PCG Gamer of the 12 months (opens in new tab) Let Me Solo Her is again at it once more, child. As reported by Kotaku (opens in new tab), LMSH, well-known for his nude, twin katana-wielding, pot-helmed avatar and repeated shepherding of different gamers previous secret megaboss Malenia, has began streaming (opens in new tab) a run of Elden Ring the place each enemy is, in reality, Malenia.
I am unsure what mod LMSH is utilizing to make the swap—perhaps some customized parameters on the Merchandise and Enemy Randomizer (opens in new tab) by thefifthmatt—however he is additionally rocking FiftyTifty’s simply-titled Aggression Mod (opens in new tab), which makes enemies instantly house in on you from any vary as soon as spawned. A whole countryside of forbidden sword approach goddesses of decay instantly lock on and pursue LMSH on getting into an space, making for this virtually Danger of Rain-like ratcheting up of the peril as he scurries from Grace to Grace.
LMSH’s objectives for the run are to gather his signature pot helm from Alexander’s quest, by no means degree up Vigor, and beat the sport. At the moment he is acquired the beginning samurai helm to finish his ensemble, making for a form of depowered, Samus-at-the-beginning-of-Metroid (opens in new tab) vibe earlier than he collects his signature hat. In his preliminary two-hour stream, LMSH murdered lovable samurai dope Yurah for his Sephiroth sword earlier than taking up Malenia the Fell Omen and Malenia the Grafted.
He began operating into bother with Malenia, Queen of the Full Moon although. Not solely does she have a cramped, cluttered boss room, however each occasion of Malenia within the mod carries each of her well being bars. With a two-phase boss like Rennala, that is truly two separate Malenia spawns making for a four-phase boss.
Fortunately, the mod provides the small mercy of not turning all of Rennala’s little child scholar minions into Malenias as effectively—there’s simply the one. That setup would in all probability be an excessive amount of of a CPU melter anyway. As LMSH notes, the mod already “makes your recreation kinda laggy because it wasn’t meant to assist that many Malenias.”
LMSH indicated that the run will proceed at this time, and you’ll catch it dwell or in VOD kind over on his YouTube channel (opens in new tab). As one Elden Ring Malenia assassin troopers on, one other has lately retired (opens in new tab). Participant JPNB (opens in new tab) might lastly finish his “Preventing Malenia with a special construct each week till Elden Ring DLC Information” collection since we lastly acquired that Elden Ring DLC information. I sit up for all these players finally having to battle Blue Malenia (opens in new tab) in Shadow of the Erdtree.
