Like many FromSoftware titles, the community surroundingElden Ringis still massive and deeply dedicated, with the addictive replayability and deep lore of the title still being so conducive to fan-led discussion and debate.

The story of Let Me Solo Her quickly became the stuff of legends within theElden Ringcommunity, creating a lasting legacy that is echoed throughout the gaming space to this day. One of the many Easter eggs of the recently releasedKingdom Come: Deliverance 2makes a direct reference to Let Me Solo Her’s legacy, and it only seems right that this is taken a step further. The upcomingElden Ring Nightreignhas predictably drawn huge amounts of attention and revamped certain circles of the FromSoftware community, and the project seems like a perfect match for a Let Me Solo Her Easter egg of its own.

The Community Spirit of Let Me Solo Her Could Be Key to a Nightreign Reference
With there clearly being such a long-lasting legacy of Let Me Solo Her that is echoing across the industry, it seems remiss that there has not yet been a direct official reference to the player within a FromSoftware project.

There is a wide range of ways that this reference could potentially be made inElden Ring Nightreign, even something as simple as a nod to the figure in a weapon or summon description, being a great way for FromSoftware to bridge the gap between itself and the community. With the spirit and memory of Let Me Solo Her being so clearly alive all these years later, an official reference to the figure seems like it needs to happen, andthe co-op-centric gameplay ofElden Ring Nightreignseems like a match made in heaven for this to finally become a reality.
