About this mod
This mod makes Malenia much more unfamiliar, faster, and harder with new/unused moves, reworked AI, new attack chains, more frame traps and panic penalties, new ultimate attacks, etc., and removes many of her AI weaknesses, making the vanilla experience largely useless and making even an experienced player learn this boss almost from scratch.

I think that many experienced players would agree that vanilla Malenia loses most of its difficulty after the first confident defeat after a detailed study of the boss and her weaknesses, knowledge and experience (or guides) greatly simplify the fight with her and make it boring, which makes the feeling of true horror remain only on the first passage of this boss. So this mod is designed to bring back that first experience feeling by removing her of many vanilla weaknesses, changing the rules of combat with her, ways to dodge attacks, windows for attacks, blind spots, etc. You'll have to deal with all of this as you did on the first playthrough. I would say that this boss has always been passed by clear and deliberate actions with a minimum of mistakes especially regarding ultimates, I like that concept so I kept it by making many puzzle attacks.
Basic moveset was also complicated in terms of new variations of attacks and follow-ups, supplemented by many subtleties to be discovered, as well as accelerated to implement the window to attack the player had to quickly make the right decisions.
In this regard, the first phase will teach the player to adapt to the basic moveset, just as in vanilla. The player will have time to think before approaching and starting a fight, in the second phase there will be no time to think and the fight can be over in one second.
Every move has been precisely calibrated and balanced and does not require special evasion tools (such as lightrolls/bhs or shields), but does require wit and precision.
Also the mod includes a slight increase in damage, health and changed resistance to status effects, elemental damage and various types of physical damage of Malenia.
WARNING: this mod is made for the most part for skilled players and challenge runners. Vanilla experience fighting her and knowledge of small details may not help much against this version, but it is still needed, otherwise you just won't simply hit her.
