Strategy
The strongest hero of the Elden Ring overcomes the strain of his first experience and takes on the Shadow of the Eldtree's last boss.

Life is interesting. When we first faced it, it seemed like an obstacle that no human being could ever overcome.

Work, exams, daily life in a foreign country, or the frequent battles between a warrior, a child of God, and his giant double-edged sword. Or taxes. Paying taxes can be scary sometimes.

Now, the only time one of those things would concern you would be if you were literally "Let Me Solo Her," the folk hero of the Elden Ring who made a brilliant career playing the clown in Marenia and was presented with a real sword by From Software in recognition of his achievements. He's been working his way through Shadow of the Erdtree lately, and even he ran into some problems with the DLC's final boss: it took him three hours to finally defeat it, spoiling Erdtree's final battle first.

But that's in the past, because the hero is now up to the point where he can clown Ladern in both phases just as easily as Marenia. In a video uploaded yesterday to the LMSH YouTube channel, titled "Let Me Solo Them," he makes short work of the moron in both phases in just under five minutes. That's 2.8% of the time it originally took. He also adds a ragged cape to his outfit, which I find very attractive.

His strategy is, well, that Elden Ring is much better than anything I have tried so far. Radahn cannot be hit: wherever his sword is, LMSH is not. And meanwhile, our urn-headed champion is hurting him with all kinds of specially tuned rapiers, accumulating corruption, blood loss, and frostbite, just to make Ladahn look like a real doofus.

I'm no match for him, but I might benefit from it anyway; LMSH seems to be operating outside the arena of Ladern's bosses just as he once was outside the arena of Marenia's bosses, and players can summon him to assist (or even fight the boss) if they so desire. (or have him fight). Hey, why get your hands dirty when you can just stand around and watch the pros do their job?
