You forgot Emma and Laxasia, but the fight was outstanding. One thing I ask is, can the unstoppable hunter NG+ pair (Gehrman and maria) hunt the lands between?
there is no reason the immortal couldnt of at least acted as a distraction for you. if he threw himself on the black mortal blade you could have stopped genichiro summoning isshin.
Friede winning because Malenia and Maria were too busy wailing on each other to acknowledge her is peak "Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing" energy.
@@Kazbulidait's because Maria too agresif and front she always become the target. Black flame can just spam her attacks from a far while the two at it😂.
To bad she can't use her gun for its actual purpose. I genuinely think if Maria could parry with it and visceral like she does in bloodborne this fight would be a lot closer in her favor.
@@nicolasrodriguezbadala1024That is a bug that FromSoftware patched long ago. It happens when bosses with phase transitions are sent to second phase with debuffs. They are left with miniscule health afterwards. Friede's grab attack somehow bypassed the "fix" placed by FromSoftware.
@@nicolasrodriguezbadala1024 that's actually playing it smart, if you're in a fight with more than one opponent, and KNOW that you are squisher of the two, best not get caught in-between and let the other two beefy meatheads at each other's throats, whittling down each other before engaging 'em.
That's 'cus she smart. She knows the threat the other two women poses if she get caught in-between. Malenia is probably the kind who will inflate her ego before the start of the fight, instigating the fight, with Maria quickly taking offense, putting putting her in her place. Meanwhile, Friede sits back 'n watches the two ladies have at it before jumping in and showing the two ladies what a TRUE girlboss is like, Dark Souls style.
During her second phase she was assisted by Father Ariandel and she was less agressive during this phase is suppose she have the same behaviour with other npcs in the room, Friede is the most willing to attack during her third phase.
And that's what a Battle Royale fight is all about. Waiting for the right opportune moment to seize victory, by any means necessary. Fight smarter, not harder. Harder does not guarantee victory. But, first time? And besides, Friede barely did ANY significant damage here compared to both Malenia, and Maria. And Maria's health was buffed up to compensate not having any phases. Otherwise, she would've died a lot quicker.
You can see that her HP is already much higher than the other 2. At the beginning of Fight 2 they all lose around 700 HP and Maria's HP bar decreases by about half of what Malenia's does, and less than Half of Friede's. Since Friede only gets 2 phases instead of her normal 3, and Malenia's second phase starts with decreased HP, it means Maria already has more HP than both of them. Which is weird because the stats on the wiki show that Malenia's first phase has 33k, while Maria only has 20k, so I Garden would have had to have tripled Maria's HP for this
Nah... Friede's 2nd phase is by far her easiest and most passive. I don't think it would add much substance to a fight (unless it's really close) since she hardly uses melee attacks and just jumps around spamming the ice floor@@NeloBladeOfRanni
@godqueensadie problem is that Melenia and Freid both have transition animations that cannot be attacked, while Lady Maria is instead vulnerable. Also her being so aggressive with one health bar means she ends up fighting both Melenia and Freid constantly even while one of the other's is transitioning to the next phase.
@dippykumar not to mention, they have entire health bars where they use their strongest attacks while Maria uses her strongest in the last like quarter of hers. Plus, she can be hurt during her transition into those attacks
If she wasn't nerfed, they would have a hard time even taking out her first health bar. She is also not as aggressive as she is ususally with players. Sister was about the same with players and im not sure about Maria. Still awesome fight.
Even crazier when you realize that neither of them hit Maria and they ended up hitting each other instead, and right away their 2nd phases were triggered
The only 3 female bosses that fucks us all, and not in the way that everyone would like, unfortunately, in one room? I wasted three weeks on Friede, two on Maria, and 5 or something on Malenia. Imagine fighting three at once. I would rather throw myself onto the concrete from the window than do anything.
I'm most afraid of people on the roadside. Because as soon as I walked out, I was instantly killed by various monsters. But nothing happened to those people on the roadside. The monsters don't fight them.
It always surprises me how DS3 and BB fans cry so much even though the bosses have many advantages to make them interesting. The reality is that the bosses in later games will simply be better, it will happen to Malenia when DLC or another future FS game comes out.
@@raydark100 yep!! Cant wait to see what the dlc has in store for us, I'm still upset we still haven't even gotten a trailer for it😅 although I have a hard time imagining something that could consistantly beat Malenia😂
What happened to Malenia's health in the first duo battle? She came in as Goddess of Rot with like 5 health. EDIT: And in the final phase fight Friede didn't have any Blackflame? What happened?
