Let Me Solo Her Conquers Bloodborne's Fiercest Foe, Orphan of Kos

A single glance at the renowned Elden Ring player Let Me Solo Her is enough to awe even the mightiest Tarnished, yet he faced a grueling challenge against one of FromSoftware's toughest adversaries, Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos.

Let Me Solo Her gained fame in the Elden Ring community in April 2022, emerging as a loincloth-wearing, jar-headed savior who helped countless players defeat the notorious optional boss Malenia, Blade of Miquella in the blockbuster RPG.

By his own account, he has logged over 1,200 hours battling Malenia thousands of times. His feats earned him iconic status in the Elden Ring community, prompting FromSoftware to gift him a real sword to honor his achievements.

In a recent video, Let Me Solo Her shared that after acquiring a PS5 to join the Elden Ring Nightreign playtest, he finally dove into the beloved Bloodborne. Even as a FromSoftware veteran, he found some of the game’s most notorious boss fights daunting.

Adjusting to the lower framerate—Elden Ring runs at 60 fps, while Bloodborne is capped at 30 fps—along with the oppressive atmosphere and an early death to the clinic werewolf (a rite of passage), Let Me Solo Her chronicled his full Bloodborne journey, including its DLC.

"At last, I faced the Orphan of Kos. Every Soulsborne DLC has a final boss that feels impossibly overwhelming," he said. "We saw Promised Consort Radahn in Elden Ring, Slave Knight Gael in Dark Souls 3, and Manus, Father of the Abyss in Dark Souls 1. For Bloodborne, that boss was Orphan of Kos.

"This fight demanded more attempts than any other boss I’ve faced, even pushing me to grind Chalice Dungeons off-stream to stock up on Blood Vials and bullets," Let Me Solo Her noted (thanks, GamesRadar+). "He’s undoubtedly Bloodborne’s toughest boss for me."
