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

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 against the formidable Messmer boss until the release of the upcoming co-op spin-off, Elden Ring: Nightreign. This self-imposed challenge, initiated on December 16th, 2024, underscores the enduring popularity of Elden Ring and the community's boundless creativity.

The surprise announcement of Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024, following previous statements suggesting Shadow of the Erdtree would be the final Elden Ring DLC, has ignited further excitement. This co-op focused title, slated for a 2025 release, offers a unique continuation of the Elden Ring universe.

YouTuber chickensandwich420, the dedicated player behind this monumental undertaking, is tackling Messmer, a notoriously difficult boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, without taking a single hit each day. While hitless boss runs are common within the FromSoftware community, the sheer repetition of this challenge transforms it into a grueling test of endurance.

This endeavor perfectly encapsulates the spirit of FromSoftware challenge runs. The intricate boss designs and expansive world of Elden Ring inspire players to devise increasingly difficult self-imposed rules, pushing the boundaries of gameplay. The anticipation for Nightreign's release only fuels the intensity of such challenges. The exact release date for Nightreign remains unconfirmed, but its arrival in 2025 is eagerly awaited.
