Hilarious Elden Ring Fail: Player Attempts to One-Shot Malenia, Ends Up One-Shot Themselves

In the challenging realm of Elden Ring, players often seek innovative ways to confront formidable foes, with Malenia standing out as one of the most formidable adversaries. Since the game's release, gamers have taken on the audacious task of defeating Malenia under unique constraints, such as level 1 challenges or abstaining from rolling during the confrontation. However, a recent video has surfaced, showcasing a player's attempt to buff themselves extensively before taking on Malenia, only to meet a comically disastrous end.

Reddit user ALastDawn shared a video detailing their encounter with Malenia in Elden Ring, accompanied by a title claiming they achieved a one-shot victory against the formidable boss using a melee weapon, purportedly setting a new world record. However, the title turned out to be a humorous ruse, as they perished at the hands of Malenia with a single, devastating hit. ALastDawn devoted a considerable amount of time to applying an array of buffs before crossing the fog gate, further enhancing their abilities before initiating the battle. Despite their meticulous preparations, Malenia remained unfazed, swiftly dispatching ALastDawn before they could even launch a single attack.

Commenters on the Reddit post shared their amusement at being initially fooled by ALastDawn's video, with many finding humor in the Elden Ring clip. Some viewers pointed out the fake message within the video from "Let Me Solo Her", requesting ALastDawn's assistance in defeating Malenia. While the post was intended as a jest, a few players noted that the title wasn't entirely inaccurate, as Malenia did indeed eliminate her adversary with a single, devastating blow. Others expressed a mix of amusement and frustration, feeling both entertained and somewhat robbed by the post.

It's worth noting that a previous Elden Ring player achieved the remarkable feat of one-shotting Malenia earlier in 2023, dispatching her in just two strikes. As the boss battle encompasses two distinct phases, successfully defeating Malenia necessitates depleting both of her health bars. The player in the aforementioned video also invested substantial effort into applying buffs and bonuses, underscoring the meticulous planning required to conquer this challenge.
