Elden Ring\'s Let Me Solo Her is Moving on to Shadow of the Erdtree Boss

by Sarah Jan 26,2025

Elden Ring's renowned player, Let Me Solo Her, shifts focus from Malenia to the challenging Shadow of the Erdtree boss, Messmer the Impaler. This celebrated YouTuber, known for assisting countless players in defeating Malenia since Elden Ring's 2022 launch, is now lending his expertise to conquering the DLC's formidable antagonist.

Malenia, Blade of Miquella, was long considered Elden Ring's most difficult boss. However, Messmer the Impaler, introduced in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, has quickly earned a similar reputation. Adding to the challenge, Messmer's fight is mandatory for story progression, making solo completion a significant hurdle for many players.

Enter Let Me Solo Her (Klein Tsuboi online), who has recently dedicated his YouTube channel to helping players overcome Messmer. Following a "Final Malenia soloing stream," he's clearly transitioned his focus, even titling a recent video "Let me solo him." This aligns with his February announcement of potentially retiring from Malenia battles in anticipation of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

Maintaining his signature style, Let Me Solo Her tackles Messmer with his iconic two katanas, jar helmet, and loincloth. His consistent high damage output remains impressive. Over the past two years, he's reportedly fought Malenia over 6,000 times. Prior to the DLC's release, he expressed considerable interest in the red-haired Messmer and the overall difficulty of the expansion.

The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has drawn criticism for its high difficulty, prompting some players to advise against purchase. In response, FromSoftware released an update aimed at improving overall accessibility, and Bandai Namco suggested players level up the Scadutree Blessing to aid in defeating 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 finally defeating the dreaded Messmer the Impaler.
