About this mod
Challenge mod for Malenia, very significantly increasing the
difficulty, while trying to keep the quality of Vanilla, lots of new animations, phases and more.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
My main goal is to make the battle with Malenia much more difficult, so that it can be an interesting challenge even for those who know Vanilla Malenia in detail (and this requires more than one successful Malenia kill).
That said, unlike Vanilla, the boss difficulty is less compromised, so I'm not positioning this mod as "better than Vanilla" for making Malenia better than the developers is an impossible task
Rather, this mod aims to represent a more canonical image of Malenia, a Warrior who has never known defeat, where the Tarnished has practically no chance of winning, even considering her injuries.
So I think I should clarify this important point: I balanced and designed the entire battle with her around the melee zone, just like in vanilla all attacks and ultimates can be played consistently in the melee and mid roll
Of course, light roll and feather talisman still give a gigantic advantage, but I don't want to balance the battle around these tools.
Fighting her from afar with magic won't work (you can try, you will be surprised), Midrange "zoning" gameplay is much more difficult.
In general, to be able to fight back this Malenia, you need to know the Vanilla battle perfectly.
Of course I highly do not recommend this mod if you have only successfully completed vanilla Malenia a few times, if you don't know how to dodge Waterfowl Dance in melee without tools.
QoL
Patch 1.01 | You now restore 3 flasks at the beginning of the Goddess of Rot phase.
Patch 1.02 | Crafting a Preserving Boluses requires no materials
Patch 1.03 | This statue can also restore the fight with Malenia (it also rolls back Millicenta's quest by 1 step and returns the needle to you, if you completed the fight, to a new ending).
Patch 1.03 | Added option to train only the Goddess of Rot Phase, If you have beat the Blade of Miquella phase at least once, you will be able to interact with the twin statue (which is right next to the Haligtree roots grace).
If you do this, the fight with Malenia will immediately start with the Goddess of Rot phase, but you will not be able to complete the fight completely
To exit training mode, interact with the statue again.
In Patch 1.06 this function is disabled, due to technical problems, the battle restoration still works.
