Malformed Star | Elden Ring Wiki

I know everyone has been comparing Falling star beasts/Malformed Stars/Astel to lacewings and others within the same genus, and I generally concur, however I specifically think they are closest to lacewings, due to the immature stage looking much like the larvae of that species, although the “adult” looks more like a Dobsonfly.

They need to be added towards the gravity enemy type susceptibility

Didnt drop the somber 7 for me, i remember my last playthrough it did but not sure why it didnt drop it this time around, all i need is the 7 so i can get a +9 on my second run. maybe it doesnt drop if you arent doing rannis quest thats my guess

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GOD DAMN ASTELS

Submit

This is cool and all, but what are their defenses? Has anyone looked into that?

Submit

The ainsel river one is remarkably easy to kill (the one you get to in rannis questline)

Submit

The one in ainsel dropped somber 7 for me.

Submit

he doesn't drop a somber 7 ... fix ur stuff wiki

Submit

Is there a visual difference between these guys and Astel?

Submit

This isn't shaped like a dragonfly, because dragonflies (and damselflies, for that matter) cannot fold their wings across their back, instead keeping them either spread out or folded against their sides. Rather, it is more similar (in every regard) to an antlion lacewing, the adult stage of the antlion. Plus, the jaws/horns are suspiciously similar to the jaws of an antlion, so it just makes more sense for it to be an antlion lacewing.

Where does the description of this enemy come from?

Submit

These things aren't hard to kill, but ****, I hate being up close to them. Creepy, disturbing design

Submit

Malformed Star is an Astel creature that isn't full grown. Fallingstar beast and Fullgrown Fallingstar beast are NOT earlier stages of Astel like everyone is saying. They are from the same genus but a different species. All boss type creatures with mandibles are from outer space. They all use gravity and arrived by meteor.

Do these always drop Somber Smithing Stone [7]? I have defeated one Malformed Star from the Altus Tunnel side, which then wasn’t available via the Perfumer’s Grotto, and another at the Uhl Palace Ruins in the Ainsel River area. Neither one dropped a Stone [7]. FWLIW, I have taken down the Draconic Tree Sentinel, but have yet to earn entry into Leyndell, as I have only one Great Rune.

Submit

These can be poisoned and headshots deal extra damage

Submit

its just an astel clone tho... how is it a "star" These made up names man... it doesnt even glow. Just call it a "Natural born of the Void" or "Voidborn" or whatever.

Submit

Altus Tunnel link is broken, currently sends you to Atlus Tunnel.

Submit

Ayy Lmao confirmed

Submit

At 80 int killed 2 of these with 2-3 casts of night maiden's mist.

Submit

You have forgotten to mention the other Astel Stars of Darkness not putting spoilers here but js theres one other boss variant

Submit

I killed the one while in Atlus Tunnel, and it dropped an item, but of course I can't reach it. :(

Submit

Last night I was fighting him. I don’t know how much damage he had left and I used my Angel Wing special attack and hit him but flew off the ledge and died. When I returned, he was gone and I picked up my runes and there was 0. I rested at a POG and checked again, still gone and no runes.

Submit

Where's the name and description come from?

Submit

You can get really close to the one in Altus Tunnel by going through Perfumer's Grotto

Submit

Comet Azur works very well, because unlike other enemies these enemies don't move much

Submit

For the one in the Altus Tunnel, Bolt of Gransax weapon art works as well, only takes about 3 shots and he's gone!

Submit

I think these have a connection to the starbeasts in a way, a failed attempt that leaves them much more vulnerable which makes them prone to hiding. The base similarities being the black pincers, gravity magic and the name itself "Malformed star" so possibly a starbeast that didn't hatch correctly

Submit

Dobson Fly, not Dragonfly

Submit

I believe the Altus Tunnel and the Perfumer's Grotto one is the same one. 2 entrances to the same tunnel.
From the Altus side, melee can't reach the mob but might be able to shoot with a bow. I wasn't able to hit with Lightning Spear at that distance.

Submit

try kukri

Submit

Reminds me more of a caddisfly larvae than a dragonfly, with the stars placed like a cocoon.

Submit

Strike dmg +

Submit

the lesser great one

Submit

very bloodborney

Submit

There is also one in the perfumers grotto.

Submit

For the one in the river, you can melee its head. Get there by running up a toppled pillar and dashing along the cliff side in the east side of the room. I had a +15 claymore and the star died in 4-5 hits. Kind of a push over once you get there.

Submit

The one in the Ainsel River Main dropped a Somber Smithing Stone [7] when i killed it.

Submit

Doesn't respawn. Poison works well.

Submit

There's one not listed on this page in the Altus Tunnels. After the 2nd lift down, taking the first possible pathway on the right-hand side will lead to a large chamber where it can be found. When killed, it drops 5760 Runes.
