Strategy for Maliketh, the Black Blade (Nightfall) in Elden Ring Nightreign, covering both phases and weaknesses.

·Multi-source verified (67/67)

Maliketh, the Black Blade (Nightfall) is a challenging, two-phase fight. Phase 1 (Beast Clergyman): Fast and aggressive, using bestial incantations and a dagger. His 'Stone of Gurranq' and 'Beast Claw' attacks deal dark damage. Watch for 'Shadow Roar'. Phase 2 (Maliketh): Incredibly agile, using his Black Blade to inflict 'Destined Death (Nightfall)' (reduces max HP and drains it). His 'Blade of Death' projectiles are faster. Stay close, dodge through his attacks, and punish brief recovery windows. Parrying with 'Blasphemous Claw' creates openings. Reward: Remembrance of the Black Blade (Nightfall).
