Elden Ring - How to beat Maliketh, the Black Blade with colossal swords [Comprehensive guide]
This is a quick video guide giving explanations and tips on how to face one of the fastest bosses in the game, Beast Clergyman / Maliketh, the Black Blade with colossal swords/UGS, using the Zweihander for showcase. You will find a list of every attack of his moveset with corresponding dodges and punishes, then an unedited gameplay showcase of a Level 1 NG+7 +0 weapon/No upgrade fight against him with no Blasephemous claw and no damage taken.
In preparation for my upcoming complex Maliketh video guide, if you want to learn more about the fight I have written a detailed guide going in-depth on the moveset and strategies to employ against Maliketh here : https://docs.google.com/document/d/15...
