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

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

An Elden Ring enthusiast has embarked on an ambitious, arguably impossible, challenge: defeating the notoriously difficult Messmer boss daily without taking a single hit, and continuing this feat until the release of the upcoming co-op spin-off, Nightreign. This 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 ignited excitement within the community, especially considering FromSoftware's previous statements suggesting Shadow of the Erdtree would conclude Elden Ring's content. This new title, focused on co-op gameplay, offers a fresh perspective on the beloved world and characters.

YouTuber chickensandwich420 is the dedicated player behind this grueling challenge. Their commitment to a "hitless" run of Messmer, a boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC known for its extreme difficulty, showcases the dedication of the Elden Ring fanbase. While hitless runs are common within the FromSoftware community, the sheer repetition of this daily task transforms the challenge into a significant test of endurance.

This feat perfectly exemplifies the spirit of challenge runs within the FromSoftware gaming experience. Players consistently devise incredibly difficult self-imposed limitations, pushing the boundaries of gameplay. The intricate world design and challenging boss encounters of Elden Ring fuel this creativity, promising even more inventive challenge runs once Nightreign arrives.

While Nightreign lacks a precise release date, its 2025 launch is anticipated. This co-op focused spin-off continues the Elden Ring legacy, defying earlier statements from the developers. The wait for Nightreign's release will undoubtedly be filled with anticipation, and the progress of chickensandwich420's daily Messmer conquest will provide a captivating side story for fans.
