Elden Ring Fan's Epic Endurance: A Hitless Messmer Daily Until Nightreign
A dedicated Elden Ring player, chickensandwich420, 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 16th, 2024.
The challenge's difficulty is amplified by its sheer duration. Messmer, a formidable boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, is already infamous for its punishing difficulty. A hitless run against this boss is a significant feat in itself, but performing it repeatedly until Nightreign's 2025 release transforms it into an impressive test of skill and perseverance.
This self-imposed challenge highlights the enduring popularity of Elden Ring, three years after its initial release. The game's captivating world and demanding yet rewarding combat continue to captivate players, inspiring creative and demanding self-challenges. This dedication is a testament to FromSoftware's impact on the gaming landscape.
The surprise announcement of Elden Ring: Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024, following previous statements ruling out further Elden Ring content, has generated significant excitement. Nightreign promises a new co-op focus, offering a fresh perspective on the beloved world and characters. While a precise release date remains unconfirmed, a 2025 launch is anticipated.
This ongoing challenge showcases the vibrant and dedicated community surrounding Elden Ring, constantly pushing boundaries and finding new ways to engage with the game's challenging content. The creativity of these community-driven challenges mirrors the ingenuity of Elden Ring's own design. The anticipation for Nightreign, and the completion of chickensandwich420's arduous task, keeps the Elden Ring saga alive and engaging.
