NEW PATCH UPDATE: Do everything in this video but use Black Knife Tiche summon. The mimic nerfs made it useless for me and I was able to beat her with Tiche and it’s bleed procs. It also Dodges very well so it’s usually 50% or more health phase 2

So I beat her as mage without respeccing but it still involves bleed and mimic. Just swap the Bleed Katana for the Weapon Art on the Moonveil Katana and use Mimic tear. It will still do bleed when the mimic or yourself uses an R1 during staggers and the weapon art staggers her heavily. After honing the strategy I had her in about 5 or 6 attempts and it was still just down to not getting one shot in the last phase. Also there is a SINGLE way I've found around the spinning attack. A medium shield with the barricade shield WA or a great shield with extremely high stability but that requires you reacting to the tell almost immediately and swapping to it to block out the combo. And if your guard breaks? You're dead but you were dead to the ability anyways.

I just followed your guide and got it in about 10 tries. I realized I was making a few mistakes. - 8 health, 4 mana flasks was enough - Notice he 2handed the rivers of blood - if you weren't playing bleed before ( and had a starscourge greatsword build like me ) then you need to get used to delayed damage. - during p2 take your time, during p1 hurry! if you dump your L2 into her during p1, using 1 or 2 mana flasks, then your mimic will be like 90% health and capable of tanking the shit out of her. - during p2 I literally unlocked and ran away until my mimic got aggro a few times. Camera angles in this game are hard. - If she goes up in the air run away, always. in p1 it could be the super combo, in p2 it could be that or the repeated missles, either way you can't hit her. - r1 strikes with rivers of blood interrupt her combos, it had more interrupt than a fucking 800 damage greatsword, no idea why it's so op.

This game unfortunately doesnt have great balance with slow weapons imo. You have to time your attacks very carefully and wait for big opening, which means you might as well just spam jump heavys, and even then you are still relying on RNG to not get too many retaliation attacks. Strength was fun and coupe could stagger for crits a lot of the time but actual DPS felt WAYYY lower even with 900AR ultra because you just have to be patient for you window with every attack.

maybe it’s because my brain is so melted but I found this build after trying for 6 hours straight to beat her with my strength build “which is useless against her I mean you can barely hit her and even though I do like 4000 damage to her in a single hit it is worthless when she has life steal” and this build does work however I still haven’t beaten her after an hour and a half of using this build. I’m higher level than the guy in the video, respeced my character exactly like his with some improvements, have a + 10 mimic tear, same exact mixed flask, +9 Rivers of Blood, same talismans, and full Radhan armor with med load. I’m sure I’ll beat her with this build tomorrow (please) but I just have really bad rng “mimic not being aggressive enough, her using instant kill moves on me or spamming them at the mimic until it dies” but after 7 1/2 hours on this boss I’m just can’t keep playing. I quit getting angry about 5 hours ago, instead I just feel more and more empty everytime I fail. This boss is the first time I’ve ever had to respec and just feels like a huge kick in the nuts to players. I don’t agree with people saying Radahn is too hard, I believe he’s a good boss, and I don’t agree with people who want the fire giant nerfed, he’s supposed to be a hurdle, but this boss should be nerfed. It should still be hard so keep the same move set but just lower the hp some. So many times I got her to a quarter health on the second phase but I’ll be dahmed if I can get past there, and that’s using this cheese strat. For anybody that tries this boss using a normal build, good luck. I kind of rambled on ig and don’t really comment like this oftej but I just needed to say something about this. TLDR: Build is good for this boss would recommend. Also boss is bs. Edit: I beat her with this strategy 2nd try today! I guess the rng gods just really hated me last night.

my only gripe about this boss, is the fact that you could be doing extremely well, dodging her combos and what not, BUT all it takes is her doing funny spin move and you’re done just like that. the only way i’ve been able to avoid it is being across the arena to begin with, then dodging the third flurry that actually got near me. the fact that a boss battle can be beat only by having good RNG just infuriates me. i’ve played other souls games to near completion and haven’t had anything this frustrating ever. if the flurry did lessened dmg, or even if you could just idk…. dodge out of it, i’d be fine with the dmg numbers. just annoying that i can consistently get to second phase less than 25% hp, then nah she hits me with the mcflurry wombo combo and good run is gone. oh and i hate when the mimic just goes brain dead and doesn’t do anything lmao

It's honestly a persistence test and you get the achievement when you finally get a run without the blender involved. Shame. Could've been a great fight if the blender move wasn't so damn long. Could've been a 2 slice attack at full HP, 3 on half, 5 near death, and not part of the 2nd phase(she's got lots of new moves anyways).

