How to beat Messmer the impaler - Boss fight NG+4 - ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree DLC [4K]

-"Those stripped of the Grace of Gold shall all meet death. In the embrace of Messmer's flame."

Messmer was a son of Queen Marika the Eternal. He was born with a dark serpent inside him that threatened to subsume him, which Messmer has called the Abyssal Serpent; Marika was able to contain its influence by removing one of Messmer's eyes and replacing it with a seal.

Ever since his accursed birth, Messmer was in constant company of the winged snakes.

At some point, Messmer and Commander Gaius acted as "older brothers" to General Radahn.

Long before the Shattering, Messmer was charged by his mother with carrying out a purge of the tower-dwelling people of the Land of Shadow, who did not bear the light of grace. At some point, Messmer was abandoned in the Land of Shadow, but continued to zealously enforce the purge even though Marika ceased all contact with him.

Amongst his army, Messmer considered Black Knight Commander Andreas and Black Knight Captain Huw his brothers-in-arms, yet they ultimately rebelled upon finding out about his serpentine nature.
