss and getting flexed on like this
That’s funny because she wasn’t that hard. The Two Gargoyle boss fight was harder.
@@Meklord-M7 nah bro soldier godrick def hardest
@@Meklord-M7 fuck that fight so hard, agreed. But Malenia is a really great fight compared to them even if she's a bit less annoying. There's really just one technical dodge to learn and then it's a generally sightreadable boss.

I feel like people who haven't fought this boss won't fully grasp the depths of how insane this is. Like, not just the fact that you're doing it lvl 1 armourless and any hit will instantly kill you (even a single tic of rot dmg in phase 2), but also just that you're committed to only parrying her. It's just so fucking insane, it must've taken a lot of practice and patience to pull off.
Malenia was really the only boss in Elden Ring that I felt I had to get good at, but even then, I relied heavily on mimic and rivers of blood to pull it off, which is basically cheesing her fight. Still, I felt tremendously satisfied with beating her after losing to her repeatedly for many dozens of attempts.
I cannot fathom how pulling this off must've felt, but I'm guessing it would be a proper reward to make you do this over-and-over with what seems like every fething boss
same i have to use RoB ,Mimic tears (before the nerf) and remembering her attacks but even then it still took ALOT of attempts with those builds. But i manage to beat her with some luck on her second phase, praying that she wont do her clone jutsu and wirlwind attack which luckily she didnt.

My first attempt I got one shotted within 0.5 seconds of the cutscene ending. It took me many, many more attempts to even stop getting instakilled by every attack.
omg this. After first cutscene, she dashed at me and 1 hit me. Instantly. I laughed so hard.
@@hientran92 I actually screamed and said "I knew it!" that cutscene just masking and foreshadowing why Malenia is undefeated because she's already right into your face once the cutscene was done

@@carioceco2315 No. She backsteps in real life.
@@thegrunch6448 😱
I was pretty dumbfounded at this too. I don't think this was the first boss who takes multiple parries before they collapse, but they were resisting with their endurance. Malenia seems to be recognizing the parry and relaxing her hand to absorb the shock. A subtle difference that really shows her being one of the best combatants of the whole game.
@@Chaffee738 Like, it's a game it doesn't need to make physical sense, probably they just programmed her like that so it doesn't get as easy as gwyn from ds1, but just the fact that she makes sequences of attacks at the speed of sound which is something you only see in shonen animes already shows that the game wasn't very committed to making some level of physical sense
The feeling when you see this title after fighting the boss for 8 hours straight with mimic. This guy is incredible.
He makes it look like it's easy. But we know this is far from easy... Fuck. I'm impressed

@@Delayeed9 wow u so good
I've been working on parry with Melania for five evenings now. Bout three hrs each time. My parry times are perfect and consistent now. No misses. I can parry every slow swing, every fast swing.. sometimes lol, her swish attack and her thrust attack. But i can't escape waterfowl. I've rewatched this vid multiple times and only now finally saw that he was useing bloodhound step to evade her first flurry. Now that all the pieces are there, my five day practice session will come to a epic close. Honestly.... once parries are understood, Melania is powerless.
Wow I missed the bloodhound step too! Good eye!
@Skibbity Bop damage negation doesn't matter if parrying is the goal. Buckler parries have a high window for parry
That’s what I absolutely *love* about Elden Ring compared to other games. You *need* to use a significant amount of critical thinking to actually proceed through the game. If you just *can’t* beat a boss needed to continue the game, even after 30 tries, you’re not ready. I find it super fun finding all the pieces that need to fit together in order to beat tough bosses (usually some combination of an increase in my own skill, as well as an increase in my character’s level and items)
This is also why I think it can be quite frustrating for people who are used to hack and slash-types.
It was honestly quite strange returning to God Of War and unintentionally beating it just by casually playing through the story…
How do you parry the slower attacks??
@@LillyAnarkitty delay your parry, as long if its parriable

I gotta say, after repeatedly watching your impeccable gameplay, I learned the parry timings for this fight and eventually won it.
