Malenia, Blade of Miquella - RL1 No Sprint/Roll/Skills No Damage

R N G
Praise the forbidden block tech
And no, you do not have to jump that many times for the clones. Once you get out of range of the first one you only really need to jump the first of the three stabs, the others you can strafe by just walking. However I lost a lot of P2 attempts today and didn't want to take any chances. Jumped a lot more than I would have liked, alas. This could be a lot cleaner.
Weapon is mostly because I always thought it was cool, and I wanted something with a usable CR2 (aka, not the pokey-pokey stick).
You can dodge first waterfowl (the mostly scripted one) by staying far away and triggering it with a throwing knife or something similar, however for any subsequent waterfowl you have no chance without sprint, so I didn't bother.
I leave NG+7 to someone who enjoys pain and suffering

[@yurilowell4213]

Im kinda shocked that just walking to the side is enoough for her to miss her stab 2:25, crazy how you can dodge her clones with jumps only, anyway thats amazing dude.

[@mouseinatutu]

The last two stabs of the clone attack you can actually also just walk to the side for, but I got hit by it a couple times and wasn't quite sure why. I assume it's because of going uphill or downhill throwing off her trajectory very slightly

[@timeworntraveler3644]

yeah im pretty impressed by the way he dodges the fast slash combo. just walks to the side, why didn't i think of that? and baiting scarlet aeonia to go in reverse by walking just past her hitbox was great

[@yurilowell4213]

@@timeworntraveler3644 Yeah i also bait her Aeonia like that, no matter how much distance you run, if you are still in front of her she will hit you, the solution is quickly running past her, also she will rotate slightly to where you're going so you should circle her a bit once you're behind her.

It's also really solid for this boss tbf (otherwise I wouldn't use it). Too bad it's kind of awful at +0 or I'd have used it more. Omen Cleaver is the same, but more damage. Though the range difference actually might matter for knocking her out of side-jumps.

I noticed that you were blocking a lot with your sword, and you mention some kind of block tech. What was the purpose of that? It didn't seem like blocking did anything since you didn't get hit?

[@julianaskoe3260]

nice job ! is this the hardest boss in the soulsborne history to do hitless for you? if no who is harder?

[@mouseinatutu]

At the very least I think radabeast is tougher in ER with lower damage (At just base SL1 or levelled the fight is easily completely scripted). I could also see Mohg being more problematic for longer kills due to all the blood. Malenia is hard, but very learnable and you can deal with her reliably for extended periods of time. Specifically for no hit the bosses that have multiple enemies (especially with ranged attacks) like halflight or phalanx and the like are absolutely awful to no hit once your damage gets restricted. Famously no one has yet done unsegmented deacons sl1 ng+7 +0 weapons without aux (such as bleed or poison) for example. What bosses are the hardest really depends on exactly what you're doing with them, with some restrictions some bosses become far harder than in others, even normally joke bosses such as deacons in ds3.

[@lIlIlIlIllIl]

Do you have any advice for phase 2 standard RL1 no restrictions? I’ve got her first phase down to a T but I can’t get consistent openings on most of the P2 attacks

[@mouseinatutu]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6CVpaNvga5_apY Here's a kill I did with rolls, P2 starts at 1:54. IDK what weapon you're using, so you'll have to experiment with what you can get away with before kick or jump as that changes a bit based on the weapon class. And keep in mind if she gets far away from you she's likely to do the clone attack, so be attentive when approaching. Good luck

[@lIlIlIlIllIl]

@@mouseinatutu I got her 😌🥲. Thanks for the link + advice

[@nebeskisrb7765]

Stopping waterflow with pots, will it work if she tries to do it twice in a short time, before debuff runs out, or should I just blame bad luck at that point?

[@mouseinatutu]

fire weapon resets the debuff, so as long as you get the one hit in it'll work. You only get to cancel it easily twice though, after that she gets too much resistance and requires two pots (can still preemptively throw one during scarlet aeonia f.ex. and be able to cancel it again for a while, but that might not be as consistent.)

