    Seeing as no one has posted anything yet I thought I’d try. Maliketh is the final boss of Crumbling Farum Azula and you must defeat him to progress to the ending. He has two phases, the first one is the beast clergyman that throws out all the Beast incantations and dagger swipes that can be dodged fairly easily. Play around and use the Pillars. The second phase is where it gets hard, Maliketh is EXTREMELY mobile. He has a 5 hit combo where he throws out 3 ranged slashes and goes in for 2 sword strikes, watch out for this as it can kill very easily. Also be carefully when he puts his sword in the ground as he does AOE attacks that hit anyone to close, even if you think you’re safe. Some of his attacks that hit you will burn you over time. Again, use the pillars for cover. For damage I suggest either using the bloody slash art of war or hoarfrost on fast hitting weapons like katanas. PLEASE USE THE MIMIC +10, you’re mimic has much more health than you or any online player and will spam your ash of war. Good luck.

    Thief000I think it's important to note that defeating him will turn Leyndell to ash and potentially lock you out of some loot, most notably the Bolt of Gransax, which is required for the Legendary Armaments achievement.

    HieronimusI struggled a lot with this boss but when I started using Flame of the Redmanes he was toast in no time. Totally OP.

    LoHiT0709Flame of the Redmanes has gotten even better since patch 1.07 so I second this strategy.
    Pairing this with Black Knife Tiche and he's practically dead before his second phase.

    Zohan2099Flame of the Redmanes was significantly nerfed in patch 1.08, makes that method a bit more difficult.
