This man is the single reason why everyone else is maidenless.
Bruh 😂
😭😭😭
May I ask what does "maidenless" mean in this game? I have seen many people talk about it at the beginning of the game but I still dont understand it.
@@hahung7404 you play as a "tarnished" which is jsut a fancy new word for the "main characters" in souls games basically, and the finger maidens serve the 2 fingers and give guidance and wisdom to them and allow them to have a seat at the roundtable hold. you start off in a closed room with a dead body in it which i assume was your maiden and when you leave the first dungeon some asshole is outside waiting for you to talk shit to you and comments how you are "maidenless" so people just turned it into a meme.
@@hahung7404 correct me if im wrong but im p sure maidens are needed for a tarnished to use runes in order to level up and get stronger which is why melina offered to play the role of maiden for us
"Your strenght, extraordinary. The mark of a true lord."
This time she really means it.

@@DuvalRyprme when I can't understand jokes
i’ve never felt so pathetic in my life i can’t even beat morgott 😭😭
@@BugBoy477 just keep practicing, i've defeated every boss in the game but Malenia is the only boss that i've never seemed to get... fml
Imagine this from Malenia's POV. You're an undefeated demigod and this naked mortal with a stick shows up. You can't land a single hit. He blocks most of your attacks and you straight up miss the rest. This would be horrifying.
And then you become a true goddess, because your rotbloom (which literally annihilated Caelid the second time it bloomed) bloomed a third time and you still can't hit him. I really hate her, but that's humiliating enough that I might feel a little pitty for her.
And then this particularly weak mortal kills you with said stick despite having the strength of a baby mouse and you being able to launch a flurry of attacks so fast it’s hard to see it coming.
Good thing she appears to be blind. 😂😂
The greater will works in mysterious ways
She really did get defeated though, had to have her broken body carried away by some soldier and on top of that destroyed and killed countless and ruined Caelid.
Malenia is a villain

Everyone talks about “Let me solo her” this guy is a living Legend
@@Maria-Yuri my acknowledgment of this guy as living legend doesn’t diminish“let me solo her” impressiveness
@@Maria-Yurithis guy is way more aggressive though, he even hit her during her water flow dance in one of his videos lol
@@Maria-Yuri true, though he is first trying in most videos after this one, but he is around level 200 I believe, both are great
what makes Let Me Solo Her a legend is the fact that he dedicates his time to helping other people who are struggling with Malenia. it's not just about skill
Two legends can, in fact, coexist
Even 70 hours in, I'm still trying to get my parries right and I still have a lot to learn but this guy, this guy has practically perfected his parries to the point where he made Malenia look pathetic. She wasn't even able to get a hit off of him. Godlike skill right there!!!
And not only that, he's able to dodge all attacks!!!!!!!!!
playing Sekiro helps a lot. the name of the game is deflect and dance, Ongbal adapted that style and applied it to every single game he's playing and manhandling everyone with his parry timing. Malenia is definitely a hard boss ngl, but yeah, Ongbal's experience on deflecting everything in Sekiro helps a lot.
Well this guy is probably 1000hrs in so there's that.
@@julrofe it's not like that. it's his overall experience on playing a similar game to this. Sekiro to be specific. if you haven't played Sekiro yet, you're missing a lot.
@@darkstar3116 yup timing is different, Sekiro is a faster game. of course, it will hone your gaming skills in general as well since as I've said, it's faster and Elden Ring is obviously slower than Sekiro.
Imagine being such a powerful warrior that you have never known defeat. You have literally fought a demigod capable of holding back the very stars with his will. And a naked man with a club comes in and bests you to the point where you can’t even touch him.
Can also counter every single thing you try against him requiring raw strength, timing, skill, and confidence.
