At what level you beat Malenia?

[Necromanu Shi Atat]

I'm fighting with this boss for 2 days in row , i'm level 120 what is optimal

for Pure STR , END and VIG

I mean that dance kill me almost instantly .. my friend Asmongold have it 75 tries , so everybody have tough time to kill

Did you used any broken builds to kill?

[ColonelBaker]

it's a hard fight but doable at that level with that build. I was 120 with a STR build.

[737]

Found her at level 90, had to change builds 3 times and beat her at level 110.

[dande48]

First time I tried her, I went in with a strength build. I couldn't do it... the weapons are too slow. I've beaten her with magic and with dex, without too much trouble. I'd try respec-ing.

[Chuss]

Also around 120, str/fai build. Dual wielded war hammers, one of which had lifesteal (Great Stars?) with bloodhound quickstep ash added on. Giant's flame incantation puts her on her arse if you can hit her with it.

[Grandson]

Her dance kill will always one shot you don't worry my friend.

You could use a bleed or magic build if you want an easier time

73

I was lvl 112 with a quality wisdom build (str, dex and wis), used the astel wing and a great shield, on second day I made it. This is imo the most fun and aesthetic boss fight of all soulsgames.

[ZTL-Altima]

I beat her at level 100.

Once you find a method that works for you for dodging her super move, you're done. Battle is against only this specific move.

I beat her at lvl 140 with two colossal greatswords, one of which had bloodhound step.

[Svartur.Hrafn]

120 lvl optimal. yeah sure

[楊玄。杨玄。LangrisserWWE]

I love and prefer exploring before going to end game bosses. I beat her at 150 and finished the game at 160. I prefer to take her out before I finished the story.

I had fairly heavy armor & 60 vig, survived getting hit by it many times.
So the claim that it kills you in 1 shot is 100% fake.
Also no bloodhound's step.

Yeah its not a one shot if you put 60 points in vigor and wear heavy armor, my brother in Christ not everyone is going to have that. Read OP's message again he says it kills him almost instantly.

I recommend using the "Vow of the Indomitable" ash of war for her flurry attack.

Copied from another comment:

"Use "Vow of the Indomitable" when she does her Waterfowl Dance (use it once to ignore the first flurry, then dodge into her to the left, then stand still for a second and dodge away from her). I've found this to be the most practical solution to her move. If you get caught mid-swing and don't have time to switch to your shield, then dodging into her is the best course here; then proceed just like above."
