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.
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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.
This is less a demonstration of Malenia's superiority and more a demonstration of how the AI isn't programmed/smart enough to stay AWAY from the scarlet rot nukes. That was Maliketh's downfall, EVERY time. When RNG allowed him to jump around or stay away from her otherwise the start of her phase 2, Maliketh cleaned house. Mally just needs to stop being so self-unalivingly stupid to walk right into an instant death aura all the time
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.
@@BT-ob7ve just to make you realize that they butchered most of the bosses besides Malenia (and even buffing her with some glitches they were made with intent because they failed to fix her) every single boss in the game major or optional except for their spoiled red girl is nerfed
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 well I liked malenia s fight. But I want every major bossfight to be busted for some reason: -Morgott= more health, vomit and Swords more dmg and more poise dmg. Must have healing miracles. -Mohg= immunity to bleeding and more resistance to poisons -Radahn= Meteor must be instakill, more poise, more health, old non nerfed stats -Placidusax= nuke must be instakill, poise breakable only when charging the nuke (recreating midir's infinite poise except from certain moments). More resistances. -Rykard= immunity to statuses except sleep -Maliketh= full health bar for phase 2, immunity to poisons and dd effect, roar does dmg, more poise dmg -Godfrey= earthquakes must be instakill, roar dmgs, more resistance to statuses -Radagon and Rennala= always parry spells, except physical ones and aoes. Rennala's moon must be instakill. Both should cure themselves. Fire giant ph 2= flamethrower from belly must be instakill Godrick= more dmg, more poise dmg, grab attack w dragon must be instakill -Fortissax= more dmg, fire also causes deathblight, more health, immunity to poisons and statuses. - Lansseax= more health, more dmg, more poise dmg, more resistance to bleeding and frost. -sir gideon ofnir= at LEAST 7 estuses, can use perfumes and block our healing. Can summon spirits to keep players away. -Elden beast= less mobility, more dmg, the holy rings must be instakill I think these changes would heavily fit the lore and could make every major boss shine. Like it should be!!!!
I like that you had it going back to back. You've made another great vid. I'd love to see you make a vs boss video for Commander Niall and his banished knights.
The means by which you started each new round were amazing. The way Maliketh seemingly did his "teleport out of a pillar" animation, followed by a "new" Malenia carefully walking on-screen, was a cool way to instill a "wait, what?" followed by a "ah, neat!" reaction from the audience. Also, Malenia teleporting in with a flurry of Aeonian Butterflies was polished and thematically appropriate. Of course, most of all, these were great fights!
Good fight, back to back without any interruption. This is a good idea to find out the true win rate between bosses. I think 60% win rate against Maliketh in his arena is as high as it gets. I've seen Fire Giant and Godfrey win in this arena, but they'd lose 9/10 imo
Goddess against God-killer, ending most of the time in mutual destruction. It's almost poetic from a narrative perspective. It's also very satisfying to see Malenia's elegant swordsmanship face Maliketh's relentless aggression. The classic battle between the master duellist and the unstoppable assassin.
nah the man is passive all the time before the nerf he runs and moves endlessly and doesn't give you a single chance to attack he was so fast that you can't actually hit him sometim- meant most of the times now ? he just walks when his enemy is literally trying to kill him
It's nice to FINALLY see Maliketh fight in his own arena for once since a portion of his maneuvers utilize the pillars. I would still like to have seen a straight up fight though. In a few of the rounds he seemed to be, clunky. I can't really explain it. What program is used to make these fights?
Although Maliketh, Mohg, Dragonlord, and Fire Giant can restrain Malenia. But alas Malenia restrains all things. Anyone who can't avoid her ultimate skill has no chance of winning.
Yoooooo I love watching your videos, Chaos! And yeah that's fax. It's one of the reasons why I feel like he should have had her just normally spawn in instead of immediately using her ultimate move, because then they're probably could have been an actual fight majority of the time
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.
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
@@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.
Was there ever a question? Malenia has 10k more hp than the final boss, she has self heal every time she hits something, she inflicts the highest damage variant of scarlet rot in the game, she has a dodge, and she has high general damage output with her basic attacks and combos, in addition to waterfowl dance. Doggo has what? 10k hp, a percent-based dot effect and a couple fancy flips and spins?
So... Malenia - 6 Maliketh - 2 Draw - 2 Full HP Doggo (without weaker phase 1). Arena advantages. And Malenia always gets debuff from destined death (look at her hp after phases 2, she started not with 80%, she got max hp debuff). Dominant and clear win for the Blade of Miquella. Maliketh is top-2 boss but far from Malenia.
