Summary
AnElden Ringfan has gifted their nephew a custom cake for defeating theShadow of the Erdtreeboss Messmer the Impaler, and the cake’s design is certainly worthy of the feat. TheElden Ringfandom is accustomed to painstaking boss battles, and every player deserves a pat on the back at least for surviving FromSoftware’s unforgiving trials.
Elden Ring’s base game was released in 2022 from the minds of Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin, followed by theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC in June 2024. The Soulslike community is still finding interesting tidbits three months after the expansion’s release, including oneElden Ringplayer’s discovery of an overpowered use for Spritestones, and these details are uncovering hidden lore, more challenges, and handy buffs to help players conquer the Land of Shadow.
Posted on Reddit by WeeklyVariation6431, thisElden Ringfan shared a picture of a cake gifted to their nephew for beating the DLC’s iconic boss. The dessert was decorated with flames, spikes, miniature icing sculptures of Messmer and The Abyssal Serpent, and a score saying “Messmer: 140” and “Odin: 1.” The fan explained their nephew would only receive a cake if Messmer was defeated without using armor or spirit summons, which would have raised the stakes tenfold. Conquering the Demigod boss without this crucial defense is impressive, unlike the easier time had by anotherElden Ringplayer who challenged “Dollar Tree Messmer,”and the game’s subreddit community was quick to applaud the achievement.
Elden Ring Fan Gifts Nephew Cake for Defeating Messmer
Redditors noted the cake maker was a “better family member than Marika was to Messmer” in jest, and other users thought the player should get extra points for being named Odin. Even though the fiery boss is one of the DLC’s main antagonists, there’s stillplenty to do afterElden Ringplayers defeat Messmer, and several fans predicted the player would receive another cake after beating Promised Consort Radahn, the final boss of the expansion. Finally, another user revealed that the original poster had asked the community for cake ideas around the start of September, which shows how long their nephew had been trying to win the fight.
Messmer the Impaler is a mandatory boss inShadow of the Erdtree,dwelling in the Shadow Keep, and he uses fire-based spells to attack alongside the two-headed serpent. Being a pivotal foe in the DLC,Messmer is a tough fight forElden Ringfans, but the enemy is a crucial part of the game’s lore and his defeat is needed to obtain the Messmer’s Kindling key item and the Remembrance of the Impaler consumable.