So thanks for that. Keep it up. 👍
What was the sweet spot for the parry? Is it a bit before her blade hits you or just before it’s gonna hit you? I can never tell if i need to memorise her moves to learn the parry or there is something that is consistent
@@snixtysnixt the way that parry frames work in Elden Ring is that there's a bit of start-up time, then the parry window. If you get hit during the start-up frames, you don't parry the attack, you block it. If you get hit during the parry window, you parry the attack. So you don't parry instantly (like maybe you've seen in Sekiro.) You need to press the parry button a little while before the attack will land.
Depending on what weapon, shield, or weapon art you're using to parry, the start-up frames and the parry window are different in length. Generally, the lower the start-up time and the higher the parry window, the easier it is to parry with because there's more leeway if your timing is slightly off. Check out this video to see the different timings. When the character flashes white, that's the parry window. ua-cam.com/video/yX0mT_NQh7k/v-deo.html
Ongbal uses a buckler to parry most of the time, and you can see in the video I linked that the buckler has one of the largest parry frame windows available (what Ongbal does is still VERY impressive though). Small shields also have a generous parry window. Daggers, medium shields, and other weapons have smaller parry windows with longer start-up time, so it's much harder to parry with them consistently, especially if you're fighting something with fast attacks.
With Malenia, it looks like all of her parryable attacks are telegraphed pretty well, and her timing is pretty consistent, so parrying her is about just learning her moves and timings, not about having fast reflexes. Ongbal also has a video where he uses a dagger to parry her, which has a longer start-up time, so you can definitely read her moves in advance. But that's just what it looks like to me based on this video, without having fought her myself.
@@snixtysnixt The comment @bananana wrote is pretty accurate.
I just want to add a few points to that.
- Memorizing what attacks are *not* parryable (like the kick here) is important. You need to know their starting animation.
- While parrying with Buckler, look at Malenia's hands. You are parrying the *hand* not the sword. As soon as you see the hand *start to move toward you* you need to press parry.
- If you're a parry beginner like myself, either use buckler or if you want an even easier option go with Golden Parry/Carian Retaliatin Ash of War. The Golden Parry lets you put a tiny bit of distance between you and the boss and give you an easier window of parry. With Buckler you need to be very close to the boss.
- One vital thing I learned the hard way; beside timing, your *positioning* is also key in successful parries. When Malenia changes directions by quick-stepping you should also move to correct your positioning. Just move a bit, lock-on will do the job and position you right in front of her. but as soon as she stops moving and initiates the attack you should too. Otherwise you will perform a failed partial parry. Too took me a while to learn.
Good luck. Learning to parry her is one of more fun strats IMO.
How do you parry? I have tue brass shield level 8, and I have the ashes of war on the shield. I used to parry a lot on Ghost of Tsushima, I can’t seem to get it right here.
Ps5, great connection and I play on a monitor with 1ms input delay.
I do appreciate every help.
Im level 55. A beginner I know
This is one of the greatest achievements in gaming. The fact that you need 3 parries in a row to crit her is crazy enough. Throw in that if you miss one parry, she will kill you in the two hits that will follow your miss. Add on her insane arsenal of attacks and health pool, and boy oh boy, what an amazing fight.
1 hit cause lvl 1
The way he walked through the waterfowl dance honestly made me shed a proverbial single tear.
It couldn't be me fighting this half naked cave brute and watching him walk through my aoe anime slashes. I'd have just left. He's obviously on a mission and I am nothing but a checkpoint to him.
Just stay away from him and use Rock sling😈 he's not doing shii
Hes using Bloodhound Step
@@wollny92 They are talking about the last flurry, also this was 3 weeks ago when people knew less about the game.
