Messmer quickly rose to being one of my favorite Fromsoft characters and one of the best fights in the series. His voice actor goes hard, his cutscenes are absolute cinema, and his theme is one of my favorite soundtracks they've ever created. Fantastic boss and character. Also great job on the no hit.
100% agree, I feel like he took the spot for my absolute favorite boss, the flow of dodging the spear and fire and the snakes in phase 2 is unmatched imo, plus his attacks are just so sick looking. Love his VA too, was really cool seeing a different variation of his lines compared to the ones in the trailer. Thanks, it’s not a no hit tho, I got hit twice or so in phase 2 by the big snakes lol. Next time
01:06 the look on his face is priceless I imagine Dark Sun Gwyndolin would be green with Jelousy would he behold Messmers Combat prowess, considering they are both Characters with Snakes emerging from their bodies
I loved watching that moment in 0.25x speed lol For some reason I never thought about the two snakeboys together. I’m glad gwyndolin is more of a pushover as a fighter, dodging the magic and arrows alone caused me more pain than I’d like to admit lol
I killed Messmer quite quickly with the help of bloody blades. But now I already regret it because the boss is divine, he is both difficult and more or less honest, he is important for the DLS events, and he also has beautiful techniques. So the boss is 10 out of 10
@@Meldstor true, easiest 10/10 of my life. I had a blood martial arts build on my first run, still took me 38 tries. Refighting him was so much fun and still really difficult, I had moments where I would just giggle and grin while dodging his insane attacks
I appreciate the effort for OST sync and cinematic fight along with No HUD! but I'd love to see the first cutscene as well even if it's edited out of other tries
thanks! I’ve thought about it at the time and now I wish I would’ve included his intro cutscene, it’s one of my favorites of all time. I might upload another version with the cutscene or do it on my next run
I don't know you guys can play without the hud, basically hitless, and showcase badass gameplay. I wish I was this good lmao. Underrated channel that deserves many subs and views!
FYI, if you roll INTO the flying combo Flurry strikes (the multiple stabs part) and dodge the first hit, you can literally ignore the rest of the stabs. At least ive never been hit by any of them after. You do have to dodge the final hit tho, obviously
I‘m aware and I tried it for a while but when staying relatively close to messmer during most of his combos blind spot ended up missing or going the wrong direction for me lol (skill issue)
4:39 4:48 The sequence of rolling without getting caught and then doing the special attack was crazy. Not bad this outfit too it reminds me of Eileen in Bloodborne this kind of raven fur.
dodging the snakes is so satisfying. And I like that he gives you a good window after that to do some longer attacks. Also yeah I love the gravebird set so much, it’s probably my favorite outfit in the entire game
there’s always stuff that could’ve gone better but I think it’s almost impossible not to have an amazing time learning and beating these bosses, especially if they’re so cinematic all by themselves
Would you say no hud is better? Because then you don't know when the fight ends and you actually play it like a cinematic dance, instead of getting greedy
yeah I really like it aesthetically, even tho it can lead to frustrating moments with stamina management but you can get used to it pretty well. But yeah the tension of not knowing for sure when it’s gonna end is thrilling
@Veloketh ah yes stamina management, I forgot about that, I suppose you just guess? Or you actually know that you have to dodge this much and hit this much
That‘s the reason I sometimes watch my own recordings while learning a boss, as an outside viewer you can process the moves a lot better. When you’re in the fight everything feels faster and more stimulating (but you might be crazy as well who knows)
@@Veloketh Hahaha thank you. And yeah that’s a good point, I just don’t have a lot of room. Cause I need to figure out what’s taking up 1.2TB of my hard drive before I can make videos lol.
Can't forget about Gherman tho. Imo: 1 Gherman (I'll be honest, I'm kind of biased) 2 Gael 3 Soul of Cinder 4 Lady Maria 5 the Lothric twins. Mohg, Orphan of Kos, Ludwig, Inner Father Owl, and sister Friede are all honorable mentions tho

