Malenia Made Me Cry (Solo) // Elden Ring Part 29

[@Alyska]

The Malenia boss fight at last!! This boss fight is probably the most difficult boss for me out of all the Fromsoft games! And yes I did use Rivers of Blood, so if you came here to complain about that, kindly keep your opinion to yourself 😂

[@Widowmain806]

Period.

[@yuumijungle548]

"would you kindly?" 😂

[@Nikolas-Saenz]

Hey there's nothing wrong with using rivers of blood........mainly bc I did too 😬😳

[@ReinerIsDaddy]

I feel so bad for content creators having to justify their use of mechanics implemented by the developers with the intention of being used.. Souls Community can be hella toxic

[@knives6683]

Yeah but you did it without summons and you wasn't specced into arcane which is the big advantage for RofB so a massive well done from me.

[@B_B-420]

"She's still wearing her weird boot toe things." Those are actually prosthetics, like her arm. Malenia has no legs, 1 arm, and is blind. Due to the scarlet rot.

[@moonrabbit2334]

And we die to her 1000 times Great I feel like shit now

[@torrentialrage]

It's just a flesh wound.

[@WaketheFallen131]

I remember when the story trailer came out I was really curious what Malenia said to Radahn as she was about to nuke him with rot. After all our attempts against her I think we know all too well what she said to him. “I am Malenia, blade of Miquella.”

[@halfghoul3872]

I always thought it might’ve been her performing incantation of her scarlet rot but that also sounds cool too!

[@agm5424]

Actually there were some item description that was left out of the game but recovered by data miners that aluded to Malenia's words to Radahn either before or at the end of the battle. I can't remember the exact item, something to do with a knight that was in the battle, but according to it her words were something close to: "LOL, get wrecked noob."

[@superwhatever4075]

She whispered "can I interest you in some NFTs?"

[@ajizel13]

"let your flesh be consumed.... by the scarlot rot"

[@brandonwilliams3777]

She said "please don't kill me" because Radahn BODIED her in their fight. Her scarlot rot nuke is the only reason she survived and even then, it served as a distraction so she could escape. Malenia bodies everybody......except Radahn. man lost his feet to rot and still held up the stars in the sky

[@feargodfearme]

Even let me solo her admittedly said it took him close to 300 Deaths to get to the point of defeating her. After you think learn her moves, you see another switch in her design. Ever so subtle and yet ever so lethal. Definitely the most difficult Fromsoft boss. She makes Sekiro feel like Kingdom Hearts. She makes Gael feel like defeating Bowser in Smash bros lol. It took me an hour and a half non stop to defeat this woman and it wasn’t pretty. With a gnarly blood build with the Nagakiba, I finally took her down with just an inch of health left. Without shame, I used my mimic tear in NG+ and ended her the very 1st try which felt far less satisfying. NG+2 it’s just me and her again. But Kudos to all who defeated this wild and rotted, nude ass super sword-stress. She’s the definition of “Get Gud” and she’ll haunt our dreams for all of eternity.

[@CharlesinTampa]

First time beating Malenia took my entire day off. One of my favorite bosses in all of gaming.

[@miracleofsound]

Really enjoying this series. Good to have you back on gaming KZbin :)

[@rieJW]

The fact this whole video is already about 2 hours and there was a notice that many deaths were cut out from the video really says a lot about Malenia’s fight

[@yuumijungle548]

8:36 best death so far, you died like 3 times at once there 😂

[@infinity_sh4816]

haha

[@Judge_of_Anubis05]

those "weird boot toe things" are prosthetic legs along with her arm. So in short we've all gotten our asses kicked multiple times by a triple amputee who is also blind.

[@rlowethewitch8417]

At 2:15, you were curious about the structures that look like bridges. They're a defining feature of Gothic architecture, they're called flying buttresses. Just in case anyone was wondering!

[@cloudy5115]

Heed my words, I am malenia, blade of miquella and I have never known defeat. She really lives up to her dialogue on last sentence

[@Heatwave9000]

Well actually she has known defeat because she literally just lost to Radahn. She is recovering from that fight when you as the player enters the boss arena. Her knights had to carry her back to the haligtree. This is not malenia in her most powerful state.

[@thanus6636]

@@Heatwave9000 Technically that was a draw

[@cloudy5115]

@@Heatwave9000 no she didn’t die, she abandoned her pride and honor for radhan and used the rot on him even tho she didn’t want to win this way, so technically she won but she also lost and I mean mentally because she didn’t want to win this way by nuking him and everyone w rot

[@cloudy5115]

@Infinity one won the duel which is radhan, one won the war which is malenia since his place became a horror rotting place

[@thewingedone1172]

@@infinity3520 she didn't lose. The whole point is that she ended the stalemate by nuking him

The sheer determination you showed to beat Malenia was insane! I would have given up after an hour 😂 seeing how happy you were when you finally did it was so good as well!

[@mattsherman4964]

Are we not gonna talk about how she survived the waterfowl dance on her first try?!!!!

[@592Johno]

Bro it's a thing. I survived it on my 2nd try and got her to half health and couldn't don any of that for the current session

[@592Johno]

@@mattsherman4964 dawg I give up💀 I'm watching all these videos to figure out how dodge WFD and literally all of them either used mimic or for some reason she did WFD once for the ENTIRE fight. Wtf. Imma respec to Dex and give it a shot.

[@drthdave007]

​@592Johno when she starts wfd start running straight back from her for the first two and you will out distance them but the third teleports her directly on top of you so after the second get ready to roll straight away from her at the right time then roll again for the aoe and you will dodge it

[@ameersahib9560]

Pure luck

[@Palaecro]

When I see videos like this it makes it all the more amazing what "Let me solo her" has been able to do.

