Blaidd is arguably one of the most loved characters in #EldenRing

Why not use his strength to bring #malenia to her knees?

There was a time when Sword of Night and Flame was immensly OP in #EldenRing After a series of nerfs... well, it is not much worse.

#malenia will be happy to test out its strength for me. Although the fight itself wasn't very exciting, it shows well how powerfull this weapon is.

How about fat bonk? #EldenRing and other From games like to indlude some ridiculously fat armour.

Let's Prelate's Charge #malenia Very satisfying build. Highly recommended!

There's absolute bucket load of interesting builds coming up in the following days.

Another interesting #EldenRing build to tease #malenia with - Whip yo ass.

It basically stunlocks her for the most part with the Flame Dance of Giant's Red Braid and complimented by bleed buildup from Hoslow's Petal Whip. If you are struggling with Malenia, give this build a go, you can't get wrong with it!

Next, I'd like to present you yet another absolutely broken #EldenRing build featuring Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear.

#malenia is susceptible to hemorrhage so it this weapons Ash of War completely drains her. Enjoy!

#EldenRing build created by Vatii - Marine tank.

This ridiculously tanky build can withstand even #malenia waterfowl dance... up to some extent of course. It also able to pack quite a punch. Take a look!

Let's recreate one of the greatest conflicts in #EldenRing history - #malenia vs General Radahn.

I wish I was able to ride Leonard though...

Blood and Thunder! #EldenRing has its Greatsword (which is actually a Colossal Sword) inspired by the weapon from #berserk

Why not make it double, and take on #malenia ? Crazy build that hits like a truck.

Today something a bit different. In #EldenRing you can obtain an interesting weapon after defeating Dragonlord Placidusax - Dragon King's Cragblade. Did you know it's able to completely stunlock #malenia ?

Ridiculous situation. Take a look.

This #EldenRing highlight is a second part of yesterday's. Did you know that if #malenia is in the pond in the middle of her arena, she gets 10% more lightning damage? Also, she is more resistant to fire in water by also 10%.

Enjoy the rest of the stormcloud build.

Moving on with lightning theme, let's throw some of them at #malenia. Featuring one of the 9 Legendary Armaments of #EldenRing - Bolt of Gransax. I like how well this weapon looks with Tree Sentinel armour.

Another completely broken #EldenRing build and a pure pleasure to fight #malenia with - Cursed Blood.

Its focal point is Morgott's Cursed Sword which is amazing to play. Give it a look.

Very fast build of Fire and Ice. Scavenger's Curved Sword inherently inflicts bleed as well making this #EldenRing build consisting of 3 affinities. Let's see how quickly #malenia goes down while using two of those swords.

I think that Eleonora's Poleblade is one of the coolest, if not the coolest, weapon in #EldenRing

It may not be the strongest, but consistent bleed buildup plus inherent fire damage makes it at least decent. Combine that with unique R2 and flashy Ash of War that can quickly move you in and out of combat, and we have an armament that shreds through #malenia in seconds. Enjoy!

After incredible Eleonora's Poleblade, it's time for you Everyday Joe build with... just Claymore. It shows that even the simplest build in #EldenRing is potent enough to take on #malenia and all the barriers are in our heads.

Today in #malenia highlight - Not So Everyday Joe #EldenRing build. Featuring Zweihander, a colossal weapon infused with bleed. Not very... romantic, but still quite potent.

Finally getting back to more... usual #EldenRing builds and continuing #malenia hunt. Today, let's tackle Dark Knight with Helphen's Steeple. This Greatsword can imbue itself with Ruinous Ghostflame that adds Frostbite buildup and Magic Damage. Other than that and looking cool, it's rather usual, solid weapon.

Death's Poker can be a very powerful weapon in #EldenRing Despite "flame" in ghostflame name it produces, it deals no fire damage. It's Ash of War is two staged. First stage creates a flame and the second one, depending on whether R1 or R2 is used, creates a trail of ghostflame or an explosion.

It takes time to go through both of those and #malenia is fast, especially in her second phase. Here's my attempt.

Another legendary weapon in #EldenRing to try on #malenia - Ruins Greatsword. Very powerful with high cheese potential... as seen in the highlight.

Also, a conclusion can be drawn from this video - take your time with #malenia, don't rush, and wait for an opening. Arm yourself with patience.

As amazing and cool Godslayer's Greatsword is in #EldenRing, its ash of war - The Queen's Black Flame is way too slow to consistently fight #malenia. Nonetheless, the weapon itself is quite decent as it deals fire damage.

Knights of Zamor are frost themed enemies in #EldenRing. They weild their Curved Swords that are inflicting frostbite on hit, but also come with huge disadvantage - they have very short range.

You can see how I struggle to land a hit on #malenia eventually dying... but still winning the fight.

