Even a brief look at the remarkable prowess of one of Elden Ring's most celebrated players, Let Me Solo Her, can humble the mightiest Tarnished. Yet, even he faced challenges with one of FromSoftware's most daunting adversaries, Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos.
Let Me Solo Her first gained fame in the Elden Ring community in April 2022, when he donned the guise of a loincloth-clad, jar-headed savior, providing crucial assistance to countless players battling the game's notorious optional boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
By his own account, he has since invested over 1,200 hours and confronted Malenia thousands of times. His dedication has earned him legendary status within the Elden Ring community, leading to FromSoftware sending him an actual sword in acknowledgment of his contributions.
In a recent video, Let Me Solo Her revealed that after finally acquiring a PS5 to participate in the Elden Ring Nightreign playtest, he was able to dive into the beloved Bloodborne. Even as a seasoned FromSoft player, he encountered difficulties with some of Bloodborne's most notorious boss encounters.
Adjusting to the game's lower frame rate — Elden Ring runs at 60 frames per second (fps), while Bloodborne is capped at 30 fps — and its intense atmosphere, Let Me Solo Her shared his complete Bloodborne experience, including the DLC.
"Finally, I encountered the Orphan of Kos. Every Soulsborne game with a DLC features a final boss that feels overwhelmingly powerful," he explained. "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. Orphan of Kos was that boss for Bloodborne."This boss required more attempts than any other I've faced, and even drove me to explore Chalice Dungeons off-stream to farm Blood Vials and bullets for replenishment," Let Me Solo Her remarked (thanks, GamesRadar+). "For me, he's undoubtedly the toughest boss in Bloodborne."
