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 extraordinary challenge: flawlessly defeating the notoriously difficult Messmer boss daily, without taking a single hit, 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 surprise announcement of Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024 sent shockwaves through the gaming community, especially considering FromSoftware's previous statements about Shadow of the Erdtree being the final Elden Ring expansion. This unexpected sequel, however, promises a fresh take on the beloved world, focusing on cooperative gameplay.

This player, YouTuber chickensandwich420, is not only maintaining a daily battle schedule but also executing a "hitless" run against Messmer, a boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC known for its brutal difficulty. While hitless runs are common in the FromSoftware community, the sheer endurance required to repeat this feat daily until Nightreign's release elevates the challenge to a whole new level.

This dedication highlights the enduring popularity of Elden Ring, three years after its initial release. The game's captivating world, challenging yet rewarding combat, and open-world freedom continue to captivate players. The community's creativity shines through in these self-imposed challenges, pushing the boundaries of gameplay and demonstrating a deep engagement with FromSoftware's unique game design. The anticipation for Nightreign is palpable, and these dedicated challenge runs only serve to heighten the excitement. While Nightreign's precise release date remains unannounced, its 2025 launch is eagerly awaited. The player's commitment to this impressive feat underscores the enduring legacy and passionate fanbase surrounding Elden Ring.