It took me uncomparably longer to get all the pieces of this build than to defeat #malenia with it. I've completed #EldenRing several times and I didn't know that Magma Blade is a drop only weapon, just like all pieces of Fire Monk Armour. It literally took me two days to gather everything but it was well worth it.
Magma blades melted through malenia perfectly and it was a pleasure to watch and play. I highly recommend this sword, though it requires a lot of effort to get... unless you're lucky.

One of the most popular builds in #EldenRing - Samurai with Moonveil katana. It is so powerful, that I have beaten #malenia with it the first try without any issues. It was also really ejoyable to play too. Have a look.

Moving on with samurai builds in #EldenRing, Dragonscale Blade is one of few katanas that doesn't inflict bleed on its own. It is making it up by its amazing ash of war - Ice Lightning Sword, which imbues the sword with frostbide buildup and adding lightning damage. Pretty sick weapon and works amazingly well agains #malenia. Check it out.

There is no necromancer class in #EldenRing, as it would probably defeat the whole purpose of the game, but we have some substitute. There is a weapon called Rostus' Axe, which Ash of War, Rostus's Summons call 3 skeleton to assist you with attack.

This is quite tricky to execute when fighting #malenia, due to really long time of cast. The only chance is to time it right so it staggers her a bit allowing for more blows to come.

How about mixing Radagon and Golden Mask?

The problem with fighting #Malenia while using holy focused weapons is that she, as well as most of the end-game bosses in #EldenRing, has high resistance to this type of damage. Nonetheless, it's doable.

Stop! Hammer time!

Very pleasant #EldenRing build. Nebula is more popular with Wing of Astel, though it works well with Bastard's Stars. Enjoy this interstellar #Malenia highlight.

Astrology and gravity magic has a special place in #EldenRing. One of the more challenging bosses related to this is Fullgrown Fallingstar Beas, from which you can obtain its jaw as a weapon.

This armament is not tremendously effective agains #Malenia, but can sip through some ranged damage to make the fight slightly easier.

I think that Commander Nial's design in #EldenRing is absolutely fantastic. I tried to recreate his build to take on #Malenia, though Commander's Standard besides providing buff is not very powerful weapon on its own. I've managed to do it nonetheless.

The real issue with fighting #Malenia, especially in the second phase is how quickly she executes her attacks. That makes use of a lot of weapons in #EldenRing very tricky. It makes their ashes of war very situational and not worth the risk in most situations.

In any case, that doesn't make those weapons any less cool. Enjoy Axe of Godrick fight.

Similar situation as to yesterday but taken to the extreme.

Axe of Godfrey provides a powerful Roar, though it is painfully slow. Very hard to make use of it agains very fast 2nd phase #Malenia. I can see it being used in other locations of #EldenRing though.

#EldenRing is opened for many meme builds like for example this butt slam. Once you know every #Malenia move and can read it perfectly, there is nothing that can stop you... even the risk of impaling your buttcheeks on her blade.

I love how Malekith is designed in #EldenRing. Not only his character and story is amazing, but also his design is marvelous. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, #Malenia has strong holy damage negation, but even she can't stand a chance against Destined Death!

Nox is an interesting faction in #EldenRing. They live underground in Nokron and Nokstella. They use specific, flowing weapons. It so happens that they can cheese #Malenia pretty easily, especially Nox Flowing Hammer, featured in this video.

Similar to Nox Flowing Hammer is Nox Flowing Sword. Those are the only two "flowing" weapons in #EldenRing. The sword doesn't have as much "stopping power" as the Hammer does. Even though both of those weapons are interesting, they can't be infused with any element or buffed by greases leaving them in a weird spot. #Malenia also didn't seem impressed.

There are scythes in #EldenRing. Doesn't sound too exciting, does it? That's because they are not very interesting weapons. Quite fast, with small damage. Chipping #Malenia's health with a scythe was a chore which only bleed saved. I couldn't come up with anytghing interesting regarding them, maybe you will be able to?

Very close to my very first build, I wanted to test the Grafted Dragon that Godrick uses. It's rather unique #EldenRing fist weapon, with the same pitfall as some other interesting weapons. It's Ash of War animation is horribly slow. When used incorrectly during #Malenia fight, it can make a short work of you. Bear witness!

I didn't want to miss out on dagger build but also dragon powers in #EldenRing and my #Malenia challenge of a sort. I thought I have chosen the right combination for the job - fast dagger and painfully slow dragon magic. turned out okay, but chipping away Malenia's health with the Black Knife was underwhelming and using Dragon incantations was leaving me open for a long time. Nonetheless, I made it, so please enjoy!

Do you like to play with fire? Pyromancer is here to help. Even though it is not one of the starting classes in #EldenRing, it can be created nonetheless. Very quick and powerful build that takes #Malenia down quickly, efficiently and from a safe range. Easy and pleasant to play. Let's fire it up!

Time to fight the fire with... snow. Frost magic to be exact. The core of this build is Dark Moon Greatsword obtained at the very end of Ranni's quest. I think that's the best quest in whole #EldenRing. Spoiler: It completely shreds through poor #Malenia.
