That poise damage is crazy

Real

Every bosses gangsta until their poise breaks

[@allstarwoo4]

Oh yeah. Just the charged heavy attack is enough to stagger most enemies.

Malenia served up the Ocky Way.

[@heyguyslolGAMING]

Tried this out this morning and WOW it's strong AF w/ really great recovery timings. Might run this for the DLC.

[@Mango-cp1im]

its a strong but also not cheesey build which i think is perfect for dlc

[@heyguyslolGAMING]

@@Mango-cp1im Swapped out Cragblade for Chilling Mist which increases damage even more w/ the exception of some enemy types in the Mountain Tops. No need to infuse w/ Cold; Heavy still out performs if your Str spec'd. I think my only real complaint about this build type is the lack of range as some enemy hitboxes just suck but no build is perfect w/o being op.

[@benis9635]

Wait, freezing pots stun her out of waterfowl dance? Or was that just a coincidence

[@stephenotterman6236]

Could this be a cheese tactic?

[@clankymocha]

Yes, frostbite knocks her down, but you can only use freeze pot to instantly frostbite her 2 times per fight

[@clankymocha]

@@stephenotterman6236 yes

[@ObtuseDookie]

Iron cleaver’s charged heavy is so damn good.

[@frizen8030]

Now kill Malenia with your bare hands in NG+7, with lvl1, no parry, and no damage

[@calebgriffin4214]

Don’t forget no running or rolling

[@whosjohncorzine]

And no life or going outside

[@Acusumano25]

since you showed everyone the frostbite pot tactic, i must inform you of the teabag tech hold block, spam crouch. you do the animation way faster because block forces your character up and interrupts the animation, where crouching kinda does the same to the block animation

[@clankymocha]

I hate this

[@crisisasp5396]

my latest playthrough was a challenge run using only 2 bloodstained knives and I finally beat malenia yesterday using them, took me about 50 tries, then i come on youtube, see this shit and think to myself whats the point, i coulda just done this

freeze pots make the fight soo easy but I like dodging waterfowl ngl

[@7amdanoo]

Literally how

@@clankymocha ok

[@samthepigman4069]

This weapon is actually good?

[@clankymocha]

Yep

[@Cathart1c]

I have a suspicion that you somehow modified the game so that Malenia uses only scarlet aeonia on her 2nd phase out of all of her most devastating attacks.

[@clankymocha]

You actually don't need a mod for this, there IS a scripted scarlet aeonia attack she does at around 20-30% health So, deal enough damage in a short time after the first scarlet aeonia and you'll get a second one right after, giving you a chance to finish her off Add this to the fact that she has a scripted waterfowl dance at 75% health in her first phase (which you can skip by damaging way past that threshold) and you can see why my videos might look so scripted at times If you don't believe me, go back to some of my older videos where I'd play in online mode and have messages and bloodstains all over the arena and this would still happen

[@Cathart1c]

@@clankymocha ok ok, sorry, really didn't know about scarlet aeonia script. I did know about waterfowl one though. Also if I'm not mistaken she does this attack twice in 1st phase - the 2nd one is around 30% hp.
