It took many players a long time to formulate the best strategy when fighting her. Some use specific tactics to help defeat Malenia like ashes, others summoned other players, and yet other players decided to master all of her movements. Many players so far have found that the best tactic is using the bleed-out strategy as Malenia is extremely susceptible to Now, the thing about Level 1 runs is that after Limgrave, most enemies will kill the players in just one hit anyway.

Still, it can be tedious finding ways to lower HP, so for people who can't be bothered, then the Ritual Sword Talisman is a good alternative. The first phase isn't too bad for players who are good at fighting long-distance, in fact, the whole boss fight is a bit easier for those players. But for players who are much more used to the typical hack-and-slash style the game promotes will have a far more difficult time.

However, part of the reason she survived can be discovered in one of Elden Ring 's many Spirit Ash summons .

It gives +10 to Strength for three minutes . This is usually long enough for players to hop between Graces or long enough for boss fights. The game's many bosses are a great source of such lore, and the famous Malenia, Blade of Miquella , expectedly has some of the most engrossing and fascinating backstories. From her legendary duel with Starscourge Radahn to the <a href="https://Www.eldenringfans.com/articles/the-bleakest-endings-in-rpgs-when-victory-tastes-like-ash.html">tragic video game endings</a> origins of her and her brother, Malenia's lore has an important place in the history of the Lands Betw Given the dark secret behind Queen Marika and Elden Lord Radagon, the origins behind Malenia and her brother Miquella become all the more tragic.
