How I'm imagining Messmer acts every time he kills me...
This is just a piece of another thumbnail for a lore video about Messmer. Poor mamaβs boy ππ₯π₯
In the dlc gameplay trailer, we see a boss version of Huw placed in Rellana's arena. Which of my two brain cells should I side with: the one that believes Huw used to drop by for a spar or two with Rellana becauseβ¦ reasons (Β¬βΏΒ¬ ), or the one convinced that a Black Knight character was meant to be the Sword of Messmer at some point? π§ π
I am on board with huw and rellana sparring. not even for legitimate combat reasons, but for the MOST petty shit - like who gets to walk the battlements with messmer or sit next to him at dinner, or other utterly inconsequential things.
I also think rellana matches messmer's freakish height, so any sparring with huw involves a comical height difference.
do you see my vision anon
Imagine taking years to summon the courage to proxy-touch your Lording via snakes, and then that half-stripped mofo just puts your hand on his throat and KOs you.
#RIP #the guy didn't even get the captain title yet #10 oblivious Impalers out of 10
i think he is utterly oblivious and that's really the rizz in itself.
"For what purpose... did I..."
Not sure if itβs just me whoβs been living under a rock for the past 8 months or not, but apparently besides the cut dialogue related to Miquella, Messmer also has unused audio files (the lines Jack Barton actually voiced). Here Messmer politely reminds Tarnished that we're both unworthy of the Erdtree and even questions his own actions with a broken voice:

"Embrace thine oblivion, as shall I"
Messmer's line when he kills you in phase 2 hits different in Japanese: γηγε°½γγγγγγζγ¨ε ±γ«γ β "Burn out with me." He isn't just bonking you into oblivion and then follows the same fate, he's making a proposal to burn together. IMO, the Japanese feels more intimate and dramatic, the English more detached and abstract.
Chapters: 11/12 Fandom: Elden Ring (Shadow of the Erdtree spoilers) Characters: Messmer, Melina, Queen Marika Additional Tags: Messmer and Melina are twins and Marika is going at it single-mom style,Β featuring assorted Shadow Realm NPC cameos (Black Knight Huw, Count Ymir, Inquisitor Jori, Rellana, Messmerβs assorted knights); the usual greek tragedy family dynamics, a frankly disproportionate amount of worldbuilding, Hornsent culture pre-crusade (is theocratic apartheid), some shipping as set dressing though not until later chapters
Summary:
Those who have never birthed something from a forge think all fires burn the same. Messmer and Melina know better.
