Malenia, Blade of Miquella - Elden Ring Walkthrough - 100% Platinum Beginners Guide 242
0Welcome to our next episode in our 100% Beginners Guide for Elden Ring, this guide will cover everything required for obtaining the Platinum Trophy for Elden Ring. In this episode, we'll be tackling Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
This is easily the hardest fight in the game. So come prepared. Make sure you're taking advantage of any damage reduction buffs that you can. You'll want the Pulley Crossbow for this fight. I had it offhand and as soon as Phase 2 begins, get out of the way and unload as many volley's of Burred Bolts into her as you can. She is weak to bleed so make sure to take advantage of this as well.
Her ace in the hole is an attack called Waterfowl Dance. You'll see her float up into the air before beginning this attack, you NEED to get away from her when she does this. Waterfowl has a rediculous amount of hits making it unlikely your stamina will last the whole combo if you block and it also has the ability to track you quite well. All of this means you need to create a significant amount of distance when she winds up for the attack.
Malenia also has Lifesteal on her attacks. So everytime she hits you she will recover slightly. Combine that with Waterfowl dance and you're unlikely to survive an endurance fight against her. Try to trigger Bleed as much as possible and avoid rather than block her attacks to avoid letting her Lifesteal off of you. Good Luck!
These guides are intended as a complete beginner's guide, for anyone struggling with the game. There are definitely higher skill playthroughs available on youtube. Instead, I've chosen to focus this guide on making it as beginner-friendly as possible.
