A casual glance at the awe-inspiring presence of Elden Ring's renowned player, Let Me Solo Her, can humble even the mightiest Tarnished. Yet, this formidable player encountered significant challenges when facing one of FromSoftware's most daunting adversaries, Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos.
Let Me Solo Her first gained fame within the Elden Ring community in April 2022, emerging as a loincloth-clad, jar-headed savior. He provided essential assistance to numerous players struggling against the game's notorious optional boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
By his own account, since that time, he has dedicated over 1,200 hours to the game, confronting Malenia thousands of times. His relentless efforts have cemented his legendary status within the Elden Ring community, culminating in FromSoftware honoring him with an actual sword as a tribute to 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. This allowed him to dive into the beloved Bloodborne. As a seasoned FromSoft player, he still faced significant hurdles with some of Bloodborne's most challenging boss encounters.
Adjusting to the game's reduced frame rate—Elden Ring boasts 60 frames per second (fps), while Bloodborne runs at 30 fps—along with its intense atmosphere, and the initial defeat by the clinic's werewolf (a common rite of passage for players), Let Me Solo Her documented his entire journey through Bloodborne, including its DLC.
"Finally, I met the Orphan of Kos. Every Soulsborne game with a DLC features a final boss that feels overwhelmingly powerful," he remarked. "We had Promised Consort Radahn in Elden Ring, Slave Knight Gael in Dark Souls 3, and Manus, Father of the Abyss in 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 for replenishment," Let Me Solo Her continued (thanks, GamesRadar+). "He's definitely the hardest boss in Bloodborne for me."
