Maliketh é basicamente o Guts em modo Berserker descontrolado

I absolutely love the transformation cut scene. The way the music goes along with the transformation, dropping you right into the fight is amazing.

From always nails these "beastly knight" bosses. One of my absolute favourites.

Imo this is the greatest fight in Elden Ring, once you got his rhythm down, its just like a dance, back and forth between the boss and you. Although his moves are easy to read, they are built around punishing greedy players, so once you quell your thirst down, the fight become so much more satisfying. For those who dont know how to dodge his flurry stab in phase 2, he usually (but not always) does that after the overhead slam attack. Wait and see if he keep attacking after the slam, if he does then run behind his ass and you can give him a full charged heavy. Edit: After fighting him for the 99+ time in NG+7, I take back my statement about him punishing greedy players. Rather, you want to be as aggressive as possible, as Maliketh is very agile and wont stand still for you to attack. What you need is good positioning, which allows you to attack him unscathed even during his combo. And yes, this is true even with dual GS, which are slow af.

Absolutely one of my favorite fights in ER, badass character, awesome armor and weapon, cool story, but most of all, super engaging, energetic fight, in his second phase, if this guy stands still, it's because he knows he dosent have to move to hit you, reminds me of Gael's second phase from ds3

Maliketh was Marika's half-brother and a fierce warrior loyal to her. Apparently, he is the one who killed the Godskin Apostles' Queen and banished them. Marika charged him with guarding the Rune of Death, which he did, but a fragment of it was stolen by the Black Knife Assassins, who used it kill Godwyn. Out of shame, Maliketh sealed Death itself in his own flesh to prevent anyone from stealing it from him ever again and assumed the alias of "Gurranq, the Beast Clergyman".

Now that I'm re-watching this, I cant stop thinking that the Elden Beast is manifestation of the Erd Tree itself, Melina set the tree ablaze but its trunk only starts burning after you claim the rune of death which means the Erd Tree is a life that cannot die like the rest of the Lands between while Maliketh says "Witless Tarnished... Why covet Destined Death? To kill WHAT?" (not whom, might be a slight imply). I thought the Erd Tree and the Elden Beast were two separate beings of the greater will but now I really cant stop thinking its the same being. Plus one off topic statement which I believe is at least 70% chance to be truth. The lands between clearly refer to Elden Ring (as a game) is combination of all the Fromsoft games (which is a fact) and is meant to represent a CENTER (trunk) which distributes differently among the other lands (branches). If my theories are right then this only makes this a double wonder for the other one is Fromsoft referring to Berserk's tree. I never saw Berserk but I know a thing or two about it but its definitely on my to watch list.

This. I'd legit cry tears of joy if they gave him 30k health instead of his measly 10k. It's just so unfair on him. He survived Destined Death in the lore and makes everyone shit themselves, but he's got 10k health? Godrick already has over 6k and he's basically the first real boss you fight. It makes so little sense, both lore and gameplay wise. Malenia gets 33k health and has like 25% lifesteal, capable of healing a fifth of her entire bar back on her heavier hits like the thrust or slam, and capable of getting outright half of it back using waterfowl dance, but 30k without lifesteal was too much for the strongest character in the lore? I really don't understand that design choice.
