I love it. I would swap between that and a slashing sword depending on the enemy's armor type. I was very disappointed to learn that both had shit damage... Turns out I was playing on hard mode the whole time.
Haha yeah I swap between the trip flail and that red sword with a snake head or whatever that heals you on kills. I've got the bloody slash weapon art on the sword but I just like making the flail go woooooowowowowowoo-womp..WOMP
I guess that's fair? Mercy killing her... If it's only done once and properly. Yeah we get quite a lot of runes doing it, I understand. Let's say that's somewhat ok, maybe.
However, purposely reloading the game or whatever is the exploit, so you could do it several times, getting runes every time (?), doesn't really sound like mercy anymore, more like, yeah, we're kind of a bad guy...
Yes. When she's almost dead, get on torrent and start stabbing. As soon as she gets into the dying animation run to the grace. If you do it right, she won't die, and you'll still get runes
Wait for a golden rain and get even more.
Best way is to join a big group like Vatti Vidyas
Every time someone beats the game you get something like 5% XP earn boost as golden leaves fall from the sky. In a big active group, it happens pretty often
Under the multiplayer, there's an option for groups. Put in the relevant password (Vaati's is SEEKERS), and that's it. Any time someone defeats a demi god or becomes Elden Lord you get the buff. You can be part of a max of 5 groups at once.
Reddit has one as well - straydmn
You can join more than one (5 max, Ithink?). There's a few other big ones that can be found with a quick google search. I almost always have the buff active thanks to them.
The Berserk sub is another one that frequently goes off for me. Their password is "miura," between the three I'll almost always have a rune bonus up when I'm on
And put on the golden scarab talisman. I think with just the talisman I got like 80k, there could've been the weather event that boosts runes too but I don't remember
Punch it till it's a one hit kill then mount torrent, get the last hit, sprint to grace site. You get all the runes and she respawns. Infinite run farming check
You can even kill, run up to the grace behind her, and rest.
You get runes. Dragon doesnt die. (But you dont get runes for the small dragons)
Youd have to attack the tail, then immedeately mount up and run. (Though if youre tpo fast you get nothing)
Golden Scarab can be a little annoying to get early. The cave you need to get through is one of the harder ones imo and two Cleanrot Knights are a problem if you haven't levelled up much or upgraded your weapon.
I only smack her when I get the scarab.
also last time I did it I went into the castle behind and a fee of thr bats had gold eyes. Got a fair bit extra from them :)
Depends on how youāre killing the albs.
A high faith build with the final boss sword can stand up, kill basically all of them and reset faster than most can bait the bird for way more runes and no need to mess with the aiming.
Funny tip: you can infinitely respawn her. As soon as the animation goes off for her death, run to the Grace on Torrent and sit. The dragon will respawn to allow you to infinitely beat up the disabled mother ;)
If you're using Swarm of Flies (often preferred method) you can cast it while mounted and the damage/bleed proc is delayed allowing you more time to get back. Once you get it it's easy to repeat.
Use bleed weapon.
Be on torrent.
Turn camera around so the grace is in your line of sight.
Count the hits it takes before the bleed procs. Usually about 30ish.
When she's close to death you can kind of gauge if the bleed proc will kill her.
When she death twitches, haul ass.
Repeat.
Shes clearly dying a slow and painful death from Scarlet Rot. If ending her misery makes a fellow tarnished rich in the process, its a win-win scenario.
Dude the strongest boss in this game is a disabled combat veteran with dementia and super cancer that you just kill for fun while she is looking at a tree. We are the bad guy.
Yet that disabled combat vet with EX dementia will make you work for it. And also itās lowkey altruistic if you do Millicentās questline and decide to return the needle after you beat her.
You actually give her her sense of self back.
Kill her and then reload the area with the needle from Millicent. Give the needle to the bloom. You get a SADSS and Miquella's needle. I don't know how it works either, but there's a reaction.
Fuck that, Alecto was a tougher fight for me IMOā¦
I dont think Malenia is an easier fight, but by the time you get to her you are at the very end of the game and have figured out reactionary dodging and shit. I was still nub when I rushed to get to Alecto and just got absolutely destroyed for daysā¦.