Was stuck on this hang for 3 days, tried every tactic under the sun from cheesing to finger print shields and pike to blood flies and Blasphemous blade, all failed, in the end, (after at least 40 attempts) this guide was the most effective by far. The tell was being able to get her to 2nd phase with my mimic on 90% health. This way, after her scarlott rot explosion, we were both able to kick the shit out of her non stop. *One important note that you mentioned that might be overlooked: She attacks the last one to hit her so when I'm low, I back off and refill like you said, and when I'm full I whale on her to draw fire away from the mimic. Never let her get out a full attack on your mimic and it will see you all the way through - it's a powerful decoy, not a punch bag. Set up: Silver moonshield (Very light and blocks 100% physical (saved me) Veterans armour breast plate (More slash then Rhadaan armour) Talisman: Winged sword insignia, Radigon's scarseal, Carigan Fligcreed crest, Green Turtle (Allowed me to pound her) Physick mix: Bubble Tear, Crimson Strength: 59 Dex: 55 Arc: 35 Thanks again bro, you're the guy.

The healing isn't so bad if you learn her moveset enough to be aggressive and avoid getting hit too often; it's the unavoidable, guaranteed-death flurry attack that ruins this fight. If the first part of it was dodgeable and avoiding damage from it didn't ABSOLUTELY REQUIRE a shield or a specific weapon art like the bloodhound's fang, the whole fight would be fine, but as it is, the only way to bait this attack out in a way that one can avoid it, turns the fight into a tedious pokefest.

Been BANGING my head against this boss for about a whole day with a 60 strength build. I started on her last night. Trying to learn it... barely got anywhere. From the first time I tried this build I got her to her second phase. 3rd attempt I got her!!! Copied this exact build. I WILL SAY: HAVING THE BAUBLE WITH THE INCREASED STAMINA REGEN RATE IS KEY. I ignored it at first for something that seemed more defensive, but being able to keep the pressure up on her with fast stamina recovery did the trick. Beat her on the next attempt after switching over to it. Great video man. Side note: I normally don't do dex builds. I wish this River of Blood Katana didn't have a scaling bug so I could use it normally... Well, its +10 now... Any one recommend a dex weapon that I can use? I know so very little about not-strength haha. GREAT VIDEO I LOVE YOU

I don’t even want to think of how hard she is on NG+ and later. I came close a few times but still stuck. What makes the developers such dickheads about making this boss, is the fact they actually penalize players for using your shield. Hence, her health regeneration from you blocking. Seriously FS? WTF?

+25 Blood Uchi with Spinning Slash, Cold Nagakiba for frostbite in off hand and Mimic. If you wait to summon mimic until she's up the hill near you she'll keep the whole first phase in that area and you can stun lock her against the wall, easy cheesy. Second phase is just as easy if not faster if you run in right after she drops the first time, I finished her faster than the first phase. This guide actually made this fight fun, after a day and a half and two broken TV screens it was a blessing. 🤣😂

I'm going crazy with my main build being Marais Exec Sword, using the Weapon Art at full charge to blast her back, and for talismans using godfrey, rotten winged sword, dragoncrest greatshield and the 4th one i kinda forget, i think it was the jar one that really boosts equip load or the one that looks like a cross that boosts stamina, hp and fp. Tbf, i only just started using godfrey on my last try of the night at like 4 am, but it brought the weapon art damage from a single full charged hit from 3008 to well over 3500 so I'm feeling a lot more confident. No summons. Considering i brought her phase 2 down to like 10%-15% health before dying and got her phase 2 to around 33% a couple of times, i'm really bummed i didn't use godfrey before for that huge damage boost. Nevermind if I had Alexander's jar shard, but I stopped the main story just before the Fire Giant fight to do Malenia, and since I need to go well into Farum azula to get Alex's talisman I can't bring myself to do it. It'd feel like a race to get the talisman to run back to Malenia, where i want to relax and fully enjoy the remaining third of the game left once Malenia is dead and buried. But damn, considering i only can play in 1 hour to 1.5 hour bursts w/ having a 4 year old daughter, this boss has had me down for going on 3 days.

I was level 168 sorceress while I confronted her two days ago. About 20 deaths and then I managed to learn her moves and dodge them more frequently. She avoids all fast spells if not disturbed (like by summons) but key to win was to use slow and timed spells. Ancient Death Rancor was my main spell as it may stagger Malenia when hit simultaneously with Greatblade phalanx or Carian phalanx. And while rancors keep her busy, you can try to hit her with comet as it is fast enough. Malenia's triple wild strikes (as I call it) is a difficult move to dodge but can be done with some practice. First attack, two rolls directly away, second attack, two rolls to the side and third set of rolls away immediately while you are face to face with her (be sure to keep a lock-on). It takes time to perform well but can be done. While I spammed Rancor she dodges every time but try to move sideways and dodge towards your "rancors" so Malenia gets them to her face. For spellcasters I recommend using Two Fingers Heirloom (+5 faith), Graven-Mass Talisman (Greatly raises potency of sorceries), Radagon Icon (boosts spell casting time) and Stargazer Heirloom (Intelligence +10). I used bottles 7+7 and Mimic Tear +10. Great Rune I used was from Roderick (+5 to all skills). And I actually didn't know there was second phase but as I was very low on bottles (3 health, 1 mana) I took mimic tear immediately after her first strike. Summon was much needed, otherwise she would have destroyed me (nearly did as the first strike took 95 % of my full health). Edit. mispelled.

