Elden Ring Hero Slays Giant in Shadow of the Erdtree

Elden Ring's famed Let Me Solo Her shifts focus from Malenia to Shadow of the Erdtree's challenging boss, Messmer the Impaler. This legendary YouTuber, known for single-handedly assisting countless players in defeating Malenia since the game's 2022 release, is now lending his expertise to conquering the notoriously difficult Messmer.

Malenia, Blade of Miquella, was long considered Elden Ring's ultimate boss challenge. However, the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC introduced Messmer the Impaler, a boss deemed equally formidable, and unlike Malenia, a mandatory encounter for story progression. This has left many players struggling to complete the expansion solo.

Enter Let Me Solo Her (Klein Tsuboi), who has recently dedicated his YouTube channel to helping players overcome Messmer. Following a "Final Malenia soloing stream," his current focus is clearly on the new boss, as evidenced by his latest video, "Let me solo him." This transition was anticipated, as he had previously hinted at retiring from Malenia fights in February, prior to the DLC's release.

Elden Ring Legend Assists with Messmer the Impaler Conquests

True to his iconic style, Let Me Solo Her tackles Messmer with his signature minimalist loadout: two katanas, a jar helmet, and a loincloth. Despite this seemingly inadequate attire, he consistently inflicts significant damage. His dedication to assisting other players is remarkable, considering his reported 6,000+ Malenia battles since Elden Ring's launch. His expressed interest in Messmer and the DLC's difficulty upon its announcement further highlights his commitment to the game's community.

The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC's challenging nature has sparked criticism from some Elden Ring players, with some even advising against its purchase. In response, FromSoftware released an update aimed at improving the DLC's overall difficulty. Bandai Namco also suggested players level up the Scadutree Blessing to better tackle the new bosses. However, for those still struggling, the chance of encountering Let Me Solo Her in co-op offers a beacon of hope for defeating the formidable Messmer the Impaler.
