I’m feel like there is no bosss like Messmer unless someone tells someone is like him. I feel like he’s the best fromsoft boss ever. Only issue he’s a little too easy
Nah, by far not. Heard Malenia say it hundreds of times, while Messmer is rather easy, as you get used to his moveset pretty quickly. With Starfist +25 he summoned the snake once and was gone.
@@Hauri1972 I really wish messmer had more health. He has more health than Malenia yet goes down way quicker. At least he doesn't have any bullshit like her.
@@anonisnoone6125 Agreed. My only problem with the dlc was lack of second phases. One squishy health bar with every boss (except Radahn) was disappointing. The whole dlc was built like a glass cannon: bosses one shot you, but you one shot them too. It didn't feel like a boss fight in many cases.
Messmer is one of the best characters fromsoft ever made, especially his lore is heart breaking having been cursed form birth and then forced by his mother to become basically the Devil for her, only for she to betray him and erase him from history
Briefly about his lore, all of Marika’s children were born cursed. Messmer, more than likely her eldest child, was born with the abyssal serpent inside him. Marika gave him her grace, which held the worst of his curse back but he still had the red snake bois going through him. Partway through the fight he destroys the grace mama gave him and lets his curse out on you in full. He curses Marika at the end because she abandoned him in the realm of shadow to fight her Crusade against the Hornsent.
Red snakes seem to be unrelated to abyssal serpent, as description of his helmet states thatthey were by his side when abyssal serpent got sealed and will accompany him in his new form, after releasing abyssal serpent, accepting their fate as much as he did.
Messmer’s theme has shades of Radagon’s in it, hinting that Radagon is indeed his father. These OSTs tell such stories. Also, any time there is a summon sign INSIDE the arena summon them. That means it’s there for story purposes. It doesn’t make the boss harder when it’s inside the arena, just when it’s outside.
ughhhh one of my favorite things is that you appreciate the music so much and turn it up so loud, as someone whose experience is always greatly elevated by how awesome the soundtrack is it feels so nice to see people appreciate it the same way :D looking forward to seeing you play the rest!!!
@@anonisnoone6125 this boss is so satisfying to learn the attacks and dodge them. One of the best boss fights they made. The only problem is, he needs more health he is too squishy.
@@anonisnoone6125 For the waterlow you just need to dodge forward at the right timing then forward or backward again then you dodge forward or walk...Is that bullshit for you? It's just difficult at first but it's easily manageable without injustice
i actually sat and got an ear to ear smile when i first reached 2 phase, hoped that one of the bosses from the dlc would be true s tier. And messmer delivered
@@Blackblade-NeX they did the snakes very good. Intuitive dodging too for them. They remind me of Shadows of Yharnam from bloodborne just actually done well
Mati I've waited for this let's goooooo I fought Messmer while wearing a suit and tie The man is a spectacle Love watching ur channel ur sekiro playthrough and reaction and build up to isshin was such a fun experience Much love ❤ always a movie with you 😂
Messmer took the spot of the best boss and character in the game for me. He's really awesome😅 Though some advice from me: if you're going to two-hand one of the Great Katanas, do the base one. Unless you're fighting dragons, being able to choose the AoW makes the base Great Katana the better choice.
@@TimothyGod the versatility available from being able to swap infusions and ashes of war should not be easily discounted, especially with how many enemies are weak to holy in the dlc
@@TimothyGod So does the normal Great Katana and it can do more than the dragon one due to changeable skills and affinities. The only scenario where the Dragon Katana is definitely better is when you're fighting Dragons.
@@themightymcb7310 Godfrey icon, shard of Alexander. I understand how powerful the normal great Katana is the dragon gray katana definitely can't be slept on, Even on non-dragon enemies
One good tip from me: When there's an NPC begging to be summoned for a boss fight, SUMMON THEM. They are the only MANDATORY Summon in this game. Trust me man🤜🤛
If there's a summon sign actually inside the boss arena like in the Messmer fight then you should definitely summon the NPC. I'm pretty sure that most commenters would agree that they don't want you to miss the next one so be on the lookout for these special summons.
wow Mati, I want to know which app are you using to edit these video? Because I want to be a RU-vidr and an editor just like you someday, watch your video somehow always makes me addictive and want to watch more❤❤❤
When you read the messmer kindling about his sister it was melina, you will know when you get to the tree,as you know how melina sacrificed her at the mountaintops the same goes for messmer kindling
YESSI WAITED FOR YOU TO FIGHT MESSMER BRO❤. Loved your reactions to him. There’s another main boss you’ll probably stumble across in the same area/building as Messmer (Just make sure to book a therapy beforehand ;) )
Before you continue the story, I think you should visit the abyssal woods and fight Midra, I don’t want to say his full name but he is indeed another cinema legend. Or Bayle which I think you’ll have fun fighting😃
For all the people that say that Elden Ring can only be play with strategi and knowledge, i say, look at Matis videos he is the real Goat of forcing his way in defeating enemy just with pure grit--yes you will die more that 300 times, but at some point you will win.