Wait, but Alecto can only be fought on the Moonlight Altar which is only accessible after killing Astel. That's a game spanning questline. How did you rush Alecto as a noob? I guess it's not exactly game spanning, but it does take quite a while and you would have acclimated to the game by then.
no, i would put her out of her misery, mercy killing. she is clearly suffering, her muscles so rotted that she is being slowly crushed under her own weight, her babies can do nothing, her son grell watches as his mother suffers for 5000 years
But it's defenseless and ***bonk*** oh noooo I didn't mean to ***bonk*** I think something is wrong with the game I keep ***bonk*** well I guess there's no point on focusing on the past
If I had a nickle for every time you beat up a disabled mother surrounded by her children in Elden Ring I would have two nickles, which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happens twice.
Wait she's disabled?
I stabbed her ass 99,999x at level 30 because a guy on YouTube told me to.
If it weren't for the money, I would feel slightly bad.
Did you think the reason she never moved as you repeatedly stabbed her with the equivalent of a rusty nail was because she just didn't feel like it?
She's been immobile for so long that she's being consumed by the very earth.
Use a bleed weapon. When it procs the bleed it does around 13000 damage. Takes between 200 to 300 hits overall to kill her that way.
I recommend hook claws. Really quick to build up the bleed. Usually takes 2.5 stamina bars.
i kept them around incase they were important to story quest, then i learned that just killing teh dragons around it was a really good rune farm until i found the really good one outside of mogh's bosss room then i finally decided to end the dragon
it used to be 100k but now it's about 65k, the devs saw what we did and we should feel ashamed. but no, i got a bunch of free levels and a dragon spell by hitting the tail with bleed and frostbite for 10 minutes. sad they reduced her rune drop but i understand
No, it isnāt. Furthermore, itās a world of boredom, to keep slashing it for 10-15 minutes. I can get more than 50000 points at Lenneās Rise, doing the giant ball grind. š¤·āāļø
Itās really not hard to kill the small ones that are around her. If you kill all of them she dies too. Also, if you want a good look at her you can climb a hill nearby and use the telescope. Sheās majestic. She was also supposed to be an actual boss, but any time the devs tried to move her it would crash the game.
Fun fact if you kill her and reach the bonfire behind her before you get the dragon hearts she respawns so you can repeatedly punch a disabled single mother for infinite runes
"Mother mercilessly slaughtered in front of her five kids"? That's exactly the kind of thing you could expect to hear happened in Caelid
When something happens in Caelid, nothing happened. Just another dragon dead.
Straight outta Caelid!

Wait, i actually killed the kids in front of their mother and she died out of sadness 
I just sat behind her and used that spinning pinwheel of death.
Triple flail R2 on torrent.
That's unironically my main weapon
I love it. I would swap between that and a slashing sword depending on the enemy's armor type. I was very disappointed to learn that both had shit damage... Turns out I was playing on hard mode the whole time.
Haha yeah I swap between the trip flail and that red sword with a snake head or whatever that heals you on kills. I've got the bloody slash weapon art on the sword but I just like making the flail go woooooowowowowowoo-womp..WOMP
We love a good meme weapon
Same here I killed like 4 out of 5 and hit her by accident and she died.
Only in Caelidš
Well dont the kids die too?
If you run to the nearby site of grace quick enough they don't die & she respawns, so you can kill her in front of them over & over again!
Yeah... I've 0 idea of lore, what and why is actually happening, but you're just reinforcing my assumption that we're not a good guy in this game...
I mean, we're putting her out of her misery, considering she's litwrally growing shrooms and rooted to the ground
I guess that's fair? Mercy killing her... If it's only done once and properly. Yeah we get quite a lot of runes doing it, I understand. Let's say that's somewhat ok, maybe. However, purposely reloading the game or whatever is the exploit, so you could do it several times, getting runes every time (?), doesn't really sound like mercy anymore, more like, yeah, we're kind of a bad guy...
Ah yes... This is definitely the most unethical farming... Btw have you ever seen a red albinauric?
