“If you Malenia me…if you Malenia me” 🤣🤣🤣 The panic/despair/repressed rage that would’ve ensued if Maliketh got back up 😭
This cracked me up as well because of the way he uses "Malenia" as a verb haha
That be hilarious
I thought malekith was hard till I got to malenia. Wiped the floor with forn 1 haven't lasted 20 secs with form 2. Just annihilated me
Malenia is like a cheat mode boss
Another way to Malenia you...imagine...just imagine...Maliketh with lifesteal 😭😭😭
Malenia: " waterbreathing 12th form, fuck you"
Malekith pulling some new shit out of his ass: "blood demon art, rotating circular slashes"
Lmao i feel this
Loll Yh Malenia would definitely be a water breath user.
@@arryn786 Her Waterfowl dance almost seems to be a reverse Dead Calm. The AoE slashes are the same, but its an attack instead of a defence.
@@rakshithanand8262 oh yeah I can see that. Or maybe an elaborate striking tide. Would be cool to see what would happen if she used her waterfowl dance against Giyu’s deadcalm
the golden comment
As for the stuff with Maliketh, here is the short of it: I can't remember if you met him during your playthrough or not, but he is the same Beast Clergyman you meet in northern Dragonburrow and give Deathroot to. The fragment of the rune of death was stolen from his blade, and he chose to live as a solitary priest with the rest of the weapon sealed inside of him so no more of the rune of death could be taken. There's actually different dialogue if you progressed his story before fighting him by giving him all the deathroot in the game, and you learn a little more about who he is. Much like Blaidd was both Ranni's shadow, protector and half brother Maliketh was all the same to Queen Marika and she tasked him with wielding and protecting the rune of death.
To add to that - originally the power of destined death was wielded by the godhunt (godskin nobles and apostles) and their gloam eyed queen. However Maliketh beat their asses and sealed the power of the rune of death in his sword
Marika the piece of shit betrayed him and that's how the rune of death was stolen.
When you said “I think I’m overpowered” I thought that too until I realized how much astronomically harder maliketh is compared to the first phase
He’s apparently immune to holy damage or something
@@m0002856 not immune but he has extremely high resistance
in my oppinion hes harder than melania
hes weird, his atatcks are predictable, and his health pool is small, but once he starts hitting you your life can just evaporate.
His health pool is pathetic enough that I was able to brute force my way through the fight in like 5 atempts
It's crazy how afro really just be talking
"He does things in two's and three's."
Eats a four string combo
"I guess I've figured out everything he does,"
Fails to dodge a single attack and dies
The exact same thing got me lol. How confident he was saying these things only to be completely messed up a second later lmao.
Yeah that's why you gotta not let your ego put blinders on you.
That's what I like about his videos, unlimited amount of hubris that I get to watch getting smashed again and again. Radahn and Malenia were a delight haha.
"Oh Death become my blade once more..." One of the most badass lines in the game.
It's kül that you can get that dagger from behind the beastial sanctum down the cliff. To bad though both the dagger and the colossal sword don't work together.
@@Exerus "kül"
Sounded like a cool anime line
Maliketh was the second to Queen Marika who tasked him to guard the rune of death. However, a piece of his rune was stollen, being used to kill Godwyn (well, more like half-kill as this act created undead like skeletons) as well as kicked off the Shattering. Maliketh attacks you because he's super paranoid about getting his rune stolen after it got screwed with the first time.
Crazy part about it lore-wise he's the strongest boss in the game lol. Owns any demi-god.
when this series is finished i'm definitely going to come back and binge all of the episodes, best series on yt rn
Try Sekiro
@@Succubus_L0li like afros series or play the game? ive watched his series already
Honestly yesterday was the weakest one
Afro’s Sekiro playlist… it’s a sight to see
@@suprressed yes the sekiro playlist goes hard the whole guardian ape arc is amazing
I really wish you had interacted more with Gurranq before encountering maliketh. For me, it was such a shock walking through the fog door and seeing him. The transformation was amazing. The extra sentiment of knowing him beforehand was just great.
I’m not sure if Gurranq is Maliketh, because Gurrang is still there even after you kill Maliketh.