@@bubbleburster2813 you're saying that like he didn't walk thru da anime slash
There are seven hits in the water fowl attack, in 3 groups, the first group has 3 hit boxes (all with audio cues). This one is best avoided by running away, if she does it when standing next to you, run away and then dodge diagonally to her right side. The second group has 2. You diagonally into her. The third (3 hitboxes) can be really hard because of how she'll manipulate your camera. It'll snap onto her part way through the third waterfowl, and you roll back. Otherwise, you can roll forward slightly before this camera change happens. Takes about 4-6 hours to learn, but you can speed it up by doing some runs where you don't hit her and just learn the dodges.
Malenia feels like she would be incredibly fun in Sekiro. Just image parrying the entire Waterfowl Dance.
I thought the same thing. I want an art of war to add the Sekiro parry system to a sword just for this fight.
@@lanceareadbhar You can add the regular parry to a sword using an ash of war
I've read in places that that was possibly an unused animation for a Tomoe boss fight, since it has a lot of similarities with the Floating Passage and Spiral Cloud Passage combat arts (both of which mention Tomoe in the description).
@@ctographerm3285 I wish this had been in some form of dlc, we never get to fight tomoe but hear her mentioned plenty, would be awesome as a boss I bet
She would have made more sense in Sekiro.
That's insane, this guy is in another level.
The true parry lord.
Just did this today (well, RL1 solo parry kill, can't say no damage), and it's crazy seeing how much of what I had to learn you doing beat for beat. But the real crazy thing is instead of giving yourself any additional advantage, you just did the same strategy over and over, like... 10 more times. Seriously, no bleed, no high damage dagger reposte. You are nuts! I'm still really happy I beat her RL1, but it just goes to show despite feeling like I mastered a fight, there's still Ongbal to give me some perspective.
ur insane bro
It's insane how quickly you recognise waterfowl in phase 2 and switch out ash of wars. Any time she jumps in the air I'm basically panic rolling like a headless chicken
At least she's warning the gamer that something is up (literally!)...
at level 1 no dmg is the only way, margin for error is 0, extremely impressive

@@ziggyrow7534 all real all doable tho difficult...
@@ziggyrow7534 Of course it's real. There's a guy out there that's done iirc ds1, ds2, ds3 and bloodborne all back to back hitless. Compared to that mastering a single boss is easy.
I accept I will never be this good.
I cheese most of my boss fights
i've been in multiplayer assists where there's three of us. Overleveled, over buffed, summoning mimics, and still running around like chickens with our heads cut off hoping to not be the poor soul in the AOE ball of sword attack. This is incredible.
i dont think you can use spirit ashes while in other peoples world
You can just fight them near one of the walls at the left as soon at you enter the arena so she gets stuck at them during her waterfowl dance
yeah this ended up being my experience, bully her towards a wall and then blend her. And then after the big flower attack in the phase 2 transition, everyone just spam swarm of flies. She was dead in seconds.
I don't think its really possible to be overlevelled with malenia.
That sounds about how I beat her. No real skill. I randomly picked Oleg the dual-wielding banished knight and found out he is really good at stun locking her. Then I just wail at her when she's distracted and turtle up for every other attack, including the murderous fowl dance. I frantically try to brute force her second phase by chugging estus and wailing on her to kill her as quickly as possible. Literally can't even see any of her attacks since I didn't try to dodge when she's blasting from above me. Never knew there was an attack where she sends her spirit at you. Like fighting a giant by smacking their leg and not being able to see 90% of their attacks. Headless chicken indeed.
Your videos have inspired me to start a SL1 playthrough myself.
I shall be posting videos of myself beating every boss in ER at RL1 without getting hit! And after that I will come up with different creative ways to fight each boss like you have shown. Love your videos! Thank you for being such a great inspiration!
This video makes me very interested in learning how to parry for her. Malenia is basically a Sekiro boss and that whole game was close range parrying and deflecting. In addition, this might be the one fight where being Light Loaded might be incredibly helpful against her.
Light load really helped me against her & Maliketh.
@@preyo6511 yeah it’s something I don’t often hear too many people speak of. It’s such a helpful tactic just to get better rolls and quicker runs. Especially when the boss is faster than you.

