Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks

I’ve beaten every Soulsborne game aside Demon and Sekiro. But there is a point where my frustration overrides the fun I’m having.

Maliketh was pretty easy for me, but everyone struggles at different points.
If your still interested there is an item in Farum Azula (same place as Maliketh), that helps with the fight: Blasphemous Claw.
Maliketh has also pretty low Stance; heavy attacks and/or weapon arts can easily stance break him for a critical attack.
Or you could cheese him with Moghwyn‘s Sacred Spear and maybe the Mimic Tear, but that is probably overkill.