@@toakamar8369 lmao works for me haha, thanks! You were just too messmerized I get it
@@Veloketh not the pun 😭💀
@@toakamar8369 I had to overcome my demons to type this but it actually fits here lmao
I love how at 4:57-5:20 his attacks are just in sync with the deep soinding instruments. 10/10 ost sync 🙌
messmer really blessed me with his moves there🙏🏼 glad you enjoyed it!
4:57 to 5:20
Its just perfect
One of the best "epic OST sync" videos
ey glad you enjoyed it! the music at that part always gives me chills
Bro Messmer’s relentless snake attacks and his assault with that OST timing in the second phase is one to watch, immense chills….

3D Bullet Hell Commence
One of my favorite bosses if not my favorite boss.
same for me, messmer just has all you need for a perfect boss
@@Veloketh he's the best boss

Glorious! So glad I found your channel!
Ey thanks, glad you’re enjoying my vids, welcome :)
Best boss ever.

Ey that was really nice to hear, thanks so much! Glad u enjoy my stuff, welcome :)
Memorizing attack patterns and timings, and then pressing the B button :)

Is ur character positioned behind messmer then after dodging into him? Bc I like seeing him do the stabs in front of me, it’s so sick
mongrel intruder 🔥💯🗣️
Thou‘rt Tarnished 👁️🐍😦 it seemeth 🤨
Mother, wouldst thou truly lordship sanction, in one so bereft of light?
Yet my purpose standeth unchanged
Awesome. I think you should have let yourself get grabbed once (the impaling attack) for the cinematic effect but otherwise fantastic video.
thanks! that would’ve been siiick, tho I‘m not sure my character can even survive a single grab with radagon‘s seal talisman on lol
The first spot on blind spot has I-frames, use it to dodge attacks and then retaliate
I‘m aware and I tried it for a while but when staying relatively close to messmer during most of his combos blind spot ended up missing or going the wrong direction for me lol (skill issue)
Yeah but dodging is cooler

@@Veloketh Yes exactly the attack window is too well placed to chain with a special attack ❤️
Wish my fight was as cool as urs
there’s always stuff that could’ve gone better but I think it’s almost impossible not to have an amazing time learning and beating these bosses, especially if they’re so cinematic all by themselves
Easily the only fight in elden ring to come close to Sekiro's amazing style, easily #1 elden fight style wise
🖤🔥🔥

I guess not only I defeated him with no hud 😂
Peak experience and not knowing when it ends is pretty exciting
@@Veloketh yess on point, it was too cool of a boss for me to defeat so soon so I cranked up the difficulty
It’s weird to me. These bosses feel so much faster when I fought them, than on these videos. Do they get faster in new games or am I just crazy?

Where did you get that armor pls?
@@lejosdeti it’s one version of the gravebird set, I think it’s in the scarlet rot area around the temple grounds/rauh base
4:56
Hey sorry if this is a stupid question but what armor is your character wearing?
It’s the gravebird armor (blackquill version). You can find it by the rot area near the temple town ruins. Helmet is the winged serpent helm
@@Veloketh Thanks.
His movesets is tooo little compred to other bosses , def not the best boss in the dlc
Easiest top 5 best Soulsborne bosses ever with Ludwig, Malenia, Mohg, Radahn (Starscourge) for me. ❤️😳 your gameplay also is as good as Messmer. 🫡❤️
Ey nice top 5 list! Same for me, Messmer is my new favorite boss ever (sorry ludwig)
Thanks so much 🫡
Phenomenal list. All 5 masterpieces.
Here is mine
Nameless King, Gael, Mohg, Messmer, Gywn
@@cloudy6256 nice. I think my top 5 are Messmer, Ludwig, Genichiro, Bayle, Maria
Can't forget about Gherman tho.
Imo:
1 Gherman (I'll be honest, I'm kind of biased)
2 Gael
3 Soul of Cinder
4 Lady Maria
5 the Lothric twins.
Mohg, Orphan of Kos, Ludwig, Inner Father Owl, and sister Friede are all honorable mentions tho