*Souls borne in a nutshell* lol

I'm not scared about the fact that he killed her only with a club while wearing underwear, which is of course still impressive and amazing, but I'm more scared about the fact that he needed to kill a lot of bosses before reaching her and all of them met the exact same fate.
idk how he beat commander naill however u spell his name those summons he does would’ve been soo annoying for him
Fortunately O'Neil is not mandatory if you just want fight her, you need to kill him if you wanna progress with Millicent's questline so I think he might have just skipped the fight. Honestly I think that if he managed to kill Malenia in underwear he could also kill O'Neil even if it's a bit more tricky. XD

Your videos have inspired me to start a SL1 playthrough myself.
I shall be posting videos of myself beating every boss in ER at RL1 without getting hit! And after that I will come up with different creative ways to fight each boss like you have shown. Love your videos! Thank you for being such a great inspiration!
Malenia, the mighty goddess of rot, the blade of miquella, the unbeatable who has never ever tasted defeat, got parry to death by a semi-naked man wearing underpants with a club and a small shield which is 90% indentical to a frying pan.
Now now, Ongbal merely lowered himself to her equipment level to make it remotely fair for her.
Talk about Humilation
cant underestimate the power of bonk
I mean. That man is the trash bandit. Never lost a duel on the streets or in the sheets. He never failed in a duel and legend has it, only has one life, legend says be said no to melina for levels and torrent because the sheer clapage of his ass allowed for fast travel.
Naked man vs naked woman. I see nothing wrong with that
I was level 150 and it took me 4 days, 3 different builds, and over 100 tries to beat Malenia, and this guy does it at level 1. Some people are just built different.
The thing you're not seeing is all the tries and effort and failure it took to lead up to him being skilled enough to do this, he probably put at least as much time in on normal builds first.

The fact that literally one mistake, one hit from malenia and he literally dies instantly is just crazy. The amount of skill this requires is just mind blowing. Good fucking job man
Would've been the same for all the bosses they had to kill just to unlock Malenia in the first place lmao.
this just requires a lot of time and memorization, very little skill, like all soulslike. Skill is a matter of improv, ideas and execution. This is barely execution when you memorized each frame of every animation of the boss. Skill would be going in blind and doing that.
@@davidetosi2391 Your definition of skill is crap

I was in a fight with her and a dude called “Let me parry her” We didn’t win but close. Next I summoned a bleed looking samurai (same as me) and an OP mage looking dude. She got messed up with double Rivers of Blood from either side and a Mage constantly beaming some canon lol. It was fun!
Had a stroke reading this.
This is amazing man. Props for the grinding and sharpness skill u got. Def inspired to get to her asap. Wish me luck!!!
Just did this today (well, RL1 solo parry kill, can't say no damage), and it's crazy seeing how much of what I had to learn you doing beat for beat. But the real crazy thing is instead of giving yourself any additional advantage, you just did the same strategy over and over, like... 10 more times. Seriously, no bleed, no high damage dagger reposte. You are nuts! I'm still really happy I beat her RL1, but it just goes to show despite feeling like I mastered a fight, there's still Ongbal to give me some perspective.
I feel like people who haven't fought this boss won't fully grasp the depths of how insane this is. Like, not just the fact that you're doing it lvl 1 armourless and any hit will instantly kill you (even a single tic of rot dmg in phase 2), but also just that you're committed to only parrying her. It's just so fucking insane, it must've taken a lot of practice and patience to pull off.
Malenia was really the only boss in Elden Ring that I felt I had to get good at, but even then, I relied heavily on mimic and rivers of blood to pull it off, which is basically cheesing her fight. Still, I felt tremendously satisfied with beating her after losing to her repeatedly for many dozens of attempts.
I cannot fathom how pulling this off must've felt, but I'm guessing it would be a proper reward to make you do this over-and-over with what seems like every fething boss
same i have to use RoB ,Mimic tears (before the nerf) and remembering her attacks but even then it still took ALOT of attempts with those builds. But i manage to beat her with some luck on her second phase, praying that she wont do her clone jutsu and wirlwind attack which luckily she didnt.

It's so captivating to watch your videos! The time you took to recover into the parry loop after 5:00 is the true mark of your skill to me. That shows that it's not just about muscle memory, you have incredible gamesense.