There's a bug where if you manage to start her phase 2 by bringing her to zero health using a status effect or riposte, she'll start phase 2 with 1 hp.
@@Vi-Six I got that to happen once by trading with her grab attack. She ended up skipping the Scarlet Aeonia and instead started phase 2 by continuing the grab animation but with like 10 health.
Yeah talking about our Shenanigans. Melania: By the Elden Ring these Tarnished are a pain in the but. Everytime I go all out they all get horny just because I show some skin like they never saw a women. Friede: I feel that, the Ashen ones call me thicc goth mommy while drooling all over the place. Yesterday I slipped because of it after kicking one of them in the ass. Like what the hell even is a "goth"? Maria: Oh yeah? Tell me more! Everytime I wake up I have to stop these degenerate hunters from having their way with my fu**ing dead and smelly corpse. But as if this isn't allready enough, Nooo my former teacher felt the urge to make a lookalike sexdoll of mine and offer it to those freaks for usage.
Imagine being Malenia and getting robbed of your most important ability and realizing that people think it´s perfectly fine and fair to take your lifesteal away. She is the only one who get´s constantly nerfed in this videos to make it entertaining. That says alot about her power.
while it is true she is nerfed, there would be no point to the video if it were left in. she would win 100% of the time. that ability is too broken, especially with multiple opponents. it doesn't say a lot about her power. give any boss that ability and their difficulty spikes (as long as you are fighting them level appropriate). its a BS ability that she should have never had. taking it away makes it more fair, giving it to her just makes this a Malenia slaughter fest. its manageble for players because we can think and dodge and make plans around it, the AI clearly isn't going to do that. Maria is way too aggressive and would just feed her HP constantly. the very fact that she needs to be nerfed to make the videos entertaining says everything that needs to be said about how broken and unfair that ability is. clearly, she is plenty strong even with out it. she is able to go toe to toe with the leading ladies of the other from soft games.
She is a literal cancer build. Like she literally infects you with cancer and then gets long reach and lifesteal on top of that. It's funny when Elden ring came out they nerfed radahn but never nerfed malenia
@@pard2397 nah they would. If you legit switched radahn for malenia and made malenia the gravity bow person they would crap on them too. Part of why malenia is disliked is basically the same reasons rivers of blood isn't liked. It's a terrible mechanic that breaks the game
Man if Maria actually had bleed and Friede actually had frost of thier weapons, Malenia would be done for, I know she has rot but that big chunk of dmg cannot be outmached by dmg over time. Also I miss Emma and her Gentle blade, she would have been a perfect addition: she's a great waifu, has a waifu weapon, she's really fast and has those cool moves, we could have gotten a waifu duo vs waifu duo :( great vid tho keep up the good work man love ya
In fact, Malenia's biggest weaknesses are Bleeding and Freezing, Maria and Friede use those skills, if GOY had applied them with that, Malenia would be finished.
I get it people complaint about Maria doesn't have extra 2nd health was unfair but she's already got buffed, her max health more than Friede and Malenia. She also had power up when she's half health that already boost her stats and strength.
Yeah, the thing is that Maria is from a game that favours a way more aggressive playstile and faster movement in general than the other two resulting in overshooting her attacks etc. That a important part of her kit did not work didn't make it better. Similar problems for Friede. Melania also had important parts of her kit missing to balance it at least a little. In the end both worked quiet good for that. Videos like this are a nice to watch but thats it. Its just for fun and no accurate methode of power testing.
I could imagine Gehrman and maria saying to each other “You wanna team up on the people we both have beef with?” And they just team up and screw over the others (if using they’re NG+ stats though)so that they atleast have a chance. Great idea.
What feels rough for Maria, while staying thematically accurate, is that she has mainly single-target damage (because beasts don’t tend to act in groups), whereas the other two had wide-reaching AoE attacks. Reflects the difference between skirmishes in tight Victorian streets versus armies and battles across open medieval fields.
[Friede]: Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an old hunter. [Maria]: What about side by side with a friend? [Friede]: Aye. I could do that.
So Malenia needs lifesteal as a crutch to cheese victories, despite her already having a LOADED kit where she literally doesn't need it anymore than what she already has? Talk about wanting your own cake, and eat it too. 😂
Imagine ayer in sol 664 showing up... The 3 of them looking up at her: who the heck are you!? Ayer: I'm the one who will extinguish your flame, bleed you dry, and tarnish your waifu status.... Title card:
I think we are forgetting how strong Maria is in this battle. Like she is tasting the ozone layer at times and then enforced to take a dip in the waterfowl dance. It’s mad.
