I'm wondering if Malenia was nerfed in the patch under "other enemy balance changes." I saw some people on Reddit comment that apparently her Waterfowl Dance does less damage now, and is actually survivable? Haven't tested myself, but for those who are attempting, I'd be curious to know.

Of course, this doesn't fundamentally change the fight IMO, which is still stupidly hard even if you nerf Waterfowl Dance.

Didn't try before the patch but getting caught by one flurry string would still easily kill me at 40 vigor and RL ~130-5. The Mimic Tear can tank it and survive although she gets healed so much it's basically a wash. Still not sure how to deal with it besides crazy precision dodging.

I'm probably way underleveled but I have no idea what people are trying at. Damage gets scaled a lot with defense (which for players is tied to level) so that's part of it. Also means reports are skewed if people are doing comparisons before and after they leveled up a bunch.

(also notably I have not started burning rune arcs on that fight yet, which might also make a difference since Godrick's adds 40 levels)

edit: post below reminded me I'm also wearing the best phys reduction talisman as well as the +5 int one and +3 hat which I think bumps my effective level up more