I have one question, if someone could help me understand it, it's greatly appreciated: when Malenia does the Waterfowl Dance, I see that you unequip the Buckler. Is this for timing reasons (e.g.: the input works as an internal metronome Ongbal uses to keep the rythm of the moveset), or is it for dodge effectiveness?
I think it's so he can use bloodhound step
@@MrMoon1303 ah, makes sense! Thank you for your answer :)
This is absolutely incredible, and also really inspirational. I'm level 153 and still can't always get her to second phase. Hats off
The crazy thing about these is always the consistency for me. Anyone can dodge attacks, it's not hard to fight bosses, but zero hits is insane
Definitely feel this way, about speedrunning in general too. Especially when movement comes in over a long period of time in platforming games like Hollow Knight and Celeste. You have to be a machine. That and 1000s upon 1000s of attempts, or so I've heard
He's level 1 so 1 hit would kill him. Bear in mind he can attempt this boss multiple times. Unless this is a 0-death, level 1, playthrough, which I don't see yet.

@@carioceco2315 No. She backsteps in real life.
@@thegrunch6448 😱
I was pretty dumbfounded at this too. I don't think this was the first boss who takes multiple parries before they collapse, but they were resisting with their endurance. Malenia seems to be recognizing the parry and relaxing her hand to absorb the shock. A subtle difference that really shows her being one of the best combatants of the whole game.
@@Chaffee738 Like, it's a game it doesn't need to make physical sense, probably they just programmed her like that so it doesn't get as easy as gwyn from ds1, but just the fact that she makes sequences of attacks at the speed of sound which is something you only see in shonen animes already shows that the game wasn't very committed to making some level of physical sense
I did it too, but not at rank 1, and I drank the remedies, and with that, it took me 14 hours. It was crazy. I showed it to us as a very easy thing. A really great video, and I knew its magnificence after I tried to kill her in the same way.
This is mental. What a skilled player! Brilliant!

I have never seen the parry form of Malenia's Death. Thanks for posting this.
I've been working on parry with Melania for five evenings now. Bout three hrs each time. My parry times are perfect and consistent now. No misses. I can parry every slow swing, every fast swing.. sometimes lol, her swish attack and her thrust attack. But i can't escape waterfowl. I've rewatched this vid multiple times and only now finally saw that he was useing bloodhound step to evade her first flurry. Now that all the pieces are there, my five day practice session will come to a epic close. Honestly.... once parries are understood, Melania is powerless.
Wow I missed the bloodhound step too! Good eye!
@Skibbity Bop damage negation doesn't matter if parrying is the goal. Buckler parries have a high window for parry
That’s what I absolutely *love* about Elden Ring compared to other games. You *need* to use a significant amount of critical thinking to actually proceed through the game. If you just *can’t* beat a boss needed to continue the game, even after 30 tries, you’re not ready. I find it super fun finding all the pieces that need to fit together in order to beat tough bosses (usually some combination of an increase in my own skill, as well as an increase in my character’s level and items)
This is also why I think it can be quite frustrating for people who are used to hack and slash-types.
It was honestly quite strange returning to God Of War and unintentionally beating it just by casually playing through the story…
How do you parry the slower attacks??
@@LillyAnarkitty delay your parry, as long if its parriable

Hes using Bloodhound Step
@@wollny92 They are talking about the last flurry, also this was 3 weeks ago when people knew less about the game.
@@bubbleburster2813 you're saying that like he didn't walk thru da anime slash
There are seven hits in the water fowl attack, in 3 groups, the first group has 3 hit boxes (all with audio cues). This one is best avoided by running away, if she does it when standing next to you, run away and then dodge diagonally to her right side. The second group has 2. You diagonally into her. The third (3 hitboxes) can be really hard because of how she'll manipulate your camera. It'll snap onto her part way through the third waterfowl, and you roll back. Otherwise, you can roll forward slightly before this camera change happens. Takes about 4-6 hours to learn, but you can speed it up by doing some runs where you don't hit her and just learn the dodges.