[@Bowl_of_soup]

Kinda stupid question but why the armor if you don’t get hit what’s it for

[@mouseinatutu]

Helmet gives two strength, the chest piece gives jump-attack damage (though I don't get much use out of that). Weapon is so heavy I get almost no benefit from using blue dancer talisman so that means I can wear whatever, and when you're not rolling there's no difference between the loads

You can dodge the scripted one by just walking really far away before she does, but I doubt you could throw her off enough by circling. Admittedly I didn't really try to either

[@jeremycu4571]

[@eduardo259]

thats impressive as fuck

[@Sabini13]

Don't be rude, but are you definitely a healthy person?)

[@rezthemediaruler3768]

How did you manage to pot her out of waterfowl dance? Fought her like a million times now and still can‘t manage to be completely unharmed by this. (Pls don‘t be mean. I’ve beaten her many times, without help or spirit Ashes, with only Melee builds. As I am to stupid to use Spells and Incantations properly. Still can‘t manage to not get hit by it.)

[@mouseinatutu]

Frost (probably also works with bleed as it has similar properties, though idk if there's an easy alternative) provides a stagger that goes through even malenia's hyperarmour. A single pot is enough to trigger a frost proc and so it stops her waterfowl. This only works twice though as bosses get increasingly higher resistances the more they're affected by them. Can sometimes stop a third one as you can throw one during scarlet aeonia which partially fills up her frost meter, and the buildup drains quite slowly, so you have some time to hit her with another one. Better probably to learn the sprint-jump away method (only works with twohanded weapons that your character holds up high, such as greatswords). Or if you play safe with some longer-range weapons you can also just sprint away (see my no roll/jump kill f.ex. or many others). There's also the close-range circle her then roll method, but that one I haven't used so I can't comment on how easy or hard it is to learn. Good luck!

[@rezthemediaruler3768]

@@mouseinatutu Thank you good Sir for this very valuable information. I will try it with my next Character.^^

[@cidi349]

How do you get the idea to do this and how to train this? I didn't belive this could be posible

[@mouseinatutu]

Well I did no roll/jump and figured no sprint but with jumps might work as well (no jump no sprint I have no idea how you'd go about). Been doing these kills for a good time now after being introduced to the challenge-running community a few years ago. I find no roll to be very fun to learn, as it's a totally different way to play the games, and recommend trying it (though maybe start with some easier bosses first) especially if you're getting bored of regular playthroughs. You train yourself just by doing attempts over and over, training with a high health, but low damage character helps. It's also possible to make savestates in case you accidentally kill the boss, or want to kill them multiple times without having to make a new character or cycle. If you're on PC you can also get access to trainers that you can use to view hitboxes f.ex. though some resources are available on YT or other places

You leave ng+7 to someone who enjoys pain and suffering? Bish may i remind you of the things you do in this game?

[@glorytoukraine5524]

This is some mind blowing stuff, especially the clone attack. I also had no idea you could avoid the triple swipe by just walking towards her. The scarlet aeonia around the 2:40 mark got me worried, because an attempt ended like that once, when I forced myself into a corner, with nowhere to avoid the aoe. By the way, do you have tips for her with shorter weapons? I have noticed that daggers tend to whiff her all the time in my playthroughs. If I'm fighting her, I usually have to resort to a greatsword/greathammer.

[@mouseinatutu]

Yeah, I died to some aeonias like that. When she pulled it out I thought I would die. Also I haven't fought her with any shorter weapons so I can't help you with that. I know BDBrian and others have kills with just straight swords that might help. Only done no roll and no sprint on her.

[@user-oe5gt6ev5d]

next: no walking

[@mbuso69]

Is the fire infusion there so that you could reset the frost in preparation for waterfowl?

[@mouseinatutu]

Kind of, but it's a remnant of when I was trying to do it without frost as it does a bit more damage than the physical infusions. With frost those might do more damage again, but I'm not sure how the cooldown for waterfowl lines up with the frost debuff timer
