10 SOUL-CRUSHING Second Phase Boss Reveals
1. Malenia, Goddess of Rot - Elden Ring
Ah, Malenia, Blade of Miquella and Goddess of Rot. Who even knows how many controllers have perished in the name of taking this demi-god down? Truly an icon of gamer rage.
This infamous boss battle tests the mettle of every Elden Ring player, equalising all in the taste of bitter defeat. Her intense speed, life-steal ability, and hard-hitting attacks are brutally punishing. But it's her second phase that truly adds insult to injury.
After finally finishing the health bar of this intense boss, you won't see the classic "Legend Felled" text but rather a cutscene. At this point, your mind starts racing, "Surely there can't be more? Please, Miyazaki, let me live." Then, as your Tarnished leaves the boss area, it begins.
Malenia calls to you, telling you to "Wait." Then, her Scarlet Rot blooms, and she becomes an even more formidable foe. Now, every defeat tastes even more bitter as you've got to contend with both her first and second phases again.
If this reveal doesn't make your heart sink, it must be made of stone.
