Melek

Melek is a character, appearing in Infinity Blade III.

Description[]

Melek is a Deathless with the title Warlord of House Ix. Rather than traditional plate-like armor, the underlying gold layer appears to cover his entire body, being reinforced by a large, black pauldron on his left shoulder and a toga-like armor set, seemingly made of the same material as the pauldron. His mask features tentacle-like horns facing outwards from his face.

History[]

Warning: Spoilers/plot details follow.

Infinity Blade III[]

During Infinity Blade III, Melek confronts Siris at the stone tablet in the Tower. He recognizes Siris as Ausar, and welcomes him back to the Tower before fighting him, ultimately dying. His dialogue before the fight indicates that he believes he can redeem Ausar, or make him join the Worker of Secrets. He is first fought at level 75.

Gameplay[]

Melek is a boss titan, complete with Spectrum defense, higher than normal chance to possess a titan perk and the ability to send the player back to the Hideout if they are defeated.

Compared to most other bosses, Melek is by no means tricky at all to fight. He always fights with a fixed standard attacking speed regardless of level and has only two unique moves: an upwards knee kick and a sweeping downwards chop with both swords. Two of Melek's fury chains borrow from the Kuro Shino titan and his third one borrows from the Archivist in Infinity Blade 2 and the Horned Shaman.

Trivia[]

He seems to know Ausar personally, judging by his conversation with Siris. This may imply that him and Ausar were allies or enemies at some point.
Losing to Melek triggers unique death taunts from him, shouting lines such as "Feeble mark!" and "Embrace death!".
- His combat voice is later reused by Varun in the Kingdom Come update.
In his intro cutscene, he throws down a random dual weapon, but is always holding Sinkhook in his other hand.
"Melek" is the Turkish word for "Angel".
His file name is "SquidFace", clearly referencing his unusual helmet.
After the player kills Melek with Siris in Act IV, A Link to the Past, Siris' profile will show him wielding the Infinity Blade that Raidriar used in the tutorial.^{[verification needed]}
