Elden Ring Pro VS Messmer The Impaler 

Afro senju: I hope he wasn’t the final boss Me: You will wish he was

Messmer is definitely my favorite boss in the DLC, he’s so cool and his fight is actually pretty fair… considering other DLC bosses

NO SPOILERS BUT AFRO NEEDS TO KNOW THIS: If you get to a point where it asks you to burn a tree, DONT! Its a point of no return and all friendly/ally NPC quests become inaccesible after that tree is burnt. So if you want to explore the DLC and all of its contents, do so before you burn that tree.

“Those stripped of the grace of gold shall all meet death in the embrace of Messmer’s flame” favorite boss by far!

that dragon training arc actually hit seeing afro breeze through the hippo and messmer compared to seereax is mind blowing

I love how the dialogue changes from ”Those stripped of the Grace of Gold shall all meet death” to ”Embrace thei oblivion, as shall i” when he has given in to the curse and destroyed the eye.

3 dragons killed and ur pain has just began 😅

Bro be cutting it so close to not being daily lmfao 😂

This is just straight impressive, afro basically destroyed what took homie seereax hours to beat in a few runs. The dragons unlocked his potential and let me solo made it bloom.

"in the embrace of messmer's flame" about to become his new "i am malenia, blade of miquella"

I've been stuck on the final boss for hours, Messmer is a joke compared to it. Good luck dude.

The shadow of the serpent taking shape in the phase 2 cutscene goes so hard it's actually ridiculous.

Fun fact: One of the best things to use fighting messmer is bleed damage, afro happened to have the perfect build for this fight, good stuff homie

Afro in his Acnologia phase, DESTOY ALL DRAGONS!!

17:27 YO THAT DRAGONSLAYER TRAINING DID CRAZY WORK

deion punching the air rn

That dragon heart you found from the communion was from a npc who had a quest you missed by never speaking to her. She disappeared the moment you killed Bayle. I believe you can use the heart on the pot next to the place you found the heart. That said, Messmer is in my opinion, one of the fairest fight you’re ever going to get in this DLC. Everything he does has a reasonable tell and he is surprisingly merciful with getting combo’d so easily unlike some bosses like Rellana. Speaking of that. What is your Scardu Fragment level at by the time you fought Messmer?

Afro senju: "I hope he wasn’t the final boss" Every Other Tarnished: "By Marika's Grace, you do not know what thy is asking for!"

Mesmer: Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same, or should I say, I HAVE

Hey Afro, I've been watching you for the past 8 years and I just wanted to say that you're definitely my favorite RU-vidr and in my eyes the literal best. Watching how your content shifts with your ability to adapt is amazing, legit I enjoy everything, every single video you've posted it's so good and what makes it even better is that it's ONLY YOU! You're such a hard worker. But not just your content, even those times when you would spend those Christmases alone with your dog or when you weren't single back then and what you did to go through those break ups has taught me so many things it's amazing and I'm grateful for that 💪🏼 keep up the amazing work G, you're an inspiration! 👌🏼 and 1 more thing, that fact that you've been beating every boss in the DLC so far without summons or cheesy builds is actually mind-blowing, you're the best!

“Mongrel intruda” pure aura

This may not be seen at all but, seeing Afro struggle through and persevere through these hard bosses gave me the courage to do the same on a game i've been struggling with. I got the determination to keep trying and i finally beat it a few minutes ago. Thank you, Afro, Dont give up!

Been watching afro for like two-ish years now but I only ever tune in when I hear he's doing something difficult. Watching him go through his endless cycle of -inflated ego- aggressive reality check - use meta/easy tactics- inflated ego is always an absolute treat. I think this guy's utter incompetence is a true testament to the condition of man and evidence that if you use the tools given to you anything is possible; no matter how skillless and room temp IQ you might be.

You're the person who I show to my friends when describing the struggle I go through fighting these bosses. Your struggles mirror my own, and you don't shy away from showing them. Keep up the good work 😁

The Priestess Heart transforms you into a Dragon- boosting dragon cult incantations (basically lightning enhancement), but you have to be stripped naked to use it. Plus you need to have used the Dragon Communion to devour at least three dragon hearts to acquire their incantations. Works for casters, but not for your current playstyle. That being said, however, there is an armor set that boosts your damage output (while reducing some of your defenses), turning you into a glass cannon. But that's for you to decide if you want that or not. Also comes with another Great Katana that is being dubbed as the 'Ocean of Blood' version of Rivers of Blood Katana.

Keeping up that daily streak, you got it king 🤴

I literally refresh your RU-vid channel at least twice a day waiting for these💯💯😭😭 you’re the Homie for real and I appreciate your sense of humor🎉 wish you nothing but the best

Been waiting for this all day man I fucking love your videos

Afro: *Proceeds to learn, use different War of Ashes and clear easy* Me: He's..... learning as he fights!

I was ready for three whole intros, a bottle of Henny and some tears. Good job.🎉🎉🎉🎉

I’ve never jolted up with happiness as much as this pls keep uploading

Ayeee AFRO always love your vids 👾💜💚🐲

The only RU-vidr I got my notifications on for

I been tweaking lately and your regular uploads bring me back to reality. Thank you.

The shot of the serpent's shadow taking shape in the phase 2 cutscene goes so hard it's actually ridiculous.

Messmer is my favorite fight in the game. He’s cool as fuck, amazing lore, amazing ost, and he’s fun to fight because despite how hard he is, he never feels unfair (unlike his sister)

6:52 “put that bag back on”

I was actually stuck on Messmer for a while and i am so proud of you Afro for beating him in one video!

