After centuries of abandonment, Marika finally sends a message to her son. She doesn’t send praise, or an offering to come home. She sends you as an executioner. Messmer is right to hate us

[@jullysaw6214]

Messmer is also right to curse her. Blasted Marika and her deranged offspring. However... I do wish we didn't have to end him after the fight

[@patorikku6041]

He doesnt hate us though, he just does what he has been told. If he knew he was abandoned earlier perhaps he wouldnt bother fighting us

[@VictorIV0310]

Or another interpretation: In front of Messmer stands someone who, by all accounts, should be spurned by the grace of Gold and forsaken just as he is. Yet here they stand, guided by Marika's grace and deemed worthy to become Elden Lord, while he was left to rot in the Land of Shadow. He, who had obediently followed her orders of bringing ruin to the Hornsent and ruling over the Land of Shadow for who knows how long. He, who had to live by a fire and curse within him that he so despised yet was discared, presumbably out of fear from Marika. In that moment, he had come to realize that his mother had truly forsaken him. Perhaps that is why he plucks his false eye out and unleashes the Base Serpent, for he cannot accept that the Tarnished could become a Lord, seemingly because it meant that Marika placed more value in them than him.

I kinda like how Messmer sounds surprised and confused to see that you're Tarnished. Its almost like he's asking why you're here of all places.

[@manofsalt7211]

Like he's so bewildered by how much of a detour you have taken from your quest of becoming elden lord to end up before him. Then right after, he sounds almost offended at Marika for "letting" you even come this far and decides to end you while you're there. Love the second phase line too. As if Miquella trying to replace his Mother as God of the lands between is not that big a problem, but a graceless tarnished on the throne is where he draws the line.

also, he knows what a tarnished is, meaning either the realm was sealed after godfrey lost grace or messmer went to the land of shadows after godfrey lost grace. which also could mean that all of those crusades led by radagon (or godfrey) could be messmer's, as he was erased from history. i mean he does have red hair, and someone's gotta have impaled all those giants on the peak. so he probably impaled the giants, burned the tarnished, and marched to the land of shadows to quell the hornsent. cool right?

[@CrozierCrow]

@@jakewilliamson2991 It's not specifically in reference to racism certainly discrimination in general. Historically the largest divide was never between race, but class. The Tarnished aren't a race, they're low-born warriors and typically seen with ill-repute, like hired mercenaries or Ronin. A royal lineage being ousted and overthrown by a foot-soldier -not even one of theirs- is a disgrace to them. Their system was never for anyone else, much like kingdoms of old. You can't ask for permission to be accepted, it had to be taken by force. Hence so many colonial wars and rebellions. Imagine a feudal Japanese lord who has practiced ceremonies and thousands of "honourable" traditions just to be taken out by some dude, no less important than you or I.

It's an interesting line for sure! Messmer's drops state that he was born corrupted, with the Abyssal snake. Marika feared it and replaced one of Messmer's eyes with a seal that locked the snake away, and then sent Messmer away to the shadow realm to cleanse it of the hornsent. When Messmer breaks the eye seal in desperation, to stop the unholy Tarnished from becoming the Elden Lord, his phase two victory leaves him doomed to succumb to his corruption.

His bemusement at recognizing you as a Tarnished is really interesting. First of all the voice acting is phenomenal. But anyway, it’s not just that it’s bizarre to run into your kind here of all places - no, upon recognizing you as Tarnished, he somehow instantly knows you’re there under the guidance of Marika, sent across the fog to pursue Lordship. Like, this state of affairs is so obvious to him that there’s no other conceivable reason for your presence. Pretty fascinating IMO

[@keithfilibeck2390]

he clearly new Marika the best, and is one of the few non-crazy kids of hers, and one of the few who hates her the most, for the best reasons, but still feels compelled to follow the orders of his Godly Mother.

