Malenia is the toughest boss to beat in all of Elden Ring. I don't think that's a statement many would argue with. Thank goodness beating her isn't mandatory if you want to finish the game. Many of you have opted to battle Malenia though, and some of you have become so adept at knowing what she can do, and more importantly what can damage her most, that one of you has managed to beat the most intimidating boss in all of The Lands Between in just ten seconds.
That's right, that Elden Ring boss you spent hours throwing yourself against to no avail, and maybe even bailing on altogether, can be beaten in ten seconds with the right tools at your disposal. Jdyhrberg posted evidence of their quick battle against Malenia on the Elden Ring subreddit. As if doing so to make absolutely everyone else who has ever faced Malenia feel inferior wasn't bad enough, the clip appears to be a direct response to someone beating the boss in 17 seconds just days earlier.

Actually, there's no appears about it. Jdyhrberg wrote right there in the caption that they had seen the 17-second boss fight and raised them a ten second one. The Elden Ring pro throws themselves right at Malenia, triggering the mid-match cutscene after just five seconds. Once the cutscene has been skipped, they proceed to throw a freezing pot at the Blade of Miquella before running at her again, bringing the battle to an end in a little over ten seconds.
The impressive feat has naturally generated a lot of discussion in the replies. Jdyhrberg admits they basically used the same build as RS_LionHeart, the player who beat Malenia in 17 seconds right before this ten second achievement.
