Even a casual glance at the awe-inspiring presence of one of Elden Ring's most renowned players, Let Me Solo Her, can humble even the strongest Tarnished. Yet, even this seasoned warrior found himself challenged by one of FromSoftware's most formidable adversaries, Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos.
Let Me Solo Her first rose to prominence within the Elden Ring community in April 2022, when he donned the persona of a loincloth-clad, jar-headed messiah, offering vital assistance to countless players struggling with the game's most notorious optional boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
By his own estimation, he has since logged over 1,200 hours and battled Malenia thousands of times. His dedication and skill have cemented his legendary status in 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 that after finally acquiring a PS5 to participate in the Elden Ring Nightreign playtest, he was able to dive into the fan-favorite Bloodborne. As a FromSoft veteran, he still encountered significant challenges with some of Bloodborne's most notorious boss encounters.
After adjusting to the drop in framerate — Elden Ring runs at 60 frames per second (fps), while Bloodborne is capped at 30 fps — and the game's intense atmosphere, and even succumbing to the werewolf in the clinic (a common rite of passage 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 with a DLC has that one 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. The Orphan of Kos was that boss for Bloodborne."This boss required more attempts than any I've faced before, and even drove me to explore Chalice Dungeons off-stream to farm Blood Vials and bullets for replenishment," Let Me Solo Her explained (thanks, GamesRadar+). "He's definitely the hardest boss in Bloodborne for me."
