Understanding Malenia's Attack Patterns

The key to defeating Malenia is studying her attack patterns. Malenia relies on quick sword slashes and devastating combos. Her signature move, Waterfowl Dance, can deal massive damage if you’re caught unprepared. This multi-hit attack tracks the player, so rolling away or using a shield is often ineffective. Instead, try to time your dodge rolls to avoid the initial strikes and run away to create distance when she pauses mid-combo.

Malenia also heals a small amount of health every time she lands a hit, regardless of whether you block. This mechanic makes her even more dangerous, as prolonged fights give her a chance to regain significant health. Prioritize avoiding her attacks rather than trading blows recklessly.