@@obito_0525 Got to be a reason for light, medium and heavy load. Pretty sure light is slightly faster than medium. Trying to get my str up so I can achieve light load with rad's armor and 2 halberds.
@@Zigarius1123 for real, people say light load difference is so negligible it's not even worth it, but even the slighted different is speed is very useful against this boss.
Plus, most people get immediately one shot or Comboed anyway, have light Armour on shouldn't matter if you're usually one shot regardless lol.
What is so impressive with this fight is the consistency. I have been trying to repeat it, and one mistake ends the run. I can get to her second phase, but just one mistep and I'm back at the start. Really impressive consistent parrying my man!
I can only imagine the hours spent practicing this fight. To get to this level is to go EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!
I mean my guess is that he has been grinding skill on souls games for 10 years, so his mind and body are one united daoist wave of cold water, with all knowledge of parrying, blocking, dodging. So by the time Elden Ring comes along, he is ready for anything
if you know ongbal he did it in two tries.
Lol he’s only level one I bet it didn’t take him long at all to get to it :p
Ok goku 😄
The minutes spent downloading a parry bot you mean?
When you see a seemingly frail man in loincloth with a measly club in his hand, RUN
Managed to finally beat her myself after about 6-7 hours of trying using Dual Daggers (Black knife & Blade of Calling). I never ever could figure out how to dodge her Waterfowl Dance so I ended up just using Bloodhound Step and booking it across the room every time. I actually studied your previous video to try and learn the parries...but couldn't do that either haha. Insane gameplay as always! Looking forward to how you handle the last few bosses.
For waterfowl seems like you roll away, roll in, then backout or roll out, then go in for punish
@@JogBird probably worth noting he's using bloodhound step for the first dodge in this video.
@@JogBird Oh yeah, I've tried but my timing/spacing was always off and I ended up being the one to get punished haha.
i find it interesting how long it takes people to figure out how to dodge her combo, as someone who didnt really care for the other souls games/is basically a newcomer, it seemed pretty obvious distance is key after getting one shot by it once or twice >.
@@JunJunisKing Well, yes and no. Even when if I booked it across the room the moment I saw her winding up her Waterfowl Dance, she would still catch up to me, so for the last 1-2 slashes of it I had to bloodhound step backwards diagonally to not get clipped. It's a little more than simply keeping distance, because she covers a whole lot of distance. That paired with the fact that since I was using daggers, if I wasn't close enough to smell her breath my attacks would whiff so I had to REALLY get all up in her business as much as possible. But yeah I dunno why it took me so long either haha, I spent a lot of that time trying to be cool and parry her before I gave up and just went back to simply dodging as best as I could.
Honestly would love to watch a full game playthrough with this lvl 1 wretch just owning everything. 😁
I remember that after killing her I felt exhausted and like a god since I did it without summons or help from other players at around level 120, and I managed to do it just because I abused bloodhound step and used the normal claws with absurd levels of bleed in them.
This guy is just nuts and it reminds me of when I started helping people out with this boss like 7 days ago, i got summoned along with a naked wretch, that guy OBLITERATED the boss, the host and I just sat in the ground and saw how this mad man killed malenia without getting hit, it was excruciating.
Edit: if anyone’s wondering, this motivated me to begin my journey as a level 1 wretch, so far I’ve gotten to the yellow Godfrey, has been pretty fun ngl.
Edit2: I have 2 things to say:
1.-yay already beat Elden ring as rl1
2.-why are there so many salty people about the fact that I used bloodhound step? Lmao
I managed to bat malenia second try with just the stone of gurranq, a scythe and some flies but yeah, those naked guys are terrifying
@@thehogfather5872 honestly I liked killing her with claws and bloodhound step since it felt like fast paced gameplay, the only reason I got killed a ton of times was that bullshit attack she does in both phases, I never learned how to dodge it properly so I just spammed bloodhound step lmao.