@@DecimaarZ you have seen it yourself in the video STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOWER when he is usually always running, climbing and dodging (starting from 1.06v that got taken from him) this even his nerfed version, so much nerfed than he was at 1.02v or 1.00v
Malenia 6, Maliketh 4. A tie leaning in favor of Maliketh means it’s a win. Phase 1 would help him here, why would it not? He would get free damage and have a cutscene teleport get-out-of-jail-free-card just as Malenia does with her phase 2. Malenia starts with 80% hp in phase 2 in the base game, that isn’t from Maliketh’s debuff. Arena advantages? Those don’t matter here. The only thing that determines whether Maliketh wins or not, is his own attack rng. With or without his arena.
For fairness, it was worth putting Malenia in the second phase, when her AI is much more aggressive, otherwise in the first Malenia is inactive for most of the battle.
She has two health bars for a reason. If you put her in 2nd phase from the start, she’ll have one health bar. That’s fair. Maliketh only has 1 health bar, sharing both phases.
Match took place in maliketh map He started in phase 2 full hp and his ai is point as always Yet he lose Malenia won despite not getting to used her clone attack in any of those rounds and while her ai slow walking. It's clear that malenia>maliketh
I love the comments about Malenia's Rot "carrying" her once she phase transitions. That's her phase 2 gimmick, adding rot and starting it with Aeonia. Maliketh's is that he uses his sword, gains a ton of mobility and adds a percent based DOT. To make it fair and remove Malenia's rot would mean removing Maliketh's sword, additional mobility and Destined Death DOT as well, which would just be Beast Clergyman against phase one Malenia, and we all know that Malenia isn't losing that fight.
Just like remove her Rot effects and remove Maliketh's Destined Death effects? It's nonsensical to remove Maliketh's Black Blade if you remove Malenia's Rot status effects. Just take out Destined Death and Rot status effects and you're good. Though it'd be unfair for Malenia, since her opening move would deal 0 damage and has a long recovery time, and would just be a good opportunity for Maliketh to just spam attack after attack. Why would we need to remove his sword if we can just nullify the effects and keep the move set? If you want to remove Maliketh's blade, then Malenia gets no katana and thus it's just a fistfight.
I don't understand why people watch these boss vs boss videos and say this and that is unfair lol. The point is to find out who is stronger in the game.
Nobody is saying remove the rot all at once. Just remove the scarlet aenonia aids since that’s her only win con and let Goddes of Rot do something. Even though that just goes the same way phase 1 did I think.
Maybe try a video of them fighting where neither have their DOT effects, Rot and Destined Death? I assume Malenia phase 1 would crush both of Maliketh's effortlessly but it'd be worth a two minute video to figure out at least.
Malenia would crush him. She just has too many powerful skills. Scarlet Aeonia still does a lot of damage without the rot. Then there's Waterfowl Dance and the Clone attacks, both are killer moves. Don't forget Life Steal too. Even some of her regular attacks do so much damage, like the sword thrust, aerial slash, grab...
Without Destined Death there was no way Maliketh could fight against Malenia's lifesteal it looks like. Unless he just keeps staggering her, a single Waterfowl will bring her back to full.
Maliketh without destined death is like elden beast without holy damage or rennala without sorcery (only staff aow and summons). Destined death is the only reason Maliketh earns a spot to be in elden ring
People say that the scarlet aeonia carried but if she just started phase 2 she will have even greater win rate since she will not stay in one place for 5+ seconds getting hit. if she managed to bring him to half health with just phase 1 then getting the rest will not be a problem for her since she is twice as agressive in phase 2 and will kill him way faster then he can kill her.
Most of the videos where Malenia was bested by Maliketh was because of her long recovery time after using Scarlet Aeonia, making it way easier for Maliketh to spam his Destined Death from a safe distance and wipe out her healthbar.
@@AlaEddin-lb7vl Haha, just simply attacks? So how do you explain the fact that Malenia won more rounds than Maliketh in this BvB vid? Don't you realize that in most Malenia vs Maliketh, Maliketh usually wins the fight AFTER Malenia's first Scarlet Aeonia dive bc it takes her lots of time to recover from cooldown? Don't you realize that Maliketh wins some of the fights as he yeets himself onto the pillars to dodge her Scarlet Aeonia and then spams his projectiles or whatever attacks he has onto her?
