The gaming world's beloved hero, Let Me Solo Her, has been on a new adventure in 2025, trading the vast Lands Between for the gothic horrors of Yharnam. This legendary Elden Ring player, famous for helping countless gamers defeat Malenia while wearing nothing but a pot helmet and wielding dual katanas, has recently shared their thoughts on FromSoftware's Bloodborne, declaring it the "most depressing FromSoft game" they've ever experienced.

The Pot-Headed Hero's New Nightmare

Let Me Solo Her has built quite the reputation in the gaming community. For those living under a rock (or perhaps hiding from Malenia), this player became famous for their minimalist approach to one of Elden Ring's most punishing boss fights. Armed with just a Rivers of Blood Katana and Cold Uchigatana, and protected by nothing but a pot helmet, they've helped countless players conquer the Blade of Miquella. Talk about going into battle half-cocked and coming out on top!

In their recent Bloodborne playthrough, our hero faced numerous challenges, but one boss in particular earned their ire. According to Let Me Solo Her, Laurence, the First Vicar, deserves the dubious honor of being the "most annoying boss" in Bloodborne. This optional DLC boss apparently gave our champion more grief than even the notorious Orphan of Kos!

What made Laurence such a pain in the you-know-what? Let Me Solo Her complained about visibility issues during the fight, struggling to see what the flaming Cleric Beast was doing in the confined space of the Grand Cathedral. Anyone who's faced this boss knows it's like trying to dodge a burning bus in a phone booth. Not exactly a walk in the park, even for gaming's greatest helper.

From Malenia to Maria: A Tale of Two Badasses

While Laurence earned the stink eye from our protagonist, other Bloodborne bosses received high praise. Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower reminded Let Me Solo Her of their old nemesis/partner Malenia. Both bosses are found sleeping until disturbed by players, leading to epic showdowns that test one's skills to the limit.

In what might be considered a professional assessment from gaming's foremost boss-fighter, Let Me Solo Her noted similarities between Lady Maria's attack patterns and Malenia's infamous Waterfowl Dance - you know, that move that makes players throw their controllers across the room while screaming "That's just not fair!"

Our hero also had kind words for Ludwig and his "best soundtrack in the game" designation. Though in classic Let Me Solo Her fashion, they noted how Ludwig becomes easier to dodge after he gets his Holy Moonlight Sword - right before getting immediately smacked by said sword. Even legends have their face-palm moments!

The Crown of Difficulty: Orphan of Kos

When it comes to pure challenge, Let Me Solo Her crowned the Orphan of Kos as "the hardest boss" in Bloodborne. They placed this shrieking nightmare baby in the pantheon of overwhelmingly powerful DLC bosses, alongside Elden Ring's Promised Consort Radahn, Dark Souls 3's Slave Knight Gael, and Dark Souls 1's Manus.

Beyond the DLC, Let Me Solo Her also tipped their pot helmet to base game encounters like Martyr Logarius, Mergo's Wet Nurse (which they described as a "fantastic fight" with one of the best designs), and Gehrman, the First Hunter. Interestingly, after initially failing against Gehrman, our hero returned post-DLC and defeated the First Hunter on their first attempt. Talk about coming back with a vengeance!

The Most Depressing FromSoft Game

Beyond boss rankings, Let Me Solo Her offered thoughtful commentary on Bloodborne's atmosphere and narrative, dubbing it the "most depressing FromSoft game" - which is really saying something in a genre where happiness goes to die.

The title wasn't awarded solely for Bloodborne's Lovecraftian aesthetic and gothic horror vibes, but for the tragic tale it weaves. In a genre full of dark fantasy worlds where evil has triumphed, Bloodborne stands out as particularly heartbreaking. The game portrays ordinary citizens paying the ultimate price for the ambitions of those seeking to transcend humanity - a story that hit home even for someone who's spent hundreds of hours wearing a pot and slaying demigods.

What's Next for Our Pot-Headed Hero?

As 2025 rolls on, the gaming community eagerly awaits Let Me Solo Her's next challenge. Will they return to the Lands Between with Elden Ring's rumored new DLC? Will they don their iconic pot helmet in another FromSoftware title? Or perhaps they'll shock us all and start speedrunning Animal Crossing? (Now that would be a plot twist!)

Whatever comes next, one thing's for certain - whether it's helping strangers defeat impossibly difficult bosses or offering insightful commentary on game design, Let Me Solo Her continues to be one of gaming's most unexpected and beloved icons. Not all heroes wear capes; some just wear pots and carry really sharp swords.

As they might say in Yharnam: "A hunter is never alone" - especially when that hunter has helped thousands of players and become a legend in their own right. Here's to you, Let Me Solo Her. May your pot never crack and your katanas stay sharp! 🍯⚔️
