It's a hat-trick for FromSoftware!

Elden Ring players can discuss the game until the sun comes up. There's plenty of debate to be had with the now beloved title, but most seem to agree that Malenia Blade of Miquella/Goddess of Rot is the game's absolute hardest boss.

This powerful enemy is an optional fight that requires you to find the two halves of the Haligtree medallion. Once you've stumbled across her, you'll need to strap in for one hell of a ride. Speed? She's got it! Regenerating health? She's got it! Multiple phases? She's got them too!

Battling against this boss is a task very few can handle. She throws some incredible attacks your way, and your hopes of parrying or dodging are slim. She even adds insult to injury by having the ability to heal every time she lands a blow. So, your best chances of beating her involve never getting hit, which is no easy task.

Malenia sets the scene for your battle perfectly, stating, "I have never known defeat." Even after Elden Ring has been out as long as it has, it's safe to say Malenia is the ultimate test.
