Now that Elden Ring has been out in the wild for over four months, let me ask you - have you managed to beat Malenia yet? You’ll get no judgement here if you’ve not - she’s a ridiculously strong boss, and one legendary player known as LetMeSoloHer took the internet by storm in April when they began helping their fellow Tarnished by destroying the red-headed terror single-handedly, all while wearing nothing but a pot on their head.
Back in May, the icon hit a huge achievement - they managed to fell a total of 1000 Malenias, which I’d say is most likely at least 999 more than the majority of players out there. Their services to the game’s community didn’t go unnoticed even at the start - with players pouring out their thanks, and producing some spectacular fan art. Now, game publisher Bandai Namco has sent them an incredible gift in celebration of their accomplishment.
We all know that Malenia is super strong, but how does she fare against the other bosses in the game? Take a look below.

“Thank you @BandaiNamcoUS and @ELDENRING for giving me this gift and congratulating me for being #LetMeSoloHer,” Let me solo her tweeted. “I can still remember my first experience with the soulsborne series and almost quitting because of Iudex Gundyr in Dark Souls 3. I’m glad I persisted and went on to enjoy the game, because this community is one of the most passionate and dedicated people I’ve ever seen in a game, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”
As you can see, the goodies they received are pretty spectacular - as well as what appears to be a replica of Melina’s cape, Bandai Namco included a wooden, carved portrait of Malenia, a map of the Lands Between, and best of all, a whole-ass sword. While we’ve not got anything for scale in the picture, it does seem to be spanning most of a bed, so it’s not tiny, by any means.
Also included is a special note from Bandai Namco, complete with a fun doodle of the legend’s scantily clad Tarnished. I’m sure we can all agree that they definitely deserve it - thank you for your service, LetMeSoloHer.
