How to beat Malenia Blade of Miquella at Level 1 (no weapon upgrades) - Elden Ring Moveset Guide

This video was called "How literally ANYONE can beat Malenia" when I first made it, and while I think that title is accurate I changed it because I believe the moveset guide portion of the video is more interesting than the easy method. This is a guide on how to defeat Malenia, Blade of Miquella (Goddess of Rot) without getting hit! All my example clips are using a character that is level 1 with no weapon upgrades, but if you upgrade your weapons or level up you can still use this guide. The fight will just be easier for you.

At the beginning of this video I show off a method that "literally ANYONE" should be able to replicate if you want to just skip past this fight without actually fighting or learning anything about her moves.
The items that are requires for this easy method are:
Dagger with Assassin's Gambit
Claymore with Giant Hunt
Glintstone Staff (including sorceries: Freezing Mist, Unseen Form)
Finger Seal (including incantation: Poison Mist)
Olivinus Glintstone Crown
Any armor (or none, you won't take any hits)
Green Turtle Talisman
Stargazer Heirloom
Radagon's Soreseal
Marika's Soreseal
Volcano Pot

I learned this fight from a variety of sources but none were more helpful than this written guide by ‪@BigDBrian‬, it's basically a text version of this video. If you're really serious about learning this fight you should get your information from multiple sources, and this one's great!
