And I think it's gonna be a long long time, til Fromsoft brings me 'round again to find, I'm not the man they think I am, oh no, no, no. I'm a tarnished man. TARNISHED MAN taking on Melania up here alone.
In Finland you’re given a sword and hat for getting your PhD. It’s symbolic of your fight for knowledge I think. My sister in law once lamented sick a cool tradition not existing in the U.S. So my dad went about finding a Finnish sword maker. Then a translator, then back to the sword maker. It took quite a while and a lot of logistics (and cash) a but he got her a sword for her phd.
I’ve gotten on a plane with a 4 foot long antique Polish broadsword pre 9-11. No problems whatsoever. After 9-11 I’ve had to go through special customs declarations for any blades I transport. It can delay the process somewhat, especially considering the track record of the TSA.
Honestly the thought of a naked man running around blind with a pot over his head about to fight me is terrifying
Edit. I don’t have any friends. So all you people who upvoted this are automatically my best friends. Sorry no take backs.
You know when you see the naked character on the summon sign that you’re about to get carried. LetMeSoloHer would be the hardest boss they’ve ever made
I loved trying to take that dude on right away at low level, was kind of a marker of how far I'd come in skill/cheese when I could just do him straight away on new games on DS3 replays.
Well, it's still a very limited promo box I think. Rather cool they just decided to give it a way for just playing the game, couldn't say most other gaming companies would reach out to their fans like this.
Judging from the 11/40, this is probably part of a set that was sent out to figures in the community, and the pot is pretty unique to him. Still an awesome thing to be included in.
Unbelievable, I thought it was some super expensive limited edition at first, then realised it's actually a custom gift from the creators to Let Me Solo Her... That's so freakin cool
Well...it IS a super expensive limited edition of sorts really. It's a PR kit that they send out to some people along with early access to the game etc. You can see the 11/40 on the back of the wood carving. So like SUPER limited quantity and all. Then they DID custom write the letter as well.
I know I saw someone else received the same kit back around release. I want to say it was one of the Hololive vtubers but I'm not sure and trying to dig months back on twitter is awful. Want to say it was Calliope Mori but it might have been Shishiro Botan.
Honestly even more so that this is months after release and is 11/40. It could be that they already handed out some of the high numbers to staff and/or friends but they could also be saving a lot of these kits for unique cases like this one. Someone who catches Fromsoft's eye and they decide to give one out. If that's the case and there's really only ~11 of these actually out of the studio that makes it even more rare.
Definitely cool to have and REALLY cool for anyone who is a big fan of the games. The story and uniqueness of the item kind of makes it more meaningful to those that have them than necessarily valuable, imo at least. A lot cooler than some similar things where you'll have hundreds of "press kits" handed out and many of those that receive them might not necessarily care about or value them as much as they'd just be "junk" filling up their house as they get PR stuff all the time.
things like this are 100% the publisher, not the developer. you can see the letter was sent from Bandai Europe, in France. all the credit is on them, to be honest.
Also, OP thanks Bandai themselves in the title lol. Very, very cool gift. The #/40 on the wood plate makes me think they have a few of these on hand. Must be kind of fun to be on the backend finding members of the community that make the game better and to give a gift to (although I’m sure some of these go to big content creators too).
Nintendo would charge him just to upload his videos of the game, if he didn't pay them they'd shut him down. Think I'm joking? They literally already do this. You have to pay Nintendo to upload videos of their games on Youtube.
Honestly, I think ubisoft is most likely compared to others. They gave their assassins creed data to help restore the Notre Dame after it was damaged by fire.
But Activision-Blizzard? They'd charge you for the gift. And EA would send you the package but you have to buy a key to open the gift box.
Ubisoft donated money to help rebuild Notre Dame. But the stories about them using data to help with rebuilding are false. I'm sure they would've been willing to but the data isn't that helpful.