Something I learned while watching this video. Maria and Friede have a strong synergy with each other, Maria is a headstrong fighter and Friede looks for openings to engage while supporting with her ice magic. If Fried was just a little more aggressive and had combo attacks, they would be a very strong duo.
Taking away lifesteal from Malenia wasn't making it more fair, it was just handicapping Malenia. They should all fight with all the tools and abilities they actually have.
I still don't get why Malenia didn't got her second health bar in 7:32 XD Even though she pretty much destroy both Maria and Friede with original stats... That's lore accurate stuff.
I feel like for all the fights' variations, not having a _single_ showcase of Malenia with her lifesteal still functional and the other two not arbitrarily immune to Scarlet Rot totally misses the core of the Malenia experience, even if she still wins a lot of the fights. Like, sure turn them off so that you can get some more interesting fights out ofnthe matchups, but at _least_ show Malenia at her _actual_ in-game power *ONCE.*
@@Tausami _“Malenia with lifesteal is just a test of whether your DPS is higher than the lifesteal is.”_ *…THAT'S LITERALLY THE WHOLE POINT OF HER FIGHT IN AI BATTLES, DUDE.* It's interesting to see if they can manage to get through her healing and trigger her phase 2. It's interesting to see if Malenia can just utterly wreck them and essentially remain at full health. _That stuff all works just fine, and it's interesting to see, so… not sure what you're in about._ Instead, you just listed off all the reasons that everyone already knows for why this channel always pits the _primary matchups_ in configurations that nerf all of Malenia's key abilities in order to showcase all the different attacks weaving around and through each other. *No one was saying not to do that, **_and I even explicitly stated why it makes sense to do that for the majority of them._* You didn't list even a single reason why there shouldn't be *_at least ONE BATTLE_* actually showing Malenia with all her mechanics intact - _which is what I was clearly talking about._ Exercise reading comprehension before replying.
I disagree. I don't watch these to see which of the bosses has the biggest dick damage numbers, I wanna see how their movesets deal with the other's. How a slower, tankier boss might handle a faster boss, or how a ranged caster might deal with a high mobility duelist-type of boss. DPS race? Ew. If I wanted to see big numbers, I'd just smack the ankles of some golems until I hit them five digits.
@@PierceArner What's so fun, let alone interesting about seeing a one-sided fight where a boss with a LOADED kit can out-damage (rot debuff), outlive (lifesteal + 2nd phase), and out-maneuver (Malenia's wings) other AI bosses? We already know how broke af Melania is for no reason, so your request is pretty unrealistic, simply 'cus it wouldn't be a fair fight if it were.
@@Evil_Beauty Because it serves as a point of reference to see the strongest boss _actually functioning as designed and implemented in-game_ for exactly *_ONE. SINGLE. FIGHT._* because THEN you get a sense of how toned down she is from her baseline, and can have a better sense of how she stacks up against the others. Again, nothing about the implementation of that is unrealistic because _it requires _*_less work_*_ than removing her abilities_ which again, *I STILL SUPPORT FOR ALL THE OTHER BATTLES, BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM MORE INTERESTING TO WATCH AS I HAVE VERY CLEARLY STATED.* Lastly, while you may baselessly complain Malenia is "broken for no reason" - *_she's not._* Malenia represents mastery of the most renowned sword techniques in The Lands Between which operate on a counterattacking & swift strike technique used to allow her to fight and best any who oppose her while _both literally blind AND missing limbs._ Her entire moveset is based around her slow, quiet walking or moving in the air so that she can hear the opponent, and then shifting into immediate & aggressive dashing attacks. Her life-stealing is because her sword techniques are meant to react to an oncoming attack and disrupt the opponent, while ensuring her enemies don't have the luxury to guard or fight passively to wear her down - they have to beat her by being better. This is why she regains her strength from combat any time she lands a blow, because she has never been defeated and gets more invigorated by challenge that could actually move her from her position of power - as mastery of her sword technique are about constant movement & evolution of which she is no longer capable because she has no opponent able to push her to continue to develop further. When you're at the very top, there's nowhere else to go. That peak turns into stagnation and rot, and she embraces that as a weapon to remain powerful when she might be defeated. She has been fully consumed by decaying at the very top. That's why, in order to overcome Malenia's challenge, you have to beat ALL the things that fundamentally define her character so that they won't take hold of you. They are just as much a part of Malenia's character as the mod's adapted status effects of Lady Maria's burning Accursed Bloodflame and Hemorrhage from her own Cainhurst lineage mirroring the Omens' link to the Formless Mother in The Lands Between. If anything, Lady Maria should have Malenia's same lifesteal given that Malenia's Great Rune enables the exact same type of healing granted in *_Bloodborne_* to the player character - and she doesn't have an ability to make use of the Stagger & Critical with her Visceral attacks. Sister Friede seizing a mere spark of the First Flame being the Blackflame just like the fragment of power the Godskins wield of the Rune of Death became the heavy Blackflame in The Lands Between clinging and burning away at the life force itself. Friede's devotion to the Age of Dark even after being burned and retreating into the Painted World with her Frostbite status effects communicates that same cold. There are design, thematic, AND gameplay reasons for the implementation of status effects on the bosses that have them in the core game, and in their respective games, just as there are for looking at how to bring in those other games' bosses to *_Elden Ring_* with mods. Essentially, pitting them all against one another is spectacular but it makes sense to have *_JUST. ONE. SINGLE. FIGHT._* that shows them ALL as they truly are. It'll be so short, the people not interested in it likely won't even have time to be bothered by it, because there's no question who the strongest is among them.