Truly impressive, superbly done.

When you see a seemingly frail man in loincloth with a measly club in his hand, RUN
That's insane, this guy is in another level.
The true parry lord.
i've been in multiplayer assists where there's three of us. Overleveled, over buffed, summoning mimics, and still running around like chickens with our heads cut off hoping to not be the poor soul in the AOE ball of sword attack. This is incredible.
i dont think you can use spirit ashes while in other peoples world
You can just fight them near one of the walls at the left as soon at you enter the arena so she gets stuck at them during her waterfowl dance
yeah this ended up being my experience, bully her towards a wall and then blend her. And then after the big flower attack in the phase 2 transition, everyone just spam swarm of flies. She was dead in seconds.
I don't think its really possible to be overlevelled with malenia.
That sounds about how I beat her. No real skill. I randomly picked Oleg the dual-wielding banished knight and found out he is really good at stun locking her. Then I just wail at her when she's distracted and turtle up for every other attack, including the murderous fowl dance. I frantically try to brute force her second phase by chugging estus and wailing on her to kill her as quickly as possible. Literally can't even see any of her attacks since I didn't try to dodge when she's blasting from above me. Never knew there was an attack where she sends her spirit at you. Like fighting a giant by smacking their leg and not being able to see 90% of their attacks. Headless chicken indeed.
Someone show this to Kai when he finishes the game 😅
When I did rl1 I used glintblade phalanx and the miscericorde and it took me 6 hours.The fact that he managed to do it with the club is insane.Great job.
It's insane how quickly you recognise waterfowl in phase 2 and switch out ash of wars. Any time she jumps in the air I'm basically panic rolling like a headless chicken

Watching this video and Let Me Solo Her’s taught me more about the fight than several hours worth of attempts
You inspired me to solo Melania for the first time I used your same method and after 3 days I finally soloed her thank you
I gotta say, after repeatedly watching your impeccable gameplay, I learned the parry timings for this fight and eventually won it.
So thanks for that. Keep it up. 👍
What was the sweet spot for the parry? Is it a bit before her blade hits you or just before it’s gonna hit you? I can never tell if i need to memorise her moves to learn the parry or there is something that is consistent
@@snixtysnixt the way that parry frames work in Elden Ring is that there's a bit of start-up time, then the parry window. If you get hit during the start-up frames, you don't parry the attack, you block it. If you get hit during the parry window, you parry the attack. So you don't parry instantly (like maybe you've seen in Sekiro.) You need to press the parry button a little while before the attack will land.
Depending on what weapon, shield, or weapon art you're using to parry, the start-up frames and the parry window are different in length. Generally, the lower the start-up time and the higher the parry window, the easier it is to parry with because there's more leeway if your timing is slightly off. Check out this video to see the different timings. When the character flashes white, that's the parry window. czcams.com/video/yX0mT_NQh7k/video.html
Ongbal uses a buckler to parry most of the time, and you can see in the video I linked that the buckler has one of the largest parry frame windows available (what Ongbal does is still VERY impressive though). Small shields also have a generous parry window. Daggers, medium shields, and other weapons have smaller parry windows with longer start-up time, so it's much harder to parry with them consistently, especially if you're fighting something with fast attacks.
With Malenia, it looks like all of her parryable attacks are telegraphed pretty well, and her timing is pretty consistent, so parrying her is about just learning her moves and timings, not about having fast reflexes. Ongbal also has a video where he uses a dagger to parry her, which has a longer start-up time, so you can definitely read her moves in advance. But that's just what it looks like to me based on this video, without having fought her myself.
@@snixtysnixt The comment @bananana wrote is pretty accurate.
I just want to add a few points to that.
- Memorizing what attacks are *not* parryable (like the kick here) is important. You need to know their starting animation.
- While parrying with Buckler, look at Malenia's hands. You are parrying the *hand* not the sword. As soon as you see the hand *start to move toward you* you need to press parry.
