The Hardest Boss Fights of 2022

Malenia, Blade of Miquella – Elden Ring

One of the toughest bosses in the history of FromSoftware, Malenia, Blade of Miquella, has never known defeat. Get used to hearing that as you die many times, trying unsuccessfully to avoid her Waterfowl Dance or near-fatal grab attack in the first phase. Just when you think it’s over, she transforms in the second phase, unleashing even more attacks that afflict the Scarlet Rot on top of big damage over time. All of this is bad enough, but you have to avoid getting hit since Malenia has lifesteal. Defeating her is truly an accomplishment.
