Elden Ring - Malenia fight - Mage build

[@aloofaloofing2859]

I knew when you weren’t wearing armor at the beginning that this was going to worth watching.

[@lordquindecim]

I heard you got +dominance for not wearing armor haha, thanks!

[@RebeccaBrunner]

Tbh that's just mage life though. The flashy robes don't help much

[@gopackgo1412]

nice display of patience at the end -

[@roderickrideaux3247]

Okay!!!! I would have spammed every spell lmao

[@enpi-me]

yea I was like this is total BS she's just spamming attacks at the end : it wouldn't surprise me if she's scripted that way to kill greeders

[@MasterCorvus]

Amazing run and very good dodge rolling, also that casting timing was on point!

thank you

[@lordquindecim]

GREAT! Same with the misericorde I suppose

[@SnazzyArcade]

This was like dancing, I was mesmerized the entire time.

[@InZaWoods]

I'm currently doing an int build, and I wanted to look up a few successful attempts on hard busses to see feasibility, even soloing. Good stuff!

[@n8276]

I tried this build on a new character and got my first Malenia solo win. Ty my friend :)

[@lordquindecim]

welcome

[@velocirock7421]

You helped me a lot on NG+, I've never used an Int build before now. I went double regal scepter, double staf of loss with a Dark Moon GS, then finally I had Golden Vow on a dryleaf arts. First half was ranni moons and night comets, but ironically enough all I did in phase 2 was two hand the DMGS and bonk her to death. I guess no matter how smart my character gets they will always resort to unga bunga in the end. Thank you so much!

[@lordquindecim]

welcome, glad this helps, its fine its your playstyle, I have DMGS but i cant bonk her she just keep slicing me to death 😅

[@pjharro]

Thanks heaps. I finally beat her with your help. I was inspired by your dodging and picked up my game on that front

[@lordquindecim]

Thank you ❤

[@chadveez4908]

Wow only difference with my run is second phase she keeps doing her million slash sword dance to me at least 3x

[@lordquindecim]

I always die to that waterfowl dance at second phase, I just got lucky this time.

[@rafaelfreire3380]

😂😂 Mine also apparently Malenia doesn't like me. 😅

[@alvaropalacios4983]

@@lordquindecim I was thinking you got extremely lucky when she did'nt use it. But those combos were equally difficult, you kept enough space to be safe and made it.

[@lordquindecim]

@@alvaropalacios4983 thank you, i resorted to keep dodging till i find an opening after trying to dodge-hit-dodge-hit then eventually die 🤣

[@OG-es3hn]

​@@lordquindecimwhat was your player level, I dont want to be too op

[@wealllovemerylstreep7037]

I tip my hat off to you. I needed to summon 2 other players where they just jumped Melania and didn't allow her to attack while I played the background spamming black blade! 😅 In order to win. This was illustrious!

[@lil_human_6969]

As for someone who has very bad medical problem with concentration and attention from the very childhood, it'll be an honor for me to put Malenia 2 meters deep in the ground. Already done all bosses except her. Don't even want to try co-op with someone, want to finish it by myself to know fo sho that even person with my condition can do this game by myself 💪🏻

[@wiseausrs]

At first I thought you might have just had some great RNG on P2, but your spacing was impeccable and it kept her AI locked into an easily exploitable pattern. You outplayed her perfectly. Thy strength befits a crown.

[@thenerd7392]

I love your social distance Gotta be aware of the virus

[@lordquindecim]

hahaha you got me there haha not touching that rottusy hahaha

[@Popstoppedem]

No cap, first try after watching this video I did it. I didn’t know the moon+the hat was a deadly combo. THANK YOU!!

[@YouOnMeOnYou]

Definitely needed to see this, cause this was so graceful. i think my issue is how i try to rush it with big attacks and get caught mid animation

[@lordquindecim]

same issue esp at 2nd phase, I really waited for an opening later on, worth it

[@CC-st7ob]

It was so satisfying to see your patience and gameplay. Most of Malenia fights are so aggressive, but this feels relaxin? Haha Mind doing a fight with Maliketh also? I can’t defeat him.