I think it took me around 35 tries? Like 10 for killing her first phase and 25 her second, her second fase was only hard because of that one attack where she levitates in the air, summons scarlet rot skeletons as attacks and creates a small air current that soft locks you if you enter there.
The only attacks that killed me in this boss were the ones that soft locked me and deal constant damage, if that didn’t happen I could’ve easily killed her in 10 tries, it’s a tough boss but not as most people make it seem, it’s pretty fun to play against her.
@@salarmer1633 i got her second phase down to 25% first try then got snagged by her flower, i realised the cleanrot knights scythes ash of war was pretty worthless early off against her, i just spent most of the time learning all her moves.
Second try i managed to do it nearly hitless until right at the end where i got snagged right at the end by the little explosion at the end of her big flurry.
Did something similair to sister friede in ds3, did her near hitless first try.
THEN ON THE COMPLETE FLIPSIDE I'M STRUGGLING TO BEAT GIDEON OFNIR
In dark souls when you got invaded by a naked guy you might as well force quit the application because you are going to die and lose all your souls xD
@@salarmer1633 she’s tough for people who don’t use bloodhound step or shields
Your videos inspired me to do a level 1 only run and so far it’s been pretty epic! It is not easy at all, but it teaches you patience and it helps you become a great player.
This is one of the most masterful displays of skill I've ever seen.
4:57 I thought you couldn’t even dodge this. I was in awe seeing how flawlessly you dodged though!
You inspired me to perfect this boss fight. I hope I can do/become even a little of what you display.
This is what gives me hope in my next encounter with her. I gave up trying to do it solo after getting to her phase 2 on my own and then only getting there a handful of times after additional solo attempts. I originally planned to only use a summon to quickly get to phase 2 to practice it more, but after she was still tough, I gladly ended the fight and was just relieved not seeing her stupidly broken combo anymore. I get the tracking and the multiple phases of it, but does it really have to catch me when I am 50 feet away trying to run for my life.
Remember they're light encumbered. Rolling is faster or something. If you want to roll out of it yourself, you may not be able to unless you strip.
@@somebodyintheworld5036light rolling takes the same but goes further,so it is good for dodging moves that require good positioning,that being mostly barrages,moves with a lot of active frames and breath like attacks
What why? That doesn’t even seem hard lol
Just a tip for future fights OP, assume EVERY move can be dodged. It may be difficult, but I've yet to find something that I can't dodge with careful movement and/or the rolling mechanic.
Bro the outspacing, perfectly timed rolls, and parries, you really do have the mark of a true lord
It was a pleasure being alive to witness this. Thank you
All the parries were impressive, but what I found most impressive were how each Waterfowl ended up the same way. I'll have to remember to roll through her 2nd burst. Good show, cheers :3
Him evading the first one was so impressive as I tried rolling and running and still took damage, but never found the timing of running then rolling away. By the end I was panic rolling and considered it a victory if I was still alive when it was over.
In case you didn't see, he was using Bloodhound's Step for long distance and long-lasting I-frames.
@@vigkvagkv2 I didn't even see and even after watching it again I still can't see lol. Need to get my eyes check. You got the time for it?
@@trh3xa174 0:58 as soon as he starts running away he switches off his buckler so he can use Bloodhound's Step on the club. You can see the name of the skill on the left side of the screen
@@vigkvagkv2 That was pretty normal. Everyone can use bloodhound step like that. What I couldn't believe was how he dodged the 2 follow up combos by just running through her. Wtf she looked so stupid missing everything while he was just walking around, not even rolling.
I was so inspired by this I went to learn the parry timing for her. I've only managed to get one critical in, but I am determined to practice more until I can reach this level.
You can do it. His videos gave me the patience to try and practice, over and over. In the end…

Pls practise something useful in your life.
@@Priestitude you are right unless it is your job or you have nothing else to do and you are not seeking anything in your real life you shouldn't invest anymore time in this than you have to!!
Ignore these two... Practicing parrying is for sure more useful than spending time being smug in the comment section of a gameplay video.
