Elden Ring Boss is now even more difficult

One of Elden Ring's most difficult bosses has now been made even trickier. It's thanks to a bug in the latest update.

[Silly gameAr]

Malenia was definitely one of the most annoying bosses in Eldensoulsbourne history, but I had more trouble with Malekith. Just thinking about his supernatural tracking skills and uneven hit damage makes my blood boil.

Malenia was the toughest imo, but also one of the most fun aside from sister friede or maria of cainhurst

[Vits]

My issue with Malekith was not even the boss itself it was that god-awful arena. The camera just couldn't keep track correctly of his movement around thanks to the pillars. Malenia I found very annoying to deal with as well, that Waterfowl Dance of hers reminded me more of Ninja Blade than any other title. Being basically a quick-time event.

But I still had fun with both of them. The Elden Beast though? What a boring fight, the arena is too big, it moves a lot and its immunity and huge health pool make it a chore. It is at least super easy and if you use Lord's Divine Fortification it can barely damage you as well.

[Silly gameAr]

Yeah, that's true too. He was super quick, and when you thought you were safe behind a column, and maybe catch your breath for a sec, his attacks would just go right through them and mess you up.

But when I finally learned his move set, and figured out how to get around his attacks, I finally got his ass. I could read Malenia's moves a little easier, and my blood flame build luckily did pretty good against her, but she still beat my ass like a punching bag quite a bit before I got her.

I had fun with both of them too, and love the game, but there were times when it felt super cheap just for the sake of difficulty.

Eldensoulsborne?? I personally go with Soulsbornekiring. XD

[SDuck]

This is getting ridiculous. Why not "bonfire genre"?

[DarXyde]

I'll settle this...

Miyazaki game!

[Black-Helghast]

soulsbornering is the best name. first was demons/dark souls, then bloodborne and now elden ring.

I know sekiro is an amazing game but it's like a cousin to soulsbornering.

[Gianoni33]

Really good boss. I like her.

[Hikoran]

If you could choose a boss to nerf, what would it be? I'd say Malekith..

[Flawlessmic]

Yea malekith was one i really struggled on, his second form would rip me to shreds!!

Its nice now though being able to help other players get past all the bosses i used to struggle with.

They stand no match for my mage now, never knew i would turn on elden literraly just to help other people now.

[Crows90]

I'd say make some more difficult. Some are so extremely easy.

[HeliosHex]

Elden ring is the easiest souls game in the whole franchise. It's good the bosses need to be harder anyway.

[Flawlessmic]

Only if you overlevel, i mainlined the main story outside of the caves i came across and some of the side quests so for me i was probably underleveled or just at the perfect level and this game was not easy.

Obviously if u overleveled it will be easy.

[Crows90]

About 3-5 hits without heals is the sweat spot for me. 2 hits from the strongest attack.

Anything below that usually means you're under leveled.

Most people won't be over leveled for the endgame bosses. You could overlevel in other souls games too. This game removes that grind simply because there's so much content there isn't a need to repeat anything.

[Flawlessmic]

I went with a mage build so that made my charachter a bit of a glass tank, so i was lucky to survive 3 hits.

Wasnt until the end game where i really invested in vig as i was happy with everything else.

But yea the game provided a great challenge throughout, just defeated the last main boss that ive been stuck on which was dragon lord placidux, that every major boss done and dusted 🤙

[Silly gameAr]

If you're overleveled, that also takes a lot of the fun and challenge out of the game.

[Vanfernal]

I've beaten every Soulsborne game + dlc, including Sekiro. I don't farm, I just play the game at its natural progression. I have to agree, Elden Ring is by far the easiest Soulsborne game.

[gammaray13]

they lie, i did her on new game plus 3 and she was not harder at all

[Crows90]

Just defeated the giant in the snow area.

Already beat Melania.

Melania was a lot of fun and the only issue is her special move. Once you know how to manage that she's easy.

[Flawlessmic]

The fire giant was a real pain in the ass too, the least enjoyable boss fight in the game for me, although if u beat malenia already u must be at a pretty high level then.

[Crows90]

100 something with Melania.
Maybe it was like 125. I don't recall.

Giant was pretty easy for me honestly. Most of his attacks were easily dodged.

Just beat the game too.

Hardest for me were Melania and gargoyles.

[Flawlessmic]

Ahh ok that makes sense why fire giant was fairly easy for you, i was about lvl 85 when i took him on and he had very good magic resistance to boot.

Might have been under leveled for him.

Gargoyles werent too bad took them down in a few tries.

Malenia was a prick but bein able to attack from a distance certaiboy made things easier
