Even a casual glance at the imposing figure of one of Elden Ring's most celebrated players, Let Me Solo Her, is enough to humble even the mightiest Tarnished. However, even this seasoned gamer found himself tested by one of FromSoftware's most daunting adversaries, Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos.
Let Me Solo Her first gained recognition within the Elden Ring community in April 2022, stepping into the role of a loincloth-clad, jar-headed savior, offering crucial assistance to countless players battling the game's infamous optional boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
According to his own account, since then he has logged over 1,200 hours and faced Malenia numerous times. His perseverance earned him legendary status among Elden Ring players, culminating in FromSoftware presenting him with an actual sword in acknowledgment of his dedication.
In a recent video, Let Me Solo Her recounted his transition from Elden Ring to Bloodborne, which came after finally acquiring a PS5 to participate in the Elden Ring Nightreign playtest. Even for a veteran of FromSoftware games, Bloodborne presented its own set of challenges.
After adjusting to the difference in frame rates—Elden Ring runs at 60 fps while Bloodborne operates at 30 fps—and acclimating to the game's oppressive atmosphere, Let Me Solo Her walked viewers through his Bloodborne journey, including its expansions.
"Finally, I encountered the Orphan of Kos," he stated. "Every Soulsborne game with DLC features that ultimate boss who feels nearly unbeatable. We had Promised Consort Radahn for Elden Ring, Slave Knight Gael for Dark Souls III, and Manus, Father of the Abyss for Dark Souls. For Bloodborne, it was the Orphan of Kos.""This boss required more attempts than any other fight I've faced, driving me to explore Chalice Dungeons to stockpile Blood Vials and bullets," Let Me Solo Her noted (via GamesRadar+). "To me, he’s the toughest boss in Bloodborne."
