![]() Takes little skill or timing, just some patience, as the fight will take like 5-10 minutes, depending on how much damage she heals back from hitting your shield, but it is pretty safe and you will only die if you derp out. For as long as you can sliiiightly outdamage her constant healing, you will win a hard-fought victory.Īnd that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you defeat the toughest ER boss while being crap at the game and using nothing but a spear and huge shield. Other than that, just stay in her face and poke away from behind a greatshield again. This attack is why you want to stack some rot resistance before entering the fight. If you can't figure out the dodge timing for 2nd and 3rd part of the combo, consider using a bolus. you may actually want to try dodging her waterfowl dance in phase 2, not due to the heal but due to the BS rot buildup. Really, it works fine, doesn't do that much scarlet rot buildup and is a lot safer than guessing her timing. ![]() when she does her flower-nuke, just.block it. Dodge left or right after blocking the swipe to avoid rot. when she leaps into the air to slam her sword down as part of a combo, she will cause scarlet rot explosions. Then run up to her and repeat phase 1 strategy. This will cause her flower- nuke to slam into the ground and have the lingering scarlet rot AOE miss you. At the start of the fight, run straight towards Mal and then to the left or right. This phase can be loooong depending on how lucky you are with dodging grab moves and how often she does waterfowl dance for max leeching, but if you follow this tactic the first phase takes next to no skill, perfect for me.Īlmost entirely like phase 1, just with cooler visuals and eugh.scarlet rot. If you are below 90% or so, she WILL 1hit you with her BS grab move if it lands, no matter how much armour you pile on. Waterfowl dance can be blocked 100% with a decent shield for no damage. This will interrupt her BS grab move, which will 1shot you if you're not highly tanky.ĭo not attempt to dodge - if you are reading this, you suck at the game like me and WILL get hit and leeched for far more HP than if you had just blocked. Keep very close to Mal at all times and keep stabbing. When she is poise broken after 3-4 strong attacks, crit her, then charge attack her when she is getting up for free damage. Hide behind your shield, do not EVER lower your shield unless it is to regain stamina, keep poking away at Mal with light attacks and guard- counter the lunging stab and flying downward slash, nothing else. ![]() +rot immunity talisman to counter phase 2 rot shenanigans.Īrmour isn't really that important considering you're not likely to get hit a lot, endurance and lots of HP are far more important. Greatshield talisman for more effective blockingĤ. I used the Serpent-Hunter at +10, as you get it automatically from the Rykard fight and it scales well with strength.ģ. A weapon allowing you to stab from behind the shield, spears or rapiers qualify. Fingerprint Shield is best for this, but others can be used.Ģ. A strong greatshield with high guard boost and 100% physical protection. After trying for 3-4 hours to beat her, I worked out a strategy for no-skill players to defeat her that doesn't revolve around using overpowered summons, exploits or cookie-cutter builds.ġ. Like many other players, however, I ran into a brick wall when I encountered Malenia. I did, however, manage to beat the game just fine with a greatshield and great mace.