@@PierceArner I am SO not reading all of that wank post, especially coming from an obvious Melania stan justifying how overloaded her kit already is with lifesteal. I don't need a lore breakdown to know how much of a HUGE game changer that is for Melania in literally ANY competent boss fight, gameplay wise. But Melania, NOT broken lol? PLEASE, tell me you're trolling. 😑 Like, I couldn't care less if the Goddess of Sh*t has mastered the art of chopping Tarnishes like slicing through a brick of gold Elden Ring butter. No one is impressed. And that's NOT what the majority of people came here to see. Let alone the POINT of these boss fights. Nobody came here to watch Melania's ret*rded display of strength with the way of the sword, or whatever bs powers she has accurately depicted in lore within a GAMEPLAY setting. People came here to see a FAIR FIGHT between bosses to see how well they interact with each other when compared to their respective in-game universes. But the reason why I said it's unrealistic (for a lack of better wording), is because if you're gonna argue for Melania to have her lifesteal ability, even if it's for a SINGLE fight, then you have to apply the same argument for the OTHER two bosses Melania has to face. And that includes giving Maria her gun, and parrying skills in BB, and Sister Friede's 1st phase (not counting base) with Ariandel (but have him do nothing, because he's useless anyway) to make it an evenly fair fight where all characters are at their peak, while still keeping the audience satisfied. Because as your intial argument suggest, you wanted to see Melania display her wack a** powers at her peak, then you have to literally do the same for the other two ladies in this fight as well. But no. You're only vouching for Melania, and ONLY her to have her lifesteal ability (which technically isn't even something she should've had, lorewise), simply because she's your favorite. Which again, goes back to me saying that it's unrealistically impossible to do without favoring Melania, and not compensating for the others, GAMEPLAY wise. And that's the story as to why we see Melania got nerfed here. Because she is already strong with lifesteal, when the other two literally don't even have access to their OWN CORE GIMMICKS for this fight for you to even be wanking up Melania in her having lifesteal ability in the first place. But bravo for making a pointless wall-of-text in bad faith that goes to show that Melania is literally NOTHING without a cheap gimmick when faced against Maria, and Sister Friede without any respective gimmicks of their own.
I love how Maria only losses because she doesn’t have a second health bar like the other two, she survives all the way till Malenia phase 2 but just falls short.
There was a second attempt and she easily beat both in the 2v1. Showing the 1st attempt was useless imo. It was a bug that's been patched 1 year ago where she starts at 1hp if you phase with a repost

orphan and ludwig over maria, definitely not Laurence but I guess its the same thing@@virael3801
I want to see Ongbal fight all three at once 😂
He probably would
@@matterking1no hit as well
It would be heaven for him.
Since they all walk in their initial phases, it's probably manageable fighting only one of them while others slowly walk towards you!
And not a single round had Malenia with her lifesteal... not even in the duo vs her. She hard destroys both even when heavily nerfed😂
I can hear your crying from across the internet
@@stiven355 she literally won buddy, the outcome didn't even change with her being heavily nerfed. 😂
you r the one who is crying i think and also lady maria has like 50000 hp or higher and she still lose XD@@stiven355
It always surprises me how DS3 and BB fans cry so much even though the bosses have many advantages to make them interesting. The reality is that the bosses in later games will simply be better, it will happen to Malenia when DLC or another future FS game comes out.
