News about Elden Ring, Messmer the Impaler

Messmer location in Elden Ring DLCReturn to table of contents↴ Messmer waits for you in the Dark Chamber, a room above the highest point of the Specimen Storeroom in Shadow Keep. He's a mandatory DLC boss, so you can't skip him.

Messmer is vulnerable to magic attacks so using them will allow you to break his stance and deal critical blows much easier. I like to play melee builds, so for me, magic wasn't going to be as easy as using a staff. However, using Ashes of War worked perfectly for me.

Spoilers for the final boss of Shadow of the Erdtree follow. Despite Radahn's return, his fight at the end of the DLC is entirely different and he boasts an entirely new moveset that has made him a real pain in the ass for players to overcome.
