Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is an optional boss in Elden Ring, the 2022 action role-playing game from FromSoftware, and she is widely known as one of its hardest fights. In her second phase as the Goddess of Rot, she unleashes a large scarlet rot bloom that deals heavy damage over a wide area, an attack players often share in clips and compilations. Because Malenia remains a popular challenge run and meme subject, her bloom sound continues to appear in boss guides, reaction videos and Elden Ring edits long after the game's release.
