If I recall the melania fight correctly, I just spammed that blood swarm, and shadow step, or whatever they were called. It melted her and she barely landed a hit.
 
My mimic and I lit her up with the Ranni's Dark Moon Spell.....lol
Did that get nerfed? It's been forever since I fought her.

I don't believe you managed to dodge the waterfowl dance and all the shit she does in her second phase in the first try

Moonlight Great sword. I used its special nonstop until she was dead. Also maxed out mimic. She was pinned against a wall and couldn't even barley get an attack off. Also I was level 150

She also heal doing waterfowl on the mimic.

Sometimes is even not recommended to use summon at all.

I killed Malenia th first time so this is underwhelming and I'm starting to question that $40 price tag even more

Also "largest expansion ever" seems like it's in every Press release for any dlc.

I didn't think Malenia was that bad, only took a few tries solo for me. Definitely some other bosses that gate-kept me for a much longer, especially the last boss, took me months to get it and even then it was largely because I summoned in a random with a great build. Still did my half of the work though.

I actually could have... because something like this happened, but without me doing all that stuff.



But I have a tiny bit of honor, so I reloaded the game.


I regretted it, kind of.

Hopefully let me solo her is still around lol. I fought Malenia about 10 times or so then decided to summon help. After a couple failed attempts I ended up summoning Let me solo her. I let him do his thing. Lol

But I did... I even posted my whole journey on the OT.

It's just that we all have different bosses where we struggled. Mine was the death bird duo and the first Crucible knight. What everyone felt with Malenia, I felt with those two.

People who are saying she's ultra hard are not playing with mimic tear or even summons, on purpose lol. What is even this debate ?

Mimic tears was absolutely OP, of course she is easy if you use it.

But if not she's insanely hard compared to other bosses (someone mentioned fire giant, is that a joke ?).
Yes there are ways to cheese Melania which is not what everyone exploited. I used that fire pillar pyromancy to stun lock her and do massive damage but feel I cheated myself out of the experience. I need to do it again on another playthrough.

Stiff nips.

I think I’ll go through the whole game again by then and go bitch made magic build.

So I can Panzy mode the DLC.

Did they discuss how to access the dlc? Like if I’m in new game plus past the first main boss, can I go here now? Or do I gotta be further in?

Don't forget boss move RNG.

First time I fought Malenia I got to her second phase and never saw the waterfowl move a single time.

Don't think I'll get the expansion, I didn't even finish Elden Ring. But it will be fun watching people conquer the game. Looks fantastic.

Looks like a good solid old school (or cdpr) expansion, Was the monk unarmed part an npc or a new unarmed option for players?
