Malenia arena should be a rot lake

[EF_Neo1st]

If this lake of rot goes down to Malenia arena:

Why is it Malenia arena is not filled with rot like a full rot lake there??

Because Miquella's Haligtree protect against scarlet rot

You know what, if she during her cutscene, flew around and made rot pour around the arena during the second phase AND SECOND PHASE ONLY, I’d be fine with it. Unless you’ve fought her before she’s gonna hit you with her scarlet aeonia move anyway, so the rot around the arena, as long as it only built up rot and didn’t deal its own damage, would be fine.

Or if the whole arena was at a lake of rot and after defeating her at stage 1 he stage 2 would be without rot (because then she would consume all the rot as the goddess of rot and releasing with the rot bomb).

Any of both cases would maake some sense.

That sounds just as cool yeah

The issue with her being in the lake of rot is that it makes zero sense. To get there she would have needed to kill radahn or be in kathoots with ranni, or would have had to visit the river wells. I think it makes a lot more sense for her to be at the haligtree.

Thing is, the lake of rot above her arena have a fall:

that "clearly falls INTO" her arena:

. . . it only would make sense that the fall would at least create some rot area or fill the whole arena with rot.

Does her arena have something that could explain the lack of liquid? You know, a sewage system or something? Is "sewage" the correct word? Questions, questions.

Dont seem like.
It seem more like "she is too hard already, lets cut the pool/lake of rot from ther arena" type of thing.
There I think it wwas lazy design, they would had implemented something to get rid of the rot, implemented rot just partially at her arena (a lolwer side of her arena could be filled wiith rot), it could have a system to close the lake of rot up there (like a reservoir gate up there), it could be that her arena was filled but at second stage it drains or that she was draining the rot to herself but at second stage it is not . . .

Like, it would make sense that after 2nd stage, where she blooms and after we defeat her, the giant flower keeps drinking and thriving on rot, clearing the lake permanentlly ... but she was clearly not "drinking it" in any way and her body was suffering from it too (meaning she would not get rot to herself, even if she tries to contain the power of rot within herself not using it until she becomes the goddess of rot, maybe "the goddess of rot" is something out of her control too, to what she tries to hold back).

Well, maybe they did not find a way to balance the fight with a lake of rot. Or the original arena have the fight over a grate but did not fit the aesthetics they wanted...

So yeah, lazy design.