@@Vendettao1 its because there is no concept of time in farum azula. This is the reason why we went back into the past in placidusax fight
@@Vendettao1 they are the same person if you give gurranq all of the deathroot you get new special dialog when you see maliketh for the first time
@@danielx0055 they are confirmed diff
@@KyubiCloaks they are the same person wdym
To answer your question as to what the cutscene at the end means, Malekith is Marika's shade, kind of like how Blaidd is to Ranni. When Queen Marika became the bearer of the Elden Ring during her reign, she removed Destined Death, the aspect of guaranteed death in The Lands Between, hence why when we rest at a grace most enemies come back to life. Instead of death, their souls are essentially brought back to the Erdtree, where it sends them back to where they were before, making the cycle of life is everlasting. You can see how death and the Erdtree are connected when you enter dungeons and you see tons of bodies and skeletons surrounded by roots.
When Marika removed Destined Death from the Lands Between, she imparted it into her shade, Malekith. He has it in the black blade, which he wears inside the pendant on his hand. When he was first given Destined Death, Ranni stole a shard, just a shard, and gave it to this group of assassins that were hired to kill demigods, starting with Marika and Godfrey's first born son, Godwyn the Golden.
So when you beat Malekith, you basically brought back guaranteed death, lore-wise.
Been waiting on this one! Maliketh is easily my favorite boss in Elden Ring. Story wise, movement wise, its like a damn dance you have to get down that doesn’t feel too gimmick-y or
pitch perfect like Malenia. Also Maliketh is a badass, gives me Berserk vibes heavy.
His armor is heavily based off guts berserker armor
bro was a badass he even sealed death and other demi gods feared him
What makes this more special is that half of the damage hes doing isnt working as it should be because Maliketh is almost immune to any holy damage. Blasphemous blade helped him here big time lol
Is that his black blade or are you referring to Rykard’s sword?
@@michaeljarmer6106 rykard
No bro that's wrong! He is weaker to holy damage not immune. Maliketh lives in death that's where Holy damage is the best. Look it up!
@@michaeljarmer6106 ur thinking of Destin death that's what the ash of war is called for malakeths sword
@@artyomnoss6464 maliketh doesn't live in death, he uses destined death
I feel Maliketh doesn’t get talked about enough! I fucking love this boss!
Mainly because people would usually brute force the fight since he has such a pathetic healthpool and his second phase leaves him with less than 50% hp
@@gdzen4302 I had summoned someone who had a peculiar dex build using lightning damage on dual curved swords. Guy went toe to toe with Maliketh and I played a support role with buffs and heals. He ANNIHILATED Maliketh and got hit maybe once. It was epic.
Of course he doesn't get talked about. He spends way too long away from you having fun while you're just standing there like an idiot waiting until he finally graces you with the ability to do something. God I hate bosses like that. I feel like he'd be excellent in Sekiro tho.
He's my personal favorite soulsborne boss. I've fought him so many times and his incredible moveset STILL challenges me.
Really wish he got a buff, he is easily my favorite boss in this game, but his healthpool is such a let down, and the lowered HP effect should be stronger in my opinion, The Prison Wardens from DS3 are more of a threat than him tbh. Seemed like such a let down considering he literally wields the rune that controls freaking DEATH! In my opinion, someone with that kind of lore should be WAY stronger.
Just wanna say this is the first time in a long time ive followed a lets play type of series this consistently and never missing an upload. Keep up the great work my man, you always manage to put a smile on my face.
I’m amazed he didn’t recognize the beast clergyman, I’m sure he was using the rock spells
I think that if Maliketh’s second phase gave him full health or just given him more overall he could’ve contest Malenia for hardest boss
Edit: what the hell happened to the comment section
Beat him on the first try🤣🤣
@@JustNel my brother in Christ you used a faith build
@@JustNel my brother in Christ nobody asked
Yeah, at least he’s a more fair boss than malenia, minus the health drain his sword gives you when he hits you
@@okipullup.. nope... Strength and dexterity.. i also used my mimic so... Yeah
so sad we're coming to an end, but then again i know im gonna rewatch the whole series years from now ...
Thank you afro for all these memories
i will be rewatching till elden ring 2
agreed, such a great series!
@@minecraftfanatic862 u gonna be watchin forever : D
What’s the final song he plays in the vid I’ve been trying to find it but can’t
I’ve already started rewatching it and the series isn’t even over lol
You could also use the Blasphemous Claw that you took off of Bernahl when you killed him to counter some of Maliketh's attacks. His Black Blade will glow yellow on some attacks indicating that you can use the Blasphemous Claw to parry em.
I don’t even play games, but I’ve been watching your elden ring play throughs bc of how much fun you are. Thank you!
Not fire, DEATH. He’s literally hitting you with “destined death”.
AcTuAlLy, its STDs
Yeah that and Amaterasu
This is easily the coolest boss design in the whole game.
