Elden Ring’s late-game bosses are tough, so what better way to ease the pain of FromSoftware latest epic than by cutting out the middle man and getting one boss to fight another boss on your behalf? We’ve already had one such showdown before, pitting Malenia against Starcourge Radahn (and his pal Leonard the horse), and the victor of that skirmish is now back, this time taking on Maliketh, the Black Blade.
This latest battle of Elden Ring’s elite comes courtesy of the Garden of Eyes, the same modder that bought Malenia face to face with Radahn (and that also pitted Bloodborne’s Lady Maria against Resident Evil Village’s Lady Dimitrescu), this time promising the “ultimate battle of the Shardbearers” and delivering a whole lot of pyrotechnics as the two fight it out.
Those who’ve yet to enter the gauntlet of carefully curated misery that makes up Elden Ring’s final stretch will obviously want to steer clear of Garden of Eyes’ latest head-to-head for obvious spoiler reasons, but those eager to see who reigns victorious this time around simply need to watch the video below.
