Update, 5:38 PM ET, April 15: I didn’t expect this turnaround. IGN is talking to a player who claims to be the real “Let’s Solo” and I’ve obviously played with a cheater who can be a lot. While the person who joined my game actually did it solo, the player who spoke to IGN said they didn’t mind if others joined the fight with them. He told IGN: “I always carry a jar on my head and I don’t give up any fights with Malenia bosses. If the host or other called person decides to help, I have no problem. Although this revelation weighs heavily on my psyche, the pleasure of watching someone beat this boss alone remains.
Before I got to the Little One, a notorious tough boss in the Elden Ring, I had heard a little about a player named “Let Me Solo with Her” who, as their name suggests, is fully capable of dealing with the two-phase enemy alone. I was surprised to find their summons last night and was even happier that they were not summoned quickly by many other players who had read all about their skills (they carry almost nothing to defend and have two katanas). They arrived at my game and it was like seeing a celebrity. They even waved. I used my chatter paste and said, “You’re beautiful.” We entered the battlefield together.
I was so excited to have “Let me solo her” in my game that I didn’t actually let them solo it. Like Bizarro in Sealab 2021, I thought I was helping by sending a few spells to a swarm of flies in the ring. They immediately left my game in the middle of the battle. I was almost immediately gutted in the game – and in real life – knowing I was trying to do a duo with the solo master. They even gestured for me to stay behind. Why couldn’t I heed the warning?
After many re-attempts, I came across their summons again, and this time I knew how to step back and watch them masterfully remove this boss. The legend of “Let me solo her” is alive and well. Just sit back, relax and don’t try to help.
