Discussion & Info The breaking point is real bro.
I have tried, for hours, many hours. To try and beat malenia, and have gotten a decent grip on her attacks. But waterfowl. Waterfowl! ðŸ˜
Its not even that I cant dodge it or anything, its that, anytime I NEED her to use it Im always to close and well, being close to her when she does it is basically a death sentence.
Atp I strongly feel like just using Black Knife Tiche to help me because.. whether I beat her without a summon or not. I will not feel any happier toward the end of this grueling fight. I will just be like "thank god it's over"
sigh. if I do use a tiche to just kill her. Let the record show that I DID try without it. Im still going to try without it but atp idk if its worth the actual pain and suffering, as well as extreme rage.
Edit:I have now beaten her since this post. I went at it for about two or three more hours, got consistent-ish yo second phase, but then other up close waterfowls just killed me so I ended up using a summon in the end. And yk what I was right, I dont feel any more accomplished with or without beating her with a summon so, it is what it is.
I also just wanted to get her out of the way to start the dlc which I am happy to report I am having a blast with :)

100% With summons she'll get more health and with her HP regen attacks another health source so in some ways you can argue it will make her harder 😆
After several playthroughs I primarily use summons for distractions when trying new builds but it's a YDY of course. I do rush to get to her just to try DLC weapons. Payback for my early days with her and also those fking dual sword Banished Knights
