Malenia is one of the most difficult bosses from Elden Ring. A friendly phantom defeats her single-handedly without the player having to intervene.
As if Elden Ring wasn’t hard enough, some bosses make life especially difficult for players. The confrontation with Malenia is one of these tough fights. Be it because of the fast attack combos, the passive healing or the even more difficult second phase. No wonder, then, that many players look for help and place their summoner signs in front of the boss arena.
When the host becomes a spectator
Many players have already been supported by the mysterious let me solo her, which later turned out to be the Reddit user (KleinTsuboiOW). As the ingame nickname already reveals, he fights Malenia alone and lets his hosts watch comfortably, although bosses in Fromsoftware titles are given a whole lot more life when you fight them in twos or even threes.
The smart outfit consists only of a pot, which is misused as a helmet. KleinTsuboiOW does without armour and shield and therefore uses two katanas as weapons: the Moon Veil katana and the Bloody Streams katana. These are currently among the strongest weapons in the game!
Naked players don’t bode well for bosses in Souls titles
Souls veterans will already know it, but when you encounter a naked player in a Fromsoftware title, it usually doesn’t bode well. Either for yourself or for the boss who’s in for it. And so it is with KleinTsuboiOW aka let me solo here. Every blow is bravely dodged and the short time windows are used for a double strike with both katanas.
Word of his unbelievable skills has spread on Reddit, which is why many users have already published really nice fan art:

Modder Garden Of Eyes has now released a mod on his Patreon that turns the now famous naked let me solo her into ghost ash. In addition to the iconic pot as a headdress, he also has the two strongest katanas in the game and should be a good help to you even as an NPC variant. Already in the first sentence, the modder hints that it could be a stronger variant of the famous imitator tear:
The legendary ghost ash is here, and he will defeat every boss single-handedly!
For the Ghost Ash mod, you’ll need to subscribe to Garden of Eyes’ Patreon Level 2 for £4.50 a month. If you’d rather save the money
So if you have your problems with Malenia, you should look for that naked guy with the pot on his head, because for a change this actually means something good in Elden Ring.
