He has an extra dialogue the first time you enter, that's it.

Maliketh is still there.

nothing, he gives you an ancient dragon smithing stone

yeah but he drops an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone so there's that

I doubt you fought all the bosses... made me think the boss fight was going to be hard but it was nothing after 2 hours of Malenia. The only thing about this boss is the cheese. When the second phase starts and the cutscene plays it teleports you to a new location. It got my off guard twice, but third time was the charm. General Radhan was my favorite but Dragonlord Placidusax was a force of nature. Epic dragon fight.

The second phase is awesome but i despise the first one.

Harder than malenia??

Big doubt you fought all bosses

what? how does he have ''very few health'' ? dude is tanky as all hell lmao

I hadn���t considered poison. I���ve been using bleed which worked well in the first phase but not so much in the second

First you go way down, then slightly up lol

This comment should get more attention. Scarlet rot is the way if you are struggling. Use mimic tear to disctract him, fast wepon with rot, and then run the f away.

This is actually important for anyone struggling and should be added to the wiki strategy asap.

Waht dobyou mean by long? The run back is really dhort. Conpared to other bosses maybe not, but still it's pretty short.

Have you played any souls games before this? The walk backs in this game are literally nothing compared to some of the runs you had to do to get back to a boss in previous games.

buddy hasn't played ds2 and it shows
