Competitive Landscape
Maliketh, the Black Blade, is an optional boss in Elden Ring, a notoriously difficult video game. To reach him, players must navigate through the Crumbling Farum Azula, a sprawling and treacherous area. One alternative for reaching Maliketh is to collect four Great Runes and light three towers. This method is more direct, but it requires significant exploration and boss fights.
Value Proposition
While the four Great Runes method is more direct, it is also more challenging and time-consuming. The alternate path, through the Caelid region, is longer but offers more opportunities for exploration and character development. Additionally, the Caelid path allows players to acquire the powerful Blasphemous Blade, a weapon that is particularly effective against Maliketh. Ultimately, the best method for reaching Maliketh depends on the player’s individual skill level and preferences.
