A mere glimpse at the awe-inspiring presence of one of Elden Ring's most celebrated players, Let Me Solo Her, is enough to instill humility in even the mightiest Tarnished. However, even this seasoned warrior found himself challenged by one of FromSoftware's most daunting adversaries, Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos.
Let Me Solo Her first rose to prominence in the Elden Ring community in April 2022, when he donned the iconic guise of a loincloth-clad, jar-headed messiah. He offered invaluable assistance to numerous players struggling with the game's notorious optional boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
By his own estimation, he has since logged over 1,200 hours and faced Malenia thousands of times. His dedication has cemented his legendary status within the Elden Ring community, culminating in FromSoftware sending him an actual sword as a token of appreciation.
In a recent video, Let Me Solo Her shared his experience of finally succumbing to the allure of a PS5 to participate in the Elden Ring Nightreign playtest. This allowed him to delve into the fan-favorite Bloodborne, where even a FromSoft veteran like him encountered difficulties with some of the game's most notorious boss fights.
After adjusting to the reduced framerate—Elden Ring operates at 60 frames per second (fps), while Bloodborne runs at 30 fps—and the game's intense atmosphere, and surviving the initial encounter with the clinic werewolf (a common rite of passage), Let Me Solo Her documented his entire Bloodborne journey, including the DLC.
"Finally, I met the Orphan of Kos. Every Soulsborne game with a DLC has that final boss who feels overwhelmingly powerful," he remarked. "We had Promised Consort Radahn for Elden Ring, Slave Knight Gael for Dark Souls 3, and Manus, Father of the Abyss for Dark Souls 1. And Orphan of Kos was that boss for Bloodborne.
"This boss required more attempts than any previous fight, and even drove me to explore Chalice Dungeons off-stream to farm Blood Vials and bullets just to replenish my supplies," Let Me Solo Her noted (thanks, GamesRadar+). "He's definitely the hardest boss in Bloodborne for me."
