Elden Ring Player Easily Kills Malenia With A Greatsword

Elden Ring 1.07 is out, and one intuitive gamer shares an easy method to cheese one of the most brutal bosses, Malenia, with a Greatsword.

An Elden Ring fan has shared an easy method to fight one of the most challenging bosses in the game, Malenia – Blade of Miquella. Elden Ring came out in February and immediately became a massive success, commercially and critically. Fans love the numerous intriguing Elden Ring characters like Ranni The Witch, Rennala – Queen of The Full Moon, Godfrey, and Malenia.

It is now a well-known fact that most players die hundreds of times at the hands of these brutal bosses, mainly Malenia, who appears to be the fiercest. Malenia has a reputation for killing Elden Ring players multiple times, as she has a two-phased boss fight with an incredibly challenging moveset. Her most famous move, Waterfowl Dance, is known to one-shot the most experienced players. Naturally, gamers look for cheese methods for Malenia to spare themselves hours of hardship. Luckily, one Elden Ring gamer has shared a technique to beat Malenia using a rare Greatsword.

Reddit user PalpitationWitty8195 shared a video showing this Malenia cheese that can help players trounce her. Surprisingly, this Malenia cheese involves a Greatsword rather than a spell or an incantation. PalpitationWitty8195 utilized the full potential of Ordovis’s Greatsword by bombarding Malenia with its Ash of War, Ordovis’s Vortex, an attack that staggers her instantly. After breaking her poise, the player strikes with a critical hit, causing a massive dent in Malenia’s health bar. Soon, the player kills her first phase and unlocks the second phase of the boss fight.

Here too, the user applies the same strategy of spamming Malenia with the deadly Ash of War while successfully evading oncoming attacks. As expected, Malenia’s second phase, Goddess of Rot, also falls after the onslaught of attacks from PalpitationWitty8195. Many Elden Ring fans who weren’t aware of this Malenia cheese thanked the original poster and looked forward to applying it during their playthrough.

Gamers who want to use this specific Malenia cheese based on Ordovis’s Greatsword must ensure their character meets the minimum requirements of the Elden Ring weapon. Players must have at least 25 Strength, 13 Dexterity, and 15 Faith to use Ordovis’s Greatsword effectively. In addition, acquiring this rare Elden Ring weapon is not easy, as gamers first need to defeat Crucible Knight Ordovis in Auriza Hero’s Grave. It scales with the attributes mentioned above and is an excellent weapon for Faith builds.

Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
