Despite being a wildly popular, award-winning game, as a single-player game that has received its final major content update,Elden Ring’s influence is slowly beginning to fade as players finish their journey in the Lands Between. However, October 2024 is expected to see a surge in popularity for the game as a fan-favorite community member will be making their long-awaited return to the game’s online multiplayer scene. The legendary player known as Let Me Solo Her, also known as Let Me Solo Him and Let Me Solo Them, is expected to return toElden Ringat the end of October after having been banned from the game’s online multiplayer.
Let Me Solo Her rose to fame for carrying players through what was originally considered one ofthe hardest boss fights inElden Ringfrom the base game. Unfortunately, though, Let Me Solo Her’s main account was banned from the game back in April for playingElden Ringwith mods installed. So, with Let Me Solo Her’s ban period ending soon, they’re anticipated to make a return to the game to continue their legacy of helping players defeat some of the new DLC bosses inElden Ring.
Elden Ring Faces Low Player Counts As Players Finish the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC
According toSteam Charts,Elden Ring’s peak player count for September 2024 on Steam was only 74,818of the game’s all-time peak player count, which is 952,523. This is natural for any game’s player counts to drop as players complete the game and move on. Especially considering that the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is said to beElden Ring’s last major content update, many players have likely beaten their final boss or earned their final achievement and are patiently waiting for FromSoftware’s next SoulsBourne game by now.
FromSoftware’s next SoulsBourne game afterElden Ringis said to be much smaller in scope, so it may not be too long before an official reveal or announcement surfaces.
However, despite experiencing low player counts, the potential return of Let Me Solo Her bodes well forElden Ring’s co-op community. Consequently, for any players who have yet to beat some of theShadow of the Erdtree DLC bossesor players who are looking for another excuse to get back intoElden Ringin general, the end of October could be the perfect time to do so.
Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC’s Controversial Difficulty Is the Perfect Opportunity for Let Me Solo Her’s Return
WhenElden Ringfirst came out, a player by the username of Let Me Solo Her would regularly place their summon sign down near the arena ofMalenia, Blade of Miquellaso that they could be recruited by other players to defeat this boss without the host player’s help. With Malenia widely considered to be one of the hardest bosses inElden Ringon release, it didn’t take long for word of this player’s incredible deeds to spread around the game’s community. Let Me Solo Her soon became a legend, at least until they were banned in April forplayingElden Ringwith mods installed.
Elden Ringwill scale the difficulty of a boss fight based on the number of players and NPC cooperators present when the fight starts, but summoning a Spirit Ash after the fight already started won’t affect the difficulty.
Let Me Solo Her’s ban period will end in late October 2024, and it’s anticipated that they will return to the game to continue helping players defeat bosses. Instead of exclusively fighting Malenia,Elden Ringreleased a massive DLC shortly after Let Me Solo Her was banned. Now, with the bosses from this DLC considered to be even harder than Malenia, this seems like the perfect opportunity for Let Me Solo Her to return and continue their legacy, once again uniting theElden Ringcommunity.
