Even a brief look at the awe-inspiring prowess of one of Elden Ring's most celebrated players, Let Me Solo Her, is enough to humble even the mightiest Tarnished. However, this legend found himself challenged by 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, stepping into the role of a loincloth-wearing, jar-headed savior, assisting countless players in their battles against the notorious optional boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
By his own account, since that time, he has dedicated over 1,200 hours to the game and faced Malenia thousands of times. His dedication and skill 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 of finally acquiring a PS5 to participate in the Elden Ring Nightreign playtest, which also allowed him to dive into the fan-favorite game, Bloodborne. As a seasoned FromSoft player, he nonetheless encountered significant challenges with some of Bloodborne's toughest bosses.
After adjusting to the game's lower frame rate — Elden Ring runs at 60 frames per second (fps) while Bloodborne operates at 30 fps — the intense atmosphere, and the initial struggle against the werewolf in the clinic (a common experience for many players), Let Me Solo Her documented his entire Bloodborne journey, 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 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. And Orphan of Kos was that boss for Bloodborne."This boss required more attempts than any previous boss fight, and even led me to explore Chalice Dungeons to farm Blood Vials and bullets off stream, just to replenish my supplies," Let Me Solo Her added (thanks, GamesRadar+). "He's definitely the hardest boss in Bloodborne for me."
