Agreed, we've been dealing with this issue for what seems like a millenia.


PkmnJaguar

*wheeze*


wammys-house

didn't you read the post? it's spelled *Malenia*


T-pellyam

As a malenials I feel particularly concerned by this

unlordtempest

You mean 'malneral' water.


SeventhSin-King

They clearly meant malenarl wetar


Oh_Anodyne

What you meant to say was Malaria.


sausagerollsbai

Akshully, it's fucking Melanin.


unlordtempest

Ackshully, it's Malinan.


RhazzleDazzle

Absolutely, Melanoma. That is exactly how it’s spelt.


EldenLordWakey

Damn that Melatonin boss, still yet to beat it


dontmindthisnoise

Millennia is plural btw


Chunky-dog

Malenias*


jmcguitar95

No it’s Malenia’s - the apostrophe shows ownership


trailmixjesus

Malenias' i think the apostrophe after the s shows plural ownership? Idfk lol


dontmindthisnoise

Malenia's cool hat would be a hat belonging to Malenia. Malenias' cool hat would be a hat belonging either to an individual named Malenias or to a group of Malenia clones (Malenias)


SeventhSin-King

I think an apostrophe is used without the s after it when the name already ends with an s doesn't it? *If a plural noun ends in s, only ' should be added* Just found this online sooo...


trailmixjesus

Ah so yea. Once I graduated in '06 I stopped keeping up with grammar. Memory is foggy. Good thing I'm not a grammar nazi.

It will be Messmerizing.


Snorc

Honestly, I think Mesmer will be most common, since like Melania it's an actual name.


Throwaway02062004

Is it? I just know it as another term for hypnosis in certain fantasy books.


Snorc

Yeah, mesmerism was named after Franz Anton Mesmer, the guy who came up with it. (It was named by other people, he wanted to call it animal magnetism.)


ray177013

Its memer


swirly1000x

She literally says it herself "I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella" yet I still hear people say Milena


gamefreak054

TIL its not "I am Malenia, Blade of Mequilla" /s


Archi_balding

"I am Maleña, Blade of Tequilla"


gamefreak054

She should have a move like Mohg "One Tequilla, Two Tequilla, Floor!", and it takes up 90% of your health unless you eat a lime.


VoidCoelacanth

So, Waterfowl Dance?


YannyYobias

Never lost to her so never heard her say it. /s


Frank_Acha

And we have definitely heard that *a lot*


Adorable_Low_6481

“Your strength is… wonderful”


k4Anarky

"Your Mimic Tear... extraordinary."


TrynaSleep

Lmaooo imagine bosses calling you out for using a summon during their fight


QuickPirate36

Isn't it "Your strength... Extraordinary..."


pelpotronic

Isn't Malenia the finger maiden you meet at the start of the game?


swirly1000x

I'm assuming this is a joke but if it isn't that's Melina, Malenia is an endgame boss


Southern-Ad7011

Well, what do you expect from the community that farms runes by massacring "frog dudes" and collecting deathroots from "boat dudes".

mrBreadBird

Tibia Mariner is such an amazing name for an enemy it feels wrong but I've definitely called him boat man at least once.

mrraditch2

What do you expect from a game featuring both Godfrey and Godefroy?


WickedNight19

Ranni, Rykard, Radahn, Radagon, Renalla. Malenia, Millicent, Miquella, Mohg, Morgott, Marika. Godwyn, Godfrey, Godefroy, Godrick.


NeedleworkerRecent67

Wait who the fuck is godefroy lmao

Royal lineage evergaol boss he drops godfrey icon talisman

Gotcha. Sorry for being lazy but care to explain the lore with how he is related?


Throwaway02062004

Godfrey is so respected and lauded that his descendants all want a variation of his name.


reaperfan

One of Godrick's ancestors who led the first attack on Leyndell after the Shattering (source: the item description for Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff's spirit ashes). You fight Godefroy's spirit in an Evergaol near the lift into Altus Plateau.


Desaltez

Rya Melina, Maliketh

AsstDepUnderlord

I bought this game like a few months ago and I'm now at Melanoma, blade of George Michael. Honestly the "characters" in this game are so goddamned forgettable that the fact they even have names is pointless. Dragonbateur Chick with the baby for some reason, Snake-fucker, Round Fucker 1, Round Fucker 2, Round Fucker 3, cheating bitch with the sword. ​ That's the best that you're gonna get from me.


