Elden Ring's Solo Star to Challenge Shadow of the Erdtree

Elden Ring's famed "Let Me Solo Her" shifts focus from Malenia to the challenging Shadow of the Erdtree boss, Messmer the Impaler. Known for his legendary Malenia victories, this YouTuber is now assisting players struggling with the DLC's mandatory and notoriously difficult boss fight.

Malenia, previously considered Elden Ring's toughest boss, has been dethroned (at least for some) by Messmer. Unlike Malenia, defeating Messmer is essential for completing the Shadow of the Erdtree storyline, making solo completion a significant hurdle for many.

Let Me Solo Her, whose real name is Klein Tsuboi, has recently streamed numerous Messmer victories on YouTube, showcasing his signature minimalist approach: two katanas, a jar helmet, and a loincloth. This follows a "Final Malenia soloing stream," signaling his transition to Messmer as his primary challenge. His latest video, aptly titled "Let me solo him," reflects this shift, aligning with his February plans to retire from Malenia before the DLC's release.

The Elden Ring community's reaction to Shadow of the Erdtree's difficulty has been mixed, with some players voicing concerns about its challenging nature. In response, FromSoftware released a game update aiming to improve the overall DLC experience, and Bandai Namco suggested leveling up the Scadutree Blessing to aid in overcoming the new bosses. However, for those still struggling, the chance of encountering Let Me Solo Her in co-op offers a glimmer of hope for conquering Messmer. His legendary Malenia record (over 6,000 victories) speaks to his skill and willingness to aid fellow Tarnished.
