An Elden Ring enthusiast has undertaken a seemingly insurmountable 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 feat began on December 16, 2024.
The surprise announcement of Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024 contradicted previous statements from FromSoftware about Shadow of the Erdtree being the final Elden Ring expansion. This unexpected sequel, slated for a 2025 release, has reignited excitement surrounding the franchise.
YouTuber chickensandwich420 is documenting this extraordinary undertaking. The challenge's difficulty stems not only from the "hitless" requirement—a common, yet demanding, feat in the FromSoftware community—but also from the sheer endurance required to repeatedly conquer Messmer, a boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC known for its brutal difficulty.
This self-imposed challenge perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the FromSoftware fanbase. Players regularly devise and execute incredibly difficult self-challenges, pushing the boundaries of the game's mechanics and their own skill. The rich world and challenging combat of Elden Ring have fostered a culture of creative and demanding gameplay.
The Nightreign release date remains unconfirmed, but its anticipated arrival in 2025 fuels the anticipation surrounding chickensandwich420's ongoing battle against Messmer. This dedication to the game, and the community's embrace of such extreme challenges, highlight the enduring appeal of Elden Ring and the excitement for its future.