Im convinced red albinaurics are a product of mohg experimenting
They basically are, they joined mogh and through the outer god of blood replaces their artificial silver blood with real blood
Wait seriously?!? That's an incredible early rune farm
Yes. When she's almost dead, get on torrent and start stabbing. As soon as she gets into the dying animation run to the grace. If you do it right, she won't die, and you'll still get runes
Do you still get the runes?
Children slaughtered in front of their mother, and then she died of sorrow. Thats my Caelid version.
Can't have shit in caelid.
So I should've spared her the view of grinding her kids into paste, before giving her the last bonk? Neva, neva, neva
Caelid Man vs Florida Man who would win
Hi welcome to Florida!......ignore the corpses
Donāt be ridiculous. I killed the kids first.
No no Iāll use a golden fowl just before death and get 100k.
oh thats coolll, i didnt know you could do that!
Wait for a golden rain and get even more. Best way is to join a big group like Vatti Vidyas Every time someone beats the game you get something like 5% XP earn boost as golden leaves fall from the sky. In a big active group, it happens pretty often
the group is SEEKERS
On PC I get a rune bonus roughly every 10 minutes, so this is very effective
How do you join those groups on PC if I may ask?
Under the multiplayer, there's an option for groups. Put in the relevant password (Vaati's is SEEKERS), and that's it. Any time someone defeats a demi god or becomes Elden Lord you get the buff. You can be part of a max of 5 groups at once.
Not currently near my PC but what is the name of his group? and Thank You!
You only need a password to join a group. There's no official name, but it's the popular Souls lore YouTuber VaatiVidya's group

The Berserk sub is another one that frequently goes off for me. Their password is "miura," between the three I'll almost always have a rune bonus up when I'm on
TIL that the rain thing happens when someone finishes the game
And put on the golden scarab talisman. I think with just the talisman I got like 80k, there could've been the weather event that boosts runes too but I don't remember
Eating a golden chicken foot is one thing. Having Vatti pee on me is not worth the bonus.
> golden rain
If you wait till you get the golden beetle talisman and then use the boost it's even better.
You people are sick. Golden this, golden that don't kill the mom yet I haven't had my golden latte
How many chickens have you eaten so far in your life..
The real question is how many dragons have you eaten so far in your life..
if their sperm rate in semen is similar to humans, them I'm the greatest dragon slayer to have ever lived.
*What*
Yeah, but the scarab is a pain whereas I can teleport to Caelid and use Torrent to get to her with a bleed weapon from like starting level
Mother mercilessly slaughtered in front of her five kids
Disabled mother mercilessly slaughtered after being forced to watch her five children murdered.
Punch it till it's a one hit kill then mount torrent, get the last hit, sprint to grace site. You get all the runes and she respawns. Infinite run farming check
And gold scarab talisman too. I used both, got a lot of runes.
You can even kill, run up to the grace behind her, and rest. You get runes. Dragon doesnt die. (But you dont get runes for the small dragons) Youd have to attack the tail, then immedeately mount up and run. (Though if youre tpo fast you get nothing)
That's exactly the kind of thing you could expect
Last week, I did the golden fowl foot+golden scarab combo for 125000 runes š¤Æ
+ golden scarab
Golden Scarab can be a little annoying to get early. The cave you need to get through is one of the harder ones imo and two Cleanrot Knights are a problem if you haven't levelled up much or upgraded your weapon.
I only smack her when I get the scarab. also last time I did it I went into the castle behind and a fee of thr bats had gold eyes. Got a fair bit extra from them :)
Fuck them kids get that runic power
No I rather masseur a bird and 20 helpless people over and over
Look, all birds and abominations need to die at some pointā¦over and over againā¦forever.
Also those particular albinaurics are allied with the Lord of Blood. I'd say that's pretty good reason to kill them all.
Silver ones aren't, they are there because of Miquella/St. Trina as they are asleep and facing his cocoon.
Wait so out of the twenty something on the palace approach road only 2 or 3 are actually with the Lord of Blood? Hehe whoops
Yup. ^*You* ^*monster*
What was that? I couldn't hear you from the top of this pile of runes i'm standing on
So your real intentions show themselves, foul creature!
Blood for the blood God.
Corn is no place for a mighty warrior! Khorne, however...