- If you're a parry beginner like myself, either use buckler or if you want an even easier option go with Golden Parry/Carian Retaliatin Ash of War. The Golden Parry lets you put a tiny bit of distance between you and the boss and give you an easier window of parry. With Buckler you need to be very close to the boss.
- One vital thing I learned the hard way; beside timing, your *positioning* is also key in successful parries. When Malenia changes directions by quick-stepping you should also move to correct your positioning. Just move a bit, lock-on will do the job and position you right in front of her. but as soon as she stops moving and initiates the attack you should too. Otherwise you will perform a failed partial parry. Too took me a while to learn.
Good luck. Learning to parry her is one of more fun strats IMO.
How do you parry? I have tue brass shield level 8, and I have the ashes of war on the shield. I used to parry a lot on Ghost of Tsushima, I can’t seem to get it right here.
Ps5, great connection and I play on a monitor with 1ms input delay.
I do appreciate every help.
Im level 55. A beginner I know
I remember that after killing her I felt exhausted and like a god since I did it without summons or help from other players at around level 120, and I managed to do it just because I abused bloodhound step and used the normal claws with absurd levels of bleed in them.
This guy is just nuts and it reminds me of when I started helping people out with this boss like 7 days ago, i got summoned along with a naked wretch, that guy OBLITERATED the boss, the host and I just sat in the ground and saw how this mad man killed malenia without getting hit, it was excruciating.
Edit: if anyone’s wondering, this motivated me to begin my journey as a level 1 wretch, so far I’ve gotten to the yellow Godfrey, has been pretty fun ngl.
Edit2: I have 2 things to say:
1.-yay already beat Elden ring as rl1
2.-why are there so many salty people about the fact that I used bloodhound step? Lmao
I managed to bat malenia second try with just the stone of gurranq, a scythe and some flies but yeah, those naked guys are terrifying
@@thehogfather5872 honestly I liked killing her with claws and bloodhound step since it felt like fast paced gameplay, the only reason I got killed a ton of times was that bullshit attack she does in both phases, I never learned how to dodge it properly so I just spammed bloodhound step lmao.
I think it took me around 35 tries? Like 10 for killing her first phase and 25 her second, her second fase was only hard because of that one attack where she levitates in the air, summons scarlet rot skeletons as attacks and creates a small air current that soft locks you if you enter there.
The only attacks that killed me in this boss were the ones that soft locked me and deal constant damage, if that didn’t happen I could’ve easily killed her in 10 tries, it’s a tough boss but not as most people make it seem, it’s pretty fun to play against her.
@@salarmer1633 i got her second phase down to 25% first try then got snagged by her flower, i realised the cleanrot knights scythes ash of war was pretty worthless early off against her, i just spent most of the time learning all her moves.
Second try i managed to do it nearly hitless until right at the end where i got snagged right at the end by the little explosion at the end of her big flurry.
Did something similair to sister friede in ds3, did her near hitless first try.
THEN ON THE COMPLETE FLIPSIDE I'M STRUGGLING TO BEAT GIDEON OFNIR
In dark souls when you got invaded by a naked guy you might as well force quit the application because you are going to die and lose all your souls xD
@@salarmer1633 she’s tough for people who don’t use bloodhound step or shields
Makes the hardest boss fight, possibly ever, like it’s any other day. Respect.
if he's making Isshin looks like an absolute dumbfcuk, no wonder he's making Malenia looks so easy. I am watching Ongbal for more than a year now and I'm still rewatching his videos lol. this dude is insane.
Wow, just wow! Simply incredible!
This video makes me very interested in learning how to parry for her. Malenia is basically a Sekiro boss and that whole game was close range parrying and deflecting. In addition, this might be the one fight where being Light Loaded might be incredibly helpful against her.
Light load really helped me against her & Maliketh.
@@preyo6511 yeah it’s something I don’t often hear too many people speak of. It’s such a helpful tactic just to get better rolls and quicker runs. Especially when the boss is faster than you.
