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 undertaken an almost unbelievable feat: 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 challenge 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 suggesting Shadow of the Erdtree would be the final Elden Ring expansion. However, this new co-op focused title breathes new life into the beloved open world.

YouTuber chickensandwich420 is documenting this incredible undertaking. 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 already known for its brutal difficulty, making a consistent hitless run an extreme test of skill and endurance.

While hitless runs are common within the FromSoftware community, the sheer longevity of this challenge sets it apart. This isn't just a single, impressive feat; it's a sustained demonstration of mastery over the game's demanding combat.

This dedication highlights the enduring appeal of Elden Ring and the creative spirit of its fanbase. The game's complex combat and richly detailed world inspire players to push their limits, devising increasingly challenging self-imposed rules and goals. The anticipation for Nightreign is palpable, and this ongoing challenge serves as a unique testament to the game's lasting impact. The exact release date for Nightreign remains unconfirmed, but its arrival in 2025 is eagerly awaited.