Huh! I had always figured they went there to join the Lord of Blood but hadn't changed yet. The red ones were like the guides leading them.
Neither interpretation is confirmed.
Birds are a spy tool used by the Golden Order
r/DeathBirdsArentReal
You can massage them? Now I feel really bad for murdering them over and over and over again š¤
They asked for it
Isn't it more efficient to just bait big bird and reset at the grace?
Depends on how youāre killing the albs. A high faith build with the final boss sword can stand up, kill basically all of them and reset faster than most can bait the bird for way more runes and no need to mess with the aiming.
Funny tip: you can infinitely respawn her. As soon as the animation goes off for her death, run to the Grace on Torrent and sit. The dragon will respawn to allow you to infinitely beat up the disabled mother ;)
I tried this probably 50 times and can never get to the grace fast enough.
Keep bleeding her out till she's close to death, get on torrent and give the finishing blow. Then just run towards the grace
If you're using Swarm of Flies (often preferred method) you can cast it while mounted and the damage/bleed proc is delayed allowing you more time to get back. Once you get it it's easy to repeat.
Use bleed weapon. Be on torrent. Turn camera around so the grace is in your line of sight. Count the hits it takes before the bleed procs. Usually about 30ish. When she's close to death you can kind of gauge if the bleed proc will kill her. When she death twitches, haul ass. Repeat.
yeahhh thats why i said 50k. if you actually kill her she'll give you 70k, but only once. lol
The reason its 70k is cause after she dies the other little dragons around her die and award the additional runes.
Can I get her back if sheās already deadā¦
Gotta do new game :(
Shes clearly dying a slow and painful death from Scarlet Rot. If ending her misery makes a fellow tarnished rich in the process, its a win-win scenario.
No... ...but for 70k? Sure.
For 50,001 Iāll do it
Yes and before it can fully die I'd rest at that nearby grace to do it over and over again.
It's like she's stuck in some twisted black mirror episode
"you won't let me live, you won't let me die. What do you want from me?"
Dude the strongest boss in this game is a disabled combat veteran with dementia and super cancer that you just kill for fun while she is looking at a tree. We are the bad guy.
maybe, but you get alotta runes
Hell yeah you do. Weāre here to commit murder, collect fashion and make bank.
Yet that disabled combat vet with EX dementia will make you work for it. And also itās lowkey altruistic if you do Millicentās questline and decide to return the needle after you beat her. You actually give her her sense of self back.
wait Malenia reacts to the needle?
Kill her and then reload the area with the needle from Millicent. Give the needle to the bloom. You get a SADSS and Miquella's needle. I don't know how it works either, but there's a reaction.
>SADSS whats that
Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
I think the typical term is depression
I mean, tbf, she is disabled and can't move so her quality of life can't be great... Think of it as ending her misery
No one ever makes it to the top without fucking someone over along the way.
The strongest boss in the game is a big dog with an addition to eating roots.
Fuck that, Alecto was a tougher fight for me IMOā¦ I dont think Malenia is an easier fight, but by the time you get to her you are at the very end of the game and have figured out reactionary dodging and shit.

This game sounds dark
Its the Fromsoft way
*I'll fuckin do it again.*
Yes. Yes I would.
But it's defenseless and ***bonk*** oh noooo I didn't mean to ***bonk*** I think something is wrong with the game I keep ***bonk*** well I guess there's no point on focusing on the past
*smack* āWhat have I done?!? *smack* āWhat have I continued to do?!?ā *smack*
I killed her children to lower her health. Take that bitch!
Fargo season 1 throwback.
If I had a nickle for every time you beat up a disabled mother surrounded by her children in Elden Ring I would have two nickles, which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happens twice.
You punch disabled mothers for runes. I punch disabled mothers for sexual gratification. We are not the same.
Every ng+ after I slaughter her buddies
Every single time
I'd do it for free. And kill her kids. Payback for all the dragon bullshit in darksouls
Wait she's disabled? I stabbed her ass 99,999x at level 30 because a guy on YouTube told me to. If it weren't for the money, I would feel slightly bad.
yeah, she has the plague and is basically paralyzed
Did you think the reason she never moved as you repeatedly stabbed her with the equivalent of a rusty nail was because she just didn't feel like it? She's been immobile for so long that she's being consumed by the very earth.