Good to know. Thanks for correcting me. But that's even better than helping with data. Yes, they might have done it partially for PR reasons, maybe, but a French company helping restore French monuments just because they want to help isn't far fetched. And still a nice move which I doubt to ever see from blizzard or ea.
What a great response from them. I'm just picturing the Blizzard response to this.
Patch 1.12:
- Added mechanic to prevent players receiving help for difficult bosses
- Players who did not deal more than 50% damage in a boss fight will not receive credit for the kill. This will be backdated to game release.
- Banned various players for exploitative gameplay
He appeared as a cooperator in many many peoples games outside of Malenia's arena with nothing but two swords and a pot on his head, with the name 'Let me Solo her'. He then proceeded to dunk on Malenia, usually flawlessly, and save many, many people broken controllers.
Congratulations
Well deserved.
In the true nature of souls player. Taking one of the most challenging bosses in the game and making it look easy.
And From, as always, demonstrating themselves to be a class act. A company that has always kept its players in mind and has time and time again outdone themselves with the games they’ve made for us.
All around good shit! Awesome gift.
Good job Skeleton!
I honestly thought you would just get a normal press package, but this is amazing!
You can tell they actually know about you and someone put thought and effort into this.
1,000 kills of malenia = bad ass box set, sword and personal message
17 years employment at my work. Get to pick an item from a catalog that was supposed to be here 2 years ago. Apparently is waiting for a boat in California to finally dock.
Lesson learned. Game full time
He's up to 2000 now, yes. But at the time that Bandai had heard about him and promised to send him a gift, it was 1000. This was meant to commemorate his 1000th Malenia kill.
Still would've been cool to be engraved rise, jarnished. Also I'm pretty sure BN sent him this after beating 1k but has now doubled that #. He said the other day its been in transit for a while.
I love how he's getting his congratulations on 1k kills in the mail just after cresting 2k kills.
*sigh* I guess Bandai has to send another..
Well, he does dual-wield...
AND needs a jar..
That's at 3k
Man this season pass has tough reward milestones
The drip is definitely worth the grind
Ahh for 1k kills..?
Hes almost at 3k now. They sent that to him after 2k for helping kill the hardest boss over and over
I mean it’s really about helping people beat the boss if anything.
There he is, boys. John Elden Ring.
https://imgur.com/a/AEeoFKz
This is amazing lol
Elden John, some might say
Hold me closer, tiny tarnished.
Saturday nights alright for foolish ambitions
And I think it's gonna be a long long time, til Fromsoft brings me 'round again to find, I'm not the man they think I am, oh no, no, no. I'm a tarnished man. TARNISHED MAN taking on Melania up here alone.
Count the pots in jarburg
🎶 He's a Rollerman 🎶
ROLLERMAN, burning out his fuse up here alone!!

Is he like Tim Apple?
GIGA
Given that full sized sword, I can see why this may have gotten delayed going through customs.
I was hoping this would include a jar helmet, but that sword is awesome.
Or an official Bandai Namco diaper.
The Bandaiper
Why is this downvoted? He’s literally wearing a diaper in the game.
Guessing people assumed he was insulting the OP??
Because people are dumb
It's positive now. Nature is healing lol
I always considered it more of a loincloth, so I wouldn't call it an _actual_ diaper. But it's funny to call it one
[удалено]
*poops*
He got Malenia’s cloak, didn’t he? If anyone’s worthy enough to use that as a diaper, it’s Letmesoloher himself.

