Since i see allot of people asking my build i will put the answer here. My build in the video is black knife, deaths poker, and maliketh's black blade. Stats are all 80 except vigor that is 98

"let them solo her"

“I beat elden ring”

There's staying back and being less aggressive so you dont die, and then there's this...

ah yes the "elden ring is the easiest souls game" classic

Bro really tucked himself in a bed, yawned, and asked you to wake him up when you're done

Bro had lusats staff equipped and couldn't even spam spells from a distance.

I would've equipped a greatshield and let Malenia heal back up, then leave

You know, I can’t say I soloed Elden Ring like I did DS3 and BB. But you bet your ass I was in the trenches with my brothers 💪

There no shame in summing other people, but when you literally do absolutely nothing it’s different

now this is this maidenless behavior, good that you left him

"Solo her yourself"

I had a host that did this on the lion dancer boss so when it was close to death I just stopped helping and it killed them

"I dont get why people say this is a hard game"

Had this with promised consort 😂 At about 40% health I was like “why is he’s still attacking only me?” And looked around to find the host by the fog gate with binoculars out… left immediately

you made the right call

The Host looked like the type of build to do that type of maidenless behaviour

That's when you wip out the greatshield and let her heal back to full

Some dude did the same to me once. One of the few cases I used finger severer

In DS2-3 I got so tired of getting summoned for boss fights where the host would die when I was just trying to get embered or get free souls that I thought "I don't care if all you do is literally run, your job is to not die" and I was glad if they did so, I can handle the boss. In Elden Ring it's different. Literally just yesterday I was putting my sign down for the swamp mansion boss (don't wanna spoil what it is) because I was struggling against him. First boss in the DLC so far that was giving me trouble so I was practicing this way against him so I could learn his moveset faster, and I land on this host *with a greatshield tank build* who summons only me and then proceeded to stay back the whole time. Meanwhile I'm struggling and idk how he can't freaking tell, but still he does nothing and eventually I ran out of flasks and he just let me die. Then ofc I see him die to the boss while dead before the session even ended. All you could've done is just walk forward with your greatshield and wait, stay safe, draw a grand total of 30 seconds of aggro. Apparently freaking not. I don't have as much incentive to "win" in Elden Ring co-op anymore because I don't feel I get as much out of it as in DS games. Now I just do it for fun, so yeah, if I run into players like these now, I leave. These guys piggy back on us then turn around and say "Malenia was easy"

I've gotten a lot of hosts like this, it honestly makes me conflicted: I know for certain I can kill Malenia with no sweat, so the host not fucking the fight up is nice. However, the sheer amount of people that just think they can win for free without doing anything is crazy, baffling sometimes

welp that is the most laziest person in elden ring

Yeah, he WOULD be named Twinku. Oddly fitting name.

This made me laugh so hard. He took a nap right by the door.

My bro let someone solo the dlc final boss for him and he was in the discord like “LETS FUCKING GOOOO” i was baffled. I mean i felt bad enough using the antspur fingerprint stone shield cheese but some people really have no shame lmao.

Would have thrown a frenzied flame stone, heal Malenia and then draw Malenia next to them before leaving.

Solo radagon by myself before I noticed the host was hiding but I thought he just backed up to heal. Watched as in elden beast bro ran immediately and hid, so I went up, pointed down, and left. Bro has all his flasks im sure he did fine 🙂

Pure Maidenless behaviour

Appropriate. I'll never understand why sheep even bother spending almost a hundred dollars on games just to do absolutely nothing or be braindead cheesy other than to maybe feel a sliver of worth? The only time I ever sat back in a boss fight was the Kos Parasite in Bloodborne, and that's only because I was at half hp, out of vials, out of silver and the person that came to help me was trying their damned hardest after we got it to half hp. So I just did my best to survive and not sully their efforts. Thank you legendary hunter, wherever you are now.

warranted as fuck, if youre just gonna sit there and watch the boss die, why even play?

You can tell when a host has never praised the sun before.

Meanwhile, I was helping a newbie on Margit with my new char, and we lost just barely one time with like a sliver of hp left, but he ended up calling me again and we had an epic fight where we absolutely obliteratd Margit as I only got hit once lol

I did this not too long ago. I was helping people with the sunflower boss. And during the 2nd phase I noticed that the phantom was hacking because he took absolutely no damage from the big aoe explosion the boss does and so I just left.

