Using an Astrologer or Prophet class
If you are trying to cheese Melania in the Elden Ring, the Astrologer and Prophet classes will be your best bets. First, focus on your stats. You can get an Elden Ring keepake to mitigate your low health and cast early spells to prevent two-shotting bosses. Secondly, use your Prophet or Astrologer to cast spells on Melania.
The Astrologer class can make use of its spells to scale off of mind and intelligence. It also gives your FP bar an increase, so you can cast more spells between Flasks of Cerulean Tears. You can find a Memory Stone in the open world, or buy one from the Finger Reader Enia. While this item is not very rare, it can be a bit pricey. If you can afford it, the Astrologer class might be a better option for you.
The Astrologer and Prophet classes are the most popular starting classes in the Elden Ring. They are both strong starting classes, but figuring out which build is best for you can be tricky. In addition to their innate abilities, Astrologers have access to powerful spells and are an excellent choice when fighting bosses or swarms of enemies. You should focus on these spells to help you defeat your enemies and survive the Elden Ring adventure.
Using a swarm of flies incantation
The swarm of flies incantion summons the mimic tear which attacks Melania when gaps appear. This powerful one-shot attack stuns Melania, and it can be used to take her out in a single shot. Melania can be stunned for as long as she wears the ring. The best part about this attack is that it’s completely undetectable by the players.
Using a heavy weapon
If you have ever fought the Elden Ring boss, you know it’s near-impossible to kill him. As a prologue tutorial boss, it’s designed to kill you. This means you only have one chance at defeating him, and if you die, you’ll have to restart the game. If you do manage to survive it, you can return later to fight it again. Luckily, you can restart the game, but if you’re new to the game, you’re probably best off avoiding the Elden Ring boss.
