In just a few days, the character by the name of “Let me solo her” (aka LMSH) became a true legend on the Elden Ring, and from legend he quickly became a meme. In the dark world of Underworld, which is full of demigods, monsters and champions of questionable morality, he is considered the true hero to be emulated, as he comes to save players in spectacular fashion. distress.
Let me solo her explained
For the past few weeks, players have reported noticing a player summon mark with an unusual name in front of the Malenia portal: “Let me solo her”, a name that has the advantage of sending a clear message in the absence text or voice chat in Elden Ring. When summoned, this player is found to be nearly naked, as a pot-shaped helmet is their only piece of armor. When the host of the game launches the fight against the most difficult boss in the game, Malenia, then all he has to do is stay at a distance alongside the other summoned player.
LMSH will then engage in solo combat, perfectly dodging all of Malenia’s attacks.. A feat recognized as very difficult by the experts, since its various deluges of attacks require excellent timing and good positioning. His infamous blade dance in particular proves to be a real wall that many players run into. Surviving it is good enough, but dodging all the attacks without abusing the Bloodhound Step is something else. It’s not for nothing that players fall back on a shield, even on the ice pots to interrupt it. The fight is quite long, since Malenia has a lot more hit points with 3 players present, and a fundamental part of killing Malenia is knowing when to attack. or not She attacks too quickly to allow herself to attack aggressively, being blocked by her character’s animation without being able to dodge is the classic trap on this boss. It is all the more important that she heals herself with each blow. In any case, this shows how well LMSH masters the fight, and after a few minutes, Malenia, goddess of putrefaction bites the dust without having managed to touch it.
Different testimonials and videos of LMSH’s similar exploits multiplied, and he eventually became famous within the community. The concept may sound a bit strange, but it has actually been very familiar within the FromSoftware gaming community for a long time. Similar players already existed in previous games. Moreover, it could be described as the embodiment of the various jokes and extreme difficulty ideals associated with these games: While the world is populated by gods, giant dragons and ancient monstrosities, the most powerful entity in the universe they all fear is a madman who walks around naked and smashes their skulls in with a club without never get hit. It must be said that when you never get hit, armor is just dead weight.
LMSH is not far from this ideal, as he just uses a jar to add an even more ridiculous aspect to his outfit and to pay homage to Alexander the jar-warrior. Katanas are some of the best weapons in the game, and he uses both bleed and freeze effects, but it has to be said that the fight wouldn’t end if he clubbed. The game host and other summons don’t necessarily want to wait 30 minutes for it to end.
Inevitably, with the gain in popularity of LMSH, many copiers and imitators appeared. Some are more gifted than others, but it’s not an easy performance to imitate. AsCharacter names are not unique in Elden Ring, nothing prevents them from using the exact same name as the originalwhich makes it impossible to distinguish between the original and the copies.
Let me solo her equipment
Whether it’s just out of curiosity, or to imitate it yourself, here is the equipment from LMSH. This list includes what we have seen in the videos, but also what a player who claims to be the original communicated in a message. The original character would have about 200 hours of gameplay, and would be level 179.
- Jar : Obtained by completing Alexander’s quests.
- Blood River +9 : Katana obtained by killing the invader in front of Marika’s church south of the Eastern Giant Peaks, not far from the Fire Giant. Enhanced with Dark Forge Stones.
- Frost Uchigatana +25 : Another katana, obtained by playing Samurai, or found in the Death-Touched Catacombs north of Necrolimbo. The frost effect is achieved by using the Ashes of War Freezing Step, even if the skill is not used.
- Talismans : Green Turtle, Viridian Amber Medallion, Rotspawn Exultation and Claw Talisman
LMSH nevertheless specifies that it is not against cooperation either. If the host and the other summoned player decide to attack the boss, he normally assists them in killing Malenia. According to him, players who leave the game at the first sign of cooperation are imposters.
