How to get to Messmer the Impaler
Strategy for defeating Messmer the Impaler
- The first phase of the battle is similar to that of Rellana. This is a duel against a humanoid that moves very fast and hits several times in a row. You can block or dodge all of his attacks, and then throw two or three hits.
- After his health is reduced by half, Messmer will transform.
- In this second phase, it will have two very dangerous attacks. One is to summon giant snakes, which he will launch at you up to three times; block or dodge. In the other, he will stand up, a sure sign that he will then perform a powerful fire attack in a potentially deadly area. In this case, it is best to run as soon as he rises.
After the fight, you will have obtained the Messmer’s Kindling, a key item that is essential for the continuation of the story in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. There is nothing else to do in this place, so your next objective is the fifth final boss of Shadow of the Erdtree: Romina, Saint of the Bud.
