Highlights
- An Elden Ring player attempted to defeat Malenia in one hit but failed hilariously, dying with just a single hit from her instead.
- The player spent time applying buffs and bonuses before the fight, but Malenia remained unfazed and defeated them without letting them land a single attack.
- While the Reddit post was intended as a joke, some players note that the title isn't entirely incorrect since Malenia did defeat the player with a single hit.
One Elden Ring player’s attempt to one-shot Malenia ended up failing hilariously. Elden Ring fans will come across a wide variety of hard bosses over the course of their playthroughs, but Malenia is probably the most difficult of them all.
Since its release, many gamers have challenged themselves to defeat Malenia in unique ways, as they would try to beat her with certain restrictions in place. As an example, some Elden Ring fans have defeated Malenia at level 1, while others have accomplished this task without rolling during the fight. Now, a new video shows one Elden Ring player applying a ton of buffs before fighting Malenia, only for them to die in hilarious fashion.
A user named ALastDawn has posted a video on Reddit featuring their battle against Malenia in Elden Ring. In the post’s title, ALastDawn has claimed that they managed to one-shot Malenia using a melee weapon, setting a new world record. However, the title ends up being a joke, as they die to Malenia with just a single hit. The player spends a considerable amount of time applying various buffs before traversing through the fog gate, and buffs themselves even further before initiating the fight. Malenia doesn’t appear to be fazed by their actions, as she defeats ALastDawn before they could land even a single attack.
Several users in the comments section mention that ALastDawn managed to fool them in the first half, and it looks like many fans got a good laugh out of this Elden Ring video. A few also point to the fake message from Let Me Solo Her asking for ALastDawn’s help in defeating Malenia. Even though the Reddit post was intended to be a joke, some players also mention that the title isn’t entirely incorrect, as Malenia did manage to defeat her opponent with a single hit. Another gamer states that they feel both robbed and entertained by this post, while a different player claims to hate it with a passion.
One Elden Ring fan managed to one-shot Malenia earlier in 2023, as they defeated her in just two hits. As this boss fight features two unique phases, players will need to deplete both of her health bars to obtain victory over her. The user in this video also spent a considerable amount of time applying buffs and other bonuses, and it looks like a ton of planning went into completing this challenge.
Elden Ring is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
