"Sometimes the lag between the host and myself is too much so I get killed instantly sometimes, or miss the crucial dodge timing on Malenia's waterfowl dance," he says. LMSH doesn't have a perfect record, though, and admits he's lost to her "more than I'd like to admit." He's lost count of how many Malenias he's defeated, but he estimates it's somewhere between 300 and 400. He says he's become very skilled at reading her animations, attacks, and sound queues with ease. Now, with hours of practice, LMSH is a Malenia master. "Why wear armor if you don't plan on getting hit at all? And the pot is a good luck charm from the character Iron Fist Alexander whom I admire." "It is a running tradition of Soulsborne games that the naked players are the most powerful beings in the game," he replies. His talismans, for those wondering, are the Green Turtle, Viridian Amber Medallion, Kindred of Rot's Exultation, and Claw Talisman.Īt some point, he stripped naked and donned a pot on his head. Currently, LMSH wields dual katanas - a Rivers of Blood+9 in his left hand and a Cold Uchigatana +25 with Hoarfrost Stomp. He has around 200 hours total on this character, is level 179, and does not plan on leveling up further. So he started working on his build and practicing. Her infamous waterfowl dance is considered to be the to dodge moveset from a FromSoft boss to date, so I decided to prove to others that it was not impossible." "All her attacks are very graceful and she is unforgiving as a boss. "I chose Malenia to help others because I fell in love with her design," LMSH says. But it was because of that extreme difficulty that LMSH felt motivated to help others. He tells me his first attempt to kill Malenia in his own game was rough - it took him 242 attempts, and he needed two summons to finish her off. He's on New Game+ at the moment and is currently working to finish all the sidequests.īut as skilled as his battles against Malenia look from the outside, LMSH wasn't always a Malenia murderer.
When Elden Ring came out, he picked the Samurai class and played through the game like anyone else.
LMSH's story is a straightforward one: he fell in love with Souls games after playing Dark Souls 3, and has previously been an avid PvP player in other FromSoftware games. This both allows whoever is hosting him in their game to get the kill and move on with the story, but also provides a hell of a show. In LMSH's case, he simply drops his summon sign outside Malenia's boss door and, once called upon, heads inside the boss chamber and immediately proceeds to wreck Malenia without anyone else's help. While Elden Ring is largely a solo adventure, players can opt-in to co-op using certain items that will reveal "summon signs" - gold markings on the ground that allow them to call other players (who have opted into being summoned) to their games and work together until a dungeon is completed, a boss defeated, or someone dies.