You can do this without Rivers of Blood. As of 05.07.2022, I beat her in a very similar way, on my 8th or 9th attempt (first playthrough), using Moonveil and Uchigatana dual wield. I think I was lvl 135, int build with some dex. Completely noobish build; using no buffs (such as flame grant me strength) or great runes, just regular defensive talismans + equip load increase, the heaviest regular armor I could use without fat rollling, and HP regen and damage negation in the special flask. Some luck involved for sure, must have been, but with both you and the mimic hacking away while dual wielding, solely hitting L1 (no special moves whatsoever) - you can really stun lock this bitch quite well and end the fight before your mimic tear dies. I had frost on my Uchi btw, and no idea if that is better than having bleed on both katanas. The two biggest factors for success here is, as the uploader said - keeping the agression up. I believe it always makes sense, but especially with a boss that has a healing like she does and that can be staggered so easily, and because she has multiple one shot attacks that must be avoided. Agressions means shorter fight, less damage over time to you and your summon, meaning less healing for her, and less possibilities for her to use special attacks to which some bad luck can mean the end. And you get to bring your mimic tear into phase 2, and make use of that massive advantage here as well, to finish her off. The second big thing - rather stupid imo - is to not get hit by her opening attack in phase 2. It one shotted me at least. What a boring start to the second phase when you just die immediately. Anywho. The uploader said "dont lock on" when she floats in the air, but I did, stood still and waited, then dodge rolled the big ground slam. Totally works. Run out from the rot, only to run back in shortly after to exploit her slow get-up animation - and just go total L1 batshit on her face. Dual wield katanas has been my setup for most my playthrough, so in a sense I walked into this with decent "training" in what seems to be one of few good strats against this boss. And while I split frost + bleed on the two weapons, the mimic tear hacking away with the same two status surely make them both proc very fast. Just thought Id share!

Nailed her with Bloodhound's Fang +9, with 80 str and 80 dex. Go hard and very aggressive, with you and your mimic 2hand that weapon, she doesn't have a chance to strike back. After failing the first 15 times with my paladin build, soon as I respec to full str / dex and armed with a bleed weapon... first try made her dead.
@attackoncake4851

Just a heads up, so you don't waste your time respeccing into this. The build does not work on NG+7. Her dmg and health are so high, that she'll kill your mimic when she reaches 2nd stage, then proceed to omnislash you to bits. Pretty broken fight on higher difficulties, I'm not even sure it's possible to beat. First time ever saying that about any souls boss (I'm level 300 for reference, with bull armor).

Great swordplay fella! I’d already beaten the fire giant so couldn’t get rivers of blood. Tried other +24 katanas but was constantly getting one shot, despite putting mask of shabriri on mimic. After countless melee attempts I gave up. Eventually downed her with my mimic, swarm of flies and the red dragon lightning spell. Felt cheesy but a win’s a win especially against this beech. Disappointed with her katana though!

Thank you, sir. After getting beat on for hours, I tried that Jar Cannon cheese and spent a bunch of stones and still couldn't get her. I had already leveled Rivers of Blood up to 9 before I had ever seen this video. I just don't use a arcane build. So, I used the Silver Tear Mask to get my arcane high enough and I still got my ass kicked. Until I saw your technique of running towards and rolling when she starts that bullshit move. That was the key to my victory. Thank you again. Great work on the video.

Nagakiba is way stronger, has superior range on regular attacks that you can squeeze between her combos instead of waiting for enough time to do rivers of blood skill. If you're used to the timing of rivers of blood, just smack double-slash on a +25 Blood Nagakiba and you get rivers of blood but stronger, with more damage and more blood buildup.

Rivers of blood is kinda bad ngl. It's a somber weapon that has a pretty low base bleed no. at max rank. I personally found that two handing a +25 godskin peeler with seppuku worked insanely well. With 30 arcane and 60 dex it had a bleed score of 126 plus two handing it meant that it attacked insanely fast. To anyone looking for something fun I definitely advise this build. In PvP it proves bleed in one or two hits, and it shredded Melania faster than anything I've seen.
