During an Elden Ring host's party, an invader showed up unexpectedly disguised as the notorious boss Malenia, Blade of Miquella. The game's PVP scene is vastly different from its typical PVE gameplay, allowing players to get creative with their tactics. For instance, one player managed to set up a clever ambush in Elden Ring's Lake of Rot. However, this particular invader took creativity to the next level by dressing up as Malenia and striking fear into the hearts of a host and their party.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella is widely regarded as the most challenging boss in Elden Ring, causing countless players to perish in battle. Her infamous Waterfowl Dance attack is particularly devastating, and defeating her first phase only leads to a more challenging second phase as the Goddess of Rot emerges. Simply seeing her is enough to strike fear into the hearts of many players. In fact, some have reported dying to Malenia over 1,800 times before finally emerging victorious.
And that's exactly what an Elden Ring invader accomplished by ambushing a party of co-op players in their world. A clip uploaded by user GaelTheVapeMaster on r/Eldenring shows the invader, disguised as Malenia and wielding her sword, waiting outside an elevator as it descends with the players. As soon as the elevator reaches the bottom, the invader launches the deadly Waterfowl Dance attack.
The attack proves to be fatal for both the host and one of their companions, securing a win for the invader. They turn to the remaining co-op partner and exchange greetings, as there is little left to do in such a dire situation. Players have had to devise several strategies to evade the lethal Waterfowl Dance, given its overwhelming potency.
However, playing PVP in Elden Ring can offer a one-of-a-kind experience for the host, especially if they're new to the game. With its already unique gameplay, PVP adds an extra layer of excitement, as seen when a player transformed into a living furnace. This is just one example of what makes Elden Ring so special, and players can expect more surprises as they continue to delve into the game. Elden Ring is available on multiple platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
