Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - Messmer The Impaler OST 

Intresting how i never really managed to listen to this masterpiece in game because someone mistook me for a pin cushion and kept trying to set me on fire

This fight is truly a 10/10 it’s exactly the kind of fight I thought elden ring was missing

"I will not suffer... A Lord devoid of Light."

I've played every souls game, and it is time to confess, Messmer is my favourite Boss ever.

*"Oh lightless creature, embrace thine oblivion, as shall I"*

I like how this theme sounds more tragic than villainous. Fits his character really well.

if you listen carefully you can recognize Radagon's notes in this ost. I have shivers all over my body.

“Mother Marika a curse upon thee” Marika stop using your kids as weapons please

"Mongrel intruder"

Shadow Keep and Messmer and the OST are so Dark Souls 3.

When the son you discarded, tries to kill your new husband:

Marika: "You are cursed and can not be allowed back in the Lands between, but be a good boi and purge all those bereft of light." Messmer: "Yes mother." Tarnished: *has been granted grace* Messmer: "Oh ffs you have to be kidding me..."

he quickly became one of my favorite fromsoft characters ever

4:06 your really feel the tragedy here. Nowhere in the description of the items does it really show that he enjoyed the things he was sent to do, if anything the guy looks miserable constantly. Imagine being sent to do something and then doing it exceptionally only to be penalized for it. Marika abandoned and erased him from history just for doing the job she sent him out to do against his will and the even after all that he continued doing his job till the very end. His last word hold a lot of meaning when given context “Mother Marika….A curse…. Upon thee.”

“Mother, wouldst tho truly lordship sanction in one so bereft of light?”

I was not mad he instanly Killed me I was stunned how Beautifull His music and boss is

“Those stripped of the Grace of Gold shall all meet death. In the embrace of Messmer’s flame.”

People it sounds similar to the main theme, I think it’s meant to mirror Radagon’s theme, since Messmer is obviously a child of his. Since messmer is the abandoned discarded child in the land of shadow, this theme mirrors are heroic light Radagon by being dark stormy and horrific.

Messmer himself makes the dlc amazing for me. Fav boss of not only the game, but also any game.

Messmer is not only an amazing boss in this DLC but his soundtrack suits him perfectly, he really lived up to the hype. I can see now why From Software was showing him so much.

Me : Wait what, him ? Now... NOW ?!

I fucking loved fighting this guy. Beat him with martial arts, one of the most fun fights I’ve ever had in this game. Easily favorite dlc boss, everything about him is just right.

"Men usually grow base by degrees. From me, in an instant, all virtue dropped bodily as a mantle" Edgar Allan Poe

"Soon, Tarnished. Wilt thou be taken in the jaws... Of the abyssal serpent, shorn of light."

The god devouring serpent leitmotif in there

You can feel the darkness in this theme, it almost feels like you’re fighting Dracula.

Pov:you spotted someone stripped of the grace of gold

One more try... And that try is when you nailed...

This sounds like it came straight from dark souls 3. So good

I love the tiny serpent behind the eye in phase 2. The little details like that really help to sell the boss lore

Is it just me? but the colour of his eyes and all the red colour + the choir Style of the ost reminds me of star wars a bit when Anakin falls for the dark side.

0:21 seeing him fly at me after the cutscene had me giggling with how cool he is

"Soon, Tarnished, wilt thou be taken in the jaws, of the abyssal serpent, shorn of light." 🗣🗣🗣🗣💯💯💯💯

A fast fight, sometimes even frantic. A visual spectacle. And most important: A fair fight. No bullshit 0.5-seconds windup button reading punishing moves. Can't decide between this and Isshin as my favorite Soulsborne bossfight.

Those stripped of the grace of gold shall all meet death....in the embrace of messmers flame ❤️

This boss is so awesome that he is the only boss that didnt got me raging and shit i actually have fun fighting this boss because he is so fair unlike other bosses

my favorite bossfight of all of elden ring

I love the two choir sections. Beginning of phase one and the beginning of phase two.

Ngl I love dying to him cause I get to relisten to his music and watch the phase 2 cutscene. Masterpiece of a boss 🙏

4:06 EPIC FIGHT INTENSIFIES

S tier OST!

i swear those siblings- Malenia, Miquella and Messmer are the best bosses i`ve ever fought

1:07 and on had me in tears of how beautiful this OST sounded as I was dodging his burning spin move, followed with his multiple thrusts and the spears coming out of the ground

Many people have fought video game characters like Dracula but there has never been a boss that mimics Vlad the impaler(arguably the most evil human being of all time)

Enough. I have endured more than enough.

Best boss in the dlc

They brought together everything I expect in a boss in this fight, simply perfect 10/10. (but he could have more hp)

Way better than the final boss

"Mother, wouldst thou truly lordship sanction in one so bereft of light?"

The last part of 2nd phase is absolutely peak omg Edit: 4:06 onwards to be precise

My flame of Ambition is burning after listening the ost

This one makes me want to cry, especially towards the end. I feel so bad for Messmer

Is this a variation of the Elden Ring's main theme in the first phase?

