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

Elden Ring Fan's Epic Endurance Test: A Hitless Messmer Daily Until Nightreign

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

The announcement of Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024 surprised many, given FromSoftware's previous statements regarding the conclusion of Elden Ring's content with the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. However, Nightreign promises a fresh approach, focusing on cooperative gameplay within the beloved Elden Ring universe.

YouTuber chickensandwich420, the player behind this monumental feat, is tackling Messmer, a boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC known for its brutal difficulty. While hitless boss runs are common within the FromSoftware community, the sheer repetition of this daily challenge transforms it into a test of unwavering dedication and skill.

This relentless pursuit of a hitless Messmer victory highlights the enduring appeal of Elden Ring and the creativity of its fanbase. The game's complex combat and intricate world design continue to inspire incredibly challenging self-imposed runs, a testament to its lasting impact on the gaming landscape. The anticipation for Nightreign only fuels this passion, promising even more opportunities for innovative and demanding challenge runs in the future. The exact release date for Nightreign remains unannounced, but its arrival in 2025 is eagerly awaited.
