Elden Ring devs sent their most infamous player a commemorative sword

Elden Ring’s Let Me Solo Her saga has reached its natural conclusion: Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have sent the real player a real sword.

On Wednesday, Klein Tsuboi — the person behind the infamous Let Me Solo Her account in Elden Ring — posted an image on Twitter of a gift he received from FromSoftware and Bandai Namco. The box included some Elden Ring themed items, a special message from the publisher and developers, a wooden portrait of Malenia, and, most importantly, a sword.

In their tweets, Tsuboi thanked Bandai Namco and FromSoftware for the gift and recalled almost giving up on during their first Dark Souls boss fight, Ludex Gundyr — the first boss inDark Souls 3. Tsuboi then went on to thank some Soulsbourne community members that were important to their Let Me Solo Her journey.

For those not in the know, Let Me Solo Her became famous for waiting outside of the Malenia boss room — Elden Ring’s hardest fight by a mile — and waiting for players to summon them. When they’d appear