Mongrel Intruder

Incredible incredible fight. One of FromSoftware's all time best. 10/10 all around, such a shame this game doesn't have a boss mode...

His fight theme is amazing

it's not just me that thinks this theme is extremely similar to radagon's theme right?

that last minute was evangelical

What a nice ost 🔥🔥 Keep going🔥

I have to say Marika and Radagon third child Messmer is so badass and tragic doing Marika dirty work it a tragic demigod indeed

I knew he had some snake related attacks but didn’t expected him turning into a freaking giant Titanoboa

This OST makes me feel like a mongrel intruder

Mother... wouldst thou truly Lordship sanction, in one so bereft of light?

Reminds me of the Dark Souls 2 sound track, love it.

2:10 my fave butt... The whole song has grown on me fuck yes!!!!!!!!!!

2:26 Aaaah? 2:32 Oaaa. 2:37 Holy that bass... 2:43 Aaaaaa-haa? HAAA! 2:54 !

The only boss theme I had to look up after, this one gave me bloodborne vibes

Had no idea shadow keep was so huge... People were like: You fight him at the 50% point of the DLC.. They don't tell you the DLC is huge and that dungeon... A million ways for you to go in there, and a million ways to exit having not made it to the foot of the Scadutree or to Messmer's boss room 😂

This should've been the final boss

This ost really reminds me of Radagons theme, or is it just me? They sound very similar, i guess they should, like mother like son.

When you start to piece together just who Messmer is, you start to understand why he is the way he is. Messmer was practically being forced to do what he was told by his mother Marika because of what the hornsent did to her people. Albeit, what they did was absolutely horrendous, but mass genocide just beought forth more problems. Im sure Messmer wanted to avenge his mother to a certain degree because of what happened to her people, but he mostly seens to be in a constant state of bedlam because of it. It's no surprise either considering he was abandoned, wiped clean of his image and name throughout the course of all history, and forced to be left on an endless crusade that willl only be over when his demise happens. Idk if Messmer ever took any pleasure in his endless slaughter, but from how i see it, it doesn't seem he liked it at all but he knew it was necessary so he just did as he was told by Marika. He too was also afflicted and cursed at birth like his siblings, and ofc it's no fault of his that he was born that way, which adds another layer of suffering on top of everything else, because im sure he's gottta be in some kind of great pain with the abyssal serpent taking temporary control of his being when he turns to a giant snake and with the winged serpents writhing throughout his body while he's slightly hunched over. It item description, it states that he despised his own flame because it was consumed by the abyssal serpent within him, which gave him a constant reminder of his affliction and that he'll only find release in death. At the root of everything, Marika is the sole proprietor of all her demigod children's suffering because, had she not done what she did from the very beginning leading up to the creation of the Elden Ring itself and and the Golden Order, the demigods wouldn't have done what they did either that would've made their suffering even worse. It was all a series of events that unfolded which would end in the death of the gods and the world and its inhabitants suffering because of the gods choices. We the tarnished are a good example of that. Being forced to go on a predestined journey to mend what needs fixing, coming back from death and not being allowed a true one until you fulfill this predestined fate.

i don't think this OST hits the same without the sound of Messmer's attacks

Does anyone else have PTSD from this?

messmer : show me your war face!!!!!!!!!!

I'm convinced he is Marika/Radagon's bastard until the details of his birth are confirmed by the developers or Martin. Regardless of which conceived him, either Marika or Radagon had Messmer with someone besides each other, and both are the parent in either case. So even if Radagon fathered him with a woman who wasnt Marika, Radagon is Marika, and so Marika is Messmer's mother. Even if Marika had Messmer with a man who wasnt Radagon, Radagon is still his father, because Marika is Radagon.

Some parts must've been made to sound like Radagon's theme

Best boss of the best game

Se parece a una mezcla entre banda sonora de elden ring + dark souls 3 XD (10/10)

4:09 is when I lock in and endup getting the most damage in during the fight. Killing him at 4:48 is the most epic thing i've done.

Mesmer.es el mejor ost que tiene este juego. declara absurdo todos los demas ost

Buitiful❤

Fought this guy too early

I love running dragon cult and communion builds but man they made messmer hard but the challenge made messmer my favorite demigod fight cant wait for the lore videos

Banger👌

Messmer kinda reminds me of Genichiro.

if malenia was fair and made sense

🔥🙏🏿💀

1:20 😭😭😭 . Idk Malekith theme may have a draw ... Anyone else or is it just me.???🤷 Maybe an abandoned child is a bit more sad than an half brother betrayed. She used everyone and said the hell with em😂😂😂. Then realized she fd herself.

FromSoftware, I ordered a tough fight and instead you gave me a masterpiece 😒

Hoooooooob got hit xD

It this the blood? Oh shit wrong game 😭

0:22 me : it is time

wish the choir was louder

"Modern souls fans are all masochists" - synthetic man

Solider of Godrick vs messmir

👍

I use to think malenia was my favourite boss until messmer came along hes better than malenia. Messmer is the goat.

1:20
