Around the launch of Elden Ring, a cult hero emerged—Let Me Solo Her. This legendary figure became famous for helping players defeat the game's then-toughest boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella, by dual-wielding swords and wearing only a pot over their head for protection. With the release of Shadow of the Erdtree, Let Me Solo Her evolved into Let Me Solo Them, aiding players in overcoming the DLC's final boss. However, this legacy has now spawned numerous imitators, leading to a growing problem in the Elden Ring community.
The Rise of Inadequate Imitators
Since the launch of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, players have reported an alarming increase in Let Me Solo Her clones. While imitation may be a form of flattery, it has led to many disappointing experiences for players seeking genuine help.
When summoning assistance for difficult bosses, players often encounter names like Let Me Solo Her/Them or slight variations, giving them false hope. Unfortunately, many of these clones fall short of expectations. Reports across Reddit highlight the inefficiency of these imitators.
One player recounted how a summon named "I'll Carry" immediately quit the game when they started drawing aggro away from Malenia. Another story involved a summon named "Let Me Solo Him" who went to fight the Fire Giant, only to be instantly one-shotted by a shield smash move.
Community Reactions
The Elden Ring community has voiced its displeasure with these ineffective clones. Descriptions like "cringe" and "a dick move" are common among frustrated players who expected more from their summoned helpers. The practice of posing as the legendary Let Me Solo Her but failing to deliver has become a frequent annoyance.
