Elden Ringis a game full of difficult enemies. As with any FromSoftware title, the bosses inElden Ringcan test any player’s skill and patience as they will likely die multiple times in an effort to beat enemies like Radahn and Margit. One of the more difficult bosses to be found inElden Ringis Malenia, Blade of Miquella. Many Tarnished, besides the famed Let Me Solo Her player, who has currentlybeaten Malenia inElden Ringover 2000 times, will fall to her quick and sweeping attacks.
Even with Malenia’s difficulty, manyElden Ringplayers have found a way to cheese the boss. For the uninitiated, cheesing in regard to a FromSoftware title is when a player beats a boss using an unforeseen and “unfair” method. There are many ways that one can cheese, from luring a mounted enemy off a cliff, to using magic that just melts a boss’s HP bar. OneElden Ringplayer, known as Burgerroi on Reddit, has recently shown off the latter way to cheese, obliterating Malenia in her second phase with Faith magic.

With a Faith build, infinite FP, and Unendurable Frenzy, Burgerroi simply walks at Malenia while firing constant bursts of flame at her. TheElden Ringplayer takes a small amount of damage, but before long Malenia is constantly stunned with each hit as her health just melts away. According to Burgerroi, this combo is the Faith version of using infinite FP and the Comet Azur sorcery. ConsideringComet Azur is a devastating sorcery inElden Ringand one player managed to kill Mohg with only three uses of it, Burgerroi’s play shows that Faith can be just as powerful.
Usually, a player wouldn’t want to risk standing so close to Malenia in case she inflicted Madness on them. However, Burgerroi explained that they managed to just tank the Madness while dealing out so much damage by wearing armor with the highest Focus stat. Burgerroi’s cheese is certainly an impressive one, but it isn’t the only time that anElden Ringplayer managed to defeat Maleniaquickly. OneElden Ringplayer even beat the boss with a weapon that looked like a pizza cutter.
Of course, it isn’t just Malenia that can be cheesed inElden Ring,and there are plenty of other boss fights that can be made easier than they should be. However, not all cheesing attempts are guaranteed to give anElden Ringplayer an easy victory. When trying tolure the Falling Star Beast off a cliff inElden Ring, for example, one player managed to pull themselves to their death.
Elden Ringis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
