Elden Ring Player Suffers Heartbreaking Loss to Maliketh
An Elden Ring player shares a clip of their heartbreaking loss to Maliketh, The Black Blade. Elden Ring features many difficult bosses, and Maliketh is among the most challenging encounters in the game. This battle takes place in a late-game area called Crumbling Farum Azula, and players are required to beat the boss to progress through the main story.
Given the difficulty of the fight, many Elden Ring fans have suffered defeats at the hands of Maliketh. As an example, one Elden Ring player died unfairly while trying to beat Maliketh, as the boss depleted all of their health with a single move. Now, another Elden Ring user tragically dies to Maliketh, and they were unbelievably close to beating the boss.
As seen in the video uploaded on Reddit, this fight is a co-op battle against Maliketh in Elden Ring, with the poster helping a different user with the battle. The Elden Ring players are probably moments away from earning the victory, with the boss only having a bit of health left. On the other hand, both gamers are at almost full HP, with the summoned user also having four Flasks of Crimson Tears in their inventory. The Reddit poster manages to land a hit on Maliketh, and it looks like the boss is just one hit away from defeat.

However, Maliketh uses a deadly combination of attacks, depleting all the user’s health in just three hits. The host is alive at this moment, but they too are unable to finish off Maliketh, as the boss takes them out with a follow-up move. It’s perhaps common for Elden Ring players to die quickly if they have not leveled the vigor stat, but the user had relatively high HP, so it doesn’t appear to be applicable in this case.
Some fans in the comments section state that the player got greedy in this Elden Ring encounter, which ultimately led to their death. Other users share some useful suggestions that can help gamers in similar situations, such as always having throwable items available to deplete the last remaining health of bosses and challenging enemies.
Some Elden Ring fans also discuss the difficulty of the fight against Maliketh, with one user stating that the fast attacks and dramatic soundtrack make them terrified of this boss. Another gamer calls Maliketh broken, claiming that this fight is harder than Malenia’s first phase, while some other players share their love for the battle.
Elden Ring is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
