Player Notes
- Any wand can be transmuted into the Cocoon Battledore using Murdiella Mal's Ashes, a Shimmering Pearl and 100.000 Salt.
- This boss can be cheesed with the right build. Every single attack she does is Holy; if you have the adequate stats to wield Ashen Effigy, every single attack will deal 0 damage while blocking. With patience and waiting for her to cast the arcane missle barrage to get a few attacks in, you can finish this fight with no problem.
- A noticed bug that happens is when you're blocking her three hit melee combo attack, if you press directly against her and block her first hit will make contact but the other two will act as if you're not there. (To be confirmed)
AnonymousDoesn't drop any Salt in NG. Make sure you fight her with very little or no Salt on you, so you don't waste anything if you die.

Used to be somewhat worth it in NG+ because she dropped salt then but now the devs patched it so she never drops any salt no matter what. Guess this boss just got obsolete, gonna just use her castle for farming and never see her again.

The Virgin dropping Salt and Money after defeat vs the Chad dropping 10 coins after defeat

Ok, just killed her and she dropped around 80.000 salt. Are you guys sure the 0 salt drop isn't a bug?

The 0 salt drop is in my opinion not a bug. Lore wise, this might indicates Murdiella Mal’s essence: She’s a true goddess rather than mortal saltborne. She is a lightborne, has no salt to drop. Unlike the Nameless, who wants born-of-light desperately but will never succeed.

I came here specifically because I thought the 0 salt thing was a bug.

She's a boss of a secret area of pearl farming. One of my favourite bosses of the entire game.

Her holy slash actually doesn't become the 3-hit combo in phase two. the 3-hit combo, while very similar, is actually a whole new attack gained in addition to everything else, as she's still capable of doing the original single hit slash and both have different startup animations

Lmao screw her 0 salt. At least there's a crypt keeper in the castle

If you have trouble dodging her homing missiles (the 5 little stars that she summons around her), watch her head closely. When she starts raising her head back, roll away from her (I'm assuming you are fast rolling) and cue a jump during the roll. This will make you jump immediately at the end of the roll. While mid-air, dash towards her. Retaliate.

Lol fighting her naked is so easy, her attacks are so slow when you're naked

Stay close to her and roll around her. That seemed to have worked because then her airstrike [basically] will just target the area you're in. Also a Greatsword and I think all elements chop her down to size. Blocking in this case isn't very handy...

you don't get salt and gold because you kill her only for the transumation item which it the Murdiella Mal's Ashes

I can confirm the blocking bug. although i kept blocking because I didn't want to die, my stamina did not decrease after the first hit.

Tested all elements,no difference in damage other than arcane wrecks her so badly she seems to stop teleporting and tries to corner you to death because she is so pissed.

I tested it out with Mildewed Set and Faithful Ring (Very high arcane DEF). I was taking 42 damage per projectile.(I also tested lightning since it says she's related to the sky. I also took a ton of damage, but I didn't record the damage number).I put on the Bloodbrow set and Clay Mask to get the highest holy DEF I could and I was taking around 31 damage per shot.Seeing as the projectiles are also white, I am going to assume it actually does Holy damage. I at least know for sure that she doesn't do arcane damage, or lightning.
