“So Miyazaki, what will this boss be like?”
“Well, she’s gonna be really fast like Maria or isshin”
“Ok, so the player will be rewarded for being aggressive and matching her speed?”
“No, if she hits the player she regains health, so if you are aggressive she gets back to full hp”
“Ok, so surely you can parry her with relative ease?”
“No, you need to get off like 4 parties to do one riposte for like 10% of her health”
“Ok, but surely you can play defensively?”
“No, if she hits your sheild she heals even if you don’t take damage. Also, we gave her a move to where she uses spiral floating cloud passage 3 times in a row, but each attack propels her forward through the air. If you get caught in it it’s guaranteed death, and you need a super complex dodge to avoid it”
“Haha..ok, but surely she doesn’t do much damage?”
“No, she can 2 shot a 50 vitality player who has heavy armour”
“Oh..ok, but she doesn’t have much hp, right?”
“No, she has the same amount of hp as some of the giant beast bosses”
“Ok, but she only has one healthbar right?”
“No, she regenerates to 80% once you deal with her first health bar”
“Ok, but surely her second phase isn’t that bad?”
“Nope, she can fly, she has a lunge attack that can inflict mega poison on the player. Also all of her attacks are partially obscured by butterflies and her wings, so you can’t see what she’s doing”
“So, does she have any new weaknesses in the second phase?”
“No, the second phase is a direct upgrade from the first one”
“Is there like, a secret item that makes her weaker?”
“No”
“So ummm, mr Miyazaki, how exactly is she a balanced boss?”
“She is not, and the players will rike it!”
Malenia is one of the most unfair fromstoft bosses in a whil
Don't care, optional boss. Talk shit get hit.
L + filtered + git gud
Do you want the bosses hard or not?
I don't give a shit about difficulty. I play games to have fun, not bash my head against a wall.
If a difficult game is fun, then I will play it up until ot stops being fun.
git gud
post achievement
She's an optional boss. Why would you fight her? Everyone can literally ignore her and won't lose anything in the story.
mimic tear bro
>play game normally with pure str ultra greatsword build
>get to malenia
>finish first phase without getting hit once, just another ds3 boss clone
>oh a 2nd phase
>get hit once and dodge the rest
>ok better be careful
>boss doing some weird animation
>well thx don't mind me, this is gael all over again
>unleash combo for about half her hp before done boss done with animation
>oh look it's the bomb again, this time roll out straight away
>nice the boss even comes straight to me
>dodge hit hit run dodge hit hit hit
>done
yeah sooooo difficult kek
i used moonveil and mimic tear. shes unfair? im gonna be even more unfair.
king of based
she has pretty big lore implications assuming you also did millicents questline.
>filters people with 20 vigor
you have to kill her to get miquella's needle which is needed to unfuck frenzied flame in case you got fingerprinted "accidentally"
*everyone
Vigor has basically no use in this game.
based STR chad
OP is a bitter fag
how was I supposed to know opening the door would fuck me? I assumed there would be an insane finger reader inside. Instead i got FINGERED
This but Frost Uchigatana with Hoarfrost Stomp.
The rare moments when Mimic AI starts actually spamming the Stomp along with you (especially since he has infinite FP) completly stunlocking that bitch in infinite stagger get me so erect.
Fuck that whore.
>Vigor has basically no use in this game.
Lol you retard
Post gameplay
Not salty, just curious, I havent even fought her yet
Is this the chick that Radahn fought against in the lore? Where do I find her?
The only retard here is you. You can pump vigor as hard as you like, you will still get one-shot in late game.
yeah
she's a secret boss found at the very north most point of the map
if you played the game at all you would know most fights end with you have the majority of your estus left when you die, the only amount of vigor that matters is enough to not get one shot by a one off attack the boss you are currently fighting does, thats it
which is 40 vigor for malenia. plus heavy armor and the best phys mitigation talisman. you'll surive grab but it drops you from max to ball hair
Would powerstanceing 2 uchigatana have strictly better dps then just one? Is there any downside to using 2?
kys
longer animation lock and pitiful poise break.
She's really playing Bloodborne while the player is like some trash mob.
A speedrunner who can no-hit run all Dark Souls games with his eyes closed took 8 hours to beat this boss with an UGS. I suppose you are just that much better than him, huh?
blah blah blah go cry at redddit
