The mighty have indeed fallen, knee-deep in a puddle of shame at Miquella's Haligtree. Who could have predicted that the storied Elden Ring player Klein Tsuboi, best known as Let Me Solo Her, would end up this way?
Oh, sorry. Let Me Solo Her, who's been collecting a cabinet of bruises while helping Elden Ring players as a summon over the past four years, actually says it wasn't him who recently died screaming and in pain during a battle with the indefatigable goddess Malenia. See? Look at what he wrote on Twitter: "If you summoned me for Malenia on March 27th, 2026 at 7:14PM CST and I died in 2nd phase that wasn't me haha."
If you summoned me for Malenia on March 27th, 2026 at 7:14PM CST and I died in 2nd phase that wasn't me hahaMarch 28, 2026
Haha. Right. However, on the off chance that Let Me Solo Her's apparently intimate knowledge of the situation on March 27th, 2026 at 7:14PM CST means that it actually was him who perished, Elden Ring community members have begun kindly paying their respects.
Article continues below"Imagine being that guy, it's like summoning mahoraga and seeing him die," says a Twitter reply with 10,000 likes, referencing Jujutsu Kaisen's mythically powerful cursed spirit Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga. That's nice, comparing Let Me Solo Her to such a formidable being.
"Bro has sometimes known defeat," another reply with over 2,000 likes says. That's generous of them to include "sometimes."
Placing the final rose on Let Me Solo Her's casket, a player cries out, "MY GOAT IS WASHED." OK, everyone, that's enough. We must recognize that the message of Elden Ring – and life itself – is that death is inevitable, even if you have a giant, sexy jar on your head. And frankly it's a small comfort to know that Let Me Solo Her is still out there, soloing her, with a success rate that may or may not be below 100%.
