Oh God. You're telling me the DLC is a step up from this super cheap boss that heals even when you block her? Man, I dunno if I even want it anymore. Having everything just kill you in two hits regardless of your build is just unacceptable to me.

@@VtuberFilianClips You’re fighting her with way too much defense, it’s no fun when you can tank waterfowl dance;)) Ideally, she should be fought with the difficulty that she can kill you in two to three hits. That’s when it really starts getting funnnnnnnn. I spent three hours beating her in my first play through with only a shield talisman and no armor (only dodge/katana), it’s a totally different fight, and you actually have to learn how to dodge the waterfowl dance.

I love how she reflexively yells “MODS” as a defense mechanism……like they’re going to ban her

And after the DLC: "You know, maybe _Waterfowl_ isn't so bad after all."

Deadass it isn’t. If you get hit by any of the individual 3 waterfowl barrages, you can still dodge the next 2 barrages. Meanwhile Rellana’s double moons will guaranteed kill you if the first one hits you. (Assuming you don’t have 80 vigor, the bull goat armor set, and all mitigation talismans at once. That MIGHT let you survive). And let’s not even get into Radahn’s upward slash. Or his light beam roll catches. Or his lightspeed meteor. Or his meteors + clone slashes. Or his arena wide explosions. Or his seemingly never-ending combos.

@Zeke1460 for real. And to be honest, for as much shit as people give Waterfowl, it's only that first flurry that you need to watch out for. You can dodge through the second one, Malenia tends to miss the third on her own, and she's stationary for the fourth. Not saying it won't take some practice to dodge, but it _is_ a remarkably fair attack compared to stuff you see in the DLC.

​@@Zeke1460Honestly Radahn wasn't that bad, you want to get hit by the after image because they deal pitiful damage compared to the real one, the huge AoE is definitely BS, you need to run/roll as soon as he starts it otherwise your F-ed. The combos are pretty BS, but most of them don't "roll catch" you, usually only the last hit and the light beams from it. His comet is kinda lame, it always aims for the middle of the arena. Rellana feels a lot more aggressive compared to him, he has way more down time for you to heal and/or punish. On the topic of Radahn, it's kinda funny that his DLC armor is a straight downgrade from his base game armor in terms of stats

Good job Filian.

She honestly did a lot better on the first attempt than most people do

Bro going into wing stance and comboing the light into heavy is so cool to use against Malenia. Even with dlc weapons and spells she's still the same as ever but her first phase is a hell of a lot easier now. Vykes dragon bolt really helps with staggering and poise breaking her.

so points into vitality to counter waterflow

Here is some help, Filian (disable your announcements) because they are killing you... fr. The fans don't want you to win... the timing is always wrong. Put respect on the (1st) toughest female boss. Even players who win have respect.

"What if I beat her too fast" was never a thought I had, but then I did it. Took me four tries. Mimic tear and double slash keen nagakiba with golden vow, flame and bloodflame blade 😂 Just dodge most attacks and get those L2s in and she goes down waaaay too quick. Helps that she basically has 0 poise. Now I can't wait to play through NG+ after the DLC so I can fight her with something that doesn't feel like cheese. I want the proper Melania experience!

filian is a femboy, lol

Man, Melania got NERFED

I'm sorry to burst everyone's bubble lol, she is one of the easiest bosses in the game, easy to read attacks first phase and only one attack that has the lowest roll to actually happen that can hurt you. People who still think this game is hard just have very smooth brains. :p Sorry, I know not everyone is actually good at games but it is funny when I see people say She is a hard boss.
