A dynamic Elden Ring duo named "Let Us Duo Her" has discovered a novel method for easily defeating one of the game's most challenging bosses, Malenia, Blade of Miquella. By utilizing the new abilities and weapons from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, these players managed to exploit a weakness in Malenia's attack patterns. Employing the Dryleaf Whirlwind ash of war and donning Dane’s Footwork gear, they locked Malenia into a perpetual stun animation. This strategy, elucidated in a YouTube video, allowed the pair to repeatedly kick Malenia, bypassing most of her fearsome attack stages, and ultimately defeating her in a manner that many may see as "cheesing."
