Elden Ring Player Dominates Messmer Undamaged for Nightreign

Elden Ring Fan's Epic Endurance: A Hitless Messmer Daily Until Nightreign

An Elden Ring enthusiast has embarked on a seemingly Herculean task: consistently defeating the notoriously difficult Messmer boss without taking a single hit, and repeating this feat daily until the release of the upcoming co-op spin-off, Elden Ring: Nightreign. This ambitious undertaking began on December 16, 2024.

The surprise announcement of Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024 contradicted previous statements from FromSoftware, who had declared Shadow of the Erdtree the final Elden Ring expansion. However, Nightreign's focus on co-op gameplay offers a compelling new chapter for the beloved franchise, slated for release sometime in 2025.

This player, YouTuber chickensandwich420, is leveraging this wait to showcase their skill and dedication. Messmer, a formidable boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, presents a significant challenge even for seasoned players. A hitless victory is a considerable accomplishment in itself, but the daily repetition until Nightreign's launch transforms this into a grueling test of perseverance.

The Elden Ring community is renowned for its creative and demanding challenge runs. From hitless boss battles to complete no-damage playthroughs of entire FromSoftware games, players consistently push the boundaries of difficulty. This latest endeavor perfectly embodies the spirit of this dedicated fanbase, adding another layer of anticipation for the arrival of Nightreign. The game's unique world and boss designs continue to inspire increasingly complex and impressive challenges.

The anticipation surrounding Nightreign remains high, with no official release date yet announced. This fan's daily struggle against Messmer serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Elden Ring and the excitement surrounding its continued evolution.