*Malenia won actually.* She won 6-4 in *Maliketh's Arena* against *Prime maliketh* _The pillers allow him to jump around & he started at phase 2 & malenia still won!!_
Prime Maliketh? Prime Maliketh would have all shards of the Black Blade, but you can see in his transition cutscene it looks jagged, missing lots of pieces from the people who took it from him. Also starting at phase 2 is a no-brainer. He just starts as Beast Clergyman because he doesn't want to risk losing Destined Death, but if it's a demigod pulling up he lore-wise would start in phase 2. Malenia has two whole phases with two different health bars and Maliketh still won 4 rounds. Also don't forget, this is Prime Malenia vs Weakened Maliketh since he's missing so many remnants.
that is not even a bit of his prime don't take the gameplay wise as lore accurate point because this is a foolish he is much nerfed than he was post release and before release versions
@@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.
Maliketh here is severely buffed from starting full hp in phase 2 but that just makes the fight better cause gurrang phase is boring... so alright. Malenia starting with half hp in each rd of phase 2 was pretty annoying but I guess that's just a dev problem. Pretty sad Maliketh never got past the flower in the rds he lost, would have made the video more interesting. Should have done multiple fair phase 2 vs phase 2 attempts just to see, cause her phase 2 alone can beat full hp maliketh with good rng and without the flower. Anyway, good idea of a video. Malenia-6(technically 8 with the 2 ties)/Maliketh-4 pretty representative of their matchups
@@johnt3500 what ? you want him to remove a core mechanic in gameplay and accurate effect in lore just to favor and buff Malenia even more ? guys you are driven crazy by this rotten b/tch
Those weren't ties has malekith won faster than her. So if anything it's 6 on 6. Other videos have shown malekith destroying her. It's funny how strong he is
Conclusion: Malekith still the second most baddas boss in the game, "coz Malenia, even with debuff, against all advantages for him won more than a half of fights. She's a beast.
@@XoMrNoNameoX That’s not a buff💀A buff is like increased damage or increased hp and poise. He basically just did the reverse for gurranq. But it was for Maliketh.
@@DecimaarZ Malenia wasn’t nerfed, but Maliketh was buffed - starting in his second phase, in his own arena(pillars) giving him mobility boost. Malenia, when she got to her second phase - the debuff from DD was still active, effectively bringing her health to 50% instead of 80% in which she usually begins. This fight in my opinion is overall underwhelming because either DD melted Malenia’s HP before she could land a hit (in her second phase) or the rot destroyed Maliketh as soon as Malenia entered her second phase. There was no proper fight if you know what I mean..
@@MarcusLopez98 It would have been better without the first mandatory Scarlet Aeonia but this video is the most detailed Maliketh vs Malenia I have seen so not that bad.
People are all commenting so much about Maliketh's AI but if u go with that, what about Malenia's AI? She is the most peaceful boss in her first stage and in second stage just sits on her scarlet aeonia, doesn't even move. If she starts with the same aggro as her second phase, Maliketh might not even survive her first stage. The best version is just let them both duke it out in their second phase, remove scarlet aeionia attack from Malenia, give Maliketh extra HP and pray he wins.
Difference is, Malenia has a 100% chance to do her 2 most powerful attacks in every single fight no matter what. She also gets infinite hyper armor for one, and the 2nd one is a literal phase switch rot nuke teleport. Those happen in EVERY single fight. Maliketh isn’t fortunate enough to have that, so literally any time he loses against her, it’s because his AI didn’t do his good attacks and got him killed.
Malenia - 6 Maliketh - 2 Draw - 2 Pretty dominant victory for Malenia considering this took place in Maliketh's arena + his weaker Clergyman phase is removed. This still further solidifies Maliketh as the 2nd strongest in BvB tho.
that was just RNG there's no way he is losing in his arena it always goes for him if not for some modified or broken element in the middle of the fight not to mention this current version is nerfed to the ground that's no accurate
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 ah yes, delusion again... Maliketh literally gets buffed in the video from starting in phase 2 full hp->loses most matches->you complain= a formality
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 Maliketh was given his arena and a full Phase 2, he's given every bit of advantage and he still lost. You cannot use the RNG excuse when there's multiple rounds provided lmao.
What was the glitch with the last match where Malenia got two fairly large health boosts just by standing there? Didn't help her win but was still surprising.
Rot Goddess didn't physically attack once. Each battle was basically: Maliketh melting Malenia phase 1 -> phase 2 nuke and the outcome was determined by whether it triggered rot or not. Dodging the flower and spamming death waves is literally how Maliketh ever gets to win. Let her start as Rot Goddess and she eviscerates Maliketh 100% of the time regardless of whether her healing is activated or not and regardless of the arena.
