Summary
While players heave a sigh of relief after defeating the unforgiving bosses in theElden RingShadow of the Erdtree, one fan’s experience turned out to be a nightmare as Messmer started chasing them outside the boss room.Elden Ringfans have been struggling to defeatMessmer the Impalerever since theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC came out, and just when this player thought they were done with the boss, the game seemed to have other plans.
WhileElden Ringis one of the most acclaimed games of all time, it does have its fair share of bugs. Recently, a player encountered a strange glitch that allowed them to replay theDragonlord Placidusax boss fight inElden Ring. While that was a pretty good glitch to have as fans have been asking for a similar feature for years, another player’s experience turned out to be quite a scary one.
In a post on theElden Ringsubreddit, aptly named user Howareualive reveals a horrifying experience they had while taking on one of themost difficult bosses in theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC. Apparently, the boss fight in its entirety was broken for the user, as they got the Remembrance after depleting only half his health. While that normally wouldn’t be that bad of a thing for those stuck on the Messmer fight, things turned out to be a nightmare for this player. Despite the game thinking that the boss had died, Messmer continued to attack the player in the boss room even though the area had become safe for them.
Things went a step further when Messmer started chasing Howareyoualive outside the boss' room as well. The player ended upfighting with Messmer inElden Ringfor a while, but while trying to evade one of his attacks, the player fell off the ramparts. Funnily enough, Messmer didn’t even leave the player alone in that situation, as he followed them, and eventually, both the player and the boss ended up dying.
Elden Ring Fans Horrified Over FromSoftware Adding It As A Feature
While this might sound like a humorous experience, otherElden Ringfans have been horrified of experiencing something similar. One user highlights how scary it’d be if the game had a feature like that, with some stating that it’d be interesting if FromSoftware added something like this in its next game. While overworldbosses inElden Ringdo follow the user for a short distance, if players run far enough from their spawn point, they end up resetting. As far as the main bosses inElden Ringare concerned, they always remain confined to their rooms, so this glitch was extremely special.
