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

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

An Elden Ring enthusiast has embarked on an extraordinary challenge: 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 2025 launch.

The surprise announcement of Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024 contradicted previous developer statements about concluding Elden Ring's content with Shadow of the Erdtree. This new title, however, offers a fresh approach, extending the Elden Ring universe with a focus on cooperative gameplay.

This player, YouTuber chickensandwich420, is tackling Messmer, a boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, known for its brutal difficulty. While hitless boss runs are common in the FromSoftware community, the sheer repetition of this daily challenge transforms it into a grueling test of endurance. The player's dedication underscores the enduring popularity of Elden Ring, three years after its release.

The game's intricate world and demanding combat continue to captivate players, inspiring countless challenge runs. These runs often involve completing games or defeating bosses without taking damage, showcasing the creativity and difficulty inherent in Elden Ring's design. The community anticipates even more inventive challenges once Nightreign arrives.

While Nightreign lacks a precise release date, its 2025 launch is highly anticipated. This co-op focused spin-off promises a new way to experience the world of Elden Ring, further extending the legacy of FromSoftware's critically acclaimed masterpiece. The YouTuber's ongoing challenge serves as a testament to the game's enduring appeal and the passionate dedication of its fanbase.