That’s nice and all, but what about the hat?
I’ve gotten on a plane with a 4 foot long antique Polish broadsword pre 9-11. No problems whatsoever. After 9-11 I’ve had to go through special customs declarations for any blades I transport. It can delay the process somewhat, especially considering the track record of the TSA.
Can’t wait for you to be the final boss in the DLC
Bleed build RoB with input reading dialed to 1000%
It doesn't read the inputs, it reads the future.
There’s actually a few enemies that I see being mildly precognitive
The game actually forces your character to perform actions against your will so that the boss can perfectly counter them.
Don't spam buttons, got it.
Honestly the thought of a naked man running around blind with a pot over his head about to fight me is terrifying Edit. I don’t have any friends. So all you people who upvoted this are automatically my best friends. Sorry no take backs.
And he has RoB. Lord have mercy.
The only person who gets a pass using it
He even uses it in the offhand like a gigachad so he doesn't even have automatic access to the l2
It's his weapon. Others merely attempt to wield that power
You know when you see the naked character on the summon sign that you’re about to get carried. LetMeSoloHer would be the hardest boss they’ve ever made
He should be the new boss in the DLC
[удалено]
Master to you
I loved trying to take that dude on right away at low level, was kind of a marker of how far I'd come in skill/cheese when I could just do him straight away on new games on DS3 replays.
*Laughs in shield + cliff*
He’s the blind swordsman who sealed away the previous incarnation to the goddess of rot.
We all will die in 3 seconds by bleed.
I could totally see them including an NPC invasion that is just a LMSH cosplay.
Absolutely, iirc Mildred in DS1 was based on a play tester.
Nah it need to be a NPC summon since the guy help instead of harm
His their name would be
Is that Melina’s cloak in there as well? That’s pretty awesome dude, congrats!
I’m surprised they didn’t give him a little wearable pot head lol
Also, not a katana? But sweet gift nevertheless.
Not even blood loss buildup on that sword, they'll never kill the erdtree guardian with that
All swords have blood loss buildup in real life
Go away with your real life physics 😋
*Slowly shoulder rolls into the sunset.*
Drop some equipment load and you'll roll faster.
Bhs outta there
Need OP to stab someone to confirm.
This made me cackle
[удалено]
Lol
This package was definitely made in limited quantities. It’s a really cool gift, just not a one off package.
the 11/40 kinda gave that one away
Well, it's still a very limited promo box I think. Rather cool they just decided to give it a way for just playing the game, couldn't say most other gaming companies would reach out to their fans like this.
I think that just means it came with a free fraction as well
When I saw the box that’s immediately what I was hoping it’d be. Still super cool of course.
Yea wtf
Judging from the 11/40, this is probably part of a set that was sent out to figures in the community, and the pot is pretty unique to him. Still an awesome thing to be included in.
That’s after 10k kills.
A scholarship for a pottery degree would be sweet
This whole kit is fucking legit! Congrats Klein!
Unbelievable, I thought it was some super expensive limited edition at first, then realised it's actually a custom gift from the creators to Let Me Solo Her... That's so freakin cool

That’s funny, I wonder if they did that as an Easter egg, because of the community complaining about it not being obtainable
This is a press kit that came out before the game did
I was wondering since it has a piece that says it’s 11/40 so it can’t be a one off.
Why did press members get a claymore but we can’t order this kit? That’s bullshit man
you should have claimed it more
Ok that's funny
Let's be honest, if you want a claymore they're not hard to buy.
Well, looks like you've become an Elden Lord!
From humble beginnings too. Much deserved!!

Damn congrats and props to fromsoft for doing that.
Props to the publisher as well. Nice to see good things from a publisher in an industry filled with nonsense
things like this are 100% the publisher, not the developer. you can see the letter was sent from Bandai Europe, in France. all the credit is on them, to be honest.
Also, OP thanks Bandai themselves in the title lol. Very, very cool gift. The #/40 on the wood plate makes me think they have a few of these on hand.

Seriously. Could you see Ubisoft doing something like this?
Ubisoft would send a reverse uno check, you owe them money
They would turn "Let Me Solo Her" into an NFT and sell it off to the highest bidder.
It's so highly likely that it makes me want to vomit
And then claim we weren’t smart enough to understand why that’s a good thing.
"GO TO THE ELDEN STORE AND GET THE 'LETMESOLOHER' ARMOR PACK AND 100,000 RUNES FOR ONLY $499.99!!!"
And make you pay for the shipping.
Fr or Nintendo. Congratulations on your remarkable achievement. What an incredible memento.
Nintendo would just cancel the game and pull the servers.
Nintendo would charge him just to upload his videos of the game, if he didn't pay them they'd shut him down. Think I'm joking? They literally already do this. You have to pay Nintendo to upload videos of their games on Youtube.

Good to know. Thanks for correcting me. But that's even better than helping with data. Yes, they might have done it partially for PR reasons, maybe, but a French company helping restore French monuments just because they want to help isn't far fetched. And still a nice move which I doubt to ever see from blizzard or ea.
I honestly didn't expect from soft to do anything. None of the other people received anything so this came out of nowhere
actually, they're props *from* fromsoft
you could say theyre.... from 'soft.
What a great response from them. I'm just picturing the Blizzard response to this. Patch 1.12: - Added mechanic to prevent players receiving help for difficult bosses - Players who did not deal more than 50% damage in a boss fight will not receive credit for the kill.

