Elden Ring Player Beats Malenia in Less Than 2 Minutes at Rune Level 1

gamerant.com:

An Elden Ring player has just managed to defeat Malenia in less than two minutes while at Rune Level 1. FromSoftware’s blockbuster action-RPG is filled with frightening monsters and punishing bosses for players to challenge, and one of the most noteworthy and difficult is Malenia, Blade of Miquella. This powerful warrior is one of the mystical Empyreans, and while she is an optional boss in Elden Ring, she remains a fierce opponent for aspiring Elden Lords.

Ever since Elden Ring was first released to much critical acclaim last February, players have been posting videos of themselves besting Malenia in creative ways. One especially notable player, operating under the handle of Let Me Solo Her, has gained renown across the Elden Ring fanbase for defeating Malenia no less than 2,000 times with only a ceramic pot on their head and twin katanas in their hands. Others have vanquished Malenia at a mere Level 1 using strategic items, avoiding taking any damage from her, and even battling two clones of the legendary boss at the same time.

A Reddit user named gilfordtan recently shared their own victory against Malenia on r/Eldenring. They went into the fight at Rune Level 1, wielding the fiery Flamberge greatsword and using the Giant Hunt Ash of War to balance their Tarnished’s Strength and Dexterity enough to stand toe-to-toe with Malenia without any additional equipment. As a result of this, gilfordtan manages to take down Malenia in both her default appearance and her second-phase Goddess of Rot form in less than two minutes, with the Giant Hunt skill that the Ash of War grants serving as the final blow.