[@lordquindecim]

I cant do it for now, ill try and get a maliketh one thanks for this amazing comment

[@user-qc8jd5tw6s]

What I did to kill maliketh was summon like ghost knights to keep him distracted while I pelted him with ranni moon and comment along with rock sling sometimes In his second phase when he goes all crazy I used rock sling from far away, ranni moon when he's staggered, I believe in that fight there's like pillars that u can use to ur advantage

[@brianw8066]

I get past the 2nd phase initial attack... never once thought of using Azur Comet at that moment.... adding this to my strategy now 😂😂

[@a.r.h9919]

The screenshot makes it look like Malenia's bloom is like a giant empyrical tentacle flower about to hug an eat out moon

[@lordquindecim]

agreed, casting of it was on the right moment

[@178laaleros]

Thank you foe this. This helped a lot but in rhe second phase when she is in that little dome thing i just spammed stairs of ruin because i needed her to die and the spirit black knife tiche helped so much

[@lordquindecim]

very much welcome ♥

[@1stAid]

That ending of just a ton of dodging with no attack windows 'cause she was super aggro is what the majority of phase 2 feels like to me

[@DJIronChef]

Your MND, extraordinary

[@grossartus]

Omg this fight is so beautiful! I didnt appreciate the 2nd phase because i was so focus on killing her as quick as possible with my rivers of blood build

[@lordquindecim]

Thanks, same with my early attempts, I tried to exchange blows until I figured out an opening

[@Hypegreene05]

I had 2 people help me with her. But i WISH I could fight her again. Something about this fight it so epic. Although I'm not sure she is one of the demi gods that deserve to die. Too bad I found that out today but killed her 3 weeks ago.😬 Excellent work, though. I used Dark Moon quite a bit on this fight, along with the charged sword.

[@dinanga_revert]

The ones that deserve to die are the ones that clung so hard to power... so godrick. Radahn deserved it cause he was suffering and needed a warrior's death. Mohg is a blood God, there's no need to delve further into that.

[@Hypegreene05]

@Dinanga Rhykard, too. I'm doing that one now, even though I already beat the game.

Thank you! I did hit her melee in my hundreds of attempt, even hit her with the weapons skill to build up frost, but I manage to kill her without it. My talismans were Graven-school, Graven-mass, Ragadon Icon and Godfrey Icon. (I'll update the description)

First time seeing that cool casting animation where you fused with the orb. After the third times, it looks really awkward. 😅

[@dearcastiel4667]

2:53 to 3:40 No opening whatsoever to cast. And some people pretend she isn't a bullshit boss, even tho some builds can't get a hit in for a whole minute. And the waterfowl dance spam is insane sometimes. I can kill her under 2min in phase 1 with my mage, in those 2min she usually does waterfowl 4 to 6 times it's insane.

[@lordquindecim]

i died too many times to the waterfowl, its was getting annoying haha

[@snakeeyes7165]

I keep rolling back into her flower bomb attack in phase two and get one shot lmao. had the same idea with comet azur though.. Killed her once after she killed me but the game didnt count it.

Her aggressive ass ai in her second phase makes her such a pain in the ass when using a sorcery build.

Some fire damage would have helped 😊 Redmane Knight Ogha Spirit Ash does a great job whilst you can pelt Malenia with frost - and Night Comet which she can’t dodge.

I SPAM Rennala’s Full Moon with her clothes on and it doesn’t do NEARLY this much damage. And where the hell do I find Stars or Ruin?

you should take it off lol kidding aside, If you have rannis hat, it adds 10% more damage when using cold sorceries, which is the full moon.

Hm, did they buff the magic damage again her? I was pure mage but my damage just wasn't enough. I had to re do my character for a bleed build so i could actually kill her. But this was back when the game first came out. I don't know what changes and updates have happened since. I would like to beat her like this, the way I wanted to instead of feeling forced to change my build.

On a spellcasting build, what is a good Crimson to Cerulean flask ratio? 🙏

Just my opinion/personal preference, I like to keep... Boss Fights: 5 Crimson and the rest for Cerulean (so I can keep on firing spells) Exploring: 7 Crimson because I can just ran back to grace if I ran out of Cerulean
