General tips
Mage build - how to fight?
Malenia is a humanoid boss that is notorious for evading attacks.
Since you’ll miss her with most spells, equipping the aforementioned sorceries is your best option.
A good strategy is to hold down the spell charging button when using the Night Shard sorcery.
For this reason, it’s a good idea to equip theRadagon Icontalisman before the fight.
This will increase the damage dealt when charging up your sorceries/incantations.
It’s critical to control your position on the arena.
Despite the arena being huge, you gotta run in the opposite direction when Malenia slashes at you.
After defeating Malenia for the first time, the fight will proceed to the second stage.
She will always start off this stage with an aerial attack.
Retreat to a safe distance after dodging the mid-air attack, then castComet Azur.
Malenia will remain stationary for 6-7 seconds, rendering her vulnerable to the Comet.
She will take a lot of damage.
However, don’t stand too close since you’ll end up taking damage from scarlet rot.
The Comet will also start flying in different directions.
The fight will be much the same as in the first stage, except her attacks will applyscarlet rot.
You should also keep an eye out for one additional move.
Malenia will hover up slightly before creating clones of herself.
While keeping an eye out for Malenia’s strikes, weave in some quick spells.
During this stage, she is much more aggressive than before.
Keep your distance while trying to stay in the center of the arena.
Melee build - how to fight?
You will be attacked almost immediately after entering the arena.
Malenia will most likely quickly dash towards you and deliver a series of horizontal blows.
Be ready to dodge -ideally when your opponent starts swinging her weapon.
This can both prolong the fight and make it more challenging.
Watch out forMalenia’s attack with her left hand.
This indicates that she will attempt to grab you.
If she succeeds, she will throw your character into the air and then stab you with her sword.
This move is extremely damaging and, like all other attacks, restores the opponent’s HP.
The one exception is when she uses a move that resembles a tornado of blows.
You’ll have to resort to dodging a few times.
by hovering in mid-air and preparing to attack.
Malenia can also lift itself up and create duplicates, which will disappear after attacking.
If you prefer a heavier weapon, theBlasphemous Bladeis an excellent choice.