@@raydark100 yep!! Cant wait to see what the dlc has in store for us, I'm still upset we still haven't even gotten a trailer for it😅 although I have a hard time imagining something that could consistantly beat Malenia😂
What happened to Malenia's health in the first duo battle? She came in as Goddess of Rot with like 5 health. EDIT: And in the final phase fight Friede didn't have any Blackflame? What happened?
Rigged ig
The first thing was because the round ended with her with a grab attack, so it bugged her out. As for the second one, she did use Blackflame actually
There's a bug where if you manage to start her phase 2 by bringing her to zero health using a status effect or riposte, she'll start phase 2 with 1 hp.
Normally you can't kill phase 1 Malenia with grabs and such. Only normal attacks do. But Friede's grab attack did so that's why it happened.
@@Vi-Six I got that to happen once by trading with her grab attack. She ended up skipping the Scarlet Aeonia and instead started phase 2 by continuing the grab animation but with like 10 health.
OMG 9:42 THE THREE OF THEM MAKING THE SAME MOVEMENT THAT WAS SO AWESOME
Imagine those three forming a travelling adventuring party that journey across the lands destroying gods and empires
5:20 peak cinema
friede's little 10s switch that lets maria and melania wail on each other is a sneaky advantage
5:19
wow they jumped in same time.
Friede my beloved.
Meanwhile, Ariandel, Gehrman and Miquella are watching like: 0.0
8:50 "Look at Randy Orton slitherin- OH WATCH OUT WATCH OUT! RKO! RKO OUTTA NOWHERE!"
very very very well done. i had good time cheering for each one during each fight! keep going!
Oh my gosh they are all so beautiful!
9:42 When they both activated a phase in their traditional fights and Maria actually started with a jump attack, along with Friede was sick af.
Am I the only one who can see them sitting down have tea together
Yeah talking about our Shenanigans.
Melania: By the Elden Ring these Tarnished are a pain in the but. Everytime I go all out they all get horny just because I show some skin like they never saw a women.
Friede: I feel that, the Ashen ones call me thicc goth mommy while drooling all over the place. Yesterday I slipped because of it after kicking one of them in the ass. Like what the hell even is a "goth"?
Maria: Oh yeah? Tell me more! Everytime I wake up I have to stop these degenerate hunters from having their way with my fu**ing dead and smelly corpse. But as if this isn't allready enough, Nooo my former teacher felt the urge to make a lookalike sexdoll of mine and offer it to those freaks for usage.
omg it was so epic! attacks were flowing from everywhere, all of them were so quick and graceful and lethal, it was a feast for the eyes
Imagine being Malenia and getting robbed of your most important ability and realizing that people think it´s perfectly fine and fair to take your lifesteal away. She is the only one who get´s constantly nerfed in this videos to make it entertaining. That says alot about her power.
Le quitaron vida y su habilidad principal 💀
Malenia: "I have never know defeat."
while it is true she is nerfed, there would be no point to the video if it were left in. she would win 100% of the time. that ability is too broken, especially with multiple opponents. it doesn't say a lot about her power. give any boss that ability and their difficulty spikes (as long as you are fighting them level appropriate). its a BS ability that she should have never had. taking it away makes it more fair, giving it to her just makes this a Malenia slaughter fest. its manageble for players because we can think and dodge and make plans around it, the AI clearly isn't going to do that. Maria is way too aggressive and would just feed her HP constantly. the very fact that she needs to be nerfed to make the videos entertaining says everything that needs to be said about how broken and unfair that ability is. clearly, she is plenty strong even with out it. she is able to go toe to toe with the leading ladies of the other from soft games.
She is a literal cancer build. Like she literally infects you with cancer and then gets long reach and lifesteal on top of that.
It's funny when Elden ring came out they nerfed radahn but never nerfed malenia
@@pard2397 nah they would. If you legit switched radahn for malenia and made malenia the gravity bow person they would crap on them too.
Part of why malenia is disliked is basically the same reasons rivers of blood isn't liked. It's a terrible mechanic that breaks the game
Man if Maria actually had bleed and Friede actually had frost of thier weapons, Malenia would be done for, I know she has rot but that big chunk of dmg cannot be outmached by dmg over time. Also I miss Emma and her Gentle blade, she would have been a perfect addition: she's a great waifu, has a waifu weapon, she's really fast and has those cool moves, we could have gotten a waifu duo vs waifu duo :( great vid tho keep up the good work man love ya
In fact, Malenia's biggest weaknesses are Bleeding and Freezing, Maria and Friede use those skills, if GOY had applied them with that, Malenia would be finished.
