How to beat Malenia, Blade of Miquella l Elden Ring let's play l episode 77

Описание: This was, without a doubt, the hardest boss I've ever faced in this whole franchise. The mini breaks between videos was because I wasn't playing, but this one week break was because this was how long it took me to beat her.

Insane moveset. The first time I tried my hand at her I could not react to her attacks fast enough. There'd be times where she'd no-hit me 3 times in a row.

I tried at least 4 daggers with many ashes of war until I settled to something towards movement rather than damage. It took me a while to get used to quickstepping instead of dodging and paying attention to my measly FP bar.

The sphere attack. I've no clue what it's called, I haven't looked anything up, this is a blind playthrough, but that damned sphere attack was the reason of at least 75% of my deaths. I racked up at least 180 deaths spanning over 10 hours of banging my head against the mist door of her arena, drinking flasks of wondrous physick one after another. I tried so many ways to dodge that attack, and to think that she used it once, ONCE, the whole fight. I feel a bitter taste in my mouth as I'm writing this.

Malenia is the hardest boss I've ever faced, I'll never forget her name (as she introduced herself again each time I died)

Ah right, I didn't include ASMR in the cutscenes, because her weary, soothing voice is enough and it would interlap. As you may hear (and I know you can because you have sound on, right?), this is Malenia ASMR. I've been listening to the first 2 hours of my attempts until I switched to something else because I was going crazy listening to the same 4 ASMR Malenia roleplay videos on Youtube. So when I felt confident enough to slay her, I put on the Malenia roleplay ASMR (Confident I was, but not skilled. [I listened to 1 hour and a half more]).

I felt empty when I defeated her. Though, I wanted to beat her before 2026, and so I did.

Have a fabulous day and happy holidays.