@@AjaxTheAx pretty sure running is unaffected by weight unless you pass a threshold and are overloaded. The rolls are def nice tho
@@obito_0525 Got to be a reason for light, medium and heavy load. Pretty sure light is slightly faster than medium. Trying to get my str up so I can achieve light load with rad's armor and 2 halberds.
@@Zigarius1123 for real, people say light load difference is so negligible it's not even worth it, but even the slighted different is speed is very useful against this boss.
Plus, most people get immediately one shot or Comboed anyway, have light Armour on shouldn't matter if you're usually one shot regardless lol.
What is so impressive with this fight is the consistency. I have been trying to repeat it, and one mistake ends the run. I can get to her second phase, but just one mistep and I'm back at the start. Really impressive consistent parrying my man!
THE STONES TO RUN THROUGH THE WATERFOWL DANCE OH MY LORD ALMIGHTY
Hi I just wanted to say that I beat malenia using this video as a guide and I gotta give you the thanks for help me to beat finally this boss 😂
Honestly would love to watch a full game playthrough with this lvl 1 wretch just owning everything. 😁
It's so satisfying seeing how you know all the proper spacing for bating and evading! Amazing work!
I love how the most replayed moment is you perfectly dodging the waterfowl dance.
This is nuts. Flawless.
I can only imagine the hours spent practicing this fight. To get to this level is to go EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!
I mean my guess is that he has been grinding skill on souls games for 10 years, so his mind and body are one united daoist wave of cold water, with all knowledge of parrying, blocking, dodging. So by the time Elden Ring comes along, he is ready for anything
if you know ongbal he did it in two tries.
Lol he’s only level one I bet it didn’t take him long at all to get to it :p
Ok goku 😄
The minutes spent downloading a parry bot you mean?
This is one of the most masterful displays of skill I've ever seen.
You're surprisingly skilled, son of Owl.
Man, and I'm here on level 130 and can't even get to her second phase ^^
Incredible as always, ong bal!
I’ve rarely been this impressed in my life. Such precision. Amazing
Seriously well done, consistently reacting to the fast swings without predicting is much harder than it looks
Never seen anyone do it like this. Flawless! Makes it look es
Ongbal's gameplays is the true meaning of do you remember the pattern of enemies or not, there is no between
"I have never known defeat"
Some naked guy with a stick and a trashcan lid: ok
Bro the outspacing, perfectly timed rolls, and parries, you really do have the mark of a true lord
Truly a bad ass best player I've seen so far
This is a good screen-saver, all day
Managed to finally beat her myself after about 6-7 hours of trying using Dual Daggers (Black knife & Blade of Calling). I never ever could figure out how to dodge her Waterfowl Dance so I ended up just using Bloodhound Step and booking it across the room every time. I actually studied your previous video to try and learn the parries...but couldn't do that either haha. Insane gameplay as always! Looking forward to how you handle the last few bosses.
For waterfowl seems like you roll away, roll in, then backout or roll out, then go in for punish
@@JogBird probably worth noting he's using bloodhound step for the first dodge in this video.
@@JogBird Oh yeah, I've tried but my timing/spacing was always off and I ended up being the one to get punished haha.
i find it interesting how long it takes people to figure out how to dodge her combo, as someone who didnt really care for the other souls games/is basically a newcomer, it seemed pretty obvious distance is key after getting one shot by it once or twice >.
@@JunJunisKing Well, yes and no. Even when if I booked it across the room the moment I saw her winding up her Waterfowl Dance, she would still catch up to me, so for the last 1-2 slashes of it I had to bloodhound step backwards diagonally to not get clipped. It's a little more than simply keeping distance, because she covers a whole lot of distance. That paired with the fact that since I was using daggers, if I wasn't close enough to smell her breath my attacks would whiff so I had to REALLY get all up in her business as much as possible. But yeah I dunno why it took me so long either haha, I spent a lot of that time trying to be cool and parry her before I gave up and just went back to simply dodging as best as I could.
