Replace, 5:38PM ET, April fifteenth: I didn’t count on this twist. IGN spoke with a participant claiming to be the true “Let me solo her,” and apparently, I performed with an imposter, of which there could also be many. Whereas the one who joined my sport did, actually, solo her, the participant talking to IGN mentioned that they don’t thoughts if others be a part of the battle with them. He instructed IGN: “I all the time put on a jar on my head and I don’t bail on any Malenia boss fights. If the host or different summon decides to assist, I’ve no issues in any way.” Whereas this revelation is weighing closely on my psyche, my enjoyment from watching somebody single-handedly beat this boss stays.
Earlier than I reached Malenia, a notoriously powerful boss in Elden Ring, I had already heard a bit concerning the participant named “Let me solo her,” who — as their identify implies — is totally able to taking over the two-phased foe by themselves. I used to be stunned to search out their summon signal final evening and much more delighted that they hadn’t been shortly summoned by quite a few different gamers who’d learn all about their abilities (they put on subsequent to nothing for cover, they usually wield two katanas). They arrived in my sport, and it was like seeing a star. They even waved. I used my prattling pate and mentioned, “You’re stunning.” We walked into the battlefield collectively.
I used to be so excited to have “Let me solo her” in my sport that I, actually, didn’t allow them to solo her. Like Bizarro in Sealab 2021, I assumed I used to be serving to by sending a couple of Swarm of Flies spells into the ring. They promptly left my sport mid-battle. I used to be nearly instantly eviscerated within the sport — and in real-life — understanding that I attempted to duo with the solo grasp. They’d even gestured for me to remain again. Why couldn’t I heed the warning?
After quite a few retries on my own, I stumbled upon their summon signal once more, and this time, I knew to face again and watch them masterfully take down this boss. The legend of “Let me solo her” is alive and properly. Simply sit, chill out, and don’t attempt to assist out.
