The 2022 Gamer of the Year is back, baby (though he never left). Let Me Solo, the nearly naked man with a jar on his head who helps players tackle the Elden Ring's most difficult bosses, has been streaming his prep and first playthrough of Shadow of the Eldest Tree for a while, but now he's back with what made him famous in the first place: a grateful He is once again dabbling in soloing difficult bosses for cooperative play hosts who will.

His distinctive pot helmet is firmly in place, but otherwise it's "let me do a punishment 'Venom' solo," as LMSH has covered his distinctive loincloth with Morgot's smelly cape and replaced his distinctive katana with a frost-infused falchion and scimitar . The "character returns for the sequel in a long coat and eyepatch" vibe was sealed by a significant name change: he's now "Let me solo him.

The first target is the challenge to the in-expansion boss Messmer the Impaler, depicted in all the box art and promo material; LMSH has uploaded some of Messmer's support plays to the stream VOD, but no hits against Messmer He has also just uploaded a new video of the cooperative play; what is impressive about LMSH's practice is that he is playing with a functional handicap, and the cooperative play gives the Elden Ring boss a strength buff.

LMSH told PC Gamer that he would like to focus on Messmer for a while and achieve no-hit runs like the one above more consistently. He also left open the possibility that he may eventually turn to supporting Shadow of the Erdtree's super-hard, super-spoilery rathole.

Whatever comes next after "Let me do it solo," you can follow his progress on his YouTube and Twitch channels.