Bro literally forgot malenia having no healing and rot☠
Okay give them that and give her healing and rott then
I doubt they'd win if she had her full kit too
That double jump attack from Maria and Friede after going into ther final phase was insane!
"Since I am the Elden Lord can't I have more than 1 queen?" - Tarnished
I get it people complaint about Maria doesn't have extra 2nd health was unfair but she's already got buffed, her max health more than Friede and Malenia. She also had power up when she's half health that already boost her stats and strength.
Yeah, the thing is that Maria is from a game that favours a way more aggressive playstile and faster movement in general than the other two resulting in overshooting her attacks etc. That a important part of her kit did not work didn't make it better. Similar problems for Friede. Melania also had important parts of her kit missing to balance it at least a little. In the end both worked quiet good for that. Videos like this are a nice to watch but thats it. Its just for fun and no accurate methode of power testing.
What if? Waifu Trio vs Old man Trio(Gael, Isshin, Godfrey)
Gael, gherman, Godfrey because maria/gherman from bloodborne Melania l/Godfrey elden ring and frieda/gael ds3
@@soullsX Fair
@@soullsX Hopefully they port Gherman soon
I could imagine Gehrman and maria saying to each other “You wanna team up on the people we both have beef with?” And they just team up and screw over the others (if using they’re NG+ stats though)so that they atleast have a chance. Great idea.
That Friede at 7:50! True queen
Malenia didn’t get any health for her second phase that was unfair as hell
Give my girl her life steal back for at least one attempt c’mon ❤
What feels rough for Maria, while staying thematically accurate, is that she has mainly single-target damage (because beasts don’t tend to act in groups), whereas the other two had wide-reaching AoE attacks. Reflects the difference between skirmishes in tight Victorian streets versus armies and battles across open medieval fields.
[Friede]: Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an old hunter.
[Maria]: What about side by side with a friend?
[Friede]: Aye. I could do that.
4:41 how nice of them to let Maria transform before rushing her
its pretty rare a solo enemy can give as good as they get when standing in the middle of malenia's bloom...
Female Boss in Soul-like: Fire, Ice and Blood
Male Boss in Soul-like: Guns and Swords (Murica)
Lady Maria is such a tank dude, dang
He buffed her healing
Well, Lady Maria need it, as she is the only with one HP bar.
Before she went invisible, Friede is a walkover compared to others. Once she goes invisible though along with her other attacks, the others are done.
Blud turned off Malenia's lifesteal and thought we wouldn't notice💀
He said he would in the video
So Malenia needs lifesteal as a crutch to cheese victories, despite her already having a LOADED kit where she literally doesn't need it anymore than what she already has? Talk about wanting your own cake, and eat it too. 😂
@@Evil_Beauty pfff nerfing to malenia looks better?
@@cristianreyojeda engrish?
@@Evil_Beauty ja! :(
Letmesoloher cames and joins the fight and get ganked, then he summon his second fhase and became "LetMeSoloThem" and beat all the 3.
12:00 Malenia using aeonia clone jutsu
5:18 i like how both friede and maria jump at the same time doing the same attack with different weapons and different effects.
I don't care if it's impossible to win PLEASE let us fight all three at once in some sort of hollow knight pantheon type beat
Imagine ayer in sol 664 showing up...
The 3 of them looking up at her: who the heck are you!?
Ayer: I'm the one who will extinguish your flame, bleed you dry, and tarnish your waifu status....
Title card:
All hail friede, the new Elden Lord
I think we are forgetting how strong Maria is in this battle. Like she is tasting the ozone layer at times and then enforced to take a dip in the waterfowl dance. It’s mad.
The Maiden Astrea theme opening was just... awww 🤌👌👩🍳 💋. Just wonderful
That denial at 1:48 was beautifully timed.
Now you gotta do Gael, Godfrey, Orphan of Kos, Artorias, and Fume Knight
Is no one going to talk about the seamless transition between malenia and friede at 1:30?
And the triple jump at 5:20
Girls! GIRLS! You don't have to fight over me, you know I can't beat any of you
Something I learned while watching this video. Maria and Friede have a strong synergy with each other, Maria is a headstrong fighter and Friede looks for openings to engage while supporting with her ice magic. If Fried was just a little more aggressive and had combo attacks, they would be a very strong duo.
7:28 I think Malenia's health glitched out there.
10:20 And Friede's did right here.