Fax not even trolling rn skull emoji to the square rot of 47 no cap
Reminded me if Laurence from bloodborne dlc
Godfrey has a Lion stand
@@Lloyd00 Godfrey is a close second imo
Placiduax is the coolest then maliketh imo
I enjoyed this fight so much, using bloodhound step while maliketh is flying around launching attacks at you will have you feel like you're in a anime battle
9:07
“Uh, getsuga tenshoo?!”
Bruh, the hesitant, half-hearted way he said that… 😂
6:48 ok, let me explain, the elden ring is basically the "code" of the world, all the laws of physics are supposed to be written there, like the law of casuality, and entrophy, each law is a rune, Malekith was Marika's shadow, Marika was the one who took care of the elden ring (she was not the elden lord, the elden lord is the one who take's care of Marika, so she is like the original "maiden"), so she took the rune of death out of the elden ring and bound it to her shadow giving her control over death, also the reason why there are so many skeletons and ghosts around. So that's why your health gets like that when you are hit by the sword, AKA the rune of death.
Thanks for the explanation i been wondering what the elden ring actually does for awhile
@@kadeemvaughn9 you are welcome, and at the risk of being redunted I would like to suggest VaatiVydia, he has made a few videos explaining that and more.
Maliketh*
@@wyvurn11977 Right, thanks for pointing out, I always mispell these names without noticing
@@boitata2617 Afro misspelled it in the title, so it makes sense. Your theory sounds good by the way
Maliketh's one of my favorites. Terribly fun in coop, except when 4:27 happens -- which, in over 100 runs, has happened a non-zero amount of times.
“Host has died”
Did he not ever go to Gurranq during his playthrough?
Can someone help me find the final song Afro uses in this video when the tree burns
@@NathanRedgrave Masayoshi Soken - Shadowbringers
@@Jason_Van_Stone YOU ARE A LIFESAVER THANK YOU!!
This is my favorite boss fight in the whole game, when he transitioned to second phase I lost it
Malekith: clearly a wolf
Afro: “fucked up tiger”
I was waiting for you to fight this boss I would say it’s a 10/10 and wanted to see you struggle but overcome the challenge
the first phase makes it a 7/10 for me
he did die like at least 20+ times, he just edited most of his deaths. Any boss that kills you over 20 times is a challenging boss or just a cheesy one.
What’s the final song he plays can anyone help me find it
@@PR1NCETD0T You don't know that lol
@@PR1NCETD0T But like, he usually does a montage of him dying over and over, like with malenia, when the deaths rack up.
Malekith is important because he as a shadow of Marika, has the rune of death bound to his sword. This rune is one of the main governmental powers in the lands between. It being bound also means the erdtree is undying. Meaning unbinding it does? Basically let's the giants flame have affect.
Fun fact, in the boss v boss mods some creators are doing, someone put Malenia in Maliketh's arena and she got wrecked, that's how powerful he is when he can jump around with his Destined Death debuff
“What the fuck happened to the capital?”
YOU happened, Afro. Your burned the Erdtree to the ground, blanketing once proud Leyndell in a thick cover of smouldering ash…
Leyndell was already fucked before you did anything tbh, what was remaining of it was being managed and protected by Morgott because he's the only one who cares anymore.
The things you get from his rememberance inflict his Destined Death debuff to enemies lowering their max hp and burning them, so using his attacks could be something to look into.
Amazing job. Really love your edits, especially the FFXIV music you put in.
This video is giving me more motivation to try him again when I can. Hopefully I won’t be as mad. Good job Afro
shoutout to our guy behind all of Afro’s thumbnails, that’s some real dedication and they look heeeella good. 🔥🔥
Afro, maliketh once guarded the rune of death (which was stolen by ranni) and was used to kill Goldwyn which caused the shattering, that’s why he says “I shall not have it stolen from me again” too
small correction, only a part of it was stolen by Ranni, but that alone was pretty much enough.
Maliketh has to be the coolest boss design-wise in the game right now.
lovin this series man,, cant wait to see the end.
Afro, to improve the build even further, do Alexander's questline. The reward for that is it improves the damage on weapon skills. Its a pretty quick quest since you have the whole map unlocked.
Yeah that + fire scorpion charm, Millicent prostatic and rotten wing insignia 👌👌
@@lelianarochefort3077 he needs NG+ or a good friend to get both of Millicent’s talismans
@@lelianarochefort3077 neither of Millicents talismans would work in this build. I’d use Marika Soreseal, Shard of Alexander, Godfrey Icon and fire scorpion charm. With flame grant me strength, golden vow he should be hitting 6k takers of flames easily
Also forgot to mention the physick that raises fire and faith.
