Back in March, legendary Elder Ring The player Let Me Solo Her took on a challenge of unimaginable proportions: she completed a run in which every single enemy was Malenia. Countless times we’ve seen him kill this fearsome boss, but even for him it would surely be too much Malenia to defeat. Oh, who am I kidding? Of course he rose to the challenge. About 24 hours ago on April 25, Let Me Solo Her completed its 10-hour run of the Everything is Malenia run after documenting the entire journey on stream for the world to see.
Let Me Solo Her, as its name suggests, has made waves by appearing in other players’ games to take on one of the game’s most grueling bosses, Malenia, Blade of Miquella solo. His remarkable achievements Elder Ring championship even earned him a sword by the game’s publisher, Bandai Namco. After defeating Malenia so many times, Let Me Solo Her set his sights on beating the game with a mod that replaced every single enemy, from the easy-to-kill Godrick Soldiers to the game’s toughest bosses, with Malenia. And of course he had to do this by wearing nothing but the glass helmet and imposing other restrictions on his run such as: Let Me Solo Her does another lap of honor now and by God he deserves it.
10 hours, many deaths, many crashes and no strength
“It took me about 10 hours,” Let Me Solo Her says in his winning tweet, “and probably more deaths than I care to admit, but I finally finished the Everything is Malenia Run!”
While he admits he’s died more times than he’d like to and that the whole thing was maybe a bit much without leveling power, you could tell he was having fun with it five part stream Document trip.
The challenge proved difficult even for someone as skilled and experienced as Let Me Solo Her, but it was even more difficult for his PC, which crashed a few times when trying to step up with such a wild and demanding mod hold. Things got special rough in part three of the stream, where Let Me Solo Her said he had to configure the game to “the lowest possible setting” to keep it running. And mind you, like he said on the first game crashed in part onehe runs an RTX 4080 in his computer — that’s a $1,200 graphics card.
“I’m not sadistic, I just like this one particular boss”
Just watching Malenia streams, it’s hard not to believe that Let Me Solo Her enjoys being cruel to herself. I mean you can hear the pain in his voice at the end stream two as he takes on Draconic Malenia, the mod replacement for the Draconic Tree Sentinel.
But Let Me Solo Her assured the chat on the following stream that this was not an act of sadism. However, he said that only in Malenia the run was “tough, a lot harder than I thought it would be”. Moments later, however, he still told the chat, “You should try that by the way. It’s very, very fun.”
In the final, Let Me Solo Her admitted he had lost count of the number of times he died. In the first stream alone, he said: “I think [I died] at least 20-something [times].”
Despite all these deaths, Let Me Solo Her eventually defeated Elden Malenia, the replacement for the game’s final boss: Elden Beast. He thanked all his viewers and expressed his excitement the upcoming DLC… and we can’t wait to see what feats he pulls off when that falls.