The most relevant and fair enough video at the moment. Respect, buddy
Maria too aggressive for her own good😂
Seriously their awesome abilities thrown against each other makes them even more epic. And there's no way in no hell I'm getting near that.
What happened to Malenia's health bar during the first Duo vs Malenia fight?
got eviscerated I guess
I think it has to do with the frost status as she goes into her 2nd phase, it’s a glitch.
If she gets grabbed or grabs someone her health bugs out
Taking away lifesteal from Malenia wasn't making it more fair, it was just handicapping Malenia. They should all fight with all the tools and abilities they actually have.
All I'm saying is If they get added to the mod, Frenzyflame friede would go NUTS
Lmao I wanna see Slumberflame Friede. Like the sleep flame from Miquella’s torch.
I like how close that fifth fight went when Maria did not have to deal with second phase BS.
Ah my sweet Lady Maria... I knew she wasn't gonna do well, but dang that was bad
Shadow of the Erdtree Expansion:
Waifu Trio
Gift for those who thought godkin duo was hard enough
I still don't get why Malenia didn't got her second health bar in 7:32 XD
Even though she pretty much destroy both Maria and Friede with original stats... That's lore accurate stuff.
Odd that Malenia is not healing from every hit she is doing.
Love how Friede actually beat Malenia using the riposte glitch on her 😂
I feel like for all the fights' variations, not having a _single_ showcase of Malenia with her lifesteal still functional and the other two not arbitrarily immune to Scarlet Rot totally misses the core of the Malenia experience, even if she still wins a lot of the fights.
Like, sure turn them off so that you can get some more interesting fights out ofnthe matchups, but at _least_ show Malenia at her _actual_ in-game power *ONCE.*
@@Tausami _“Malenia with lifesteal is just a test of whether your DPS is higher than the lifesteal is.”_ *…THAT'S LITERALLY THE WHOLE POINT OF HER FIGHT IN AI BATTLES, DUDE.*
It's interesting to see if they can manage to get through her healing and trigger her phase 2. It's interesting to see if Malenia can just utterly wreck them and essentially remain at full health. _That stuff all works just fine, and it's interesting to see, so… not sure what you're in about._
Instead, you just listed off all the reasons that everyone already knows for why this channel always pits the _primary matchups_ in configurations that nerf all of Malenia's key abilities in order to showcase all the different attacks weaving around and through each other. *No one was saying not to do that, **_and I even explicitly stated why it makes sense to do that for the majority of them._*
You didn't list even a single reason why there shouldn't be *_at least ONE BATTLE_* actually showing Malenia with all her mechanics intact - _which is what I was clearly talking about._
Exercise reading comprehension before replying.
I disagree.
I don't watch these to see which of the bosses has the biggest dick damage numbers, I wanna see how their movesets deal with the other's. How a slower, tankier boss might handle a faster boss, or how a ranged caster might deal with a high mobility duelist-type of boss.
DPS race? Ew. If I wanted to see big numbers, I'd just smack the ankles of some golems until I hit them five digits.
@@PierceArner What's so fun, let alone interesting about seeing a one-sided fight where a boss with a LOADED kit can out-damage (rot debuff), outlive (lifesteal + 2nd phase), and out-maneuver (Malenia's wings) other AI bosses? We already know how broke af Melania is for no reason, so your request is pretty unrealistic, simply 'cus it wouldn't be a fair fight if it were.
@@Evil_Beauty Because it serves as a point of reference to see the strongest boss _actually functioning as designed and implemented in-game_ for exactly *_ONE. SINGLE. FIGHT._* because THEN you get a sense of how toned down she is from her baseline, and can have a better sense of how she stacks up against the others.
Again, nothing about the implementation of that is unrealistic because _it requires _*_less work_*_ than removing her abilities_ which again, *I STILL SUPPORT FOR ALL THE OTHER BATTLES, BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM MORE INTERESTING TO WATCH AS I HAVE VERY CLEARLY STATED.*
Lastly, while you may baselessly complain Malenia is "broken for no reason" - *_she's not._* Malenia represents mastery of the most renowned sword techniques in The Lands Between which operate on a counterattacking & swift strike technique used to allow her to fight and best any who oppose her while _both literally blind AND missing limbs._
Her entire moveset is based around her slow, quiet walking or moving in the air so that she can hear the opponent, and then shifting into immediate & aggressive dashing attacks. Her life-stealing is because her sword techniques are meant to react to an oncoming attack and disrupt the opponent, while ensuring her enemies don't have the luxury to guard or fight passively to wear her down - they have to beat her by being better.
