A mere glimpse at the awe-inspiring presence of one of Elden Ring's most celebrated players, Let Me Solo Her, is enough to make even the mightiest Tarnished feel humbled. Yet, this legendary figure faced a daunting challenge when confronting one of FromSoftware's most notorious adversaries, Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos.
Let Me Solo Her first gained fame in the Elden Ring community in April 2022, stepping into the role of a loincloth-wearing, jar-headed savior. He provided crucial assistance to countless players struggling with the RPG's notorious optional boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
By his own account, he has since dedicated over 1,200 hours to the game and battled Malenia thousands of times. His dedication has cemented his legendary status within the Elden Ring community, leading FromSoftware to honor him with an actual sword in recognition of his efforts.
In a recent video, Let Me Solo Her shared that after finally acquiring a PS5 to participate in the Elden Ring Nightreign playtest, he ventured into the beloved Bloodborne. Even as a seasoned FromSoft player, he encountered significant challenges with some of Bloodborne's most notorious boss fights.
After adjusting to the game's lower frame rate—Elden Ring runs at 60 fps while Bloodborne operates at 30 fps—and the intense atmosphere, Let Me Solo Her recounted his initial struggle against the werewolf in the clinic, a common hurdle for many players. He then detailed his entire journey through Bloodborne, 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 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. Orphan of Kos was that boss for Bloodborne.
"This boss required more attempts than any previous boss fight, and I even found myself 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."
