These two namely Bloodhound step Ash of war and the Flame cleanse Me incantation can aid you in countering Malenia’s worst attacks.
Phase One:
- Waterfowl Dance – you can use a high guard boost shield to block the attacks and reduce the damage also if you sprint in the opposite direction you will also avoid the initial damage. While you are close you can move behind Malenia to avoid the attacks complete but this requires great skills.
- jumping lunge – you can have close-range proximity with her to avoid this.
- impaling grab – simply just dodge towards her but wait till the last second
- kick – A shield having enough poise and stamina will defend you or simply you can dodge backward to avoid this attack.

Better Strategies will Make you Win in Elden Ring:
During phase one, you can use the Bloodhound’s step Ash of war to avoid most of her attacks. If you’ve got your hands on the Blasphemous Blade’s you can keep her down for most of the time. Going hand in hand with this you can also use the great shield Soldiers Ashes the defend yourself to most of her melee attacks.
If you wanna go to fight her in close-range combat the mightier blade is the more damage you can give to her or you can use a dual katana build and make her bleed. Keep in mind that going close range isn’t a good idea but using the Ash of war helps you to keep her down. The better idea is to go with Ranged and spell casts so you don’t have to go close with her but the hard part is to get the space for casting spells. Spells like Gravity sorceries, Magic Glintblade, and carina phalanx are quite useful.
Great-bow or Hand Ballista:
For ranged weapons, you can go with a Great-bow or Hand Ballista for phase one. You can’t know her down during phase two but you can still go for frostbite and bleed,also don’t forget to go with Coldbone Arrow or Bloodbone Arrow.
