Bandai Namco Gifts Legendary 'Elden Ring' Player 'Let Me Solo Her' A Sword And Some Swag For Being Awesome

It's been nearly two months since the now-legendary Elden Ring player Let Me Solo Her won his thousandth fight against the boss Malenia, Blade of Miquella, which is notoriously difficult for a struggling Tarnished.

Now, it seems the Elden Ring publishers have taken notice and gifted the intrepid gamer a swag bag to make other tarnished jealous, which Let Me Solo Her shared to Reddit yesterday afternoon.

In a post that quickly skyrocketed to the top of the /r/EldenRing subreddit, Let Me Solo Her, real name Klein Tsuboi, showed off his gift from Bandai Namco.

The package included a sword (though not one of his signature katanas) with the phrase "Rise, Tarnished" engraved upon it, some cool wood art of Malenia, a map of The Lands Between, Melina's cloak and a personal letter stating "Congratulations on your great accomplishment!" The letter also featured a drawing of Let Me Solo Her's in-game attire: a jar-head and a loin cloth.

Let Me Solo Her took the Elden Ring community by storm in April when he began offering his services to struggling Tarnished. He laid down his summon sign ahead of Malenia, widely considered the game's hardest boss, and instructed his host to stand back as he flawlessly annihilated the bane of many players' existence.

In the weeks and months that followed, he became a folk hero in the community, garnering media attention and fan art as he racked up runs on the demigod until May when he knocked out Malenia for the thousandth time.

At the time, he voiced his intention to put the game down for a while, but it seems Tsuboi has resumed his Malenia-slaying ways. Commenters on his thread noted that he's now crested 2,000 kills on Malenia, with some joking that Bandai Namco will have to send him another sword to commemorate the achievement. The jar-head, joked another, will come at 3,000.
