The Hardest Boss Ever Made - Elden Ring

Fighting this boss i learned 2 things. Her name is Malenia. She is the blade of Miquella.

There's a theory that the reason why Malenia doesn't aggressively engage with you during her first phase, is not out of respect - it's because she's blind. She literally can't see, that is why she mostly relies on your movements to know when to attack. Thought it was pretty cool, though I like the "respect" theory also.

I was struggling for 2-3 hours not realizing she has a second phase and first time seeing that transition cutscene really was a true horror.

Guys lets face it: The hardest boss From Software ever made was gravity and the camera.

Hearing Malenia’s “wait” for the first time was crazy

"I am Malenia, blade of Miquella, and I have never known defeat." "I am the Tarnished of no reknown, and defeat is all I have ever known." This fight really is a case of "irresistable force versus immovable object".

Her voice actress was wonderful and haunting. "Oh dearest Michella, I've finally met..... my match." Goosebumps every time.

God, her art design is so amazing. I still can't get over it.

Everyone seems to forget this fact. There’s no dlc for ER yet. And From Software’s DLCs always have the hardest enemies. Manus and Artorius. Burnt Ivory King and Fume Knight. Sister Frieda and Gael. I can only imagine what monstrosities await us in the Elden Ring DLC.

I read that malenia's eyes are gone because of rot. So, the reason why if you stand still she doesnt just aggressivly run at you is because she doesnt quite know where you are. look at the floor and notice its full of water, she attacks aggressivly when you move because she can hear where you are

I think people are mistaking something. From all we've seen, Malenia has bloomed in total only twice. Once against Radahn and the second one after we defeat her. The bloom outside her boss room is clearly from one of Milicents sisters as you find the clothes they wear when you interact with it ( plus we know this can happen cuz milicent can bloom after she dies). So that would infact mean that we haven't yet seen the actual godess of rot. Also, we know that she's supposed to lose her mind when she blooms for the third time, but she is clearly still very "sane" still having her consciousness and most importantly, her personality. I believe if this is true, then when we actually fight the true godess, it might be something more akin to the elden beast, or at the very least, Melania will lose all her sense of self to the rot

The guy screaming, "Chat, what is the solution? Tell me. How. HOW. HOWWWWWW!!!" may be the best part of this video. 🤣

Making her heal after every successful attack was really the icing on the cake, from soft we’re definitely kicking there feet and giggling making this boss

The fact that her introduction puts her so close to you, and she closes the gap with the first move you're not prepared for (if it's your first time facing her) is just a sample of the pain you endure. I will always put respect on the name after beating Milenia, Blade of Miquella

16:30 That guy's face is pretty damn relatable. Doesn't even feel like victory, just feels like it's over finally.

Malenia’s Most Broken Ability is the ability to walk away from staggers. She’s the only enemy/boss in all of Elden Ring that can literally interrupt a stagger. Idk what Fromsoft was thinking with that one lmao

Elden Ring players: "Malenia is the hardest boss ever." Elden Ring DLC: "And I took that personally."

Having played most of the Soulsborne titles I've learned three things: humanoid enemies are significantly harder to kill, the only unpredictable enemies are other players, and if a boss slow walks towards you in any phase they mean business.

Mimic tear +10 was my lord and savior during this fight.

Elden Ring: has a boss that heals Everyone: “We were not ready”