I hate when I am summoned as a hunter and the host throws out "honor" like the mechanic is I'm here to help, not do the work for you

Game journalist mode

i’ve had this happen before with morgott. i just lured the boss to the host and got him killed

Then you have the cases of people summoning you and literally stand still

There’s a lot you can learn about people from how they play souls games, and this was just mad entitled icl😭🙏

I've seen this kind of behavior while invading. Some hosts will run all the way back to the grace and leave the co-op phantoms to fight me. Then when the phantoms die they just summon someone else. I always wonder why the co-op phantoms even bother when the host isn't willing to play the game.

Law of regression goes so fucking hard here, trust

Oh you just know he unsummones the 2nd guy when Malenia was 1 shot away, then took last 5-10s and recorded it to post on reddit or sm

Look, I'm someone who is happy to solo, but my name will SAY that I'm happy to solo. I mean you don't even have to attack, recently I was helping people out with the dlc's final boss and the host just kept shooting the Heal From Afar spell anytime I got hit. Even being 100% passive is viable, just be helpful

Yikes. Can’t say I blame you.

Listen, I summoned a "Let me Solo Her" player when I first fought Melenia, so I knew what kind of contract I was getting into, it was in the name, afterall. But I didn't see any contract here. I could accept hanging back and playing defensively too, you are the host afterall, and if you die, the fight ends for everyone. However, I still expect you to be a part of the fight, pulling agro when you can. Even just casting healing spells are a great help mid-fight if you can, and at least you are trying to help.

I was playing with a friend of mine and were doing Melania in hos ng+2 and were summoning for fun. He uses gamertags and I use character names for multiplayer. He summoned someone and I informed him he summoned "sit and watch". So we did. I don't think he was prepared for what he was walking into though.

I had a summon decide to do this to me, kicked him right before she died

I had a host do this once on Melania, and both i and the other summon stood behind him and let Melania do her thing

when I fall back it's because I had to heal and rebuff then get back to the battle asap. Maybe start casting spells or heal spamming my teamates.

I would have left too. There are a few cases where, as a summon, I've stepped back and sat on the side lines because another summon decided to solo Malenia (and it was in their name). The only other time I'll leave hosts is for fight clubs (not interested) and a host that doesn't learn how to fight or share hate with their summons after 3 tries. Running into the boss head-on, just because you have a summoned person, and getting 2-shot multiple times is just a waste of everyone's time.

Bro was taking a tan while you guys went to war.

Honestly I prefer the host doing this rather than dying to waterfowl dance like they do 98% of the time.

Having the host do nothing after summoning 2 people is more infuriating than having the host be aggressive with you and die. Despite having the same outcome, you can still see that the host tries on the second scenario.

"elden ring is soo easy"

I’ve had this happen to me and he even kicked me out with the boss having 2 hits left in him I guess to make it look like he beat it themself lmfaooo 😭💀

I'm petty, I'd stop attacking and waste their time as much as possible. Depending on the character I'm playing, just pull up a greatshield and block forever.

There are 3 types of people that summon: 1: legitimately just needs some help with a hard boss/area. 2: someone who needs to get their head checked w/ how horrendously bad they are. They will die within 5 seconds (this is not an exaggeration, 4/10 people I help will die before I even enter the fog gate.) 3: people who let you play the game for them then go on twitter and clown everyone who says a boss is hard. For an extra: People who could easily beat the boss on their own, but are just lazy, I dont mind these people, its nice to fight w/ someone capable of playing the game.

Whilst the fetid pot had the stronger symbolic meaning, chasing the host with frenzyflame stones could've been fun too.

i had a summon beat malenia for me solo, and to my absolute amazement the legend that was "MALENIA'S CROTCH" managed to spend 99% of the fight not taking damage until literally the final few seconds of her second phase, and they still got the win. i then ran up to them, did the elden ring equivalent of giving them a big wet kiss (just kind of weirdly bowing in their general direction) but at least i was _present_ for it, and all credit to that person for not only doing a solo run while i fearfully ran orbits from a distance, but i was cocking _invested_ in the whole thing for the record the only other boss i've summoned for so far (co-op summons, ashes i abuse to hell and back unabashedly) is Mohg, which i even called a Discord friend up for to try and help, but i ended up beating him solo anyway after i realised that doing co-op was just buffing his health, so... whoops. so, y'know. it kind of balances out edit: i also read further down the comments that this host apparently _summoned you back three times_, what the hell?! at least have the shame to never summon that person again if they don't flawlessly solo the boss like you wanted-

their kind are all of a piece, pillagers emboldened by the flame of laziness. i hope that host nevwr beats malenia >:/

Could be just me, but anytime I put down my summon sign, I have the intention of soloing the boss for people that are stuck on whatever it may be. I always get kinda annoyed when my flow is broken because of an aggro swap from the host poking the boss randomly.

