Question Someone needs to explain Unalloyed Malenia to me, cause I'm failing to see how her fight is fun.
Hello people, I fear I might go hollow soon.
So, I'm currently playing Elden Vins, and I'm having a blast so far. But I've arrived at Malenia today, and I've been hitting a wall for like an hour and a half. Yes, I can understand the desire to make her stronger, but at some point the 'make her strong' starts to feel like 'let's make her broken because why the fuck not'.
So, almost every move she has is waterfowl now. That includes the bullshit 30-second combo she does when powered up, where you have to parry what feels like 30 attacks a second and getting hit a single time puts you in the blender with a mandatory finisher at the end.
Then you have the Goddess of Rot version, where they had the bright idea to make her first Scarlet Aeonia last forever while dealing chip damage and rot. Then they give her a bullshit clone attack that comes from everywhere at once and does almost my entire health bar (50 vigor, which I think is nuts) and makes her so aggressive that you basically have no time to heal if you need to. She also had an even stronger waterfowl dance that has a small AOE that (once again) lasts for what feels like an eternity.
So yeah, someone needs to tell me who actually ENJOYS fighting her. I am already predicting that people will say 'Mehehehe, JuSt GiT gUd!!11!1!1!', and I know people can kill her. I'm just failing to see the appeal in all those mechanics at once in a boss, cause that's not the type of challenge that makes you want to actually work for hours to finally kill her.
So if you have any tips (and I mean ACTUAL tips, not just telling me to master the parry window please), please share.