@@asdhh8866 get a life dude
Someone show this to Kai when he finishes the game 😅
This guy is from another world, how can he parry like that?! It's so perfect, unbelievable!
Shadows die twice!
COOL COOLER COOLEST
@Kermit with an AK I've been practicing parry but I'm not even close to what he does, every enemy has different timing which make things even harder
Malenia is basically a sekiro boss in a souls game. This man played sekiro
4 months tip, i believe buckler has the most parry frame of all parry shields, use it if you want to parry things
“You’re strength… Extraordinary…
The mark of a true Lord..”
Truly a spectacular performance!
I salute you, Tarnished!
I don't know what hurts more: the fact that it took me 57 tries on lvl 130 to finally beat Malenia, or watching this video in contrast. Nice job though!
I did it too, but not at rank 1, and I drank the remedies, and with that, it took me 14 hours. It was crazy. I showed it to us as a very easy thing. A really great video, and I knew its magnificence after I tried to kill her in the same way.
Seriously well done, consistently reacting to the fast swings without predicting is much harder than it looks
Radahn only managed to fight Malenia to a standstill at the cost of his sanity.
Guess he should have brushed up on his parrying instead.
I parried her twice early on, and thought the game was showing me she couldn' be parried. Knowing that she can and it takes 3 is deeply upsetting.
-Your strength, EXTRODANARY
That line means a whole other thing in this video
I'm curious how much of a pain it must've been to journey to her but holy shit you are truly a legend, I'm impressed but I know I'll probably won't ever be this good like you but you're truly amazing and the fact you were able to beat her so quickly with such a low level character is saddening but impressive to me, it's honestly nice to witness.
You can just travel to her using cheat engine
Even at lv1, Hoarfrost Stomp is pretty powerful. You can solve most of the difficult parts with this :)
@@CeNe10 aight cool
@@CeNe10 telling this in the comments of a guy who uses skill to break that game without actually cheating.
@@jdogzerosilverblade299 using cheat engine to travel is not cheating if the purpose is beating the boss he did not use cheat to beat her
For my own reference:
- Evading Waterfowl Dance 0:58 -> Bloodhound Step Away then roll into her then let her fly past you by slightly walking towards her
- Punishing Slow Double Slash 2:15 -> L1 during wind up for first slash then roll away roll away then punish with jump attack
- Evading Scarlet Ionia Bomb Attack 2:34 -> slowly walk towards the bloom during her lock on then start running to evade
Dam it’s serious serious 😂😂
@@dopefreshness77 Well I can not Mimic Tear her for all eternity...😆
This video inspired me to practice parrying
The skill radiating off of this video is amazing
Man, and I'm here on level 130 and can't even get to her second phase ^^
Incredible as always, ong bal!
Bloodhound step got me through this fight in the end as mage. On her third swipe just dodge into her and she totally misses you. Really helped on second phase also as she couldn’t touch me.
Buckler and club is the only way
Yep, I beat her solo melee without the bloodhound step on my first play through and I am never doing that again, took me 7 hours to beat.
Still on my first play through about 55 hours in. I have bloodhound step but not using it. Only Fire giant, black blade, malenia and end boss left. Saving all the magic and bloodhound for ng+ so I can be like most people and cheese it. Melee all the way on first pass.
@@Zigarius1123 If you haven't beat the fire giant, you still have like 30-40% of the game left.
@@DanPlayingGames I've done pretty much everything else though. Other than a few bosses I don't see what else there could really be.

옹발 선생은 인간 TAS이십니다
It's so captivating to watch your videos! The time you took to recover into the parry loop after 5:00 is the true mark of your skill to me. That shows that it's not just about muscle memory, you have incredible gamesense.
I have one question, if someone could help me understand it, it's greatly appreciated: when Malenia does the Waterfowl Dance, I see that you unequip the Buckler. Is this for timing reasons (e.g.: the input works as an internal metronome Ongbal uses to keep the rythm of the moveset), or is it for dodge effectiveness?
