Bosses like Malenia have become household names in the gaming world, as seen by the numerous fan art dedicated to them. A fan recently created a near replica of Malenia's Helm from Elden Ring, her protective headgear.

Sometimes fans get lucky in trying to find the best cheese method for Malenia, like Reddit user Chegs978.

Elden Ring Player Kills Radahn Mid-Air During His Meteor Phase

Chegs978 uploaded a video on Reddit showing their encounter with Malenia during the second phase of her fight, where she becomes even more aggressive. This is when she turns into Malenia, Goddess of Rot, and restores all her HP. The initial parts of the video show her and the user with a nearly full health bar, after which things take a dramatic turn. Chegs978 consumes a Flask of Wondrous Physick and bombards Malenia with a rare madness-based attack called Unendurable Frenzy. Astonishingly, this attack deals unbelievable amounts of damage to Malenia, ranging in thousands of DPS.

After a few successful hits, Malenia begins to stagger but quickly recovers, with her health bar depleting rapidly due to the oncoming attacks. She leaps in the air trying to make a comeback but fails as her HP bar is exhausted before she can land a hit
