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 single day, until the release of the upcoming co-op spin-off, Elden Ring: Nightreign. This ambitious undertaking began on December 16, 2024, and will continue until Nightreign's 2025 launch.
The surprise announcement of 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, however, promises a fresh take on the beloved world with a co-op focus.
The player, YouTuber chickensandwich420, is tackling Messmer, a formidable boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, known for its punishing difficulty. While hitless runs are common within the FromSoftware community, the sheer repetition of this daily challenge transforms it into an impressive test of skill and endurance.
Elden Ring's enduring popularity continues to inspire creative and demanding challenges. The game's intricate world and challenging combat system fuel this trend, with players pushing their limits in countless ways. The upcoming release of Nightreign will undoubtedly spark even more inventive gameplay feats.
The anticipation surrounding Nightreign is palpable. While a precise release date remains unconfirmed, the game is slated for a 2025 release, making chickensandwich420's challenge a marathon of skill and dedication. This player's commitment serves as a testament to Elden Ring's enduring appeal and the boundless creativity of its fanbase.
