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: consistently defeating the notoriously difficult Messmer boss without taking a single hit, and repeating this daily until the release of the upcoming co-op spin-off, Nightreign. This self-imposed trial 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 generated significant excitement, especially given FromSoftware's previous statements suggesting Shadow of the Erdtree would be the final Elden Ring expansion. This new title, focusing on co-op gameplay, offers a compelling continuation of the Elden Ring universe.

YouTuber chickensandwich420 is documenting this incredible feat. The challenge isn't just about defeating Messmer repeatedly; it's about achieving a flawless, hitless victory each time. Messmer, a boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, is known for its punishing difficulty, making a hitless run an extreme test of skill and endurance. While hitless runs are common within the FromSoftware community, the sheer volume of attempts required for this challenge elevates it to a new level of dedication.

A Testament to Elden Ring's Enduring Appeal

Elden Ring's third anniversary is fast approaching, yet its popularity remains undiminished. The game's unique blend of challenging combat and a richly detailed open world continues to captivate players. This enduring appeal is reflected in the creative and demanding self-imposed challenges undertaken by its dedicated fanbase.

The innovative challenge runs within the FromSoftware community are a testament to the games' design. Players consistently push boundaries, creating incredibly difficult scenarios, such as completing entire game series without taking damage. Nightreign's release will undoubtedly inspire even more imaginative and demanding challenges.

Nightreign's release date remains unconfirmed, but its arrival in 2025 is anticipated. This co-op focused spin-off promises a fresh perspective on the Elden Ring world, allowing players to experience the game's lore and characters in a new collaborative way. Until then, chickensandwich420's daily battle against Messmer continues, a remarkable demonstration of both skill and unwavering commitment to the Elden Ring community.
