Elden Ring DLC\u2019s Messmer boss kills himself due to weird bug Bandai NamcoElden Ring players have encountered a bug that sees Messmer the Impaler kill himself during one of Shadow of the Erdtree\u2019s toughest boss battles. Elden Ring\u2019s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is filled with challenging boss fights, from Divine Beast Dancing Lion to Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame. The Messmer battle counts among the most difficult, featuring a two-part fight whose second phase involves a giant serpent. While players have suffered through hours of trial and error, some have defeated the Impaler by sheer luck. As one Reddit user demonstrated, Messmer can take his own life by accidentally falling off the fighting platform. Redditor X1Reaper1X shared footage of their final 30 seconds in the Messmer battle, which shows the boss\u2019 serpent form suddenly falling off the map and dying. All things considered, this made for a relatively easy win as seen in the following clip: Naturally, users can\u2019t help but wonder why the arena\u2019s presumed \u201cinvisible boss walls\u201d didn\u2019t prevent this from happening. Some Elden Ring players think the Messmer bug may constitute an online-specific glitch since similar clips and reports also include summons. \u201cThis happened when I was a summon for someone,\u201d reads one such reply. \u201cIt must be some sort of online bug because every clip I\u2019ve seen has involved summons,\u201d another user noted. But solo players have thrown a wrench in this theory by claiming they, too, have encountered the error. Thus, Messmer\u2019s proximity to the arena\u2019s edge during the second phase may be the primary cause of the glitch. \u201cApparently, if he\u2019s by the edge and turns into a snake, he\u2019ll just fall down,\u201d one person wrote in the thread. Regardless, Elden Ring players have more than one way to take Messmer down \u2013 at least until this is likely fixed in a future update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
