Anonymous.....i know how to beat malefor...hes easy....before you face him make sure that you have all of your mana up....forst scene..turn into cynder and use your fear on him.....fly right next to him and keep trying to get be hind him...this will take a few tryies.....second scene.. still be cynder and still try to stay be hind him...when he uses his purple ball that follow you fly around this way and that so that you dodge them..when he uses the ice thing you will she that he leans forward when he does fly behind him and attack...the ice will miss. last form is easy....he will have a dome around himself....still stay behind him and continue to hit him...you will notice that your fury bar will be full...use it and it for good....

whats there left, ive repeated this scene at least 30 times , malefor is too hard , with his stupid following purple missiles and his ice missiles that break into smaller ones and kill you , i mean how are you supposed to dodge something that is coming straight for you and follows where you go!!

Well, I said it was the best way to do it. I didn't say it would work! Evading is the fastest way!
