As far as I’m concerned “I am Malenia, blade of Miquella, and I have never known defeat” is as iconic as anything else from FromSoftware. Such a badass line.
I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
@@toastee5421 Malenia was dreaming about the Scarlett Rot totally consuming her, because she doesn't have the needle that stops the rot within her body anymore, Millicent has.
I hope she's actually a challenging boss and also I hope she has 2 health bars, the first one is her valkyrie armor version and the second one is the one in her trophy picture where she has weird wings and stuff.
I think this is the list according to the achievements: Mohg, Lord of Blood Malenia, Blade of Miqeulla Morgott, the Omen King Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy Godrick the Grafted Starscourge Radahn
@@iloveanothermanswives4278 No, she was always insane. She was the vessel for the Scarlet Rot, and its source. Radahn, whose character is said to be noble and honourable, got infected by it. If anything, it was a victory for Malenia.
@@Count.Saruman Except Scarlet Rot doesn't defeat you. It enhances you into monstrous form. Which in this game, Radahn still as strong as ever. Malenia stated quite clear that she is waiting for Radahn to come back for another battle and in the meantime, her mind occasionally slipped and killing, eating people while in that insane state.
@@iloveanothermanswives4278 No, she's not waiting for Radahn's return. She's waiting for her brother, Miquella. And Sir Gideon Ofnir explicitly calls Radahn a shadow of his former self.
@@Count.Saruman Radahn almost throw meteor rain at you, so it is more about how his sanity was lost. Miquella is no where to be found in game. Either he is dead since beginning or a DLC addition. Storyteller stated quite clear that Malenia and Radahn is locked in battle forever and none of them emerge as victor. Both of them were too dangerous to be left alive, which you had to kill both.
Damn this game seems to have some badass bosses even compared to other From Games. Objective: don't get spoilered further for a year ;-; *cries in potato PC*
Like almost everyone else in Fromsoftware games, Malenia is one of the most misunderstood bosses ever. After the Golden Order and the Greater Will cursed her and her brother (her with Scarlet Rot and Miquella with a body that never ages past childhood), she swore herself to battle for as long as her body will last to bring about Miquella's desire for a world free of the Greater Will. There's a reason she was left at the foot of Miquella's Haligtree, she's her brother's defender, and anyone who dares try to harm her brother better get her intro monologue memorized because she will carve it into the brains...and everywhere else on their body for that matter.
There's a lot of parts to her character. A lot of people see her releasing the scarlet rot as her being a poor loser. It was a lapse of judgement where she threw away her pride and dignity and sense of self to win a battle that she couldn't afford to lose. If you complete Millicent's quest, Millicent will give you the golden needle that held the scarlet rot at bay. If you give that needle to Malenia's bloom, she will in turn give you Miquella's Needle, which is the only way to reverse the Frenzied Flame ending once you've set on that path. It's an unusual act of compassion by Malenia to ask you to not fall under the influence of other gods, but be your own person. If that's really her character, it's easy to see why she was so beloved by Miquella and admired by many others.
Took me so many replays to notice that if you pause at 0 seconds , you can see the hole where Miquella's Egg was originally, and on top of it the wood makes up the shape of Miquella (You can see the torso, the arms, the head with a nose and mouth and the wavy root hairs). Kinda makes sense too considering Miquella embedded himself in the three to try and break the curse where he could not age, so maybe he was slowly making a wooden body for himself or something, but the process was stopped when the cocoon was stolen by Mogh... That or maybe the entire tree grew from Miquella's body...
Malenia made me so sad because on my first try I almost killed her easily (I had a +10 Dark Moon GS), so I leveled up a normal weapon and faced her like a man. That didn't go so well, so I had to go back to the being OP strat
I might hate this fight, but do you know what? Fuck, if she isn't cool. Her whole scene, her dialogue, the way the mechanics on the prosthesis work with the sword? So damned cool.
So I met her yesterday. Went nuts with my heavy armour, boulder hammer big bonk. 1 dash, 3 slashes and I became sashimi. She just made reservations for my entire weekend.

Nah, it was a draw. She was left critically wounded by Radahn, but Malenia infected him with Scarlet Rot and turned him into a savage mindless beast while also turning all of Caelid into a wasteland. Neither of them won that fight.
@@blakeandcamp I don’t know about you but being rendered unconscious would be defeat would it not. And from what I know radahn tanked that scarlet rot blast like a chad.
@@biotoxin6280 Finlay is the Knight that got Malenia off the battlefield and back too the Hailgtree. And it was stated that Radahn’s great tune is what saved him from dying
Isshin is easier for me than Malenia. I did Isshin in 30 mins while Malenia is like fighting Isshin while stuck with the slow DS combat system, I must have spent at least 2 hours on Malenia. But Isshin is a better fight for sure, probably my fav souls final boss fight.
@@scharlachnachtfalter1900 that’s what i meant. On paper, isshin should be harder with all his move set and having to deal with 4 HP meter. But because you have the skills to match isshin which makes the fight an even battle. While malenia feels like you are fighting with a handicap even though she has less moves than isshin. If you fight malenia with sekiro, i think she won’t make it five minutes.
@@GracelessTarnished can you please post your attempt on her second phase. Even if you die. We want to know what the second phase is like. I heard this is the hardest FromSoft Boss ever
I don’t play Elden ring or any souls game. And suddenly this malenia only RU-vid videos got me so attached that I felt an urge to play it very badly. One of my best friends is a die hard souls fan and last week he told me “I’m at Malenia, wanna try?” After 10 trials I got the grasp of waterfowl dance thanks to RU-vid videos, after some more trials I killed her first phase. And here I am wishing to go to his place again to try and kill her completely
Fun fact, Fromsoft always intentionally makes the player character smaller than the enemies because it's easier to see what's happening on screen when the player isn't taking up half the camera.
"And I have never known defeat" *Meanwhile Radan, still alive and awake after she knocked herself out trying to use the bloom to kill him* : Bitch please are you for real ?!!
@@moonfire_222 It was a standstill that que could only hope to win by KOing herself, which could've killed her if not for finlay. In my book that's called a loss Though I wouldn't dispute that in losing the battle she did win the war (I mean figuratively, since her armies were forced to back off and are no longer present in caelid for the most part).
@@Cat-yo2mb he doesn’t need to win in order for her to be defeated, the mere fact that she couldn’t overwhelm him is already a defeat in and of itself. The fact that he survived the blast whereas she got KOed and had to be saved by Finlay is the other reason to call it a loss for her.
Most like her because she’s strong. I hate her because of what she did to caelid and Radahan. Radahan is by far the best, most selfless character in Elden ring. After you learn his story, you don’t feel like the hero anymore. Man just wanted an honorable death….
From what I gather, the entire Shattering was a mostly pointless war. Malenia probably went to Caelid in order to retrieve her brother Miquella and ended up crossing paths with Radahn. Him being so strong forced Malenia's hand in the matter and ended in their mutual KO. I get the sense of tragedy for all involved, no matter who they were or what they wanted.
She was a good fight, not too hard, six tries, still ways to go against like, O'niel (39 tries). But it's the design, the atmosphere, and my first death was atleast she charged impaled me mid air the moment the fight started, that was the game putting me in my place 🤣
She's not, but from what I've heard she is basically one of the toughest (if not THE toughest) boss in the whole game. Seems nobody has beaten her yet, which explains the total absence of Phase 2 videos.
I'm planning to be a gaming journalist and I give this game a score of 0/10. They didn't include trans characters or LGBTQ selections. Plus they botched the character creation template for black people. I haven't played it but just by those factors alone I know it' will be a trash game.
