Elden Ring's Let Me Solo Her Should Have a Nightreign Cameo

Like many FromSoftware titles, the community surrounding Elden Ring is still massive and deeply dedicated, with the addictive replayability and deep lore of the title still being so conducive to fan-led discussion and debate. While the grueling and unforgiving game world of the title can be a lonely place for players, certain community figures have risen to be massively popular and instantly recognizable, with Let Me Solo Her being one of the best examples of this.

The story of Let Me Solo Her quickly became the stuff of legends within the Elden Ring community, creating a lasting legacy that is echoed throughout the gaming space to this day. One of the many Easter eggs of the recently released Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 makes a direct reference to Let Me Solo Her's legacy, and it only seems right that this is taken a step further. The upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign has predictably drawn huge amounts of attention and revamped certain circles of the FromSoftware community, and the project seems like a perfect match for a Let Me Solo Her Easter egg of its own.

Elden Ring Nightreign Could Be the Perfect Stage For a Let Me Solo Her Reference

Let Me Solo Her is the name of a player character that quickly became a cult-like figure within Elden Ring's player base, with the player going viral for consistently helping others as a summonable ally for the game's Malenia, Blade of Miquella boss fight. With no equipped armor except a jar on their head, Let Me Solo Her showed dizzying skill and tenacity by single-handedly defeating Malenia over and over again for frustrated players, with the sight of this feat being as comical as it was impressive.

Malenia is largely considered one of the toughest boss fights in Elden Ring, even entering the discussion of the hardest bosses across FromSoftware's entire gaming catalog, creating a clear demand for someone like Let Me Solo Her to offer a helping hand to those in need. The unforgettable name and appearance of Let Me Solo Her has led to a level of notoriety around the player that is showing no signs of slowing down to this day, with the recent Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 possessing a fun Easter egg commemorating this element of Elden Ring history.

The large game world of KCD2 is jam-packed with Easter eggs relating to different franchises and genre-bending events, with its Let Me Solo Her Easter egg being one of the most recognizable. In the game, players can find the grave of a skeleton with a bucket on its head and a sword in each hand, with this unmistakable get-up being an excellent nod to the iconic Elden Ring figure.

Alongside Elden Ring's Let Me Solo Her, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 makes reference to other franchises like Harry Potter, The Elder Scrolls, and Monty Python.

The Community Spirit of Let Me Solo Her Could Be Key to a Nightreign Reference

With there clearly being such a long-lasting legacy of Let Me Solo Her that is echoing across the industry, it seems remiss that there has not yet been a direct official reference to the player within a FromSoftware project. While Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion did not feature a nod to Let Me Solo Her, the multiplayer focus of the upcoming Nightreign seems like a perfect match in terms of honoring the community spirit of the viral player.

There is a wide range of ways that this reference could potentially be made in Elden Ring Nightreign, even something as simple as a nod to the figure in a weapon or summon description, being a great way for FromSoftware to bridge the gap between itself and the community. With the spirit and memory of Let Me Solo Her being so clearly alive all these years later, an official reference to the figure seems like it needs to happen, and the co-op-centric gameplay of Elden Ring Nightreign seems like a match made in heaven for this to finally become a reality.