4:57 I thought you couldn’t even dodge this. I was in awe seeing how flawlessly you dodged though!
You inspired me to perfect this boss fight. I hope I can do/become even a little of what you display.
This is what gives me hope in my next encounter with her. I gave up trying to do it solo after getting to her phase 2 on my own and then only getting there a handful of times after additional solo attempts. I originally planned to only use a summon to quickly get to phase 2 to practice it more, but after she was still tough, I gladly ended the fight and was just relieved not seeing her stupidly broken combo anymore. I get the tracking and the multiple phases of it, but does it really have to catch me when I am 50 feet away trying to run for my life.
Remember they're light encumbered. Rolling is faster or something. If you want to roll out of it yourself, you may not be able to unless you strip.
@@somebodyintheworld5036light rolling takes the same but goes further,so it is good for dodging moves that require good positioning,that being mostly barrages,moves with a lot of active frames and breath like attacks
What why? That doesn’t even seem hard lol
Just a tip for future fights OP, assume EVERY move can be dodged. It may be difficult, but I've yet to find something that I can't dodge with careful movement and/or the rolling mechanic.
i’m doing a golden parry hitless attempt. i don’t approach closer than a few feet and otherwise just stand there and react. at first i couldn’t get a successful parry-rate of the super quick slash of even 0.5. but then i realised she only does that attack AT CERTAIN TIMES-IF you play in the style i described above. she does it after being riposted, or rather, after recovering from the free hit you get post riposte; and she does it WHEN WALKING TOWARDS YOU. before, i couldn’t parry it consistently at any other time other than at post riposte because i thought she could do it at any time, and staying hyper alert for it all the time was just too exhausting. but now i know that she will only do it when she is walking towards you, and at that post riposte time, so i only need to turn on the hyper awareness at those specific times, which only ever last for a few seconds, and then i can completely relax in-between. this means i can preserve the keenness of my awareness for when it’s needed. the rest of the moves are more or less trivial by comparison to parry, if playing in the style i mentioned, so i can pretty much let my eyes drift to a random corner of the screen and just use my peripheral vision at all other times. it seems holding my breath when waiting for the move helps to react on time.
Thank you so much! I've run into this problem myself but didn't recognize the pattern.
@@niklaspeter2568 no problem. after enough practice you’ll probably find you won’t need to stand still anymore and will be able to approach her aggressively because you’ll be so used to catching that move’s tell that it won’t matter whenever she throws it out randomly. still an extremely fast attack though! and unless i’m really on the button it’ll always get me. without a doubt her most difficult move, by a big margin-if not for that move, the hours it’s taken me to do this challenge would have been at least halved.
This is one of the greatest achievements in gaming. The fact that you need 3 parries in a row to crit her is crazy enough. Throw in that if you miss one parry, she will kill you in the two hits that will follow your miss. Add on her insane arsenal of attacks and health pool, and boy oh boy, what an amazing fight.
1 hit cause lvl 1
Freakin insane!!! This man fully grasps the mechanics of this game to a mastery
This guy is from another world, how can he parry like that?! It's so perfect, unbelievable!
Shadows die twice!
COOL COOLER COOLEST
@Kermit with an AK I've been practicing parry but I'm not even close to what he does, every enemy has different timing which make things even harder
Malenia is basically a sekiro boss in a souls game. This man played sekiro
4 months tip, i believe buckler has the most parry frame of all parry shields, use it if you want to parry things
Ese Parry que le hacía es una belleza 😍 yo ni a los primeros Guerreros puedo hacerles eso en un primer intento. 😪
Your strength...extraordinary!
Now this is badass. Excellent dodges and parries. Great work.
I parried her twice early on, and thought the game was showing me she couldn' be parried. Knowing that she can and it takes 3 is deeply upsetting.
I can only say one thing here… You are a true legend
The parry techinique when mastered makes you nearly invencible
Those reactions, insane as always!