This is why she regains her strength from combat any time she lands a blow, because she has never been defeated and gets more invigorated by challenge that could actually move her from her position of power - as mastery of her sword technique are about constant movement & evolution of which she is no longer capable because she has no opponent able to push her to continue to develop further.
When you're at the very top, there's nowhere else to go. That peak turns into stagnation and rot, and she embraces that as a weapon to remain powerful when she might be defeated. She has been fully consumed by decaying at the very top. That's why, in order to overcome Malenia's challenge, you have to beat ALL the things that fundamentally define her character so that they won't take hold of you.
They are just as much a part of Malenia's character as the mod's adapted status effects of Lady Maria's burning Accursed Bloodflame and Hemorrhage from her own Cainhurst lineage mirroring the Omens' link to the Formless Mother in The Lands Between. If anything, Lady Maria should have Malenia's same lifesteal given that Malenia's Great Rune enables the exact same type of healing granted in *_Bloodborne_* to the player character - and she doesn't have an ability to make use of the Stagger & Critical with her Visceral attacks.
Sister Friede seizing a mere spark of the First Flame being the Blackflame just like the fragment of power the Godskins wield of the Rune of Death became the heavy Blackflame in The Lands Between clinging and burning away at the life force itself. Friede's devotion to the Age of Dark even after being burned and retreating into the Painted World with her Frostbite status effects communicates that same cold.
There are design, thematic, AND gameplay reasons for the implementation of status effects on the bosses that have them in the core game, and in their respective games, just as there are for looking at how to bring in those other games' bosses to *_Elden Ring_* with mods.
Essentially, pitting them all against one another is spectacular but it makes sense to have *_JUST. ONE. SINGLE. FIGHT._* that shows them ALL as they truly are. It'll be so short, the people not interested in it likely won't even have time to be bothered by it, because there's no question who the strongest is among them.
@@PierceArner I am SO not reading all of that wank post, especially coming from an obvious Melania stan justifying how overloaded her kit already is with lifesteal. I don't need a lore breakdown to know how much of a HUGE game changer that is for Melania in literally ANY competent boss fight, gameplay wise. But Melania, NOT broken lol? PLEASE, tell me you're trolling. 😑 Like, I couldn't care less if the Goddess of Sh*t has mastered the art of chopping Tarnishes like slicing through a brick of gold Elden Ring butter. No one is impressed. And that's NOT what the majority of people came here to see. Let alone the POINT of these boss fights. Nobody came here to watch Melania's ret*rded display of strength with the way of the sword, or whatever bs powers she has accurately depicted in lore within a GAMEPLAY setting. People came here to see a FAIR FIGHT between bosses to see how well they interact with each other when compared to their respective in-game universes. But the reason why I said it's unrealistic (for a lack of better wording), is because if you're gonna argue for Melania to have her lifesteal ability, even if it's for a SINGLE fight, then you have to apply the same argument for the OTHER two bosses Melania has to face. And that includes giving Maria her gun, and parrying skills in BB, and Sister Friede's 1st phase (not counting base) with Ariandel (but have him do nothing, because he's useless anyway) to make it an evenly fair fight where all characters are at their peak, while still keeping the audience satisfied. Because as your intial argument suggest, you wanted to see Melania display her wack a** powers at her peak, then you have to literally do the same for the other two ladies in this fight as well. But no. You're only vouching for Melania, and ONLY her to have her lifesteal ability (which technically isn't even something she should've had, lorewise), simply because she's your favorite. Which again, goes back to me saying that it's unrealistically impossible to do without favoring Melania, and not compensating for the others, GAMEPLAY wise. And that's the story as to why we see Melania got nerfed here. Because she is already strong with lifesteal, when the other two literally don't even have access to their OWN CORE GIMMICKS for this fight for you to even be wanking up Melania in her having lifesteal ability in the first place. But bravo for making a pointless wall-of-text in bad faith that goes to show that Melania is literally NOTHING without a cheap gimmick when faced against Maria, and Sister Friede without any respective gimmicks of their own.
5:18 was the coolest part
Sister Friede won the first round by chance lol Maria and Melinia killed each other
She just playing smart
I love how Maria only losses because she doesn’t have a second health bar like the other two, she survives all the way till Malenia phase 2 but just falls short.
Yo Malenia hade A chance at winning the duo fight where second phase go? 7:30
There was a second attempt and she easily beat both in the 2v1. Showing the 1st attempt was useless imo. It was a bug that's been patched 1 year ago where she starts at 1hp if you phase with a repost
