Elden Ring Player Defeating Messmer Without Taking Damage Every Day Until Nightreign’s Release

Elden Ring Fan's Epic Challenge: A Hitless Messmer Marathon Until Nightreign

An Elden Ring enthusiast has undertaken a seemingly impossible feat: daily, hitless victories over the notoriously difficult Messmer boss, a challenge that will continue until the release of the upcoming co-op spin-off, Nightreign. This ambitious undertaking began on December 16, 2024, and will continue until Nightreign's launch in 2025.

The surprise announcement of Elden Ring: Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024 sent shockwaves through the gaming community, especially considering FromSoftware's previous statements about Shadow of the Erdtree being the final Elden Ring expansion. This unexpected sequel, focusing on co-op gameplay, keeps the Elden Ring world alive and kicking.

YouTuber chickensandwich420 is the brave soul behind this herculean effort. Consistently defeating Messmer, a notoriously challenging boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, without taking a single hit, is a testament to skill and perseverance. While hitless runs are common within the FromSoftware community, the sheer repetition of this challenge transforms it into an endurance test of epic proportions.

This marathon mirrors the spirit of countless Elden Ring challenge runs, pushing the boundaries of what's possible within the game's unforgiving world. FromSoftware's intricate level design and challenging boss fights inspire creative and demanding self-imposed challenges, a trend sure to continue with Nightreign's arrival.

The anticipation for Nightreign is palpable, with no official release date yet announced, but a 2025 launch is expected. This co-op adventure promises a fresh perspective on the Elden Ring universe, further fueling the already fervent community engagement. The player's ongoing Messmer challenge serves as a unique countdown to this highly anticipated release.