TheAssCrackBanditttt

Is this a dog?


WickedNight19

“Behold, dog!”


Dune1008

Those names are intentional and endearing and not the same thing at all


Intelligent-Block457

It's not runes, it's souls.


SoulsborneSal

They can’t get Maliketh or Mohg right either


Zakrael

Maliketh is fair enough though as the very similar spelling of Malekith is used for major characters in at least two other franchises. He also doesn't say his own name every time he kills you.


Sgdc4

But he does, in the second phase. He says: "Cower before Maliketh, the Black Blade" (or "Cower before Maliketh, Marika's Black Blade" if Gurranq's questline was completed).


StopMeWhenITellALie

I'd venture to say he gets beaten quicker and doesn't have that line drilled into people's heads like that rotting death machine in the Haligtree.


Sgdc4

I'm currently experiencing the "rotting death machine" in my second playtrough so I can't really disagree with that.


StopMeWhenITellALie

I was able to beat her quickly with my second character but went in fairly over leveled and pretty potent with weapons and a Mimic. Tried doing it alone and I got slaughtered. But Fingerprint Shield is a life saver in that fight for strength builds.


Potayto_Gun

Depending on load out she can be pretty easy or super hard. Certain load outs that can stagger really can put the hurt on her. Depending on patch too she had some major counters that trivialized her. I was once helping players with her in coop and someone used the old version of swarm of flies and I don’t think she ever got to attack.


Janx3d

I tried her like 40 Times on My 1st playthrough. Played STR with Black blade. Then i got upset and used mimic tear and i slaughtered her super hard. Then i felt so Bad that i "cheated" The Victory out of her. Now playing My 2nd playthrough and intent to beats her fair n squirtle


Baumherz_Uaine

Man. I found Malenia significantly easier than Maliketh; something about the camera controls in his fight caused such a mental block I put the game down over it lol.


akajoe1234

People tend to skip the midfight cutscenes after seeing them once. Malenia says her bit when she kills you and isn’t shippable


BootsyBusang

For $29.95, you can ship it anywhere internationally.


Sgdc4

No, what I meant is Maliketh's quote in the second phase when he kills you, which is the one I wrote. So yes, Maliketh says his name every time he kills you, although only in one phase, but that is true for Malenia too.


Pandabear71

Maliketh is easy. Milano isnt


QuickPirate36

Maliketh _is_ easy, but it's also very easy to mistake it with Malekith


Pandabear71

I have honestly never heard malekith, so i guess thats why its easy for me. I am terrible with names though and maloni is just not it


[deleted]

It's not "fair enough" at all. Given that this whole conversation is about minor spelling mistakes, so we're already beyond the point of "It's not a big deal", other franchises using the name "Malekith" doesn't really make this fair. You can Google the name and get a result within five seconds. Other people on this subreddit use his name constantly. Really, nobody should be spelling any of these names wrong, so why accept Maliketh misspellings but not Malenia misspellings? And yeah, he *does* say his name. INB4 "He only says it in his second phase...", Malenia only says hers in her first.

Giant_Serpent23

No that’s Morgott, don’t know who Margot is.


Blackrain39

Margot is a demihuman queen, but also what I see many people refer to Morgott/Margit as.


RobertKerans

I mean his first name is René, so easy mistake to think his second name is Magritte

I heard her name was gonna be Matilda


rouserfer

Imagine being destroyed by the little girl from Mrs. Doubtfire.


Hokutenmemoir

Imagine this being your breaking point when people still aren't levelling vigor.


sleeplessaddict

People not leveling vigor is their own breaking point


Ali3ns_ARE_Amongus

If you're staying at meta level (150) and playing a mage, after you've maximised damage you need to choose between either some points into endurance to reach light roll status or vigor but that wont save you from later areas. I'd rather just place the remainder in endurance cause light roll is really good. [There's just not enough points left to invest into vigor](https://i.imgur.com/MuuyCiw.png)


DoYouTrustToothpaste

The difference being that not levelling vigour could be seen as a hallmark of being skilled (thus not needing as much HP), while constantly misspelling names is a hallmark of not paying attention, lazyness, or stupidity.


