Messmer is Actually the Good Guy

The Elden Ring community has had a field day since its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC was first announced last year. Likewise, players have often been proposing theories that would explain the events that took place in the main storyline and the ones that are going to happen in the coming extension, with one speculation even predicting how Messmer the Impaler is not the villain the players think he is.

Not much is yet known about who the snake and flame-wielding NPC really is, but everything will finally be revealed to players when the DLC comes out on 21st June, next month, and it might just bring the answer to how Queen Marika is related to the new character.

The official gameplay trailer for the DLC was released after much waiting on the 21st of February, giving us an insight into what exactly Hidetaka Miyazaki, the renowned director of Elden Ring and other Soulsborne games has in store for the players. The said trailer gave us a look at many new weapons, areas, and even enemies, but someone that managed to stand out the most was none other than Messmer the Impaler.

, he might not be the bad guy everyone believes him to be. According to the post, it was Queen Marika who was in a union with none other than Dragonlord Placidusax, her third secret husband, and ultimately gave birth to Melina and Messmer.

Queen Marika is the mother of Messmer the Impaler

The speculation further dives into how Messmer helped Marika by helping her get rid of the ***** Giants and other similar enemies that would have proved to be an obstacle to her leadership. Following these events, the theory predicts Messmer fell into the void of guilt and realized how his mother, Marika, was up to no good, causing him to use the very flame he used to get rid of the giants to set ablaze the Erdtree.

Through the storyline that the players have experienced for themselves in the main game, many would know how it does not end well for those who dare defy the Golden Order, with the ***** Giants being a showcase example of this. Following the Erdtree being possibly set ablaze by Messmer the Impaler, the afore-mentioned user believes how he was banished back to the Land of Shadow, which was covered by a concealing vail so Marika would not be reminded of her son and the past.
