Somebody should check about Presbyterian symbol and how it connects to messmer. The Latin inscription underneath the symbol translates as "burning but flourishing". Alternative versions of the motto are also used, such as "Nec Tamen Consumebatur" (yet not consumed).

Submit

I swear he's not the final boss, as in every fromsoft dlc trailer the final boss never shown

Submit

i swear to christ if his helmet has his hair attached to it

MESSMER SAVE ME

Submit

Running an arcane-based dragon communion build to challenge the dlc with. hoping I can use some of his weapons cuz they look sick

Submit

We will be waiting

Submit

Messmer the Poker

Submit

Nah, I'd impale you.

Submit

Is this an optional boss
What kind of Foe is it

Submit

Nah, not going to be the hardest boss in the DLC, there has to be very very hidden boss, completely optional to finish the DLC bc it's too hard

Submit

I didn't realise he was weak to A and B. I'll try make a build around that.

Submit

This guy has all the forbidden powers by the erdtree. Flame, dragon eyes, serpents, thorn.

Submit

I think there is a picture of Messmer in table of lost grace. Right before the doors where Fia gives D. destined death. Golden crown and red hair picture next to erd tree picture

Submit

anyone gonna talk about how we has a missing left eye in the same fashion as melina and ranni?

Submit

What if Messmer is male Malenia like St. Trina is female Miquella.

Submit

So this is what I could get about him:
- Not a lot info in base game
- Demigod (throne chair)
- Radagon son (red hair)
- Dragon communion cult (eyes)
- Inherited Blasphemy fire (snakes on his body)
- Banished to the underworld (commit big sin, burn the erdtree????)

Submit

I think this is actually Miquella but corrupted by the formless mother

Submit

I wonder if he can top Malenia in difficulty. Perhaps in line with this Sekiro mechanic they’re using he might use some kind of posture gauge that you have to deplete before he takes damage.

Submit

Is he voiced by Anthony Howell?

Submit

I love you messmer

Submit

ROB please help me

Submit

I'm guessing he will invalidate my str/fire build

Submit

I just want to know what his weapon scales with so I can build a character around it.

Submit

his name is so hard

Submit

He is not be the final boss

Submit

Ross Geller of Elden Ring

Submit

I can’t wait to walk into his arena and he passes a basketball to me and the camera pans over to reveal his jordans and it is a basketball court and the hardest fromsoftware boss ever because of hid grab where he dunks on you which is a guaranteed one shot and you can’t prevent rune loss and it crashes the game and deletes your character and then uninstalls the game

Submit

Putting real money right now on this dude not being the real final boss.

Submit

Extremely odd there is no mention or foreshadowing of Messmer or the entire Land of Shadow anywhere in the base game. In DS3 there was at least a bit of foreshadowing of both DLC's through a handful of item descriptions and environmental storytelling. Based on the trailer the whole thing just feels like one big asspull but hell maybe I'm wrong

Submit

Thinking this guy is a similar character story-wise to that of the Nameless King from Dark Souls 3, the son of Gwyn who committed treason by siding with the dragons and had his name and history expunged from historical record.

Messmer is perhaps a son of Radagon who committed heresy against the Greater Will by embracing flame (and also blasphemy given the snakes), and was thus banished to the Land of Shadow and had his name and history erased from record, which would provide a reason for there being zero lore or foreshadowing of him in the base game.

Submit

Comet Azur heals him!!!!

Submit

how else thinks he will inflict bleed?

Submit

Move aside gwyndolin, the new hottest twink just dropped

Submit

I’m Messmer. Spike of Miquella. And I have never known defeat. ;)

Submit

Wasn't that hard, beat him first try

Submit

yeah sure 46cm of messmer sounds nice

Submit

Snake + Chaos Eyes + Dragon/Gargoyle Wings + Red Hair + Some kind of Mogwynn Spear + Fire/Blood Attacks + Male Malenia Vibes.
I don't know what this abomination is man.

Submit

he gon be a problem cause guess who else got a statue

Submit

anyone else think the whole thing about snakes being viewed as a "traitor to the erdtree" is because of this guy, doubled by the fact that he holds some kinda special kind of flame (frenzy or not)?

Submit

i hope his second phase has him turn into an true ancient dragon

Submit

Why is he kinda...

Submit

guys, remember that lady maria was featured as the biggest boss on bloodborne's dlc, but was orphan of kos who ****ed us up

Submit

Friendship ended with Gwendolyn. Now Messmer is my best friend.

Submit

I don't believe Messmer will be the final boss of the dlc. I believe it will be a sort of fake out boss akin to Artorias in the dark souls 1 Artorias of the abyss dlc. Artorias like Messmer was hyped up a lot and used in the promotional material heavily, yet wasn't the final boss of the game. I believe a similar thing will happen with Messmer, though I do believe we will fight him latter instead of him being an early boss like Artorias. I expect him to be the penultimate final boss.

Submit

Idk if it’s recency bias or what, but this has to be my favorite Demi-God design. The red cape, the sinister feel he has, the snakes surrounding him. What an amazing design.

Submit

Can't wait to come back to this comment section after the DLC, lmao.

Submit

Another thing of note is that he carries the same eyes as dragons and runebears, this could mean he is one of the many characters that communes with dragons in the game.

so not the fact the 2nd thing we see of himis a shot of him holding the dragon communion seal?

Submit

va kinda sounds like navlaan from ds2 idk why

Submit

I want his pyromancies.

Submit

I have already died to this boss.