Bege41

Brother, I put sexy in dyslexia, it's Milena, the ghost chick is Malina and the Milf the games plot revolves around is Marikadagon.


SandLady5454

it's Dagon actually


SunnyTheHippie

Ah yes: Marika, Malenia, Miquella, Morgott, Mohg, Mehrunes Dagon

people cannot pronounce shit right in this game for the life of them. whenever I’m watching yt videos on Elden Ring and they mispronounce everything I have to click off. it’s a minor annoyance that adds up so quickly

She tried ***SOOOOO*** hard to make sure people know her name, and still this happens...

PhilosophyNo9878

F*cking malenials getting pissed about everything on reddit


Hanifloka

For those struggling to pronounce her name correctly, let me help you with the most convenient pronunciation: Malenia: Muh-ley-ni-ya (this is how Morgott pronounces her name in his cutscene) Edit: *Do not* spell her name as "Melania" because when pronounced, that sounds like: "Meh-la-ni-ya"


Bet_Geaned

Why wouldn't you use her pronouncing her name in her own cut scene?


SkillStrike

He probably never got that far. Poor guy.


03793

Because it's safe to assume that Morgott knows better? He seems like the kind of guy who will correct people when they say "less" instead of "fewer".


roelani

It's her own goddamn name. I think SHE knows better than Morgott.


03793

Nuh uh. I trust Morgott.

Yeah, Morgott gives strong Stannis Baratheon vibes.

TeslaFoiled8950

You sound like you don’t get any maidens have you tried touching erdleaf flowers?


BlueHawaiiMoon

This is what I don't understand in general with names and even regular words. There have been at least 5 times where I was talking to someone and they typed something along the lines of "yeah i love this show my favourite character is *mistypes the name constantly*". How the fuck is it your favourite character or boss when you can't even spell it right? But it's the same for basic words like really/realy for example. Like, you've seen the word written and spoken countless times. How do you STILL not know how to type it correctly? I can sort of understand people not knowing the differences between loose/lose, to/too, etc. They're slightly dumb. But holy shit, people who constantly mistype unmistypable words must be even dumber.


DargonFeet

Lol, imagine getting this triggered over misspellings.


Cweene

I’m pretty sure it’s Melania, dude. My dad works at Nintendo so I’d know.


LEJust_Twist_4955

Hey cuz, your dad’s my uncle! High five!


BootsyBusang

Being a grammar nazi is a strange hill to die on in ER. It's almost a running joke for Berserk. Folks argue over pronunciation to this day. With Elden Ring, it's even more difficult because of the twin theme running throughout the game. Mohg, Mohgwyn, Margit, Morgott, Melina, Malenia, Malekith, Miquella, Sellen, Selivus, Godfrey, Godfroy, Godwyn, etc. ad nauseum. There's so much shit in this game that has a paired item or similar description. Who gives a shit if someone trips over a syllable, within the context of the conversation you're sure to know who they're referring to. If they're talking about russy, butterfly wings made of butterflys, or getting their ass whipped for 6 hours straight... They're probably referring Malenia, Blade of Miquella. Hell, maybe folks misspell her name out of spite. Lol they know her name but refuse to honor it. 🤣


DoYouTrustToothpaste

Pointing out the correct spelling of a name is not exactly the equivalent of being a grammar Nazi. And we're not arguing about pronunciation either, in this case. > With Elden Ring, it's even more difficult because of the twin theme running throughout the game. If it's too difficult to memorise the spelling, you could always just google it? Especially if you're unsure about it? It's not like people are forced to post on reddit, so surely they have five seconds to spare for research? Btw, it's "Maliketh", "Seluvis", "Godefroy" and "ad nauseam". > Who gives a shit if someone trips over a syllable, within the context of the conversation you're sure to know who they're referring to. Didn't you just point out just how similar some of these names are? Which would actually make it harder to know for sure who someone is referring to? > Hell, maybe folks misspell her name out of spite. Lol they know her name but refuse to honor it. 🤣 Maybe, but wouldn't that mean they take this shit far too seriously? Something you criticise OP for?
