is everyone beating Maliketh with summons or something?

[succ]

im trying to do it solo, but i just can't, he never ever stops attacking, you can barely ever get a hit in and he does absolutely insane damage, i don't see many people seeming to have problems with this boss? ive beaten every souls and sekiro game atleast twice and no bosses seemed as BS as this one

[General Tenebrous]

By the time you get to Maliketh, you realize late game bosses deserve no respect and just cheese them. So yeah, no threads regarding Maliketh being BS because everyone already found that out when they got to Fire Giant.

@chewonthis
In youtube you say ng+

and it doesnt really matter.....

+10 mimic and status effect procs is basically godmode combination
ofc its easy
what is hard about slashing a boss in the back while he is distracted ?

if you want to do it this way
its fine
i can accept that.

but basically "cheesing" a boss and then saying its easy is what i personally rate cringe

Pls don't tell ppl they are "cheesing", tho, because they aren't. Sure it's easier, but any option given by the game is viable and perfectly fine. "Cheesing" is an accusation and sounds like you tricked the game or exploited a glitch or something.

He has a lot of big openings...guess you just aren't seeing it. There is no 1v1 boss that doesn't have a ton of openings.

[Pozzy Vibes GGHF :)]

He was hard, I did it solo with blasphemous claw parry and bleed.

Fire giant is the easiest boss out of required ones... I'm not even jesting or downplaying. His moves are very slow and extremely telegraphed. You can roll trough anything even without good reaction time.

Maliketh is also well telegraphed, but he's incredibly fast and here you do need fast reaction. With a heavy weapon you don't have many windows for attacking, but Blasphemous Claw creates them.

I should have clarified. What I meant was that there were tons of posts regarding people wanting help with fire giant, fire giant needing nerfs, fire giant ending their runs because he felt unfair, fire giant not being fun, no longer cheeseable with the fall damage cheese, so now he's impossible, etc. No such threads regarding Maliketh. I imagine for the players that did stick around, there were 0 Fs given past that point and they just summoned for Maliketh and every end game boss because they just weren't having fun anymore.

In youtube I say i'm a few NG+ in.....in other words a couple is 2 and a few is 3....regardless of that fact I also slashed the other bosses in the back without a mimic so I guess i chessed them to.......

Also I implore you to use a mimic with dual antspurs then look over in a fight and be like wtf are you doing mimic the rapiers are already procced......

I'm also fairly certain that I completely dodged his attacks and took no damage in order to get behind him in the first place and when i finally did take damage it was because I was willing to trade for the final blow.

Last but not least mimic AI is that of an idiot. If I really needed help in this fight i'd use headless or tiche

Well he is completely skipping phase 1

Malekith attacked him a total of 0 times and 1st phase lasted 7 seconds of him slashing a not fighting back boss in the back with bleed proccs.....

Phase 2 he got attacked 3 times within 1 single attack pattern and he got hit 2 times ... but it didnt matter since he barely recieved any damage (high level 200+ ?) and with status procs phase 2 was over in 15 seconds.

So all in all
he did not engage with any of malekiths mechanics
he basically just skipped the fight mechanics completely by using completey broken combo

yes its in the game.

But i personally would not even say he did really fight Malekith
Fight lasted 22 seconds in total where he got attacked by Malekith for 6 seconds and 16 seconds is slashing malekith in the back proccing status effects while he was busy with fighting the mimic.

Still its completely okay when he does it this way.
all good
everyone as he enjoys

just dont tell others the fight is easy when you actually skip it.

I dont say Godskin Duo is easy despite being aware you can just sleep both and dont have to fight any of them.
you can just sleep them and kill them in their sleep
and yes that also in the game.....
but i still say that is cheese

[chewonthis]

godskin duo fight was over before my mimic was even fully spawned.....was not even worth recording. And i'm fairly certain maliketh targeted me phase 1....I out manuevered.

The combo is my "least broken" as you claim...the dps is crap and the range for fighting maliketh in phase 2 makes it the stupidest option to use or one of the more challenging depending on how you look at it.

UGS is harder than Slv1 runs with a fast weapon in elden ring. Not much difference between a level 1 run and a 50 vigor run when both die is around the same number of hits. Then UGS runs are actually more difficulty since they have slower startup and recovery times, so they are actually at more of a risk of taking that hit.

Not to mention he is using the cheese item that is easily missable to parry the boss.

So sounds like you need to GIT GUD at common sense.

Until NG+7 or higher it sure feels like a joke.