I think it's so he can use bloodhound step
@@MrMoon1303 ah, makes sense! Thank you for your answer :)
Both this and your other video explaining her Waterfowl dance were not only a great show of skill and mastery but they also helped me immensely during the fight. After 127 or 128 attempts I finally won.
@Kermit with an AKI beat the game previously and I wanted to do a SL1 play-through and beat all the bosses so I pretty much just copied their loadout.
@Kermit with an AK that depends, i killed her solo and with summons, on my first playthrough i just wanted to finish the game, i tried for about 25-30 times and she kept killing me, decided to summon mimic, killed her within the next 4-5 tries. on ng+1 i was able to solo her at lvl 170, took me like 45-50 tries the second time, almost decided to summon mimic a second time but something inside toldme, if you wanna feel like you really beat the game you must kill her solo. finally i did, bleed build, patient as fuck, looking for gaps to hit her. and it worked, plus she used the waterfowl dance like 4-5 times during the whole fight, was able to avoid completely two of them, when i heard "your strenght extraordinary" dude i went to heaven. stopped there but prolly will start a ng+2 journey to beat the shit out of her again in less attempts.
It's so satisfying seeing how you know all the proper spacing for bating and evading! Amazing work!
I beat her at level 100 on +24 i think, after she step on me for 3 days straight... im a souls veteran and im ashamed of it not only because of how long it took but also why, you see, after my first few dozens of attempts on my first day i heavily relied on Mimic Tear when all i needed to do was just learn a few extra things about Phase 2 and go full on 1v1... this for me was the hardest fight ive ever endured and not even Midir or Gael from recent memory, can even hold a candle to her... now i think shes kinda easy because i have every move engraved into my brain hahahahaha
malenia is for sure the hardest if you suck at parrys. i played all fromsoft games and i never got so hard stuck xD
@@hanzosucks6813 Bruh even with mimic she is still gatekeeping me xD
I watched a streamer take around 220 tries just to beat her with a mimic tear and Dex/Int build.
@@gatsu7742 damn that's a lot, who is he/she?
I use a colossal weapon and no shield... i refused to change my loadout and stuck to it and oh boy do i feel good about it!
I did cheat on that rule a little bit because its nigh impossible to dodge her flurry of attacks so had a dagger on my second slot infused with Bloodhounds Ash of War lol
A new form of art. I feel honored to witness such greatness.
What a f legend! And finally a guy who actually shows his HUD so there’s not a massive bar of health hidden spread across the screen
4:57-5:07 Probably the most exquisite and jaw dropping 10 seconds you'll witness in your life.
Keep rollin' rollin' rollin'
Truly inspiring
Yeah, that sexually aroused me.
This is absolutely incredible, and also really inspirational. I'm level 153 and still can't always get her to second phase. Hats off
After 6 hours i deafeted this boss, just to see this... Life isnt fair (amazing game play tho)
He probably died more than you, tho
@@Yaboi27 Fr he struggled to get here
This man probably spent more time trying to do this then the combined time of all your boss fights combined
@@taesito1816 a day for a boss is still a lot of time lol
Freakin insane!!! This man fully grasps the mechanics of this game to a mastery
As a former shinobi I've been playing a mostly parry build, especially after getting Carian Retribution ash. I still haven't fully grasped it and often end up wondering why that hit didn't get parried and just pass through the shield (hitting me and draining all my stamina), but I did use parry to great effect against Malenia and a certain endgame boss. I ultimately ended up using the Mimic Tear eventually because I was getting fatigued from playing the (frankly draining) game for two months and wanted to reach the ending within this week, but in order to keep the Mimic alive for long enough to be useful I had to get good at parrying Malenia through the first phase anyway. It was just so satisfying to parry those attacks and retaliate with a mace to the stomach.
Also: it's possible to not only survive but completely evade the insane slashes when so close to her when she leaps? What dark magic is this?
