Maliketh, the Black Blade VS Malenia, Blade of Miquella - Elden Ring

[@DominionWolf]

Considering that Maliketh absolutely cleans house when he actually avoids the Scarlet Aeonia? The lore states that *all* the demigods feared Maliketh. I believe it now.

[@hydroshock1853]

@@VDA19 I mean, he proved that, so no issue here. After seeing this video, I thought it was less about how many rounds each boss wins and more about the conditions each boss needs to win. If Maliketh always avoids the explosion, he always wins. Vice versa, he always loses.

[@matiasluukkanen7718]

Malenia starting her second phase with Flower of Doom is both a pro (can instantly rot almost anything) and con (leaves her vulnerable to Maliketh's death-swipes from afar). Would be interesting to see another version of this fight where she starts her second phase on foot, if possible, as that also might enable her to utilize her full moveset, and also give Maliketh small chance to avoid debilitating rotting. Also, this demonstrates wonderfully how demigods can't defeat fully resolved Maliketh, and only ones who might are probably Empyreans with their potential godhood; Malenia, Miquella and Ranni.

[@SomeUserk]

I think it is a disadvantage for her to start on foot. Against human players it eould be an advantage, but not against a computer like Maliketh. Because scarlet aeonia is the only way for her to catch up with maliketh on damage output. Her kifesteal and waterfowl is not good enough against destined death. Of course for us humans scarlet aeoni is such a good openjng to attack, and easily dodgeable. But maliketh prefers attacks that can be tanked instead of dodged

[@JavierGarcia-bc5gj]

yep, the result of almost all the rounds depended on that moment. If Maliketh uses a close combat atack, he is dead. If he uses death swipes from afar, Malenia is death.

[@CrescentCrusader99]

Godhood or Empyrean status is not a measure of power but a measure of nobility. Demigods like Radahn are stronger than Empyreans. Heck even non-gods like Godfrey are stronger than gods.

The means by which you started each new round were amazing.

Also, Malenia teleporting in with a flurry of Aeonian Butterflies was polished and thematically appropriate. Of course, most of all, these were great fights!

[@drcox012]

Regardless of what the AI does. Malenia is generally pretty lore breaking. And likely the worst character Fromsoft has ever conceived. You can tell Fromsoft had such a huge hard-on for the health regain mechanic. There are other comments here that even suggest every other boss was nerfed besides Ms. Firecrotch because they loved her so much. Like, does any single solitary player of Elden Ring REALLY believe that she would ever lose to Radahn over in Aeonia? No way. If you believe that then you haven't played the game. I absolutely refuse to believe his slow stupid starscourge ass could land a single blow against her. It'd be a fight closer to Godrick vs Malenia. This is why I will forever be team Maliketh because he's as true to the lore as possible. He has a neat little gadget to make his fight easier for everyone. And he's a badass that doesn't need to literally nuke an entire continent when he's losing.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@drcox012whoa there - this sounds like a very personal beef you have going with Malenia. Maybe she wiped the floor with you one too many times? Or you just haven’t taken the time to fully understand her move-set… either way, she’s not even close to being their worst boss/character. I would recommend fighting her with light roll, and learning her parry timings; then you might begin to respect her design more. The entire fight can either be incredibly satisfying, or ridiculously annoying, depending on how you choose to play. Her healing ability forces players to be precise and deliberate about every move they make; it’s a real (very optional) challenge, that takes a decent amount of dedication. This is what sets Fromsoftware apart from other developers, and this is why I keep coming back. Also, the Radahn we fight is not in his prime; he was much quicker and a lot stronger when he fought Melania… so just consider that. Mang.

@@YisusTV556 You're mistaking no-brainer balancing as advantage. Maliketh has only 10K health, both phases combined, while Malenia's both phases combined are 33K. Malenia has lifesteal. Malenia has a separate healthbar so even if Destined Death is spammed on her first one, her second phase won't have any more statuses. Malenia's second phase basically is a death-sentence, and she opens with her Scarlet Aeonia, which has insane tracking and it always hits Maliketh even if he jumps away, it only misses if he does a specific move. By the way, his being in his arena doesn't do much against Malenia. The "advantage" it brings he only does 1-3 times in each round, and it barely helps since it's just an extra move. It helped twice, each time being good RNG so he jumped away from her Scarlet Aeonia. But overall, him being in his arena is not prime. Also, it's not really a big deal that he starts with 100% health, because that's the bare minimum. He in his prime would have lots of more health, lots of more moves, more powerful Destined Death, lots more of agility. In the lore, his sword originally had all the shards of Destined Death, but assassins stole lots of remnants (you can see it so obviously in his transition cutscene) thus it's very jagged. I'm not saying he would oneshot both phases of Malenia lore-wise both of them at their prime, I'm saying he would've probably made a 5-5, or won 6-4. 1. Being in his arena is a very minor advantage. 2. Being at max health is like, bare minimum because that's what it should be, but FromSoftware made us fight Gurranq against for some reason and his second phase doesn't start at 100%. 3. You're mistaking "advantages" as being in his prime and disregarding lore. 4. Such "advantages" are bare minimum compared to Malenia. She does Waterfowl 2-4 times a fight, hyperarmors through every attack, drains his health and heals from it, and it's very long as well.

So Maliketh still gets smoked by Malenia even with the odds artificially stacked in his favor (his arena, starts in phase 2 with full health, NG stats when be benefits more than she does because all his attacks are percent-based). This should solve the question of who sits on top of the boss hierarchy.

[@QuinoLising]

Still, it's pretty RNG because it's dependent on bosses using a specific move tree against another boss using a specific move tree to win. It could easily have been 5-5 or even Maliketh winning 6-4, but it really just depends if the game AI decides to use a move or not

@@QuinoLising if Maliketh uses his triple air slash when Malenia uses aeonia its 85% sure he wins, otherwise its 100% draw or malenia win.

@@FaptaA Exactly bro, and every round is dependent on him having a specific RNG. Malenia has 33K health, Maliketh has 10K health. I'm happy with the 4-6 result, but still. His triple air slash is just an above-average move. I'd say his Judgement Cut is better at the damage, minus mobility.
