In the world of Elden Ring, an infamous boss known as Malenia, Blade of Miquella, has been the bane of countless players’ existence.
However, one determined Tarnished player, RS_Lionheart, has managed to shatter previous records by defeating the formidable boss in a mere 15 seconds.
This remarkable accomplishment was achieved on New Game+7, the highest difficulty level offered by the game after completing it eight times.
Malenia is an optional boss in the game and is notorious for her difficulty and one-hit kill potential.
As reported by FromSoftware, she has been attempted a staggering 329 million times, which undoubtedly highlights the challenges players face when confronting her.
RS_Lionheart’s Strategy: Buffs, Consumables, and Precise Timing
Before engaging Malenia in battle, RS_Lionheart meticulously prepared by applying a variety of buffs and consumables to his character.
These included the Golden Vow, an incantation that increases attack and defense, and the Frenzyflame Stone, a consumable that continuously restores HP.
Armed with two Bandit’s Curved Swords, RS_Lionheart completed the first phase of the fight in just seven seconds.
As Malenia entered her dreaded second phase, RS_Lionheart threw a Freezing Pot consumable to ground her, then proceeded to defeat her with a series of jump attacks.
The entire battle took just over 15 seconds, making this an astonishing achievement.
However, the record was soon broken by RS_Lionheart’s friend, who managed to defeat Malenia in a little over 10 seconds, albeit not on New Game+7.
