Shadow of the Last Stand: A Glimpse into Messmer’s Ruthless Army

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s desolate landscapes hint at the devastation left by Messmer’s relentless campaign. Players traverse the war-torn Land of Shadow, piecing together the conflicts that unfolded. But a chance encounter on the eastern cliff of Ellac Greatbridge unveils a surprising depth to Messmer’s army.

Here, a small contingent of seemingly ordinary soldiers engages in a desperate last stand against towering Bloodfiend giants. Their struggle appears frozen in time, a testament to the relentless conflict plaguing the land. Closer inspection reveals these are Messmer’s own troops, identified by their basic gear — Common Soldier Greaves and Helmets.

This detail establishes a clear hierarchy within Messmer’s forces. While elite soldiers fire upon trespassers from a secure, tented camp, these commoners are sent on perilous missions into monster-infested areas. The stark contrast suggests a ruthless leader who prioritizes his own safety and that of his inner circle, leaving the underlings to face the horrors of the Land of Shadow.

Further evidence of Messmer’s destructive agenda comes from other encounters. His camps are often under attack by dragons, showcasing his unwavering commitment to purging the land of all resistance, human or beast. This, coupled with the stark division within his army, paints Messmer as a villain driven by a superiority complex and a thirst for absolute domination.

Shadow of the Erdtree expands upon Messmer’s narrative, but the full picture remains veiled. The internal politics and machinations of his army are shrouded in mystery. Nonetheless, these details solidify Messmer’s formidable position and establish his forces as a worthy adversary within the unforgiving world of Elden Ring. The encounter on the Ellac Greatbridge serves as a chilling reminder that the true cost of Messmer’s campaign is far greater than initially perceived.
