Elden Ring Player Finally Beats Malenia After 1,800 Tries and Over 38 Hours
An Elden Ring player finally beats Malenia after 38 hours and many failed attempts. Elden Ring features several difficult bosses, and a few of them are considered to be some of the hardest bosses in FromSoftware’s catalog.
Malenia is one of the most difficult bosses in Elden Ring, and she has two phases like many other tough boss fights. She also has a unique passive bonus that makes the encounter even tougher as she heals herself upon landing every hit, and it even works when players are blocking. So, users have no option but to dodge her hits and start their counter-attack. Malenia’s difficulty is well-known among the gaming community, and it took one fan an absurdly long time to finally defeat her.

The player now plans to continue their journey across Elden Ring’s open world and lists their current death count at 7420. The Malenia boss fight contributed to more than a quarter of the total number of deaths.
The user has shared an image to go along with the post that lists some rules they had to follow, such as not spending any points on the Strength attribute until Dexterity is at 99. Volcanicmelodies also claims to have not looked at any Elden Ring guides or watched videos of strategies on how to beat her. The image includes their Twitch username with videos of the 38 hours they spent on this boss, presumably to allow users can verify their claim.
