In order to do that though, Miquella would need to create something that could dispel the influence of an Outer God. After perfecting her skills with the blade, she ran off with her beloved brother who promised that he could cure her Scarlet Rot. Malenia honed her skills with a blade so much that she was an unstoppable force, even without a shield. She had always held a proficiency with a blade, and so she was taken on as an apprentice by a great swordsman, robed in blue who moved like water. Not wanting this to define her, however, she dedicated her life to the noble duty of defending her twin. She was born afflicted with Scarlet Rot, and so she was always a danger to herself and others. We don't know much about Malenia's early life, but the parts we do know are fraught with tragedy. It is very unlike From Software to miss a detail like this, causing some to speculate that Malenia still has to bloom once more. No 'Enemy Slain,' or 'Great Enemy Slain,' and most importantly, no 'God Slain' as we see with the Elden Beast.

The theory does have some credibility, because, upon defeating Malenia, we receive no after-battle message. People who subscribe to this theory will attribute the bloom outside of Malenia's room to one of Millicent's sisters.

Since we have no record of Malenia's first bloom, some players reject this idea. However, there is equal evidence that our fight with Malenia was only her second bloom, and she may not be truly dead. The logic for this theory is that Miquella tried to use an imperfect Gold Needle, and it forced her to bloom for the first time in that room, hence why it is unaccounted for since only Miquella and Malenia were there. Many think that the armor set here was hers before she was given the prosthetics by Miquella.

Many players will point to the giant Scarlet Flower found outside the elevator to Malenia's boss fight. That's two accounted for, but what of the third? We know she bloomed in our fight and during her fight against Radahn. The problem with this theory is we don't have much evidence for the first bloom. Her remembrance is also from 'The Rot Goddess' not 'Malenia'. First, and most obvious is that her name changes in phase two to Malenia, Goddess of Rot. There is evidence to suggest that Malenia bloomed for the third time during our fight and ascended to godhood right there in the boss room.
