This guide will help you defeat Malenia, Blade of Miquella, the optional boss in Elden Ring. Malenia is a unique battle type that will appear after you unlock the Forbidden Lands by activating the Grand Lift of Rold. You can face this boss only after you have completed the Grand Lift and reached the Consecrated Snowfields. The best way to defeat Malenia is to use Scarlet Bloom, a unique combo attack that you can use to damage the enemy.

Scarlet bloom

Using the Scarlet bloom to fight Malenia is a good strategy to use against her. During this phase, she will stay motionless but will occasionally stomp her foot to generate a plume of rot. Her openings will be much smaller during this phase, so you should try to attack her while she is immobile. The scarlet rot is a serious problem for Malenia, so you should be sure to use Preserving Boluses to keep your HP high.

After you’ve completed the quest, you can return to the main area by going to the small room with a site of grace. This becomes your teleport waypoint. You can then head back to the big lake and fight the Great Grave Glovewort, a Tree Spirit. This quest can take several hours, so it’s best to start early. The best way to get the best possible rewards is to level up your character quickly, so be sure to have a strong party and lots of Flasks!

Charge attack

In Elden Ring, you can use your sword’s Charge attack to cut through enemies. You will need a decent amount of Strength, Dexterity, and Faith to use this special weapon. You should also have a great Weapon Skill, The Queen’s Black Flame, to use this weapon effectively. You can even use a shield to enhance the effect of your Charge attack. The following are tips to improve your Charge attack in Elden Ring.

First, make sure your Elden Ring has a good weapon. The most common weapons to charge with in Elden Ring are the Dragon Greatclaw and the Sacred Relic Sword. This is because these two weapons have different stats and have different effects on different enemies. In addition, the Dragon Greatclaw has a less than optimal Weapon Skill. Also, despite their lower damage, they have built-in lightning damage. Lightning damage is a common weakness in Elden Ring enemies, so it’s a good idea to have a weapon that can deal lightning damage.

Uppercut combo

An uppercut combo is the most common method of attack in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, as it can catch the enemy off guard. Malenia’s sword arm attack has a high-pitched shriek and crimson sparks. It can be dodged, but it is not as effective as other versions. This combo will almost always require a follow up attack.

Using an uppercut and slam is the best way to counter Malenia’s powerful flying attacks. The latter can be dodged or blocked as long as you are close to Malenia. An uppercut combo also allows you to delay the slam if you’re in range. However, if you’re far away, you’ll be unable to land your uppercut, so you should run away instead.

Malenia has two phases – the first is a combo, while the second one resets her health. While she is dealing damage, Malenia heals herself. A good way to counter this is to hit Malenia two or three times with the same uppercut combo. A jumping attack is also a good way to avoid Malenia’s slashes and evade the damage they deal.

Slashing attack

Your weapon has a Slashing attack. This type of attack deals slashing damage to the opponent, and it’s effective against unarmored and lightly armored enemies. Many weapons can deal slashing damage, including katanas. If you’re planning to use this type of attack often, you should make sure that your weapon has a heavy armor set.

Damage types in Elden Ring are categorized by physical or elemental. Physical damage is typically dealt by melee weapons, while elemental damage applies to armament, spells, or other objects. Generally speaking, physical damage inflicts the most damage and can cause the most damage. Inflicting this damage requires a high Strength stat. Whips do moderate damage, but are ineffective against armored enemies. While whips have a long reach, they’re not particularly powerful.

Twinned Knight Swords are an excellent slashing weapon in Elden Ring. They scale better with high strength and dexterity, and they cause a bleed status effect quickly. If you want to maximize the effect of this attack, you should use the Twinned Knight Swords. These swords can also be upgraded to the highest level, and they have excellent poison build up.
