what is malekith weak to elden ring

Malekith, the Black Blade is a late-game boss in Elden Ring. Here are some of his weaknesses and tips to beat him:

• Bleed – Malekith is very susceptible to bleed damage, so weapons and Ashes of War with the Bleed effect will do extra damage against him.
• Fire – Fire damage also works well against Malekith. Weapons, spells and items that deal fire damage will chip away at his health.
• Jump attacks – Doing jump attacks when Malekith is recovering from one of his combos can deal good posture damage.
• Use summons – Summoning spirits or other players to provide distractions and deal damage can be helpful against Malekith.
• Attack the in-between – Malekith has long combo strings with few openings. But you can attack in between his combos when he pauses briefly.
• Stay close – It’s best to stay right up close to Malekith for much of the fight. This limits the range of his most dangerous attacks.
• Dodge into his attacks – Dodging into Malekith’s slide and leap attacks can cause you to evade them more reliably than dodging away.
• Stay patient – Malekith has many combos and AOE attacks, so stay patient, pick your moments and avoid getting greedy. Only go for a hit or two at a time.
• Disrupt his phase 2 – In phase 2, Malekith gains new deadly attacks. Try to disrupt this transition by staying aggressive so he doesn’t fly up into the air.