Exactly, phase 2 Malenia is basically unstoppable. I also got annoyed that Maliketh couldn't get passed the flower to see what Goddess of rot could do, bit she either got screwed from starting with half hp or rekt Maliketh before she could do anything else... I guess there are many other videos but this one had the potential to give it to us many times in a row, smh... wasted potential
Would it be possible to make a video of Maliketh facing bosses but with his destined death disabled? We all know DD is insanely strong. It is if not, the only reason Maliketh rakes up victories in most BvB battles. It would be very interesting to see how he would perform if DD didn’t do percentage based damage. BTW, love your content dude.
There is a guy who did that in one of his videos. He had Maliketh's destined death turned off and while he could still throw slashes of DD, they just did blunt force damage instead of damage over time. He actually fared better than I had expected, though obviously he would have destroyed every boss he went up against if he had his destined death
hahahahaha absolutely no Malenia piss her brown rotten panty if she saw the black blade one single little roar from him is able to deliver DD to all the Haligtree taking the inaccurate gameplay wise as lore point is the biggest mistake you will ever do especially when they are treating other bosses like shit and spoiling Malenia with undeserved overturned stats the black blade is just a beast to deal with Malenia can't stand a second this and he is not even in a bit of his prime
@@NileCrocodile191 lore wise Maliketh beated an entire group of people who killed Gods for breakfast alongside with her leader. And that was before having dd. Maliketh is on an entire different level and it is the main reason (toghtethaaaaa with godfrey) behind Marika's victory. Lorewise he is only limited by the fact that he is a shadow, therefore subjected to the greater will.
It won't, as you could see in the cutscene, Malenia was able to kill him even in her first phase. The only problem is that Malenia is not primed to start melee from the range at which Maliket's script is activated, so she mostly just takes his hits, if she doesn't, then she won't need Red Aeonia to win.
Well, that did convince me that Maiketh is less strong against Malenia than I had hoped for. Now I would quite like to see a similar fight with Phase 3 Placidusax.
Sure doggo has destined death but malenia not only can she heal she also get her almost full health back and immediately launch a nuke on her 2nd phase
how is this not unfair lol most of the time he literally goes into her attacks not to mention that this is the very much nerfed version of Maliketh add to that even a broken not working properly RNG that decimated him all over the video it is all in favor for her if wasn't for this it will be 10/10
Então pode colocar duas barras pra Malenia também. Esse seu comentário só mostra que Malenia é mais poderosa que ele, uma vez que Malekith precisa de duas barras de saúde. E ainda assim acho que perderia.
Maliketh is stronger since Destined Death is stronger than Aeonia. Plus, Malenia has 2 full health bars, here Maliketh has 1 but normally has 1/2 health bar (1/4 Malenia's), and I am not talking about actual HP. Malenia won just because Maliketh didn't always dodge Waterfowl Dance and Aeonia, but, overall, he dodges attacks better than her.
agreed, pretty sure everyone in game knows about the scarlet aeonia that ruined caelid, makes sense maliketh would just stay away and fire blades of death at her
@@kaiserdetectivegolden2735 Lucky for Maliketh he doesn't have 1 hp, he has 10,600 more than Radahn and Morgott, and he doesn't have 0 poise. His poise only broke during waterfowl dance.
Radahn is not an optional boss, he needed to be patched. Malenia is optional and was designed to be the ultimate challenge for the players, so she can be broken.

There are lore reasons for every two healthbar fight: Rennala´s second phase with full health-bar is an illusion. Malenia is Goddess of Decay and Rebirth, and after defeat she experiences rebirth that brings her one step closer to godhood. Rykard and Eiglay (serpent) are separate entities with their separate health-bars. Maliketh having only one health bar hammers home that he is just a regular beast (even though strong one), and it is his weapon, the Black Blade of Destined Death, which is exceptional.
frustrating performance to watch from my man maliketh. some sets he clearly understands his gameplan: keep up the aggression in neutral, when she overcommits just back off with projectiles and she has no answer to that, when he pulls it off he pulls it off. but then idunno what it is, nerves, fatigue, maybe he gets a bit tilted, but he just stops thinking clearly and just starts trundling in full aggro, mashing buttons while she just melts him with her super. really hoping he can figure out how to keep his head cool and maintain the strategic game before nationals
I don't understand why Maliketh's first phase was removed entirely yet Malenia's full boss fight was kept? That's like depleting 50% of Maliketh's health before the fight even starts.
