Elden Ring's renowned player, Let Me Solo Her, shifts focus from Malenia to conquer the Shadow of the Erdtree's challenging 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 the new DLC.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella, once held the title of Elden Ring's toughest boss. However, Messmer the Impaler, a mandatory encounter in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, has proven equally formidable, particularly for solo players struggling to complete the DLC's storyline.
Fortunately, Let Me Solo Her (Klein Tsuboi online) is providing assistance via livestreams on his YouTube channel. Recent streams showcase his transition from Malenia, culminating in a "Final Malenia soloing stream," and a new focus on Messmer, as evidenced by his latest video, "Let me solo him." This shift aligns with his February announcement of a potential Malenia retirement 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 attire. This minimalist approach, honed over 6,000 Malenia encounters since Elden Ring's release, continues to deliver impressive results. His interest in Messmer, and the DLC's overall difficulty, was openly expressed prior to its release.
Following player complaints about the Shadow of the Erdtree's demanding challenges, FromSoftware issued an update aimed at improving the overall experience. Bandai Namco also suggested players upgrade the Scadutree Blessing to enhance their chances against the new bosses. However, for those still facing difficulty, the prospect of encountering Let Me Solo Her in co-op offers a welcome beacon of hope in the fight against Messmer the Impaler.