I could be wrong but I think he locked himself out of Alexander's questline by not summoning him for the fire giant
Maliketh is my second favorite character only to be topped by Radahn, the design of both forms is absolutely astonishing with him being the main user and guardian of what’s probably the most powerful form of magic in all of the lands between, “Destined Death” aka “The Rune Of Death”
Being able to kill gods themselves. Yet sadly he was only a tool of his sister Marika and the 2 Fingers. In all of his items it talks about how he has slain even the strongest of champions especially with his going full guardian mode after Ranni stole the Rune Of Death the first time. Not to mention he has some of the coolest gear as a boss and gameplay wise, the heath drain and the lowered hp make for a astounding combo
The Only God Is Yahweh Repent your sins now Amen (Aw-mane)
You've got the best sound track bro. That anime fight climax is so good.
You’ve quickly evolved to be my favorite youtuber your energy is amazing
Previously on elden ring....
After killing the Coolest dragon in the game our hero unfortunately has met a problem. Bleed seems to glitch out phase 2 of bosses which would make thier fights meaningless. So he tries to make a new fire bulid which absolutely wont go wrong like last time. After getting his ass beat by a familiar duo who was unfortunately was victim of the glitch he gets to fight them again. However Afro decides one last bulid. Using a hideous sword combined with the blade Jesus himself. He fights them one more time to finally kick thier ass the way it was meant to be the first time. With his new weapons at arm what awaits Afro now? Will he find a harder challenge than maleina? Will this glitch suck the fun out of the ass beatings? And will Afro become elden lord? Next time on....

I'm so used to seeing the speedruns and people just steamroll Maliketh that I forgot he's actually a difficult boss lmao
maliketh is just really squishy for how late game he is, if he gets a second full hp bar on phase change he'd b much harder.
Been waiting on this video for a long time fighting my favorite boss, i enjoyed it very much thx afro
Absolutely love this series I’ll probably watch it again start to finish when you quit posting it
When I fought this boss I died so many times then one day I woke and the goku in me unlocked ultra instinct and I beat him with ease, afterwards I was like "wtf just happened?"
I have been stuck on him for a month now 😭
@@paytonsiciliano415 damn man that's rough, don't worry you'll beat him.
I was the same. spent like two hours fighting him went to bed and got on after work just to wreck him first try
@@paytonsiciliano415 are you on pc? id be a summon for you
4:03 Afro that's the dude you have to give the Deathrot to in Caelid and he gives you beast items. If you give him all 9 before the fight his dialog changes to remembering you being his friend
And he gets upset that you're coming for his rune lol
@@PlagueInjected whats fuuny about that? "lol"
@@GOJOpacklmaoo whoa, the funny police caught up with me!
Bro! Your videos make me laugh man! Love your content and your commentary! Keep it up
Maliketh was on of the most bad ass fights and coolest boss designs in the game....also he broke me and so did the dracosentinel before him lol.
Maliketh, the literal manifestation of the Berserker armor and gut’s Demon
I'm so glad somebody else thought that 😂 coolest boss imo
Maliketh*
Gotta give props to this man for making Elden Ring videos back to back even though he rages
Gotta say. I love your videos. Never laughed so much. Keep up the good work.
UA-cam is so stupid this is the third time i have had to turn notifications back for your channel
I actually might cry when this series is over 😥. Hands down best game ever created and it's not even close. Thank you for all the content makes me feel less alone when I watch them.
He was the main goddesses right hand, and she stole death away so that gods couldn’t be killed and gave the ruin of death to her main guard (the tiger), but a piece of the death ruin was stolen and was used to kill one of the gods so tiger in shame bound the main piece to his body so none of it would ever be stolen again, that kinda kicked most of this off.
Tiger?
Wolf all the way
He was a wolf just like bidded
dude, thats not what happenned at all. lol.
@@vault29a that's exactly what happened lol, unless you could correct what's wrong? Would love to be clarified fr
@@RuthwikRao maliketh is Marikas shadow like blaidd to aranni, given her by the two fingers, and marika did what always marika does - screw him over.
Watching these videos help me make my playthrough fun. I can go into a boss fight and still die a lot but know their movesets.
16:03 That whole cut with the shadowbringers music is **chef's kiss**
One of the coolest boss of elden ring by a mile, just wished he had way more health
He is my favorite boss ashame he dies so fast

I remember watching Afro when I was a kid and he had thousands of subs. Still blows my mind to see how far he’s come
great vid again afro! please attempt the death rite bird in conc. snowfields..
