Hi! Looking forward to this video

final boss of course 😭

[@madengineerkyouma]

Rellana and the final boss were the only two that gave me trouble with my greatshield build, but with my beast claw build, Gaius was the worst.

One thing I've learned about this game... when I start to get *legitimately* angry, it's time to put down the controller and try again another day and/or do something else in this game. When I'm angry, I'm not in my right mind. If I'm not in my right mind, I won't do anything right.

[@Unf0rget]

No boss has the same heights of a skill ceiling like Malenia does. She curves from frustrating to immensely satisfying the more you piece her wide attack set together. I've been hoping for something similar on the dlc menu, but I'm almost done and while entertained Malenia remains in a class of her own.

[@gmrules100]

Dodging waterfowl that effectively on her first attempt is genuinely one of the most impressive things I’ve seen Taryn do in the souls games

[@Mylesthemyth]

One of the best tips for malenia for her waterfowl dance is to just throw any pot at her, stops her dead in her tracks.

[@Wadusher]

Especially freeze pots, the frost proc has another layer of stagger to it.

[@Sonic44885]

​@Wadusher frost roc also has the same property as bleed procs in that they do a percentage damage

[@TrairFrair]

If the pot has a guy named Let Me Solo Her attached to it, it just stops her dead.

[@logancooper3625]

It's still a SUPER tight window to do that, though. Especially if you have to stop for a second to cycle to the pot, and then throw it. Doable, but still not a brainless baby mode cheese. Might be the go-to for the level 1 Malenia fight, though.

[@andureas]

@@logancooper3625 you dont really have to cycle to the pot if you have your flasks in the y+d-pad slots or whatever the equivalent is on a ps controller, then you can just have your throwable of choice ready all of the time. this even has the added benefit of not having your heals be input read.

[@yddragon100]

They might've gotten sick. Both their voices dropped I think.

the cynthia music is just such a perfect match how did i never consider the cynthia/malenia match in "will beat you up and become infamous for it"

Malenia being the Cynthia of Elden Ring is a correlation I neuer knew I needed. (Also look at these Elden Ring Nails during the sponsor 😮)

@@Helba00 the thing with Malenia is, she's the only boss that when you kill them, you have to wait a few seconds for her dialogue to play out before it gives you the great rune, i think because the rune wasnt added to her inventory, it doesnt count.

same thing happened to me with that commander guy in the swamp. doesnt count until the enemy defeated text hit before the you died text hit. rot is terrible. also my hard drive deleted my save too thankfully my cloud save was only about 20-30 hrs behind my hard drive save but im still trying to scrap that progress back.

funny thing is you can just cheese him by making him follow you through rot geysers cause hes dumb and slow enough to get hurt by them

[@exemplar7205]

One thing i would recommend to you both as well is a Teo video, its named something like this took me 237 deaths, when he finally kills her, his determination to go tell his wife at the time was amazing lol it reminded me because of Nick having to go to the shop whilst Tayrn is attempting (and manages) to beat her.

I'm glad you used the Cynthia theme for the intro montage. Malenia fills me with the same dread that Cynthia did back on the day lol

[@orohyuno]

Nice one, that last Boiled Crab she ate was almost a mistake, she just needed to heal twice and rush in for a guaranteed jump attack while Malenia was recovering from the Scarlet Aeonia... But she let her get up and I could feel the despair to land that last hit~ lol

Mad respect to the people who suffer through bosses like that without using spirit ashes. It only took me 3 attempts to beat Malenia with my mimic tear, but without it I'm sure I would have been there for days!

Just don't completely troll your defensive aspects and you'll only be there for a couple hours tops. Not wearing the heaviest armor and defensive talismans is like a self-handicap.

I used mimic with blasphemous blade, only took two tries and I was happy my strategy and build worked.

[@Falzyker]

"You won't be maidenless forever" Girl you overestimate us.

[@abstergames]

What makes malenia so hard is her waterfowl attack plus every time she hits you she gets some of her health back so it can go from one step forward to two steps back in a second definitely the hardest boss in the base game but the feeling you get when you finally beat her is amazing honestly beating her is an achievement in itself so to all of us who have beaten her well done and to those who have yet to stay determined you got this.

[@Angi_Mathochist]

I didn't actually find Malenia to be the hardest boss. I found Maliketh to be harder. Malenia was a brilliant combination of hard AND fucking amazing. I am not very good at fighting. I take advantage of cheeses wherever I can and stumble through. So this was not easy for me. I tried different weapons until I found one that worked. It took several days worth of attempts. And the amazing thing about this fight was that that waterfowl dance is SO BEAUTIFUL that I was just in open-mouthed awe even as she was killing me. She's just absolutely gorgeous.
