Welcome to my playthrough of Elden Ring played on the PC via Steam commentated by me, NightmareAWL. I am using a PS4 controller with DS4 Windows, although Steam runs a PS4 controller fine.
Malenia is definitely a challenge. I would say though that there are only two things about this fight that are crap and make it annoying. The first is her healing as she hits regardless of contact or blocking. You can obviously overcome this mechanic by dodging so not big deal here, but for melee users it can make an already long 2-phase fight even longer. The second is her Waterfowl Dance ability. The absolute annoyance this move creates is almost second to none. It will go through your stamina or she will nail you, and heal up half of her health bar. So far as I know, running away prior helps. Either way, I couldn't be that bothered with the fight so eventually I summoned some help. It was a great themed fight but nothing that I cared to do for hours on end.
