Decided to not subject myself to 100 more tries at Malenia, so left her to be invincible and pretty much wandered through the two fights prior to Elden Beast. Bit stuck on them at the moment but I'm confident I'll get there eventually. NG+ I think I'll go a full melee build to change it up (I'm a full INT long-range cast build currently). What a game though. Can you imagine the kinds of stuff they'll do with the DLC for this thing?
