This Boss seems impossible BC & Maliketh Black Blade IDEAS?

[Bricky strong]

STRATEGIES?
MOSTLY if not all, for Maliketh. BC isn't all that hard, a little.
I guess you have to memorize his move set but, he's just Death, Like I get killed before I can memorise anything. This is far harder than anything I've experienced with a ''Souls'' game. I'm level 99, and have plus 19 weapons. I've tried a magic weapon build, and dex, and now I'm using a strength build, by altering stats.

I'm using a claymore, mace, fancy dagger, error-(washing pole)-error NOT WASHIING POLE I meant the spear The PIKE , I have a Long bow upgraded. I have a medium shield and a large tower shield, all upgraded to plus 19 as well as a short bow. (I'm not using them all at once, ok?) I have lots of talesmons n armor too.

I can't put together a combination that can beat them. (I'M AS SKILLED AS I'M GOING TO GET, but u say git gud, its ok) I've been playing these games for over a decade since when Demon's Souls first came out, if anything, I'm getting worse due to age.

The only solutions I can think of is to level up and finish upgrading my weapons......which means more farming.... (SUCKS)....Guys beat this at soul level ONE and I can't do it at level 99 and with all my experience playing ''souls'' games. I'm not against cheeseing bosses, if need be, and that whorefrost got patched just before I got there (I just found out about it, and don't have that ash), when I was on the godskin duo, which I beat no cheese- to show my skill level, although, I had help, but I could probably beat them alone, maybe. To be honest, I'm not that talented....I usually find a strategy that beats the bosses....
Any Ideas???? go ahead and write get gud if it makes you feel better.

This feels like a Pro Skater asking some regular guy to skate vert, or a Pro supercrosser asking some dude to do some laps on the test track, u get it? You wont be able to do it.....like juggling on a bicycle. Whats the latest cheese?

with a great sword do 3 heavy jump attacks lets you do a critical attack

Well, I would recommend bleed as much as you can on him, he can be blasted through first phase pretty quick. Also you have to stay on him in second phase or he will just keep launching the blood blade stuff to bleed and burn you quick (also debuffs your max HP). I personally don't like using shields and beat him with a +10 bloodhound fang and can recommend a quality build if you decide you want to swap builds.

In short, there is really no real tips I can give other than rolling at proper times and dealing damage when you can and to use mimic tear summon. Second phase is like fighting a giant, stay under his feet and get behind him, he has some moves that can't be dodged from the front.

On Maliketh? tbh I don't have any trouble with the beast clergyman.

His first phase its was most annoying to me, cause of that double swipe attack he does thats almost impossible to react in time.

You have to roll early, like so early you would normally get hit but you don't only for him.

Yeah, maybe you dont have enough FP? or if youre using Mimic then idk why it isnt working

Take in mind, you cant use them if you have summons

[абель]

yea but if you have furlcalling finger remedy active they dont work

[Bricky strong]

I MEANT THE PIKE, NOT WASHING POLE, Sorry, The washing pole would probably wreck them, I don't have that weapon.

you need 660 hp to summon mimic ashes

Ya, so thats probably why, they do work after the patch then.

Doesnt work when he decides to do one of the other attacks that heavily punish rolling early...

By the time you're at Maliketh's doorstep, the game should have already handed to you the bell bearings for infinite Smithing Stone [1] through [8] and Somber Stone [1] through [9], and you should have already encountered a modest handful of Ancient Dragon Smithing/Somber Stones; with this, I think From is expecting you to have a +25 weapon by now.

I must confess I waltzed past Maliketh with the help of a jolly cooperator, so I do not yet have a good enough grasp of how Maliketh specifically works to give you sound advice on how to fight him.

In general though, Elden Ring bosses have an invisible bubble of personal space, where if you advance too close to them they will retaliate by throwing out stronger, more devastating attacks than normal. I've noticed this as early as Margit, but it seems Elden Ring wants the combat loop to be that you let the boss come to you rather than you to it, and then punish it after it whiffs an attack.
If you try to hug the boss's rump, you're not going to be given any fair openings to punish it.

you should 100% be at +25 by now. the game's given you multiple chances to get the slab equalivent, and every smithing stone bell should also be avaiable. (even SL1 will use +25)

you're def underlevelled too. if you wanna farm you should Go to mohg's castle using the teleporter to the west of the consecrated snowfield, and farm the enemies there. you get like 30k+ in 1-2 mins from enemies literally sitting there doing nothing next to the grace.

ashes are your best friend. They're not "cheesing", they're in the game for you to use.
