Elden Ring's renowned player, Let Me Solo Her, shifts focus from Malenia to conquer Shadow of the Erdtree's challenging boss, Messmer the Impaler. Famous for assisting countless gamers in defeating Malenia since Elden Ring's 2022 launch, Let Me Solo Her now lends his expertise to Messmer.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella, was long considered Elden Ring's most formidable boss. However, the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC introduces Messmer the Impaler, a boss deemed equally challenging, and unlike Malenia, a mandatory encounter for story progression, making solo completion a significant hurdle for many.
Fortunately, Let Me Solo Her, also known as Klein Tsuboi, is live-streaming his assistance on YouTube, helping players overcome Messmer. Recent streams and videos, including one titled "Let me solo him," confirm his shift in focus from Malenia, a retirement hinted at in February, prior to the DLC's release.
Elden Ring Legend's New Challenge: Conquering Messmer the Impaler
Maintaining his signature style, Let Me Solo Her tackles Messmer armed only with two katanas, a jar helmet, and a loincloth, consistently inflicting significant damage. His reported 6,000+ Malenia victories over the past two years highlight his skill. Upon the Shadow of the Erdtree announcement, he openly expressed anticipation for the red-haired Messmer and the DLC's difficulty.
The DLC's high difficulty has prompted criticism from some Elden Ring fans, even dissuading purchases. In response, FromSoftware issued an update aiming to improve the overall DLC experience, and publisher Bandai Namco suggests leveling up the Scadutree Blessing to aid in defeating the new bosses. However, for those still struggling, encountering Let Me Solo Her in co-op offers a glimmer of hope for conquering the formidable Messmer the Impaler.
