The Hand of Malenia is a powerful weapon that can help players out in various situations, including Elden Ring NG+ runs, multiplayer PvP, and boss fights. To get the Hand of Malenia, players must first kill the Miquella, Blade of Miquella, located at the bottom of Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree. To get the Hand of Malenia, players must also obtain two Haligtree Secret Medallions. They can be found at the Village of Albinaurics, and the Haligtree Secret Medallion (Right) is available in the same place.

Defeating Malenia’s katana
You can get the Hand of Malenia by defeating Malenia. You can also find her in the lower region of Mountaintops of the Giants, where you can find Morgott the Omen King. After defeating her, you can use the Haligtree Secret Medallion to activate the Grand Lift of Rold and travel to the Consecrated Snowfield.
One way to counter Malenia is to avoid her uppercut attacks. Her sword is long enough to catch unwary attackers, so you must avoid her uppercuts to avoid being caught. Once you’ve swung away from her, you can use the katana’s step slash to catch her in the back. You can also block this attack by jumping forward and then slashing with the sword.
After defeating Malenia, you’ll receive 480,000 runes and the Remembrance of the Rot Goddess. This ring is useful if you want to use a STR/DEX katana, but the ring is even better if you have a lot of runes. You can also use the Elden Ring to enchant items and increase your Dexterity.
Getting more Remembrances
Getting more Remembrances is an essential part of the Elden Ring quest line. Remembrances are consumable items that can be traded for weapons and runes. You can bequeath as many of these items as you want, but you’ll need a certain amount of them in order to get the ring. In addition, you can only clone so many of them.
The best way to duplicate Remembrances is to visit a mausoleum. These can be found throughout The Lands Between, but not every mausoleum is accessible. You can try to duplicate a Remembrance in several places at once if you don’t have enough of one type. However, you can’t duplicate the same Remembrance twice, and you won’t be able to use a mausoleum if it doesn’t exist.
To get the Hand of Melania, players need to defeat Omen King Morgot in Lyndale. Once the Omen King is defeated, the grand elevator is opened. Once there, players must find the left and right halves of the Helligtree Secret Medallion. Then, using the Grand Elevator’s hidden sign, players can reach Helligtree.
Defeating Malenia’s grab attack
The first step to overcoming Malenia’s grab attack is to dodge her grab attack. To avoid Malenia’s attack, run away or use a greatshield. Malenia’s grab attack has a high chance to kill, but you can avoid it by anticipating her attacks. If you miss the attack, you can easily be knocked down. After that, use a counter attack like a running or ranged attack.
Defeating Malenia’s grab attacks can be tricky, but you can maximize your damage by stacking items on her body. Using the Ritual Sword Symbol and Blue Dancer Charm will boost your Claw’s damage and warn you of Malenia’s second phase. If you fail to hit her, she will continue to heal herself, so dodging is vital to avoiding the damage she deals.
After you’ve blocked her multiple attacks, Malenia will telegraph her final attack and throw the player into the air. The attack is very powerful, but it’s not too difficult to dodge, as you can simply roll backwards and dodge. If you do manage to dodge the attack, Malenia will be more than glad to do it again. While you may have to wait for the final one, you can also try blocking the grab attack with a sword or shield.
