Even a casual glance at the awe-inspiring presence of one of Elden Ring's most renowned players, Let Me Solo Her, is enough to humble even the strongest Tarnished. Yet, this legend faced a formidable challenge with one of FromSoftware's toughest adversaries, Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos.
Let Me Solo Her first gained fame in the Elden Ring community in April 2022, when he donned the guise of a loincloth-clad, jar-headed savior, offering crucial assistance to the many players struggling with the RPG's notorious optional boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
By his own account, he has since logged over 1,200 hours and battled Malenia thousands of times. These efforts have cemented his legendary status within the Elden Ring community, earning him the honor of receiving an actual sword from FromSoftware in recognition of his contributions.
In a recent video, Let Me Solo Her shared his experience after finally acquiring a PS5 to participate in the Elden Ring Nightreign playtest, which allowed him to dive into the fan-favorite Bloodborne. Despite being a seasoned FromSoft player, he encountered significant challenges with some of Bloodborne's most notorious boss fights.
Adjusting to the transition from Elden Ring's 60 frames per second to Bloodborne's 30 fps, along with the game's heavy atmosphere, Let Me Solo Her recounted his initial struggles, including his defeat by the clinic's werewolf—a common rite of passage for many players. He then detailed his entire Bloodborne journey, including the DLC.
"Finally, I met the Orphan of Kos. Every Soulsborne game with a DLC has that final boss that feels overwhelmingly powerful," he explained. "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. Orphan of Kos was that boss for Bloodborne."This boss required more attempts than any previous fight, and even led me to explore Chalice Dungeons off stream to farm Blood Vials and bullets just to replenish my supplies," Let Me Solo Her added (thanks, GamesRadar+). "He's definitely the hardest boss in Bloodborne for me."
