Elden Ring Player Manages To Beat Malenia With No Hits Using Only Consumables

gamerant.com:

New builds are tested against Malenia as an Elden Ring player manages to beat her without getting hit by only using consumables on her. With the multitude of weapons, items, armor, and consumables in Elden Ring, the possibility for new builds is near endless. While testing them on a regular playthrough of the game is fine, players want to challenge the build they just created by taking on the game's most iconic boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella. One player decided to take consumable weapons against her, not relying on their weapons to get them through the tough fight.

Being one of Elden Ring's toughest bosses to fight, Malenia can even take down experienced players with ease. A trial insurmountable by many, she comes at the player fast with multiple slashes that can leave them feeling overwhelmed by the assault, sliced to ribbons under her blade. Even when the player manages to beat her Blade of Miquella form, she transitions to her second phase, Goddess of Rot, which adds the destructive Scarlet Rot effect to the fight, finding new ways to kill the player.

One player took to using consumables against her, a practice that has seen success before, like when Elden Ring players used glintstone scraps against their PVP invaders to take them down. In the video posted to r/Eldenring, user DaddyWhoGames is shown taking on Malenia wearing nothing but a Jar helmet with a Jellyfish Shield in one hand, and a Twinbird Kite Shield in the other. While momentarily using the Contagious Fury skill from the Jellyfish Shield, they use that extra damage afforded to them to throw consumables such as Spark Aromatics, Volcano Pots, Magic Pots, and more all the while dodging her attacks
