The ultimate prizes for conquering Malenia are two-fold, representing both her divine lineage and her martial mastery.

Malenia's Great Rune
Unlike the corrupted, fragmented Great Runes of other demigods, Malenia's rune is a pure, if terrifying, reflection of her indomitable spirit. When activated at a Divine Tower Elden Ring Runes and equipped, its effect is deceptively simple yet profoundly powerful:it allows attacks to recover health after taking damage.

The genius of this rune lies in its aggression. In the seconds after you sustain a hit, your own successful strikes will return a portion of your missing health. This turns the tide of battle in a way no passive defense can. It rewards bold, relentless play, effectively allowing you to trade blows and come out ahead, provided you maintain the offensive. For melee builds, it is a game-changer, transforming near-death experiences into opportunities for triumphant reversal. It is the ultimate tool for those who believe the best defense is a overwhelming, self-sustaining offense.

The Remembrance of the Rot Goddess
This sacred relic, obtained from her corpse, can be taken to the enigmatic Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold. She offers a choice between two items that perfectly encapsulate the dual nature of Malenia's power:the sublime skill of the swordswoman and the terrifying curse of the Scarlet Rot.

Hand of Malenia:This is not merely a katana; it is a trophy, a symbol of having surpassed the undefeated. A successor to the Uchigatana and Nagakiba, the Hand of Malenia retains the excellent bleed buildup of its kin but carves its own identity with its unparalleled length and unique Skill, Waterfowl Dance.

Wielding this weapon is to channel the very move that has ended countless Tarnished ambitions. The Waterfowl Dance Skill sees your character leap into the air and unleash a flurry of slicing attacks before culminating in a devastating forward lunge. It is a spectacular, high-risk, high-reward ability that demands precise timing but can eviscerate both single targets and groups. For any dex-based build, this katana is a peak aspirational weapon, a constant reminder of the boss you felled with her own signature technique.

Scarlet Aeonia:For those who draw power from faith and arcane arts, this Incantation offers a different kind of power. Using it hurls you into the air before you crash down as a gigantic bloom of Scarlet Rot, dealing immense initial damage and building up the Rot status effect in a massive area-of-effect.

However, true to its source, the Scarlet Aeonia is a double-edged sword. The animation leaves you utterly vulnerable for a significant time after the bloom erupts. Yet, its strategic value is immense. Against large, slow bosses or in crowded areas, it can inflict the devastating Rot status, dealing percentage-based damage over time that can whittle down even the hardiest of foes. It is the power to wield the very plague that cursed Caelid, a destructive, beautiful, and terrifying force of nature.

Substantial Spoils:Runes and the Sacred Seed

Beyond these legendary treasures, Malenia provides more immediate, tangible rewards for her defeat.

A King's Ransom in Runes
Upon delivering the final blow, you are granted a staggering 480,000 Runes in New Game. This immense sum is enough to level up multiple times in the endgame or fully upgrade several pieces of equipment. It is a fitting monetary reward for an encounter that demands every resource and skill at your disposal, effectively bankrolling your final push toward the end of the game.

The Final Sacred Tear
Perhaps one of the most crucial, yet easily overlooked, drops is the Miquella's Haligtree Sacred Tear. Located just before her boss arena, this is the final Sacred Tear available in the game. Collecting it allows you to fully upgrade your Sacred Flasks to +12, maximizing the potency of your health or FP restoration. While not a direct drop from her corpse, it is an essential part of the spoils found within her domain, a necessary power-up for the climactic battles that await.
The Unwritten Reward:Mastery and Legacy

To speak only of the tangible loot is to tell only half the story. The greatest reward for defeating Malenia is intangible. It is the mastery of the game's mechanics pushed to their absolute limit. It is the muscle memory forged in countless deaths, the patience learned from observing her every fluid motion, and the triumphant exhilaration of finally seeing "GOD SLAIN" emblazoned across the screen.

Her defeat is a rite of passage. It proves that you, the Tarnished, have evolved from a struggling survivor into a true Lord. The loot she drops-the Great Rune that encourages aggression, the sword that mimics her deadliest art, the incantation that unleashes her curse-are not just tools. They are the physical manifestations of that victory, allowing you to carry a piece of her legendary power Elden Ring Items and your own hard-earned skill into the rest of your journey, forever marking you as one who faced the Blade of Miquella and lived to tell the tale.