Afro no lie you are missing so much I can’t wait till you see the rest of the amazing work

Afro tryna rizz up Messmer is crazy😭

DONT LOOSE FAITH, HE PULLIN THROUGH

Loving the DLC content Afro, keep up the great work!!

Yeah you putting in work Afro we love it ! Easy work for you 👏🏾💪🏾

?!! 🤩😘💖.

Bro really missed two entire quest lines 💀

The immediate panic after that beautiful cutscene was me too🤣😭

I love it when Messmer takes off his Kenpachi eyepatch

Everyday we inch closer to seeing the biggest test , the arc to beat that final boss will be nothing but madness, depravity and above all legendary!!

I’ve be WAITING for this

Just a quick info, if you go back to the part where there were many coffins, before an elevator and a grace, after the two black knights in the room there is ladder which leads to a new area

The fact that a boss like this actually acknowledges you as a lord is pretty damn cool.

Watching Afro and Seereax have totally different experiences with these bosses is hilarious 😂

MY BOY ON FIREEE

Love the vid, also you said in the Baile video that the most annoying part was the editing but PLEASE keep it up I love this shit some of the funniest edits I have seen in a long ass time ❤

So, so so much more to find bro. I can't wait for you to find Midra. Also, Afro did anyone tell you there is a new whip in this DLC. Cause there is a new whip in this DLC

Exact what I needed rn, got my food and I’m comfy

Those Dragon's really revived Afro damn he destroyed Messmer I love to see this🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Afro you did prety good. Your exploration gave you a level up.

As someone that has been subbed since Elden Ring, but initially found you with Mugen, this is great to see anyone doing this job without craziness going on. Great Job L.

Afro, i don't watch you often because we simply don't usually play the same games. But to me, your fromsoftware games playthroughs are by FAR the most entertaining, funny and hype on the internet. Cheers

Unc really just tried to Talk no Jutsu Messmer.. I love it here

"Im about to beat this dlc" got me cracking man.

Ngl was really excited to see Afro get stuck for a while on messmer. Had no idea he was about to shred through him like that lol. Either messmer is really weak to bleed or Afros op 😂

🎉 Hell yeah man solid side step at the end there

Love the videos ❤

I love how both you and Seereax have the same reaction to the naked jar.

Afro the game has just begun now😅😂 good luck great video btw

The guys screaming as they come in for attack is God tier editing

It's such a pleasant surprise afro using messmers's own theme for his fight

An interesting thing about Messmer’s phase two is that, in his transition, he removes his eye and crushed his own grace of gold, becoming tarnished to fight you better and prevent you from becoming the tarnished Elden Lord. Another interesting detail is that the ring around his eye socket looks identical to the darksign from Dark Souls. As for what you’re supposed to do with Bayle’s heart, you’re supposed to put it in the great flame next to the giant dragon corpse to get a Bayle’s communion incantation. It’s basically like his remembrance.

Afro is a different beast nowadays. Making it look like light work

Afro lvled up so much mane, I remember the days my boy didn’t even used to get a lineup. Now you out here looking like a f**k boi proud of you 🥷🏿

Bro afro went beast at the end

I agree, a lot of people dont realize that these games are a learning process. You wont be insane frame 1, (commonly), but once you get the download you can beat the boss and dodge properly

I was waiting for this one after watching see so it the other day 😭

epic fight man. Slaying the dragons paid off. Also what is the ost you put during the messmer fight? it goes hard

Afro has evolved since fighting those dragons🔥🔥

I like seeing Afro struggle it’s funny, we feel for him while we beat the game as well but I love seeing bro pull off big brain 🧠 high IQ EXECUTIONS AS WELL GREAT JOB BEATING MESSMER! took me like 8 hours to beat him 😭

Thumbnails are goated

I do feel the backhand blades shred messmer like when i used them the fight lasted less then a minute its crazy how good they are absolutely love them

I am genuinely shocked on how fast Afro beat him. He definitely got a huge Zaki boost when he fought those dragons

I really love watching Afro senju bc he makes me look like a good player I love you Afro

From "I'M PRESSING CIRCLE" to this 17:23 ? Your training arc is successful🎉

To use the dragon heart(and the lamenters mask) you have to take off all your armor to be able to click use, once you do you’ll get sumthing cool and worth while.(also reading item description really help)

Wow I’m genuinely impressed afro

Seereax breaking his chair over the Hippo while Senju is like "welp he was too easy"

bro same happenend with me , i too am following your playthrough , killed bayle before so i went to mesmer but he died in 3rd try , i felt as though i lost some content. glad to see u feel the same.

the priestess heart thing you got after beating bayle can turn you into a humanoid dragon its really cool

14:32 is where the Mesmer boss fight really shined for me. Besides his music score. The way he just comes down as the giant snake is boss af

Seeing Afro having fun again is is a breath of fresh air, t'il now it really seemed like bro was forcing himself on some cbt on camera

“I haven’t seen many bosses really” Afro after resolutely ignoring most of the side areas 😂

You know it's a banger boss OST when Afro uses it

Afro doing the rest of the game after Bayle like goku returning from snake way. Must feel euphoric.

Img bro really is getting better You cooked that dragon Chasing the head is the strat

Good luck with the rest of the dlc afro we believe in you

Yo, you have legit gotten good. You survived the first time of the snake explosion. That fucking ruled

Nah those struggling with that hippo are wild, you did good man. I'll never understand the struggle with that boss Ay Yo! them raptor mist dodges were lookin stylish!

12:44 - The shake in his voice on "Please" was 😂😂😂😂

How much he was hyped up I was hoping for more of a challenge ngl

You have this in the bag never give up
