メスマー、ナイトレインリリースまでノーダメージチャレンジ継続

Elden Ring Fan’s Unrelenting Daily Challenge: Defeating Messmer Hitless Until Nightreign’s Release

In a stunning display of dedication, obsession, and sheer willpower, one Elden Ring fan has embarked on a mission that borders on mythic: defeating Messmer the Impaler every single day—without taking a single hit—until the release of Elden Ring: Nightreign in 2025.

The challenge, initiated on December 16, 2024, is not just another speedrun or hitless run. It's a daily ritual of precision, patience, and mental fortitude—a marathon of mastery against one of FromSoftware’s most brutal and mechanically intricate bosses.

Who Is This Fan?

The player, known online as chickensandwich420 on YouTube and various gaming forums, has built a modest but growing following for their commitment to this grueling personal goal. Their livestreams, often lasting hours, capture every twitch of anticipation, every near-miss, and every flawless execution. With a mix of humor, humility, and quiet determination, they've become a symbol of the Elden Ring community’s enduring spirit.

"I’m not doing this to break records. I’m doing it because I love the game, and I want to be ready for Nightreign—whatever it is, wherever it goes."

Why Messmer?

Messmer the Impaler, a boss from Shadow of the Erdtree, is widely considered one of the most punishing fights in the entire Elden Ring canon. His signature move—the "Soul of the Cursed" plunge—requires split-second timing to dodge, and his relentless, patterned assault makes even a single mistake catastrophic.

A hitless run against Messmer already pushes players to their limits. But doing it every single day, with no room for error, no margin for fatigue, and no time to "reset" after a failed attempt? That’s not just a test of skill—it’s a test of identity, resilience, and love for the game itself.

The Significance of Nightreign

The announcement of Elden Ring: Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024 sent shockwaves through the gaming world. After FromSoftware’s earlier promises that Shadow of the Erdtree would be the final DLC and that no sequel was planned, this new title felt like a rebirth of the franchise.

Nightreign is being described as a cooperative multiplayer spinoff, suggesting a shift from the game’s traditionally solitary, high-stakes experience. Instead of battling alone in the Lands Between, players may now team up—likely in asynchronous or real-time co-op formats—to face new threats, explore uncharted regions, and uncover the dark legacy of the Night of the Drowned, a lore-rich event rumored to have shaped the world.

Though no official release date has been confirmed, 2025 remains the target window. And for chickensandwich420, that date is not just a deadline—it’s a personal promise to themselves and the community.

A New Kind of Legacy

This challenge reflects a deeper truth about Elden Ring and its legacy: it’s not just a game. It’s a cultural phenomenon.

Fans have long embraced challenge runs not for fame or notoriety, but as a form of spiritual communion with the game’s world. From hidden route explorers to 100% completionists, the community thrives on pushing boundaries—not just in gameplay, but in meaning, connection, and endurance.

The daily Messmer challenge embodies this ethos. It’s not about winning. It’s about showing up. Every day. In the same armor. Facing the same storm. With the same unwavering focus.

What’s Next?

As the clock ticks down to 2025, the world watches with bated breath. Will chickensandwich420 achieve 365 flawless victories? Will their streak break under pressure? Or will they become a legend—the first player to conquer Messmer daily, hitless, for an entire year?

Regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain:

When Nightreign launches, it won’t just be a game. It will be a tribute—built on sweat, silence, and a thousand perfect dodges—to the player who refused to blink.
