U4GM - Stock Up on These 14 Elden Ring Items Before Facing Malenia
Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is widely considered one of the toughest bosses in Elden Ring. Her aggressive moveset, swift attacks, and ability to heal with every hit make the fight an immense challenge even for seasoned players. To stand a better chance against her, preparation is key. Equipping yourself with the right items can be the difference between victory and defeat. Here’s a rundown of 14 essential Elden Ring items you should stock up on before stepping into her arena.
1. Flame, Cleanse Me
This ash item is invaluable against Malenia’s Scarlet Rot-inflicting attacks. It quickly cleanses the rot buildup, helping you stay in the fight longer.
2. Green Moss Clump
Mitigate poison buildup by carrying plenty of Green Moss Clumps. Malenia’s attacks can inflict poison, so this item will help maintain your health during the battle.
3. Golden Seeds
Increase your Flask uses by gathering Golden Seeds beforehand. More healing opportunities mean more chances to recover during her relentless assault.
4. Crimson Tears Flask
Upgrade your Crimson Tears Flask to maximize health restoration. Every hit counts in this fight, so efficient healing is essential.
5. Stamina-Boosting Items
Items that restore or boost stamina, such as the Serpent Hunter weapon or talismans that enhance stamina regen, will help you maintain dodging and attacking without running dry.
6. Talisman of the Flame, Lord
This talisman boosts fire damage, which can complement certain weapon builds for increased offensive power against Malenia.
7. Radagon’s Scarseal or Radagon’s Soreseal
Increasing your Strength and Dexterity stats slightly can improve your damage output and survivability, making these talismans a smart choice.
8. Preserving Boluses
If you get afflicted by Scarlet Rot, Preserving Boluses are a lifesaver, slowing the buildup and giving you more time to heal.
9. Magic Barrier Consumables
Certain consumables boost magic defense, which can help against Malenia’s magic-based attacks.
10. Firebombs or Flask of Wondrous Physick with Fire Buffs
Fire damage is particularly effective against her, so carrying firebombs or mixing fire buff effects into your Flask of Wondrous Physick can amplify your damage.
11. Poison Throwing Knives or Arrows
Applying poison damage over time can chip away at her health, complementing your melee damage and forcing her to be more cautious.
12. Flame Stoneplate Ring
If you have this talisman, it reduces fire damage taken, which can be useful if you find yourself vulnerable to fire-based attacks during the fight.
13. Erdtree’s Favor
This talisman boosts your maximum HP, stamina, and equip load, providing better survivability and flexibility.
14. Carian Filigreed Crest
Reducing FP cost on weapon skills allows for more frequent skill usage, maximizing your damage potential and utility during the fight.
Preparing these items can significantly improve your chances when facing Malenia’s deadly onslaught.
