Never played Bloodborne, but she has lifedrain on her sword and it's fucking broken. Even if you shield up and receive 0 damage, she will recover like a quarter or more just for swinging her sword against a literal plank of wood. It just makes me recall all the people saying shit like "Margit's ninja spazzing teaches you to alternate between dodging, shielding and guard countering" they're full of shit and they make me angry just to know they're out there practicing the egoraptor school of game criticism.

Also I think you get the shit ending if you don't defeat Malenia. I mean, my heart of hearts tell me that if I don't defeat the lady behind the space flu, maybe they can't live happily ever after.
I keep forgetting that shields are supposed to be good again in this game, I'm so used to playing without them (except a buckler for parrying) that I've probably made the game significantly harder on myself. I wonder if I should pick one up- I don't even really understand what guard countering is.
It's just pressing R2 after blocking. It's surprisingly easy to execute but it's also fairly circumstantial, enemies can easily hit you while you're performing your cool counter technique especially with heavy weapons
