Elden Ring Pro single-handedly kills Malenia for you and is a living co-op legend

Let Me Solo Her goes into battle against the merciless boss Malenia with nothing but a great helm and two katanas.

Many Elden Ring fans cite Malenia as the game’s most difficult boss, owing to her devastating combos and ruthless second phase. But there is a glimmer of hope on the murky horizon of the in-between, and that glimmer of hope calls itself “let me solo her,” carrying only a pot on her head and single-handedly bludgeoning Malenia down for desperate tainted. This is his story.

How a pot-head became the most famous Elden Ring player of the moment

Let me solo her (LMSH for short) on Reddit KleinTsuboiOW is, in co-op, Elden Ring fans help out with the optional boss Malenia by placing his call sign in front of the badass opponent’s arena, waiting to be summoned.

The special feature: As the name of the brave warrior already suggests, he fights alone, so his hosts only have to lean back to watch the spectacle. LMSH has already helped a number of players in this way and, as the video below shows, he shouldn’t have had any major problems most of the time.

Skillful dodging and well-timed attacks make combat seem ridiculously easy. This is all the more impressive when we consider that bosses get even more life points in co-op.

His gear? LMSH wears no armor except for a great helm, so is naked. He also swings two katanas (Rivers of Blood+9 on the left and the Cold Uchigatana+25 on the right). His talismans include the Green Turtle Talisman, the Claw Talisman, the Viridian Amber Medallion, and the Kindred of Rot’s Exultation Talisman. His character is now at level 179, but he doesn’t want to level it up any further. The radiant hero has invested a full 200 hours of play in his pot head (via IGN).

And if you lose heart now: Everyone starts small. As LMSH reveals in an interview with IGN, his first fights against Malenia were anything but easy. It took him 242 attempts and two summons before he was finally able to defeat the elegant swordsman for the first time. This extreme level of difficulty ultimately motivated LMSH to help others.

By now, he is highly trained in reading Malenia’s attacks and have now beaten her between 300 and 400 times. He can’t remember the exact number. But he is not infallible: “Sometimes I get killed immediately because of the lag, sometimes I miss the right timing for the evasive maneuver in Malenia’s Waterflow Dance, I want to apologize for my failed attempts,” LMSH told IGN.

LMSH is now a star in the Elden Ring community. There are already quite a few memes and fanart:

Why is he naked? LMSH has a simple explanation for this: “Naked players are considered the most powerful in the Souls community. Why wear armor at all if you plan not to get hit at all?”.

What’s your opinion on fans like “let me solo her”? And have you already defeated Malenia, if so how? Solo or in co-op?
