Elden Ring dataminers have been increasingly turning to the pre-patch, 1.0 build of the game in search of FromSoftware’s development secrets. Earlier this month, dataminer kotn3l uncovered a version of secret megaboss Malenia (opens in new tab) who’s more aggressive, blocks your attacks better, and has a second variation of her signature move.
Love her or hate her (I love her!) Malenia is hands down one of the hardest bosses to appear in a FromSoft game. She’s a master swordsman, with fast, varied attacks, vampiric healing on hit, a second health bar, and the legendarily difficult-to-avoid anime samurai flurry attack, Waterfowl Dance.
I think she took me as many attempts as Bloodborne’s gnarly Orphan of Kos, but condensed over the span of a few days instead of weeks.