- No beast Clergyman phase, so full health bar of pure Maliketh - Arena advantage allowing Maliketh to flip around - Destined Death carrying over to Malenias second phase Every reasonable advantage to Maliketh, and then counting the first and last fights as wins for Maliketh and not ties, and Malenia still won 6-4, damn.... getting tired of her beating everything in these boss vs boss videos. Life steal and rot flower OP vs targets that don't know how to dodge lol. Guess it makes some sense lore wise, she was on par with Radahn even if not known as the strongest, and then it turns out she got a second phase lol, though I would still put the Elden Lords; Placidusax, Godfrey and even Radagon above her lore wise, though thats pure speculation and more just the vibe I think the game tries to give off
It all comes down to Scarlet Aeonia. If bosses don't get struck by it, they have a chance against Malenia. Otherwise she takes the win or draws. If Radahn was an endgame boss, he would beat literally every boss because his meteor crash would be more destructive than it already is.
No beast clergyman phase meaning 10k hp Maliketh WITHOUT his first phase, aka a huge nerf. Maliketh flips around outside of his arena as well, no clear advantage was gained by the fight taking place in his arena. Malenia starts with health missing in the base game, that isn’t Maliketh’s doing. It’s probably related to the rot hurting her when she transforms or something.
@@white_114 The 10k hp includes Beast Clergyman in-game. So Maliketh is actually buffed here with having the same health pool but phase 2 the entire time. I agree with the arena though, it doesn't add that much. It just makes him more likely to jump.
@@white_114 when malenia changes phase, status such as frost, poison, rot, blackflame dot, destind death dot are removed, like starting the fight again. if you beat malenia with black flame dot, or detined death dot, that wont carry over to phase 2. So the fact that meliketh can stack it in phase 1, and then stack it while malenia scarlet aeonia is decent buff in malikeths favour. EDIT: can be seen clearly at 5:10
@@VolcanoHeadProdution No that’s actually more fair which is why the creator did it this way. Why would a phase 2 cutscene switch completely negate everything that happened in phase 1 AND lead to a free phase 2 scarlet nuke 1-shot teleport??
Chances are, Maliketh would end up the same as Radhan if he were to fight Malenia for real. Even if he killed her, it is highly unlikely he wouldn't get afflicted by the scarlet rot which would slowly consume him from the inside.
Lmao. Malekith is literally a league above the demigods lmao. I he would smack the shit outta malenia. Radahn couldn't even fair well against malenia with a great rune. Although he did ruin her quite bad
I doubt Maliketh would even give Malenia a chance to use any rot stuff on him if they were to actually fight. This was the same Doggo that defeated a Goddess with the full rune of death while he had nothing. Malenia would actually get obliterated by Maliketh probably if they were to fight

I haven't played in a few months because I beat the game so many times I was scared I was gonna get Elden ringed out before the dlc (which looks like it won't be out until next yr 😑) so I started playing all of the souls titles again. Maliketh was kinda always easy if you were a strength build and used flame of the redmanes. Even when nerfed his poise is so low that once you get the first stagger you can chain the riposte with another stagger so to keep the challenge I never use it anymore and he was still kinda tough for me when I last played. Pity what they did with Radahn. They needed him back up but still weaker than when the game first dropped and I was so proud to solo him before the nerf. Smh.
Maliketh’s got a way more destructive power, those pillars are his strength and his weakness, without shelter the tarnished is doomed. The scarlet rose can be avoided on a single attack, but the rune of death is permanent. This be said, I struggled more with Malenia 😆
Imagine if Maliketh got a full health bar with more hp during second phase, this would be such a different outcome. Honestly if any of the end game bosses had the same crutch of a second health bar with extra hp, they would all be extraordinarily hard to defeat.
@@strigel8653 Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Maliketh's insane DPS is directly tied to his Destined Death mechanic, he'd be barely stronger than Morgott without it.
The Malenia simps are out in force in these comments, she was designed to be an OP boss with 2 absolute nukes of attacks, health regeneration, a 2nd phase with a new health bar and scarlet rot. And even with all that, if the devs had given Maliketh's AI the common sense not to wander directly into her waterfowl/scarlet aeonia attacks, he'd win 9 times out of 10
He isn't even supposed to run into that phase 2 beginning attack not even the player stays there it was meant to be avoided and maliketh fought with 1 health bar while she had 2 health bars so maliketh wins easily
You can just tell a Malenia boss video because there are a lot of "Ifs" and "Buts" in the comments. No other boss is ever so downplayed as much as her.
@@suchar7175 nah fam don't go crazy you also missed that one "if you are bad and horrible than others, you will get hated because of what have you done that made bad and horrible"
Malenia is about the closest thing to an unfair fight and a terrible character as From has ever created. I don't care so much about the 70 billion deaths she delivered to me. But her in game actions and health regain break her lore. There's literally no way she'd ever lose to anyone especially slow dumb Radahn.
