Sure Melania has wings in her second phase and like 40% of her moves involve her airstalling with hyperarmor waiting for you to make a mistake so she can heal half her health bar and eat all your flask, but does that mean that this ducky can dance her way past the swag jump to safety or will she finally know defeat?

Malenia fought Radahn, because Radahn stoped the stars And since the stars govern destiny, both Miquella and Malenia (and Ranni) needed Radahn dead to change their destiny Nice allegory for Radahn upholding the Status Quo, while Malenia is basically the personification of Change Miquella wanted to grow up, and not be stuck in a childs body, Malenia wanted to get rid of Scarlet Rot Meanwhile Ranni didn't want to become a puppet of the Greater Will through the Two Fingers, so I guess Ranni would not mind, if Malenia killed Radahn back in those days already... By the way, when the Malenia vs. Radahn happened, that was the time Mohg kidnapped Miquella
@brennuswhite1845

According to my understanding, Miquella also wanted to change the social order by creating the Haligtree which the albinaurics, historically a downtrodden group, refer to as their promised land. Additionally, judging by the misbegotten and kindred of rot there, you can kind of assume that the Haligtree is a place of refuge for any group seen as disgusting (although maybe the kindred are just there because of all the rot) Either way, Miquella seems to want this, and as the blade of Miquella, Malenia would be in pursuit of this as well. Just another thing that might support the allegory of Malenia and Miquella being against the stagnant status quo of Radahn.

@@AgentChick I'm not going to try to claim to already know, it seems to need testing and ultimately would depend on the build. People discount Malenias Greatrune as soon as they get it so there's next to no information available on a cursory google, but I'm noticing a lot of the limitations it has are completely different from what the Godskin Talisman has. I would be shook though if the extra 20 or so HP per proc from Morgotts greatrune consistently outclassed Malenias GR, considering status effects and spells can activate Malenias effect.

Actually, if you equip two daggers and become really aggressive, you can recover all of the damage you've taken in a few L2 presses. Couple it with Millicent's Prothesis and the Godskin Swaddling Cloth and you'll recover a lot of HP and increase your own attack rather quickly. I also put the Greenburst Crystal Tear coupled with the Green turtle Talisman to recover my stamina really quickly and get back to combat really quickly. There you go, you have all of the tools necessary to make use of Malenia's Great Rune to its fullest, focusing on aggressive combat to recover the lost HP through two methods. The downgrade of the Crimson Flask becomes irrelevant. That's how I'm managing to get Ragadon down in less than a minute (Elden beats still killing me, first time clearing this game).

Mohg can actually be the second remembrance boss you fight and kill in the game, as long as you kill Godrick, and then do Varre's questline, either online or offline, as that gets you the medal that teleports you to Mohgyn's Palace. Which means the only remembrance bosses you are forced to kill after Morgoth are the Fire Giant, Maliketh, Godffrey, Radabeast, Malenia and Placidusax. Another two cosplay NG+ runs I can recommend are Maliketh (Destined Death shreds through bosses with high holly resistance, because Destined Death doesn't care about your holly resistance) and Mohg (if it can bleed, then Mohgyn's Sacred Spear's Ash of War will decimate them. I've been doing it on NG+, and even bosses immune to fire damage get brought down by the bleed). They're both extremely fun. Great work.
