      OK so it isn't just me. I had the same problem with the last boss. I cheesed them easily in the first phase and got them down to half in second phase, then suddenly when I went back?, I got eviscerated in the first 10 seconds.

      Nah, he's just insanely impatient. Every time he gets stuck on a boss, it's because he's just impatient, has basically no understanding of the concept of stamina management and relies heavily on running in and smacking the boss like a monke. He also just eats hits in favor of landing a hit so he gets killed by one shot moves a lot. Every time he dies, he gets more impatient and devolves even further into monke.

    The amount of times he died because he just decides to jump attack her over and over without actually thinking about what she’s doing is kind of amazing. He just straight up launches himself into the air directly towards her attacks, he doesn’t even attempt to wait until after a dodge to go for a punish, he just rag dolls himself towards her and hopes for the best. How many times does one have to die mid air for them to realize that dodging needs to take priority over attacking? Like he didn’t even try to learn her move set , ways to dodge them and their telegraphs. He just went full on offense brute force mode over and over again. You can’t just Unga Bunga through every boss fight if you’re not using cheese strats.

      I just used a great shield for the first part of wfd. Sure she heals a little bit while blocking but it was extremely consistent even in the 2nd phase. The move just needs a way to be able to consistently dodge it during the first part or have a longer windup to get clear from the move imo. Other than that great fight.

      @@meru8348 You are correct. I double checked, because I was confusing it for you talking about dodging the whole combo.
      The reason Connor doesn't take advantage of that move is because he's too close for it: seemingly every time malenia whips out the waterfowl, Connor gets hit by the first wave. Probably because he's bad, but also because of the strength build. If he can't run away from the first slashes then there's pretty high odds of being caught by the second and third.

      I'm not saying you can't do it with a STR build or a quality build, and I'm not saying you can't do it with ultra class weapons. But you better accept the fact you will need to execute the fight flawlessly if you do it that way, which means you will probably die a lot just trying to figure out the basics of timing, positioning and not getting greedy. You just can't trade damage with her. Which the whole point of using ultra weapons is trading damage.

    This was painful to watch. So much greed, blind swinging, attempting to go in in the middle of her combos, getting hit by some of the easiest dodgeable attacks like her lunge. JFC.

    The funniest thing about this fight is that you start to memorize her pattern pretty early on just to still get your ass handed to you another 150 times and you’re like lol but wait…

    In my experience, this is one of those fights that you despise while you are doing it, but look back fondly. I was miserable fighting her, but watching it back I absolutely love it.

    I cannot even fathom beating this boss without a fully upgraded long shield. The ability to easily block nearly the entire waterfowl move alone makes the boss a good 30% easier

      Boss is EXTREMELY vulnerable to bleed and you can easily dodge her attacks with bloodhound step, but since no one wants to use those mechanics this fight becomes 100x harder than it has to be
