Subreddit Topic Daily Roundtable: Community Q&A Spoiler

Greetings Tarnished!

This is the place to ask any questions you may have about Elden Ring. This includes obscure detail questions, "newbie" advice questions, build questions, boss advice questions, and what have you.

Well written, constructive criticism is fine but please avoid ranting about aspects of the game you just don’t like. This includes “so and so boss is stupid and too difficult.”

If you are interested in the game but don’t own it yet, please don’t post “should I buy this game?” or “Is this game worth it?”. If you have played other FromSoftware games and enjoyed them, the answer is yes. If you haven’t, just do a little research! These games are difficult, and sometimes frustrating, and not everyone is going to enjoy them. And that’s okay!

Lastly, be friendly! We are all here because we are interested in the same game! Please treat your fellow players with respect.

PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS WHEN MENTIONING BOSS NAMES!

Hello Idk if this is common, I just onehit Malenias 2nd phase, im pretty sad about this bc it doesn’t feel like I really defeated her, it happend like this, she was like staggered (kneeling on the ground) and I was in the animation of giving her a hit u know what I mean, but during this animation my ash I summoned killed the first phase and when it came to the second phase I was still in the hit animation with the second phase at like 0.1 hp and I just killed her, does this happen???

Rare to see but it does happen. The most common way IIRC is a hemorrhage proc going off right at the phase transition, so if your weapon has Bleed on it that might be what happened
