Elden Ring Player Takes on Messmer Daily Until Nightreign

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

An Elden Ring enthusiast has embarked on an extraordinary challenge: defeating the notoriously difficult Messmer boss without taking a single hit, every day, 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 2025 launch.

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 new title, however, promises a fresh take on the beloved world, focusing on cooperative gameplay.

Elden Ring, celebrating its third anniversary, continues to captivate players worldwide. Its intricate world and demanding yet rewarding combat system redefined FromSoftware's success. While retaining the core mechanics of previous titles, Elden Ring's unforgiving open world provided unprecedented freedom. The anticipation surrounding Elden Ring's release was immense, and the excitement shows no signs of waning with Nightreign on the horizon.

YouTuber chickensandwich420 is documenting this incredible feat. Consistently achieving a hitless victory against Messmer, a formidable boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, is a testament to skill and perseverance. While hitless runs are common within the FromSoftware community, the sheer duration of this challenge transforms it into an endurance test.

The Elden Ring community thrives on challenge runs, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Players regularly devise incredibly difficult tasks, from hitless boss fights to completing entire games without taking damage. One player even managed a flawless run through the entire FromSoftware game catalog! Nightreign's release is sure to inspire even more creative and demanding challenges.

Nightreign's arrival remains shrouded in mystery, with no concrete release date beyond a 2025 window. This unexpected sequel offers a unique opportunity to further explore the world and characters of Elden Ring, emphasizing cooperative adventures. The YouTuber's daily struggle against Messmer serves as a fitting tribute to the game's enduring appeal and a countdown to the arrival of its cooperative successor.
