Farum Azula’s crumbling is one of the most terrifying areas in all of the Elden Ring, filled with death blobs, dragons, and bloodthirsty Beastmen around every corner. It’s a rough ride, but clearing the area is the last step before you’re ready to take on the game’s final bosses in Leyndell. Only one thing stands in your way: Maliketh, the Black Sword.
Maliketh is a relentless foe whose two phases require drastically different approaches. Fortunately, if you know what to look for and go into the fight equipped with a few important items, you’ll be victorious in no time.
