Elden Ring is the latest Soulslike game made by director Hidetaka Miyazaki and the gaming community has nothing but positive feedback. The genre is not for the faint of heart and encourages the players to think fast and to endure.
The boss battles are no joke and the base game already featured a handful of powerful enemies, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion did not hold back with Messmer. Some players got creative and discovered an unconventional method to beat this powerful boss.
One Elden Ring Player Put Messmer in His Rightful Place
FromSoftware intentionally designed its games to be harder than usual because it could help build character, encourage players to improve, and offer assistance to those in need. Legendary player known as Let Me Solo Her now goes by Let Me Solo Him and has set their sights on Messmer for the Elden Ring expansion. The player fears no boss fight and will go down swinging rather than turning tail and will likely applaud this unique strategy to take down one of the hardest enemies in Shadow of the Erdtree.
I Beat Messmer by Throwing Rocks at Him 🗿

It appears that throwing rocks at Messmer is an efficient strategy. This tactic bears a heavy resemblance to the legend of David using stones to defeat Goliath. The Tarnished has the advantage of size, players are more nimble and agile to avoid incoming attacks and deliver smaller blows.
Throwing rocks at an enemy boss could be a decent alternative to relying on attacks involving magic and shooting from a distance. It all falls on which option is much more viable in the situation, the fight with Messmer in his Base Serpent mode makes it more convenient to stay within range and it would be easier to dodge and evade incoming pound attacks and for players to pick up a rock and chuck it.
Messmer Is Easily Demolished After an Elden Ring Player throws stones at the Demigod
Beating enemy bosses in Soulslike games requires timing and strategy, not just raw power and strength. Players can create fantastic custom builds that could easily destroy anything standing in their way like a perfumer build that one player has worked on and is satisfied to see its efficiency in the field.
There is no right or wrong way to approach an enemy encounter in this franchise. It does not matter how an enemy is defeated as long as they are defeated in a way that does not contradict the core values and ideals of the genre and is to persevere no matter how hard it gets.
The developers have been building up hype for Messmer for quite some time. Seeing this powerful demigod fall to a player’s rock-throwing skills is amusing and encouraging.
Perhaps other players hesitant to try the expansion will feel motivated to try this strategy themselves. It may not be the ideal solution to fighting an enemy boss but it has been tested and proven.
