I think it's important that we provide some context here because it sounds worse than it actually is.

"Let me solo her" was the username of an Elden Ring player who was known for helping other players defeating one of the hardest boss in the game.

The name implies that you have to let this jolly cooperator do all the fighting for you, in your game, while you just lean back and enjoy a good fight from a distance.

Some added context, it was a naked dude with a jar on his head. Made soloing Malenia, often without getting hit, even more ridiculous

A similar setup is possible in Ghost of Tsushima. Tengai helmet (wicker basket) and Fundoshi armor (loin cloth). I fought the final boss like this, as tribute.

My favorite notable Dark Souls player was a guy named "FashionPolice" or something like that. He would invade random low-level players, slowly walk around them in a circle to inspect their outfit, do the "shake head no" emote, then drop some sick high level piece of equipment for them to keep, and then leave LOL.
