Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree PS5 PS4 PlayStation

It's hard to believe it's been two years since one Elden Ring player rose above all others, proving their right to the throne of Elden Lord through repetitive ritual combat. Let Me Solo Her, as this jar-clad hero would come to be known, would dutifully slay the game's most brutal boss for players single-handedly, becoming an enduring legend in the process.

Today, LMSH is still fighting Malenia but is looking forward to Shadow of the Erdtree, which finally seems like an excellent place to lay down arms. Following the DLC’s recent reveal, IGN caught up with the dedicated dealer of death, who has around 1,200 hours in Elden Ring and has allegedly cut down Malenia "6000-7000 times by now", including beating the game using a mod which turns every enemy into the Goddess of Rot.

LMSH is especially excited by the prospect of Shadow of the Erdtree, believing director Hidetaka Miyazaki saves the best for last: "Soulslike games have a history of their DLCs being the best part of the game, and I trust that Mr. Miyazaki will give us another masterpiece to enjoy." Of particular note to LMSH is the horrifying new Messmer enemy (pictured above), which Miyazaki confirmed to IGN would be a "key figure" of the DLC, one which "stands on equal footing to these other demigods and children of Marika". A potential new nemesis for LMSH, then?

Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC can't come soon enough, releasing on 21st June on PS5 and PS4. Do you believe LMSH that they will be able to move on? Or do you prefer to think they are doomed to dance with Malenia for all time? Let us know in the comments section below.
