Elden Ring - Malenia Blasphemous Blade Cheese

I hate this fight, a lot. I'm glad it's over. At least until I make another build.
The main strategy to this boss that I forgot to mention in the video is very simple: attack when her attention is on the Mimic (or co-op partner) and focus on evasion/defense when she's focused on you.

[@joshuabowers2920]

I used twin-blade up until Stormveil. Then Bloodhound Fang for the majority of my run. But, fell in love with Blasphemous Balde late game. That weapon art with its knockdown is the best.

[@rauldelgado7033]

Used bloodhound from the beginning up until I decided to switch and I just love the blasphemous

[@naimhussain6013]

When mimic tear goes for a strike then strike her after and then mimic tear deals another strike and you end up doing a combo

[@spwarce1937]

looked like an anime fight ....out of special power in last moment.....still gave it all and did it .....also u kept ur partner alive.....respect

[@treenoob6951]

i found that if you just run under her starting position when she does the bloom attack she just misses you

[@TonyArzenta]

Really? I'll have to give that a try next time I face her, because that attack usually OHK my lower leveled builds. Thanks!

[@HippioKass]

You coulda spammed atleast 4 Taker's Flames per Aeonia, you said you hate the move but its every Blasphemous Blade wielder's favorite 😂😂😂

[@TonyArzenta]

@@HippioKass I hate the "Atomic Flower Bomb" because 9 times outta 10 I fail to dodge it. This was my first go with the B Blade and had zero expectation of actually winning, much less any strategy other than spamming R2, haha.

[@HippioKass]

@@TonyArzenta figured you just did it out fo respect for Malenia, it is cheesy AF to do XD

[@TonyArzenta]

@@HippioKass Nope, just pure ignorance as I have no respect for this boss, haha.

[@khongphaikiet1807]

i use oil pot too, never thow it but my mimic do it for me :))))😊

[@TonyArzenta]

That's a good idea. I'll have to use that next time.

[@left4newbz]

I'll have to give the Blasphemous Blade cheese a shot in ng+. The stagger looks mighty useful. Nice win over her ^^

[@the.creature.has.escaped]

did this, somehow i did a crit during her transition from phase 1 to 2 and it skip her second phase, 10 outta 10 build would recommend

[@TheDiamondSea]

Ruins Greatsword works even better on her, in my experience.

[@TonyArzenta]

I don't play intelligence builds, so this weapon wasn't even on my radar, but I'll take your word for it.

[@Kuppancs.]

After 1 year of souls games I always say that these games are not difficult. They are unfair, but doable.

[@johneduardoctavianoiv9749]

Blasphemous Blade always do the trick for me against Malenia, Radagon, and Elden Beast.

[@Bob-iy7vg]

Bro reminded me of how overpowered my build really is with my multi element cheese options

[@TonyArzenta]

@@Bob-iy7vg Yeah, at level 150+ she can be beaten with little effort or creativity.

[@mainulislam9104]

I feel u bro...😢😢😢 she is a nightmare

[@АлександрБояркин-в9э]

Bro, you are my hero! I was ready to give up and drop the game, but with your video I finally killed her. Thank you very much

[@TonyArzenta]

I'm glad to hear it and thanks.

[@betweenredmd]

And now I believe you can’t knock her down with takers flame because they nerfed it

[@TonyArzenta]

@@betweenredmd Lame. Maybe they should nerf her bullshit healing ability or her virtually undodgable instant-kill attacks... Would be a cool fight if it wasn't so cheap. One of the worst bosses in all of the Souls games.

[@betweenredmd]

@@TonyArzenta you think she is bad wait til you get to the final boss of the dlc

[@Sjxxe]

I just killed her with this weapon it's my favourite one now

[@TonyArzenta]

It might be the best weapon in the game, honestly.

[@dominolucario2889]

BROOOOO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS IT REALLY HELPED

[@TonyArzenta]

Awesome!

[@erniethomason3101]

Thank you! I'm level 90 with 27 FTH. First time using Blasphemous Blade or Mimic Tear. After 50-100 attempts trying to solo with parry and misericorde (brutal), then resorting to whatever means necessary, this strat finally worked with my non-overleveled char. I put my time in and I don't feel bad I "cheesed" her. This fight is crazy tough. So happy I found your video.

[@TonyArzenta]

I'm glad to hear it!

[@ackers5861]

Level 90 is under-levelled for Malenia. She's a lvl 120+ boss on first playthrough.

[@TonyArzenta]

@@ackers5861 Tell me about it, but it's only that way because Fromsoft gave her absolutely OP healing on hit and a virtually un-dodgable (unless you're naked) attack that'll kill most >120 builds. Like I've said, she's a cheater and I hope Fromsoft never makes another bullshit, completely unfun, unfair boss like this again. Malenia makes the DLC bosses in DSII with bottomless health pools look great and expertly designed by comparison.

[@snaht1]

thats not cheese thats SPAM.
