How to cheese Milena as STR

[Riccioli d'Orco]

Hello i've been having problem with this boss and found a too dumb to fail solution for STR builds

Fingerprint greatshield + shield grese
Pike + blood infusion + quickstep
turtle talisman + guarding talisman

that's hit, hold guard and attack from behind the shield the bleed will outdamage the heal eventually
It's boring and worked fine, i feel dumbed down

The 2 handed morning star+fire prelate charge (Obtainable in the mountaintops area from a bug hanging from a tree near the fire fort.) Charge her, keep her pinned down, this bleeds+keeps her stunned, knock her up into the air, recharge stamina and do it again. The beauty of Malenia is she is like a normal NPC, use that.

Thanks for testing. People drop the shield when they see the healing.

How much endurance in your build please ?

50, but if you use the fingerprient shield + guarding talisman you only recieve 1 point of stamina damage per normal hit and 0 from all hits with the shield grease

yeah i felt like i cheesed the fight but i don't think there is a legit way to do it with a greatsword, mace or colossal weapons

btw i suggested the pike beacause it's the only spear that scales with strenght and can be infused

Put Royal Knight's Resolve on your colossal weapon, and selectively press her with leaping R2s when you got the buff up, she's got some openings to slip in leap attacks every now and then, and when you don't have an opening, just totally avoid her, like sprint around and backwards to avoid her BS.

If she's on your mimic tear, you can possible land consecutive 2H R2 leap attacks on her in a row, and stance break her pretty fast, and go for the finisher (swap to a miseracorde for the finisher, does more damage).

Also, you can power stance 2 greatswords (colossal one), put frost infusion on both of them, and press her with Royal Knight's Resolve buffed power stance leap attacks, and get frostbite damage in as well.

My recommendation would be to solo her first phase, then use your mimic tear on the 2nd phase (she's got way less openings in phase 2 for big weapons). Then slam her with leap attacks when she's on your mimic tear.

I beat her in NG+ using power stanced giant crushers with frost infusion.
