How to unlock the Maliketh the Black Blade achievement in ELDEN RING - Definitive Guide
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.

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

I 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.

Location: Crumbling Farum Azula
Suggested Level Range: 90-100
Damage Types: Standard, Magic (Phase 1), Holy (Phase 2)
Weakest To: Standard, Slash, Strike, Pierce
Drops: 220,000 Runes, Remembrance of the Black Blade
This is a two stage fight. First, you will start off by fighting the Beast Clergyman. This part of the fight isn't too bad as his attacks aren't too hard to dodge, but once you reduce him to about 50% HP a cutscene will happen and you will face off against Maliketh the Black Blade, where the fight gets much tougher.
First, Maliketh's sword is infused with a dark energy that when it hits you, it will reduce your max HP and cause a DoT effect. Getting hit a couple of times by this--even if you survive the blows--will kill you. You can use the pillars to block the projectiles he uses, but do not stand too close to the pillars as the sword animations can still hit you from the other side. He moves very quickly around the arena so it is hard to get in more than 1 hit at a time. The one move he has that you can punish the most is when he swipes out in front of him then slams the sword into the ground. If you roll through the swipe and get behind him you can get a few good hits in before he is able to move again. You can also use the Blasphemous Claw item to parry Maliketh, when his sword glows gold is the cue to use the item.

The boss was found in the Broken Farum by Azula, access to which appears after talking with Melina at the “Forge of Giants” grace.
Passed with a bloodhound's fang at +10 and the ashes of a False Tear.
In the first phase, we simply dodge attacks and hit the boss on L2, when he attacks Tear, the second boss puts a curse on him, it’s better to hit after an attack with an explosion or during simple attacks with a sword, dodging at the boss.

From grace, on the right side there will be a mounted enemy and the boss himself, and on the left there is still space for exploration. So, if you go to the left of grace, you can find an item - a blasphemous claw
, which allows you to reflect the dark magic of Maliket. The item lies in the chest, in front of which Bernal invades our world.

Instead of False Tear, I would recommend using Luthel the Headless. Her main feature is that she teleports around the arena constantly and rarely gets hit by the boss. At the same time, it has both melee attacks and a throwing spear. She is much more tenacious than a mimic and acts more judiciously. It is necessary to upgrade to +10.
