For some, Elden Ring is the hardest game of all time, an impossible creation which they may never conquer. Within that, Malenia is inarguably the hardest boss, a fast-moving, self-healing monster with a second phase that brings normal men to tears. For one player, however, she’s been a ticket to fame – Let Me Solo Her, or LMSH, is a mostly-naked player with a big pot on his head. He uses Elden Ring’s co-op system to be summoned to other people’s worlds and hopes that they will listen to his in-name request. Then he defeats Malenia, usually without taking damage.
Last night, as part of a livestream on his YouTube channel ‘Klein Tsuboi’ (named for a Sword Art Online character, because what else), LMSH defeated his 1000th Malenia. In a silent stream other than game sound, he slowly worked through Malenia’s in various viewers’ games, rarely taking damage. On the thousandth, which can be seen here, he muted the game music and played the Elden Ring trailer theme over the top.
