Top 15 Extremely Difficult Bosses in Elden Ring

2. Maliketh, the Black Blade

Actually, this battle is in two parts, the first being against the Beast Clergyman Gurranq; a formidable foe in his own right blasting treacherous projectiles and unleashing dangerous AOE attacks. The second part is where Maliketh, the Black Blade’s true identy is revealed, and this is an altogether more agile, more equipped, and downright deadlier fighter. Even dodging his devastating combos depletes your stamina bar – you’d best be prepared for an intense battle before entering Maliketh’s arena.
