"Cower. Before Maliketh, the Black Blade."
A solo, melee only Rune Level 1 (RL1) fight against Beast Clergyman / Maliketh, the Black Blade with no upgrades, no auxiliary effects (bleed, frost, poison, scarlet rot etc), no weapon buffs and no hits. The entire fight is doable without Ashes of war like Bloodhound's step, but it helps here as an offensive tool to go behind him and punish during the blade of Death flurry, as well as escaping the stunning roar which cannot be reliably rolled if Maliketh does it while player is in his face since the hitbox lingers.

Overall a consistent and enjoyable fight, and despite being twice shorter than my Dragonlord kill it felt longer because of how much faster and intense the pace of the fight is. Beast Clergyman phase possesses a lot of mixups options for his combos and quick disengage hits, making it a very reaction heavy phase where stamina management is important - if you want to keep the pressure on, most of the phase must be played with one eye on your stamina bar and the other on the boss. Maliketh phase is a bit slower paced and less reaction intensive, the only things to really watch out for being his roar out of idle when the player is too close, and the overhead into flurry followup he can do after several melee combos which needs to be outspaced immediately if you don't have Bloodhound's step. He can also do weird memes with pillars or start an attack while looking in a wrong direction in p2 which changes the dodge timings completely (mostly with his double spin) but it's fortunately a somewhat rare occurence.
