Alex Garland also cannot beat the Malenia in the Elden ring and talks about his experience

If you’ve ever made angry after the tenth attempt to beat the Malenia Ring EldenYou are in good company, director Alex Garland knows your pain.

The acclaimed director behind Ex machina AND AnnihilationWho is also ready to direct the next Ring Elden A24 film, he is currently at his seventh playthrough of the game. It turns out that it is still blocked on the same garment that persecutes the dreams of innumerable small closets: Malenia, Miqualla’s blade.

In an interview with IGN while promoting 28 years laterGarland confessed:

“It is the Malenia that is the hard. Now I am at my seventh game of that game. I have leveled, I have a lot of juice and a fantastic sword and things like that, and I only throw myself again, and again, and again and again.

“This was the technique I learned with” Dark Souls “. It is not that you are better, it is more similar to monkeys and writing machines.

Garland’s struggle with Malenia is hilariously recognizable. He is famous for having resumed health at any success he lands, even if he blocks, and his set of hyper-aggressive moves also makes the buildings more level. It took me an eternity to beat this character!

His second phase, in which he transforms into the goddess of rot, starts with a mortal AOE that can shoot if you are not already shooting in the opposite direction. And Garland? It is still blocked in the same masochistic cycle that the rest of us has fallen into … learning dying. Above and more.

But it’s not all the pain and panic rolls. Garland finds a silver coating in other bosses, such as Starscourge Radahn:

“Radahn is really easy. Evoces only a lot of guys, they break down half of his health and then continue to hit him.”

Which, of course, works in the basic game, but any fogged that has challenged the Shadow of the Erdree DLC knows that the strategy will not fly with the promised contenthn. This revenge is a full -blown resistance test without convocations, a brutal arena and attacks designed to break your spirit.

Whether you are a player for the first time or the director in charge of adapting Ring Elden For the big screen, the struggle is universal. Garland gets it, and it’s a good sign for the film.

Between his persistent trial playstyle and errors e George RR Martininvolvement as a manufacturer, the Ring Elden The adaptation could actually capture the spirit of the game, not only tradition, but the true emotional cycle of bankruptcy, perseverance and triumph. In other words … suffering.
