Elden Ring Player Uncovers Method to Defeat Messmer Flawlessly

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

An Elden Ring enthusiast has embarked on an ambitious, arguably impossible, feat: daily hitless victories over the formidable Messmer boss until the release of the upcoming co-op spin-off, Nightreign. This self-imposed challenge, initiated on December 16th, 2024, underscores the enduring popularity of Elden Ring and the anticipation surrounding Nightreign, announced surprisingly at The Game Awards 2024.

Elden Ring, celebrated for its intricate world and demanding yet rewarding combat, continues to captivate players even as its third anniversary approaches. The game's open-world design and unforgiving difficulty have cemented its place in gaming history, leading to a wave of creative and challenging player-driven content. The upcoming Nightreign, a co-op focused expansion, adds another layer of excitement to the already vibrant Elden Ring community.

YouTuber chickensandwich420 is the player behind this grueling undertaking. Their commitment involves not only daily battles with Messmer, one of the most challenging bosses from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, but also achieving a flawless "hitless" victory each time. While hitless runs are common within the FromSoftware community, the sheer repetition of this challenge transforms it into a testament to endurance and skill.

The FromSoftware experience is inextricably linked to these challenging self-imposed runs. Players consistently push boundaries, devising incredibly difficult tasks, from hitless boss fights to complete no-damage playthroughs of entire game catalogs. The rich lore and intricate boss designs of FromSoftware games inspire this creativity, promising a surge of new challenges upon Nightreign's release.

The announcement of Nightreign was unexpected, contradicting previous statements by FromSoftware that Shadow of the Erdtree would conclude Elden Ring's content. Nightreign, however, offers a compelling new direction, extending the Elden Ring universe with a focus on cooperative gameplay. While a precise release date remains unannounced, a 2025 launch is anticipated.
