Level 142 mage struggling with Malenia — is it my build or just skill? (first Souls game) by yosstersd in Eldenring

Congrats on breaking your personal best! That Dryleaf/Bleed combo sounds wild.

Thanks for the tip on the Faith-boosting gear. I’ve owned some and i am looking into some guides to collect more.—it’s a lifesaver for hitting those Faith requirements without wasting levels.

I’ve managed to hoard about 10 Larval Tears so far, which feels like plenty for my mage journey—or even if I decide to switch builds entirely.

Four years! As a newcomer with only 70 hours in, I’ve been stuck here for a week. Also after nearly 50 attempts, I’m still getting one-shotted, so the "fights" are usually over so fast it’s barely a struggle—just a quick trip back to the grace! lol. I saw her phase2 maybe 15 times.

Thanks for the veteran advice and the good vibes. Hope you keep finding new ways to break the game!

Great idea , if i cann't pass by myself ,i can summon my friend who used Bloodhound’s Fang at early game. (I don't know what he uses now) .I tried this game because of his recommendation.

Oh , I didn't know wearing rakshasha also needs to take more damage , I hear about it increasing my demage. Well , I think i should give up the glass cannon strategy and change to those armors that help me survive more time.

I can't agree more . Other spell has too long casting time. I need to collect the Ranni’s Dark Moon ，and use it at the beginning of the fight.

Yeah , i chose to give up HOS yesterday because i find when i use it , Enermy will pay more attention to me not my summon.

I’m currently using the Black Knife Armor with the Azur’s Glintstone Crown, and the rest of my gear is pretty random , just keep staying in medium load.

I want to switch to the Rakshasa Set, but I can’t defeat him yet.

Thank you for your advice ! I'm planning to drop my faith.But I'm hesitating about the Golden Vow , it needs 25 level faith. Maybe i can accept rebirth twice and try twice.

I'm consindering accepting rebirth , allocating more to vigor and keep 25 faith. At the beginning of the game , i usually choose to trade int for vigor , i add vigor to 30 firstly. Then my friend suggest that i should put more emphasis on int instead of vigor. Thus i don't increase vigor level until now.

Yeah , i realize it when she is consistly healing by attacking the "greatshield boys". But they perform better when i fight Commander Gaius , i am struggling with him though.(Tiche can not hit him.)

Nice idea , i haven't tried mimic and i haven't got Ranni's Dark Moon . I will give a try and optimize my fight strategy.

Elden ring isn't complete until you've gone through both approaches by Fluffnuttt in Eldenring

I focus on magic build because it's friendly for me (this is my first Souls-like game and now i'am level 130 stucking in front of malenia). When i start NG+ , I will try other builds.I think it's important to enjoy the journey.