That's one heck of a legendary finish there bro 👏
It's 4:27 on a Sunday morning and i am up watching Afrosenju playing Elden Ring
I feel like i am making good life choices
Can you help me find that final song Afro plays at the end when the tree gets burned
@@NathanRedgrave bro i wouldnt even know where to look. Make a comment about it, someone else might be able go assist you
We must be in the same time Zone
With the Gurranq storyline the boss desing and the fact that the sceond phase makes it a delicate dance of death between his massive damage and the fact that he has such little health makes it the best boss in the game hands down
yoo wtf that maliketh edit at the start, dat was lit
yo playing shadowbrings ost at the end was so good haha
Use the blasphemous claw to parry the Black Blade Afro. This boss fight is so good and majorly underrated. How he can jump and hang onto the pillars and jump off and attack is so sick. Such a technically sound and polished fight. And I knew Gurranq was Maliketh lol.
always found it weird that a phase change as cool as maliketh wasn't a 2 separate health bar thing he gets in 2nd stage way too fast
I love the neir automata song in the background amazing choice of music my man
Loved the inclusion of that naruto ost you added in the final attempt
The importance of Maliketh is that he is the holder of the Rune of Death which is also Destined Death and with it being unbound by his death things can die again. He's protecting what is left of it after what you see in the games opening cutscene with Godwyn dying. He's just trying to stop you from what your going to find later on.
The fact that he’s calling the wolf a tiger is the funniest thing dawg I swear 😂
I’m pleased to say that you helped me finish my half marathon today afro. Thank you for helping me forget that I’m running 😭
I haven’t watched this vid yet but I already know it’s gonna be a banger
this has too be the coolest looking build I have seen in elden ring
Malaketh uses black flame. You can use it as a incantation. It does damage, lowers your max health, and slowly ticks away your health. It’s honestly broken. I use it in my build
Does the scarlet rot do the same thing?
@@moonie1825 scarlet rot Is basically a really longer poison with slightly higher damage
This series is amazing, Afro has the best commentary on these.
Also does anyone know what armor he’s wearing?
been waiting on this fight for a while! surprised he didn't use the finger thing to parry him though lol
It’s time to watch you do my favorite boss fight of all time! Also fun fact maliketh has different quotes if you complete gurranqs quest line
Wait really i didn't know that i am on my fourth journey and i didn't notice might have to do the quests again
6:33 that's the real Getsuga tensho
hell yeah afro, tthis was quite the treat to come home from work see! havent watched it yet but i know its gonna be good, ima grab the popcorn now xD
Trippy this is quite literally the exact setup I've been rocking @2:16 - Skeletal Mask + Sanguine Noble Robe w/ both the Golden Order Greatsword and the Blasphemous Blade power stanced. I knew you were a man of fine taste 👌🤌
Nice* good on you for being flexible with the build even if that was somethin, who knows how long till next patch
If you want a simple explanation: Maliketh was sealing destined death, the weird red run you touched in the cutscene after the boss. As the name implies, this rune is what lets people die. The reason you get runes and remembrance upon defeating enemies is because they return to the erd tree, so they do not truly die. However, by killing Maliketh, you let destined death affect the world once more. Basically, you've killed the dude that was sealing death
Maliketh is def my favorite boss.
Been rocking his armor since I got it. Nothing looks cooler imo.
I wear the helm with knight's cavalry chest and blaidd's arms/legs. It's pretty dope
His legs and gauntlets with the prisoner shirt is what I wear on my main character with a gold headband
"I DONT EVEN LIKE FROSTED FLAKES" had me dying! Awesome placement of that anime guitar shit at the end too.
I've been waiting for this one
I wouldn’t recommend using that holy sword. The last boss has insane holy damage negation, or it just doesn’t take damage from holy attacks. Either way, don’t use the holy sword.
Heals from it. Kind of silly since it's easy to pour all your upgrade materials into the coded sword and the lightsaber fists as a faith.
@@shumatsuplaran7251 yeah, it sucks how they fucked holy builds so hard in the end game but it makes sense lore wise i suppose
@@shumatsuplaran7251 At least those are just somberstone weapons. 1 stone per upgrade, and the game feels like it's littered with them.
@@madrex512 well only holy damage incantations technically as well as the ones that put status effects I suppose

Maybe I am, I did comment when the vid was out for 4 seconds 🗿
Dude these intros are insane ❤️
Lots of respect man for changing up your build just for us, and yourself. I'm sorry you didn't get to truly enjoy the gods layer duo but aye there is always new game plus
