A casual glance at the awe-inspiring presence of one of Elden Ring's most celebrated players, Let Me Solo Her, is enough to humble even the mightiest Tarnished. Yet, this legendary figure faced a daunting challenge with one of FromSoftware's most formidable adversaries, Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos.
Let Me Solo Her first rose to prominence in the Elden Ring community in April 2022, adopting the persona of a loincloth-clad, jar-headed messiah. He offered crucial assistance to countless players struggling with the game's notorious optional boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
By his own estimation, since then, he has dedicated over 1,200 hours and battled Malenia thousands of times. His relentless efforts have cemented his 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 that after finally acquiring a PS5 to participate in the Elden Ring Nightreign playtest, he was able to dive into the fan-favorite game Bloodborne. Despite being a seasoned FromSoft veteran, he encountered significant challenges with some of Bloodborne's most infamous boss encounters.
After adjusting to the drop in framerate — Elden Ring runs at 60 frames per second (fps), while Bloodborne operates at 30 fps — and immersing himself in the game's heavy atmosphere, Let Me Solo Her recounted his Bloodborne journey, including its DLC, starting with the initial defeat by the werewolf in the clinic, a common rite of passage for many players.
"Finally, I met the Orphan of Kos. Every Soulsborne game with a DLC always features that final boss who 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. And Orphan of Kos was that boss for Bloodborne.
"This boss required more attempts than any previous fights, pushing me to explore Chalice Dungeons off-stream to farm Blood Vials and bullets, just to replenish my supplies," Let Me Solo Her added (thanks, GamesRadar+). "He's definitely the hardest boss in Bloodborne for me."