I love how he says "...in the embrace of Messmer's flame..." almost bored, making it sound like he's said it so many times to tarnished warriors that he's getting tired of killing yall
3:28 wow. You pulled the lever without jumping on the hanging Jesus feet. Good lock getting that fragment. There is still a way to get it but not as easy as before
Maaaannn I’m loving the editing on just the intro alone, really loving the new upload schedule too, just don’t burn yourself out bro 🤘Love getting to experience this alongside Mati and the SQUADRON
My Boys back with a Messmer Attack 🙂Also after defeating Rememberance bosses in DLC you can go back to the Roundtable Hold main game to get a weapon or magic item and any armour they may have been wearing only if you want to my dude as i have not seen you return there so far hope this helps Dude 🙂
best boss in the game and its not even close. First elden ring boss to make my top 10 favorite fromsoft bosses, which is really impressive because i have really high standards
I remember my fight against Messmer, dying over and over again. After 100 something deaths i had it with him and finally leveled my blessing from 0 to 15! He killed my level 1 run.
Been watching through your fromsoft videos and im definitely now a fan of your content. Considering you appreciate amazing soundtracks and visuals so much I think you would enjoy playing the Ori and the blind forest series at some point because they're brilliant. All the best
Weirdly you do have to beat Messmer with Hornsent for a specific outcome of his questline, but it's not a big deal. More satisfying to beat Messmer solo imo
Hi, Mati. It is always good to see how you enjoyed these boss fights! Just want to remind you that you might want to clear some of these NPC questlines in Shadow Keep before you move forward. I don't want to spoil you too much, but I personally think the BEST PART of this DLC is how they portraited these NPCs and whether you complete ALL OF THEIR QUESTLINES will largely influence your gaming experience!!!
Oh I've been waiting for this the whole week. Can't wait to see Mati embrace Messmers flame 😅. And as a P.S. try to fully appreciate the next boss by looking at all of his attacks. It's a true spectacle
Messmer is easly one of the best boss fight ever. Absolutely love his tragic character. Great vid as usual Mati, you always know how to enternain with a good fight ;)
13:57 - that hefty drum strike, as the camera closes in on Messmer, reinforces the sinking "oh shit" feeling tenfold! It's the little things like this, that elevate fights to S tier. Like, his arena has railings instead of walls, so you _never_ get any camera shenanigans whenever you're pinned against the edge. Subtle brilliance
Ohh I'm so here for it! We are so back baby! ❤ When I reached Bayle, I had not goten the Infos from the DragonNPC. I wondered why all Dragons we meet are not at their prime. I was so blown away, when I later found out that they happend to each other.
Mari bro you are so entertaining to watch! The exploration in the DLC is amazing and the verticality is nothing I’ve experienced in an open world game before. To get the last map fragment you need to go through a mini dungeon which will take you to the bottom of the area. Look forward to the next epic ER movie! ❤
It's probably been said, but Messmer's sister that also "bore a vision of fire" could be referring to Melina, our finger maiden. I took it as confirmation that Melina was also a Demigod.
You’re at messer now nice. Such a cool boss. I had a similar experience as yours, I had him down to like 1 hp twice and I choked. Frustrating but I got him in the end.
Hey mati! Love you vids as always! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I just wanna tell you, i live on the other side of the world, in Indonesia to be exact. So when you upload your videos around noon/evening, its already around midnight in my country. So when i found out you upload a video 5 minutes before i go to sleep, i knew what i had to watch when i eat breakfast tomorrow. So thank you mati for accompanying me eating my breakfast. you da man🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥 this maybe the best breakfast i've ever had
I never thought watching someone suffer would be so entertaining! But real talk I love your tenacity. I've been playing these games since 2018, started with bloodborne. And I think watching newcomers helps me appreciate these games more!
Messmer is not the most difficult boss but in the same boat I would get him low and then die. A good chunk of time that is how it went. But finding out the lore about him honestly might be the best part. As always love your videos.