Submit

I'm pretty sure he at least related to the drake knights in someway, do to the eyes and the armor having a similar feel to the drake knights armor. that also means that his weapon is most likely Arc/dex.

Submit

I guess it’s no coincidence that the cover art for the DLC depicts an intersection of a ring-shaped snake at shoulder level with Messmer’s straight spear .. This way, it perfectly matches the new Rune in the trailer and also resembles Malenia/Miquella’s Great Rune

Submit

Trust me. This wont be the main boss of DLC. Its a qute miquella foreplay.
Both will **** us up

Submit

He looks so cool! his red cape, the snake around him, his voice, him overall, I CAN'T WAIT !!
June 21st is still in a long time sadly ;-;

So we know that Miquella “shed his flesh” when he traveled to the land of shadow.

That flesh was what Mohg had in the cocoon and was trying to feed blood, but it wouldn’t respond.

But what if it did? Not in the undying lands, but in the land of shadow a land that exists at the same time in the same area as the undying lands, but is yet somehow separate from it. Maybe parallel?

Maybe, Messmer is the “flesh of Miquella” raised to power and obsession with grace by the corruption, while the spirit of Miquella remains pure and focuses on raising and protecting the graceless either in his original form or as St. Trina.

And we already have precedent for a single aspect of divinity splitting into two distinct shared forms, specifically Radagon and Marika.

All theories until the DLC drops, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Submit

Why even make an article about him this early? All the information is just "I dunno"

Submit

Team Messmer

Submit

It would be funny if they made this guy immune to bleed and frost

Submit

Impale and MessMe up snake twink,,,,,

Submit

I think he might actually turn out to be optional, or perhaps a mandatory but not final boss. The trailer for RC had shown Midir, but not Gael. Trailer for Old Hunters had shown Laurence, but not Orphan. AotA trailer had shown Kalameet, but not Manus(unless we count the arm). I don't think fromsoft has ever shown the final boss in the trailer?So I anticipate he will be either optional or, more likely, will be fought somewhere midway through the DLC.

Submit

English voice actor vaguely sounds like Kevin T. Collins, the VA for Griffith in Berserk 1997’s dub. This would be perfect and absolutely something Miyazaki would do, so I hope I turn out to be right.

Submit

perhaps he's not a physical being that actually existed, but a manifestation like the Orphan of Kos. maybe even the whole Land of Shade is a "punishment realm" for blasphemers, like the Hunter's Nightmare was for the blood drunk hunters.

Submit

He bears a striking resemblance to that of the drake knight set. It mentions in this page he has the same eyes as dragons and runebears, and his design has wings, small dragon wings. He could be a drake knight in a stage of dragon communion, as stated by Yura, Bloody Finger Hunter after you killed Agheel and showed him the heart "You must not forget though. Those who partake in Dragon Communion will one day shed their humanity. Their hunger for dragon, their yearning, only worsens. Until the floodgates burst, unleashing eternal torment. The strength of a mighty dragon. Magnificent, but deadly. It's no surprise that Dragon Communion is ruinous." And Drake Knights are said to "From birth, drake knights speak not a word. They spend their lives pursuing the strength of dragons, for its sublime beauty and inspiration of awe."

Submit

Would

Submit

His armor looks incredibly similar to the drake knight set

Submit

cant wait to die to this guy 47893537894537894570892341938 times

Submit

According to Miyazaki he is Marika's child

Submit

Unless confirmed by name, his voice sounds like English Alphinaud from ff14

Submit

snake? SNAAAAAKEEEEE?!

Submit

Miyazaki mentioned in an interview he is the son of Queen Marika

Submit

he got that drake knight look going on

Submit

can't wait to be killed hundreds of times by this mf

Submit

OMG he is weak to A?! Cool there is a new damage type.

Submit

I highly doubt this is rykards son, mainly since first off he is not a snake man, and secondly time frame wise it also doesn’t make sense since most people would say Tanith but also Tanith is very young and this person is not super young. I’m guessing he is a Demi-god of radagon (either rannela or Marika or maybe someone else) do to the red hair, which again another thing if you look at Rykard painting, it’s actually very dull colors, and you can see that as a human rykard did not have red hair.

Submit

Should be "perhaps related to rykard" as that is completle speculation

Submit

Why did you decide that his name was that and that it was him. Why did you decide that the phrase

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

pronounced by himself? Please provide links.

Submit

I've seen people theorize his name comes from "mesmerize," relating back to Miquella and dreams. I don't think that's very likely. Most names in Elden Ring are of Germanic origin. And sure enough, "Messmer," or some say "Mesmer," is actually a somewhat obscure Swiss-German word meaning "servant of the church." This etymology would make a lot of sense, as Messmer mentions that his role is to incinerate everyone who has been "stripped of the Grace of Gold," so he's likely working with Golden Order in some capacity.

Submit

Obvious he's Miquella, "Messmer" is an alias

Submit

He's hot

Submit

Seems like he is left-handed. Reminds me of Artorias, Ludwig, Raime, Burnt Ivory King. All mentioned bosses shared this trait so I wonder the reasoning behind it and if he will also be a sympathetic character.

Submit

so i guess the question is, is he harder than malenia?

Submit

The boss fight is so hard, i died 3 times before they release the DLC

Submit

i think they took inspiration from " zahaak " for this boss

Submit

The snake in the last image looks so cute I love that little dude

Submit

Would

Submit

obviously NOT an optional boss

Submit

Whats his thing in lore?

Submit

We should fight him with daedicar's woe equipped for the secret sex scene