"its not cheating if im using in-game features"

100% this is the reason there's a stigma of not Respecting what so ever players who use summons, granted there are host who cant do it aloen they need help snd will put in the effort with help, but guys like this one give all host a bad name.

"LOL, those casuls can't beat the game and they write negative reviews"

that build looks fun, and you got nice drip too!

The poison pot had me cracking up lol

Why tf did he even get the game in the first place?

Lol. A couple days ago i was helping someone with Malenia but they never told me they were at Rune Level 1 😭

Seriously dont get it, malenia is an optional boss, if youre bad and cant solo her while not also wanting to coop her, then dont do her😊

Can’t blame you, honestly don’t mind people using summons it’s a game feature but if your not even gonna help in any way- yeh bye lmao

I wouldn't really mind a host doing this with Malenia, I do enjoy fighting her alone But so many hosts I've helped cannot dodge her scarlet bloom at the start of her second phase, they just start running in one direction and she lands directly on them I try my best to agro Malenia enough but it seems to fail most of the time

This happened to me against the deathrite bird from the dlc, but in my case the other summon guy he also left me alone facing the Boss, I lured the Boss to them and sat watching them almost die before the host kicked me out

Good buddy of mine and I were on Melania for a solid few hours. This was way back when Rivers of Blood and Moonveil was op, I was shit at the game but still gave it my all. We eventually beat her and it was amazing.

i always leave if the host does that shit or if they only summon one person for a hard boss

That looks like a really cool build what is it? Int Fth str?

mf i must live under a rock bc idek u could leave the world like that

Next time use the madness warming stone

I had a host like this with elden beast and i dont mind solooing bosses to be honest but he had the disrespect to not even say thanks and the Audacity to say "i finally beat elden ring alone 🎉"

I am shit at malenia so i try not to hit her unless theres a clear opening, but even then i heal and buff my co ops this guy just walked away

Literally, .. at least change ur build to range if u want someone else to aid u, not simply letting them go alone .. unless ofcoz that person is "let me solo her"

Your build looks super fun ! Did you go with faith/int as main stats ? :)

Doesn’t malania go after the host in her second phase as her first attack?

How we go from everyone trying to do no hit runs or lvl1 runs or even speedruns in ds1 to ds3 on the regular, to the average person now literally AFK’ing in the arena. I swear whenever I do CO-OP 75% of hosts are like this now, and 25% of them get instantly one shot out the fog gate. This is in the end game bosses too such as dlc, which is crazy because they got that far without learning any of the games mechanics.

I've noticed a lot of people playing like this since the DLC dropped, sitting at a comfortable distance spamming ranged and running with their tail between their legs anytime the boss gets too close for their liking. I'm not going to sever, but I'm also not going to try if the host clearly doesn't care about helping.

If co-op has taught me anything, its to never help those who are not deserving. If you need help with malenia, you aint gonna improve if i do all the work. This is why invasions are fun

Such disrespect! You tell em, babe

I've had this happen , I just leave mid fight

i at least try to help by healing or using magic from afar (normal game 1 and dlc bosses hitting like trucks im lvl 181) still makes me feel crappy tho :c

I am long time jolly cooperator but Let Me Solo Her kind of ruined it. I see hosts like this all the time and i usually just kite the boss over to them as soon as i notice 😂😂😂😂

I have no problem if you cheese the game with op build or weapon or magic. They are all legitimate ways to kill a boss and you shouldn't be a shame but this is shameful and maiden less behavior. I'm helping random in DLC and we are fighting this boss and when I look around the host is nowhere to be found. The only way that I know where he is that the boss accidentally tracked the host while wearing Mimic Veil at the corner of the arena.

Why even play the game at this point? Just sad....

Bruh are you max leveled here? Those stat bars

Awesome video! Would you mind sharing your build?

My build is just vigor stamina and moores armor plus verdigris greatshield i tank hits and take agro but id do the same if the host wasnt helping

Really hope the other FF saw him and left too

If you’re not gonna play the game, why the hell did you spend 70 dollars on it? Weirdest players ever.

Im still learning the game. Nice vid. Dont blame ya. I would've done the same.

Valid choice

I did this with my friend, I “helped” him through most of the game without damaging the enemies, I would run to the enemies and do bad dodges and stuff without ever helping. Took until Rennalla for him to realise I hadn’t done anything 😂he’s a bit slow

Maybe it's his first time fighting her and he doesn't know there is a second phase. Haha

mfs be summoning people like theyre spirit summons. Elden ring players will complann about difficulty while not even playing the game or making a remote effort to get good
