A mere glimpse at the awe-inspiring presence of one of Elden Ring's most celebrated players, Let Me Solo Her, can humble even the mightiest Tarnished. Yet, this legend faced a formidable challenge when confronting Bloodborne's notorious adversary, the Orphan of Kos.
Let Me Solo Her first gained recognition in the Elden Ring community in April 2022, donning the iconic guise of a loincloth-clad, jar-headed savior. His mission was to assist the numerous players struggling with the game's most infamous optional boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella. By his own estimation, he has since logged over 1,200 hours and faced Malenia thousands of times, earning him a legendary status within the community. His dedication was so profound that FromSoftware honored him with an actual sword in recognition of his contributions.
In a recent video, Let Me Solo Her shared his experience transitioning to a PS5 to participate in the Elden Ring Nightreign playtest, which also allowed him to dive into the beloved Bloodborne. Despite his extensive experience with FromSoftware games, he found some of Bloodborne's toughest bosses to be a significant challenge.
Adjusting to Bloodborne's 30 frames per second after playing Elden Ring at 60 fps, and navigating the game's intense atmosphere, Let Me Solo Her recounted his journey through Bloodborne, including its DLC. He detailed his encounters in a video, culminating in his battle with the Orphan of Kos.
"Finally, I met the Orphan of Kos. Every Soulsborne game that has a DLC always has that final boss where they feel so 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 took me more tries than any previous boss fights, and even had me exploring Chalice Dungeons to farm Blood Vials and bullets off stream, just to replenish them," Let Me Solo Her explained (thanks, GamesRadar+). "He's definitely the hardest boss in Bloodborne for me."