[@Slygrond]

His first kill took him about 250 tries and he already killed Malenia 1k times on streams so yeah that's dedication

[@ThranduilGala]

bc he has died too many damn times against her, he memorized every move by then

[@nawidyeah8274]

What does solo mean ? No coop or also no Incantation

[@yikesises]

​@@nawidyeah8274 just means that the player (who's named "let me solo her") you summon fights malenia on their own. you get to sit back with a bowl of popcorn and do absolutely nothing

[@DanielCorrea86]

and also there is a troll called "let her solo me" and he dies right away... LOL now you have Malenia x2 HP LFMAO

[@gamingcinema8836]

"WHY IS SHE WEARING THOSE WEIRD BOOT THINGS?!?!" Amputees watching: 👁️👄👁️

[@davidw.2467]

Malenia, Blade of Miquella, the strongest boss in Elden Ring who never knew defeat, had made many people cry 😂 It was a hard fought battle but the extreme satisfaction that came with the final victory made it all worthwhile. 👍

[@urborg74]

Imagine not knowing what you were walking into here, not knowing she has a second phase...just brutal. People will still be mentioning her 50 years from now, we've all certainly heard her name enough times to remember it. XD Huge kudos! Solo without a summon...that's a hard road you took, respect.

[@blakechapman8744]

You're lucky that the rot killed you just after you got the loot, because otherwise, the game wouldn't have registered her death. Nice job!

[@MultiOlimac]

that would have been crushing for her, considering she had 3 potions left which she could have replenished her health with. good for her.

[@josephinejekyl5848]

Yeah that happened to me somewhere in my first 10 attempts. I was crushed... Took me a long time to beat her after that. A very long time...

[@rayvincyful1]

The opposite happened to me. When I first got her to phase 2, I died but she was so low, my summon Tiche killed her right after I died. I was hoping the fog would disappear but no, I died first.

[@josephinejekyl5848]

RIP lol

[@tobi-gh5uy]

This happened to me during Mohg's fight. While I celebrated hard after finally beating him solo after around 2 1/2hours, the blood flames killed me (surely around 2seconds after him) and it really didnt count as a win - that was soul crushing.

[@Arda-dq4rt]

Holy moly. Malenia literally bugged out with her thrust attack in 1:47:12. She barely moved an inch and Alyska panic rolled so if she actually didnt bugged out there, she would be dead :D

[@thecaelum7513]

35:30 HAHAHA THE WAY MALENIA ZIPS AWAY

[@officermofiz4600]

Did you know - Her name is Malenia, and she's the blade of Miquella.

[@Proteus2905]

Have to give it to you, girl, that first move on the very first encounter was awesome. I saw so many players and myself, getting hit completely unprepared. But you showed some reflexes there. Well done. There must be part warrior blood in you.

[@DaftRabbit09]

18:08 the moment in history the phrase "metallic crunchy" was born. I will hear this in my head in any future games with a ballista.

Congrats on defeating Malenia Alyska! I’m so proud of you. 🎉1:47:36

[@Jackbacca7]

been waiting a while for this episode, this whole fight was an emotional roller coaster to say the least! but you did it without summons regardless!! thanks for the vid

[@john_Reilly2027]

Everyone done it without summons because all summons do is give her more health (unless you're talking about summoning in people to help you).

Really nice job with the editing on this, Alyce! I know it must've been a very time-consuming and difficult process. I like that you included your first attempt with all the various subtle changes to your weapons, etc. that you made, was a good editing decision imo, sort of showing that 'journey'. Congrats again on the well fought victory! You earned it!

Btw that isn't armor she's wearing on her feet, they ARE her feet. They're prosthetics like her right arm.

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

Wasn't sure if this would be where you beat her... watched and watched... 1:44:00 ... the fight started from the very beginning.. I wondered why we're seeing the start (I check the time on the video) could this be it??? 1:45:06 ... you declared, "It has to be done today though, I'm not leaving this, without completing this today" ... the prelude to what will be.... then.... V I C T O R Y !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what I noticed was that you incorporated a dodge move where you kinda disappear, I believe that gave you an advantage here!! I'm so happy for you, Alyce!! I know this actually happened a good while ago, I never got to see the full fight and victory... this was so worth the wait!!

[@galahad05]

That was an EPIC fight. You were like Galaxy Quest: Never Give Up, Never Surrender.

[@samuelbarrett1082]

After watching several streams of this game and seeing how people pretty much just run through them, I can see why it only takes them like 80 hours or so to beat it. My first playthrough was like 390 hours long. To me, there are no optional bosses, optional enemies, or optional loot. Everyone dies every time..... Or more than likely I do.

[@BL-9065]

The coolest thing about her imo. I love how masterfully she uses the prosthetic too, shortening it AND extending it at will in the middle of a fight. At 36:58 during that "slash flurry" for example, u can hear her shorten it before slashing, then making it longer again for the finisher. Even cooler when u remember that her blade is actually ATTACHED to her prosthetic hand

[@starman715]

I kind of skipped a bit, but damn you learned how to dodge that ash of war quite nicely. It's the same dodge that Let me solo her is using :) Two back flips, one forward.

[@Stranglebat]

imo this boss is a pretty hard counter to how alyska likes to play. The best way to deal with most her attacks is caution, don't over commit, whe hyper armors the kick and if you get caught at close range by water fowl dance you are goner. with water fowl dance you need to run away from the first one roll back from the second and then roll toward the 3rd otherwise you cop residual attacks
