Let me solo her, the legendary playerFire Ringtook over three hours to defeat the final boss of the game’s expansion. You’re not alone in your suffering.
« The final boss kicks my ass » : this was the tweet from Let me solo her on June 29, 2024. This player ofFire Ring is known for defeating Malenia in Underpants thousands of times (one of the worst bosses in the game). He summed up in one sentence the feeling of many people who crossed swords with the latest opponent of Shadow of the Erdtree – the expansion available since June 21.
Let Me Solo Her eventually got the win, as PC Gamer reported in a June 30 article. But it still took some time for one of the most skilled players inFire Ring to beat the enemy whose identity we will keep quiet. He actually needed three hours. His exploit was broadcast live on YouTube (you can watch it again by going to this address). The day before, his attempts, also broadcast, had been nothing but failures.
Yes, the final boss of Elden Ring is excruciatingly difficult
« I beat the final boss », rejoices Let me solo her in https://twitter.com/TsuboiKlein/status/1807193376594534652. A few days before, he had taken a poll to ask his community what they thought about the difficulty of Shadow of the Erdtree. “ After over 37,000 votes, 75% of people think the DLC is hard, but a good majority think it’s hard in a good way, which I agree with. Striving to surpass yourself in the face of formidable bosses is why we love the soulsborne genre “, he reveals.
However, some bosses from the expansionFire Ring are a real pain — as promised by FromSoftware (which deliberately lied about other elements). As Shadow of the Erdtree will be the RPG’s only additional content, the Japanese developers have pushed some sliders to the limit. Challenge enthusiasts therefore get their money’s worth, to the great dismay of some who think that Shadow of the Erdtree goes a little too far.
The difficulties of Let Me Solo Her might discourage other players. A true hero of the community, he has spent the last few years becoming a specialist in Malenia — an opponent capable of healing himself and who has a sequence of blows that is difficult to dodge. He became a support for those who could not beat it. His services were even recognized by FromSoftware and Bandai Namco, who sent him a sword as a trophy. It could soon become Let Me Solo Him, focusing on Messmer (who is not the final boss).
