A mere glimpse at the awe-inspiring presence of Elden Ring's renowned player, Let Me Solo Her, is enough to humble even the mightiest Tarnished. However, even this seasoned warrior faced challenges with 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 attire of a loincloth and jar-headed messiah, stepping in to assist countless players struggling against the notorious optional boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
By his own estimation, since then, he has dedicated over 1,200 hours to the game and confronted Malenia thousands of times. His dedication earned him legendary status within the Elden Ring community, culminating in FromSoftware sending him an actual sword in recognition of his contributions.
In a recent video, Let Me Solo Her shared his experience of finally purchasing a PS5 to access the Elden Ring Nightreign playtest, which allowed him to dive into the fan-favorite Bloodborne. Despite his extensive experience with FromSoft games, he encountered significant challenges with some of Bloodborne's most notorious boss encounters.
After adjusting to the game's 30 fps framerate, compared to Elden Ring's 60 fps, and navigating the heavy atmosphere and initial defeat by the clinic's werewolf—a common experience for many players—Let Me Solo Her chronicled his entire journey through Bloodborne, including its DLC.
"Finally, I met the Orphan of Kos. Every Soulsborne game that has a DLC always features that final boss who feels overwhelmingly powerful," he recounted. "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 attempts 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 added (thanks, GamesRadar+). "He's definitely the hardest boss in Bloodborne for me."
