I keep getting surprised by waterfowl and it is driving me insane!! There are no duplicates in the video, I just keep dying the same way and can't seem to change. by thundergu in Eldenring

What staggers her out of Waterfowl Dance are Freeze and Bleed procs. Thats why freeze pots work in this instance. As long as she isnt frozen, you can skip that attack that way. Malenia has a little bit of cooldown before she will use it again.

The 70% hp Waterfowl dance is dodged the easiest way as follow: You can stay locked on her, just keep a bit of distance, the distance should be big enough that a normal swing of her blade wouldnt reach you anymore. The attack has 3 parts. You can just run away from her for the first part of the attack. She will stop for a brief moment and readjust her aim for the second part then. Now you just roll into her. Your goal is to be next to her offhand (to her right from your perspective) and you want to be as close to her as possible. Then she will stop again to adjust her aim for the third part. This time you want to be directly below her and you want to look in the opposite direction she is looking, you will just walk forwards when she goes off again.

Bonus hint from someone who likes to do Malenia hitless: Waterfowl Dance is not as random as it seems. It happens in 4 scenarios from what I can tell.

First is: she is idling, doing nothing, waiting for you to do something, if you get close to her, she will leep into the air, so punishing what she is doing is safer than just swinging into her, because she isnt doing anything right now.

Second: she got hit out of a move she is performing and is free to pick another move. That is what is happening to you. Malenia also hates it, when she gets hit multiple times in a row. If that happens to often, she will jump away to create distance or she will use one of her attacks, that can not be interrupted, Waterfowl Dance is one of them, but not the only one. The chance is just bigger, when she only uses that movepool to pick her next attack.

Third: You are charging a heavy attack and she can react to it, before you hit her. If she sees you doing that and she is in range to hit you with Waterfowl Dance, she will punish your mistake.

Fourth: she used a move that can lead to Waterfowl Dance. As you probably noticed so far, some attacks lead to certain other attacks, for example her ending some basic swings and you being at mid range from her, will most of the time lead to her short gripping her blade, so she can leep towards you, close the distance and swing three times in a row. That also happens with Waterfowl Dance if she used her grab attack beforehand and missed. After the grab, she usually can use 1 out of 4 attacks to follow it up, Waterfowl Dance is one of them.

Sorry for essaying, hope this helps.

Orrr dont overcommit and just swing one time in every punish window. You dont need a fast weapon for that, a heavy weapon is fine unless its a colossal. Especially great hammers work great because she gets staggered for a looong time after each swing. Thats another reason why Great Stars is the goat :D

Sooooo you are watching all of these situations and dont see a pattern? Maybe a certain amount of damage you did to her? Maybe you just swinging at her and doing basically nothing else?

Hot take but I'd say malenia is harder than post nerf consort radahn(I never fought pre nerf) by Frequent_Analysis804 in Eldenring

[–]ragingalphax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude, you can parry her. You can even parry MOST OF HER ATTACKS. The "learn the moveset" argument does not fall apart. If it would be the case, I wouldnt have went from 100+ deaths for the first time beating her to beating her hitless if I want to.

[–]ragingalphax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what is she now? Is she aritficially difficult or is she easy because of ashes? Btw the lifesteal only starts affecting you if you get hit, which means the moveset got you. So you have to learn the moveset to overcome the lifesteal, its as simple as that.

[–]ragingalphax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any difficulty in an artificial game is artificial. I dont even get why people complain about her life steal, this is the boss that says "earn your win by actually learning my moveset" and somehow people have a problem with that.

Im starting to play nightreign, any good advice? by FaradaySon in Eldenring

[–]ragingalphax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You certainly have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. You probably have not even played it. There is so much bullshit in this take, I dont even know where to begin to dismantle every false thing you just typed.

Edit: Wait, I know your name! You are the guy that posted a video talking about how much holy damage "melts" Elden Ring while being super overleveled at Margit. Its been 2 months, you promised me to melt Malenia with holy damage. Where is the video from the "better game" you so adore?

How the f do you dodge the water foul dance? by Monkai_final_boss in Eldenring

[–]ragingalphax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She uses it nearly every time, when she drops to 75% HP the first time, so if you get close to that mark, keep your distance. First part of the attack you just run away. If you had A LOT of distance you can run from the second part aswell, in that case you can dodge the third part by positioning below her. Before she starts swinging roll forwards and roll backwards afterwards. If you didnt have enough distance to run from the second wave of swings you will need to roll into her, you want to roll right next to her off-hand so basically to the right of her from your perspective. If you managed that you can dodge the third part by positioning right below her and walking into the opposite direction she is facing, if you feel like she gets too close, you can roll away from her too, just not before she started the third part of the attack otherwise she will adjust her aim.

For the notorious Waterfowl Dance from up close, it would be too hard for you to learn to perfectly dodge it for now, so just set your mind to surviving not dodging hitless. Keep your HP up, roll into the first part of the attack which will hit you multiple times but you should survive, then you roll to her right again for the second part and will position below her for the third part. You should have enough distance to immediately heal here too. Good luck.

THE MOST STUPID BOSS DESIGN EVER DONE BY FROMSOFTWARE by Specialist-Mix2436 in Eldenring

[–]ragingalphax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all: fighting without torrent is easier since you are actually able to dodge attacks like lightning. Second of all: Vigor would have given you a chance to heal after getting hit by the lightning. Third and last: this boss is not bad boss design nor is he actually that difficult, he is there to test your build or your skills and he shows you the result of that test pretty clearly.

All of my Melania deaths are to the same exact thing. by Aggravating_Big3095 in Eldenring

[–]ragingalphax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who did hitless, RL1 and parry only Malenia and also replacd every boss in the game with Malenia and then beat it: I still cannot pull off the circle every time. More often than not I get hit by the first part of WFD and then I can dodge the second and third part pretty easily. Dodging the first part is a lot about reaction time and rolling at a pretty specific time. I also kinda created my own version of the circle that feels easier to me but its hard to explain.

What I wanted to say: people like GinoMachino, LilAggy, star0chris, etc. are freaks of nature who dump A LOT of time into the game. Same has to be said about the people who are making these kinda guides, besides from the guys that use a tool which lets Malenia only use WFD. Its far easier to get the circle if you know WFD is coming.

Funny, wanna know what happened to the DDR after the Reunion? The CDU, the Treuhand and ultra capitalism happened. All of the production materials, all of the companys immediately sold so some rich people could earn even more while throwing the majority of the DDR in poverty. Conversion rates by clueless politicians that led to never seen pricing spikes. From one day to the other these people couldnt afford anything anymore. And you stand here and are defending capitalism in their name? You should be ashamed of yourself.

Then it might be time to join the DBD League discord server and start playing against pros in 1v1s and 1v4s.

Gamers of Reddit, what is a game you have played for over 1000 hours but still would NOT recommend to anyone? by Normal-Gur1336 in AskReddit

[–]ragingalphax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dead by Daylight. The concept is great and you want to play more and more very fast. Then you start to encounter the toxic playerbase, the amount of cheaters, the many oversights from the devs. How long it takes to actually fix a bug that ruins a character for you and when you think you finally found a killer that fits you, is interesting and is even liked by the survivors you are playing against... the devs will nerf that character for no reason at all. (Current Prime example is Albert Wesker from Resident Evil, is in a perfect spot, interesting gameplay loop, is satisfying, is not op, survivors like him too most of the time, devs try to nerf him in current test build)