Perhaps you are aware, but notice he's using a light shield with 'Buckler Parry'. Medium shields require slightly anticipating the attack and parrying as the attack is ABOUT to come out, while light shields parry quicker and can be used more reactively without anticipating as much.
As a former shinobi, I appreciate this comment
Can we just appreciate on how Malenia literally uses High Monk ?
it was always the best combat art
Whats that?
She also uses a more mobile Spiral Cloud Passage
the kick? it's more reminiscent of a move from the purple ninjas
@@vitorvena bruh you didnt play sekiro
So. I just killed Malenia thanks to you. No summon, no shield, no magic. I watched so many times your moves to perfectly dodge his deadly attack. I tried again and again. Thanks you so much !
@Kermit with an AK ok let me ask what you beat her with full build and lv
@Kermit with an AK you prob lvl 200ed her
@Kermit with an AK Nothing wrong with abusing those, it's a game fucking mechanic smh
Damn it, ONGBAL, can you please slow the hell down with these god gamer moments you shove onto our unworthy faces? Your mastery is smothering us.
Loving these boss ownage sessions such as this. They're a nice reminder for players that there's a tier for madlads who don't need overpowered gear and spells. Just a refined sense of patience and skill.
Loincloth Shura here is in such a tier.
And here I am thinking I had to use my mimic tear to beat her…. Now I REALLY feel like I didn’t accomplish anything lol. Your strength, extraordinary…. Amazing job man!
You are the most consistent and impressive player ive seen
Well, have some people that made a run playing dark souls 1, 2, 3, demon souls, bloodborne and sekiro in a row without taking a single hit on all those games
Your skills have impressed 100k of us congrats!
Impressive. I've never been able to parry reliably, even after watching dozens of how-to videos since DS1.
Me neither. No issue with Bloodborne or Sekiro with practice. I should try the buckler shield as I think that has a larger party window. I tried parrying, but gave up quickly with the Heater shield, once I realized I needed to do it three times in a row and I couldn't handle that kind of pressure.
You can also find the golden parry ash of war at the Leyndell Capital entrance. It's supposed to have a larger parry window too.
I died precisely _102 times_ to a Crucible Knight early game just trying to get a grip on how normal parry works in ER. The conclusion I came to was that either the window was apeshit tight like 1~3 frames, or the parry windows _vary with each attack pattern._ The thing is, I still have no idea how normal parry works at all.
I saw some posts that said that instead of their weapons their *hand* positions are to be focused on, but in my experience it worked the best RIGHT BEFORE the enemy's weapon comes crashing in - the very moment of "anticipation" should I say.
That being said, Buckler's parry feels a lot more "consistent" and "believable". Every parry build I used during the playthrough had Buckler shield as a main parrying shield.
@@locomotivo4644 lunges by npc's are usually unblockable. Idk if that carries over to parry though. Yeah light shield all the way
This is the only type of players where Malenia's dialogue should say at the end "Your strength, extrordinary..." and "O, dearest Miquella, my brother...I have finally met...A GOD."
You my hero dude, I learnt so much from this. I finally beat Malenia solo tonight. No armour, buckler, rivers of blood and bloodhound step when needed from close range. Thanks, what a legend!
This man already surpasses the modded Sekiro Bosses. Your normal Elding Ring bosses would choke against this man.
Sekiro is easier than Elden Ring tbh. Once you learn to deflect in Sekiro, the game is trivial and the deflect window is massive compared to the parry windows in Dark Souls or Elden Ring.
@@RickyG93 with charm sekiro is easier but charmless sekiro is pretty difficult as well
@Rui Kagami there's a charm that you get from kuro that if you get rid of makes the game more difficult since you'll receive chip damage if you don't block correctly and a few other things. Still doesn't make it anywhere near as hard as this which is an actual one shot death.
Elden Ring/Souls Community: This is the hardest boss fromsoft has come out with!!
This guy: 🤷♂️
tbh, Malenia is. she's supposed to be a Sekiro boss that's why she's literally different from the other bosses in the game.