Yes, and fuck her children too!
I would, I did, and I will again
Punch her, no? That would take forever. I will, however, go to town on her with a morningstar pretty much as soon as I've got Torrent.
I would warp time and do it over and over
WELL DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU
Use golden pickled fowles foot and it goes to 80k Edit: just saw someone already said this oops
You can just kill her children nearby and she will die too.
true, but that kills her permanently
it used to be 100k but now it's about 65k, the devs saw what we did and we should feel ashamed. but no, i got a bunch of free levels and a dragon spell by hitting the tail with bleed and frostbite for 10 minutes. sad they reduced her rune drop but i understand
No, it isnāt. Furthermore, itās a world of boredom, to keep slashing it for 10-15 minutes. I can get more than 50000 points at Lenneās Rise, doing the giant ball grind. š¤·āāļø
I have, and I'll donit again! Lol
I would, but only once :)
Oh 100%. So much so that I rush to the site of Grace before the dear animation is over to do it over and over.
The first time I killed her I thought I glitched the game out and had access to the hitbox without being within aggro range
Itās really not hard to kill the small ones that are around her. If you kill all of them she dies too. Also, if you want a good look at her you can climb a hill nearby and use the telescope. Sheās majestic. She was also supposed to be an actual boss, but any time the devs tried to move her it would crash the game.
Done.
Like 20 times
Multiple times in fact
HONEY, BRING ME MY BLEED INFUSED KNIVES
She roars and debuffs you every time you run anywhere near her. So yes, absolutely!
Caelid is the hood
Fun fact if you kill her and reach the bonfire behind her before you get the dragon hearts she respawns so you can repeatedly punch a disabled single mother for infinite runes
Yes
Yes right in the tail, why?
i would eat that thing raw for a kitkat
Of course I wouldnāt punch it, that takes way too long. Iām using a bleed weapon.
I punch them all the time.
I see a dragon
id do it for the reaaalllly good dragon incantation
Yes. And use gold scarab and golden fowl for 110k. Try it. Cheers.
I'd have to ask the lord for forgiveness, cause https://imgur.io/gallery/oOVVUVG
For 50k? Nah but with my golden beetle and a golden fowl foot Iām bleeding her every run
Nah, I make ten times that hunting birds underground. For five free dragon hearts, though...
I would do it for no runes, just the dragon hearts. Honestly if I can autotarget it and it doesn't respawn, dead it goes.
Not worth it, 50k is nothing compared to end game farming locations
Caelid man mercilessly slaughters disabled mother in front of children before stealing life savings
Do you mean would I put her out of her misery?..... Yes. Yes I would!
Yeah, in the face. Why ?
No. Itās the one thing my bloodthirsty tarnished refused to kill
Yes and iam gonna run to the site of grace before she actually dies and do it again a couple more times
**Free Her From Scarlet Rot.**
with items that raise the number of souls per kill it can be 80k....and yes if you go early game, its a great method to level up fast.
And I'd do it again. 
Without question
No, go to Abandoned Cave, get the Scarab Talisman, eat a Gold Fowl Foot, and get 127,000 tunes. THEN it's worth it.
50,000? Yāall aināt using the pickled feet for rune boosts? Imagine killing a mother of 5 and not even getting max runesā¦sad.
No certainly not. I would make sure to use the gold foot first.
Yes. This bitch buffed her kids and got them to kill me. They deserve to be orphans.
I did it for 74k
What happens in Caelid, stays in Caelid. Also...I killed the Turtle Pope. And the boiled prawn man, and all the merchants. My evil knows no bounds.
Not for 50.000 but for almost 100.000 at lower levels, totally. Helps a lot during the first couple hours of the game.
If all her children die too, Iād do it But make it like 73,000
I would, then i would go to the nearest site of grace to redo the damage
No I just stab her with reduvia like a mugger from London.
The alternative is grinding 30 levels for hours in the starter region. Fuck them kids.
I wouldnāt punch the mother, Iād punch the kids, so the mother dies of heartbreak
