Elden Ring's famed "Let Me Solo Her" shifts focus from Malenia to the challenging Messmer the Impaler. This legendary YouTuber, known for assisting countless players in defeating Malenia since Elden Ring's 2022 launch, is now lending his expertise to conquering the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC's formidable new boss.
Malenia, Blade of Miquella, was long considered Elden Ring's ultimate challenge. However, Messmer the Impaler, a mandatory boss in the new DLC, has proven equally, if not more, difficult for many players, particularly those attempting a solo playthrough.
Fortunately, Let Me Solo Her (Klein Tsuboi) has answered the call. Recent streams on his YouTube channel showcase his assistance in defeating Messmer, following a "Final Malenia soloing stream" that signaled his shift in focus. His latest video, aptly titled "Let me solo him," confirms this transition, aligning with his previously expressed intention to retire from Malenia battles before the Shadow of the Erdtree release.
Elden Ring Legend Tackles Messmer the Impaler
True to his style, Let Me Solo Her confronts Messmer wielding only two katanas, a jar helmet, and a loincloth. This minimalist approach belies his exceptional skill, consistently delivering significant damage. Having reportedly battled Malenia over 6,000 times since Elden Ring's release, his expertise is undeniable. His earlier expressed interest in Messmer and the DLC's difficulty further underscores his engagement with the challenge.
The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC's difficulty has sparked controversy, with some fans deeming it excessively challenging and discouraging purchases. In response, FromSoftware released an update aimed at improving the overall experience, and Bandai Namco suggested players level up the Scadutree Blessing. However, for those still struggling, the prospect of encountering Let Me Solo Her in co-op offers a welcome solution to the dreaded Messmer the Impaler encounter.