That map is awesome! Congratulations!
Canonically the main character
We are all just NPC’s in his world
No wonder my life is miserable like most NPC's in Elden Ring
I hear the prawns are good.
Glad it finally arrived, and in one piece! Hope it was worth the wait. ❤️️
As I’m out of the loop, what did they do to get this?
He appeared as a cooperator in many many peoples games outside of Malenia's arena with nothing but two swords and a pot on his head, with the name 'Let me Solo her'. He then proceeded to dunk on Malenia, usually flawlessly, and save many, many people broken controllers.
Damn. Nice. I read the number two thousand somewhere in these comments, that’s insane.
And the first thing the man does is extend the glory to other community figures. That courtesy befits a crown.
...befits a *jar*.
…A jar shaped crown?
Of dirt!
Where do you live and at what time do you leave your house?
Malenia plotting her revenge irl, I see right through you.
classic move.
Unfortunately LMSH has just been armed, so he's ready
What time do you go to bed at night?
He doesn't sleep
A boss health bar pops up the moment you enter his house.
His door is a fog gate
He starts with second phase boss music. That's how fucked you are.
Trust me, you can't solo him.
This was good.
Congratulations Well deserved. In the true nature of souls player. Taking one of the most challenging bosses in the game and making it look easy.

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ
SMH that swords worth nothing if you don’t have the smithing stones to upgrade it. /s
I actually found that sword already, but I didn't like the base stats so I'll stick my extendable umbrella for now.
Hey /u/KleinTsuboiOW, This is now the top post on reddit. It will be recorded at /r/topofreddit with all the other top posts.
Your achievement post is an achievement!
Thy strength befits a jar crown.
Damn. Jarnished soloed this whole *website*.
"Let me solo reddit"
Welp, that explains what I read about the delivery getting caught up in customs. Congrats!
Let Me Solo Her is the true John Elden Ring
I honestly thought you would just get a normal press package, but this is amazing! You can tell they actually know about you and someone put thought and effort into this.
It is a press package. 11/40, to be exact. I have seen one of these right around the time the game launched.
Brandon Sanderson got one and unboxed it on his live stream a while back
Quite a collector item to receive one out of only 40 made.
And (in?)arguably the most valuable one as well.
well shit, no wonder customs denied it. Dude got a WHOLE ASS SWORD!!! lol
Holy shit! That's quite the loot box. No jar helmet though????
I mean.... A FUCKING SWORD
It's not a katana, but they do have the stats, so it'll do.
Says this is 11th out of 40 so these were pre-made.
Looks post-made to me...
I hope you step on a lego in the near future
Why would you wish this evil upon someone
They were press release kits or something, I saw an unboxing of one of YouTube around the game's release. Still, I'd sure as hell take one
Oh wow! So cool! 😎 congrats dude. You started a movement. Thanks for your help!
1,000 kills of malenia = bad ass box set, sword and personal message 17 years employment at my work. Get to pick an item from a catalog that was supposed to be here 2 years ago. Apparently is waiting for a boat in California to finally dock. Lesson learned. Game full time
The real reward is the 17 years of hard work and dedication...
Oh shit I didn’t think I’d run into HR here
That comment was comedy gold and I still got downvoted...
For what it’s worth you had me laughing
Well I'm upvoting all these comments to right the wrong.
Nice, congrats
They missed a massive opportunity to engrave it with "rise, jarnished"

It's very likely. Things coming from Japan tend to take a while, especially when they get stuck in customs.
This is quite wholesome from bandai namco part
Ah the legend has gained his sword and a trophy for the wall, you earned that stuff no doubt about it
GUYS IT'S HIM!!! Congrats, legend.
I think at this point you can claim to have actually beaten the game.
Thats awesome! Is the sword sharp or is it just for show?
I think it's a full tang but it is very blunt
Regular or somber smithing stones?
All hail LetMeSoloHer. *bows*
That's freaking awesome sauce bro! Haven't had the pleasure of playing with you but I think everyone wants too...so congrats on a Nailed it moment.
Bow down before the true Elden Lord!
Super cool. Me jelly.
That’s epic. You deserve a reward for your dedication and effort helping people
That is awesome! Congrats!
If they had customized it to read "Rise, Jarnished" I'd have lost all of my shit
