[@Akeche]

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.

[@raptorxrise5386]

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

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.

[@Bigtwinkissac209]

bro was a badass he even sealed death and other demi gods feared him

[@swellow28]

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.

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.

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

Absolutely love this series I’ll probably watch it again start to finish when you quit posting it

Maliketh is def my favorite boss. Been rocking his armor since I got it. Nothing looks cooler imo.

[@BvLee]

I wear the helm with knight's cavalry chest and blaidd's arms/legs. It's pretty dope

[@TylerSmith-sd2oc]

His legs and gauntlets with the prisoner shirt is what I wear on my main character with a gold headband

[@madrex512]

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.

[@shumatsuplaran7251]

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.

[@madrex512]

@@shumatsuplaran7251 yeah, it sucks how they fucked holy builds so hard in the end game but it makes sense lore wise i suppose

[@alessandragonzales8190]

@@shumatsuplaran7251 At least those are just somberstone weapons. 1 stone per upgrade, and the game feels like it's littered with them.

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

[@jacobanderson4209]

Bro! Your videos make me laugh man! Love your content and your commentary! Keep it up

[@Wikidsik]

Gotta say. I love your videos. Never laughed so much. Keep up the good work.

[@tacotaco123100]

I wish they made Maliketh into it's own full HP boss. Absolutely loved this fight

[@W4r10ckm4n]

Quick lore/story update if you want to know who/what Maliketh is: You know how Blaidd was Ranni's shadow? Like he followed her everywhere and protected her? At least, he was supposed to? Maliketh was Marika's shadow. Created by the fingers with one sole purpose: to protect Marika. Now, Marika didn't trust the Fingers, because they were an extension of the Erdtree, and the power behind it. Marika treated him horribly, and forced him to bear the rune of Death, sealed it away within his body. Essentially, she created the cycle of living undeath within the Lands Between, and this applies to the gods & demigods, mainly - there's a whole lore section pieced together about how a single shard of the death rune(hidden as Maliketh's blade) got stolen from Maliketh, and was immediately used to kill Godwyn the Golden(ancestor of Margit & Morgott). Basically, you unlocked the power to kill actual gods now that the Death Rune is released and no longer contained - or rather, you made them killable, reintroducing mortality into the cycle.

Why not show your level in any video? 🤔

You should definitely play the final fights with game music on, it’s so much better than you’d expect

[@filipvadas7602]

Can you imagine if Malekith's second phase had its own health bar? He would legit give Radahn and Malenia a run for their money in the difficulty department

[@mymousebroke8258]

Radahn isn't very hard ever since the nerf

I love how Afro puts music in the game to make the scenes sound so much more bad ass. This is what in my opinion makes him outshine slot of other KZbinrs just for doing tiny details like that for his audience.

[@siegedoyle]

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.

[@kevinoyster6937]

"I DONT EVEN LIKE FROSTED FLAKES" had me dying! Awesome placement of that anime guitar shit at the end too.

[@m.dillinger4117]

Afro when you give us that music of hypeness, then we know a W is a cometh. Love it....and will you change your armor? That new on you go that's gold looks fire!!!

i fucking took a break for this boss after fighting him for like an hour, killed Melenia, came back, and still got my ass clapped

[@NotAGrabbaghoul]

The fact that Afro’s Kiai/Shout/Battlecry is “CRAMMM” is hilarious

[@Dezmante2]

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

[@Crytycl]

16:38 (I believe I avoided spoilers, all info here should be accessible by now in game but disclaimer just in case 🤣) Maliketh is Queen Marika's shadow. Like Blaidd was Ranni's shadow before she tread the dark path and had to sever her ties with him. The rune of Death used to be embued in Maliketh's black blade but Ranni stole a piece of the rune to kill a demigod (which is also why you can see a piece of the blade's guard is broken). Ever since then Marika's shadow (Maliketh) embed the rune in his hand so that no one could get to it without going through him. But then you went through him and unbound the Rune essentially allowing Death to be a natural part of life again, so now (without spoiling) you can kill something that previously would have been thought of as unkillable 😊 hope this helps

[@Dirnaldmabin354]