[@SteelBallRun1890]

@@keithfilibeck2390 He clearly loves Mommy Marika, it's just that he's been waging this "holy war" for her for years, maybe decades or centuries, but not much as a peep from her, so seeds of doubt is obviously gonna pile up. Marika sent him here to kill two birds with one stone. Vengeance on the Hornsents, and to hide away Messmer and the Abyssal Sin Serpent coiled to him, even with her eye magic seal inscribed on Messmer she couldn't take the chance. So when you, Tarnished, known as people who follow the Grace of Marika, comes trotting in his keep. Well, I'm pretty sure that's the last straw for his doubt to bloom full and realize Marika abandoned him. The irony is that Metyr, the Mother of Fingers, the mother of the Two Fingers that may have seduced Marika into godhood, had the same outcome. Abandoned by her father, the Greater Will, and is now just acting upon what she thinks would be best for GW's interest, yet no communication will ever talk to her back.

[@ggwp638BC]

He most likely saw the Tarnished being cast away, so meeting one after so long it's crazy to him. Also, it's not just that he knows we are under the grace of gold, but most dialogue points to the DLC being canonically set AFTER we establish our Order. In which case, we are Elden Lord. Messmer is unaware of the shattering and that we were guided by the fingers/Ranni/Chaos/someone else, from his perspective his mom just decided to fool around once more.

And he sounds so dedicated in his mission to wipe out those abandoned by grace, even the Tarnished, who were called by his own mother, Marika, to become Elden Lord.

[@Kylec0pezTR]

It's because he is. Tarnished aren't really present at all in the land of shadow so the fact that one managed to make it all the way up to him catches him off guard.

[@xelliepurr]

@@Kylec0pezTR this is probably right tbh, Thiollier is the only other Tarnished in the DLC afaik

[@HeevaTheBeloved]

@@xelliepurr completely unrelated: but him being surprised by the Tarnished is more tragic than you think. Messmer lived his entire life in the Shadow of his mother. He took the blame for all her atrocities, becoming a symbol of fear. Marika, out of fear of the serpent, would then lock away her son in the Realm of Shadows, forever acting as a sort of Lucifer for Hell - in perpetually burning all who are not deemed worthy of an honourable life in the Lands Above, the Lands Between. He takes this role, not of pride, but of duty. He hates himself, yet he continues to carry on his mother’s crusade….. however, as we get closer to the current timeline, and as we get closer to Messmer’s end, he begins doubts. He’s becoming tired, you hear it in his voice. He killed so much, defiled so many, that he no longer bares any feeling. His men are losing faith in the crusade, his men believe that Mother Marika abandoned them. Messmer is aware of this, and henceforth beheads every statue of Marika in the Land of Shadows, representing their feelings towards Marika’s betrayal. However, Messmer still has one statue of Marika, fully intact, in his chamber. And this statue is a hopeful reminder that, one day, Marika WILL return to him, that she will NOT abandon him. He’s holding onto the last bit of hope that his Mother still loves him. And then…. We, the Tarnsihed, come along. We who are personally enlisted by Marika to destroy the Order and become her Lord, we who were capable becoming her true champion. Messmer lived his entire life thinking his purpose as Hell’s sent is to serve Marika, and that her abandonment was merely a sign that she placed trust in him. Yet, here we are, entering his chamber, where he questions that we - a lowborn group of people - were worth more to Marika than Messmer. “Mother, wouldst thou truly lordship sanction in one so bereft of light?” He’s perplexed. That a tarnished of no renown, who has no personal relationship with Marika, is seen by her as being more worthy than her very own Firstborn son. It is so that Messmer breaks. He finally gives in. Once we defeat him, he finally curses Marika. For abandoning him, for betraying him, and for never being a mother to him. He’s killed by the tarnished champion of the very Mother who left him. Voice actor did an incredible job. Scriptwriters (probably Miyazaki, considering he personally handwrites all of the boss dialogue in the games) did an incredible job. George RR Martin and Miyazaki did an incredible job with his character. Like, Messmer is so tragic, so hopeful, so evil, so heroic. Such an interesting character, who fittingly meets his end at the hands of someone who his mother deemed more worthy than him.

I like one special detail messmer is literally already fused with the snakes on his body (look at his leg and other parts of his body where scales are present) and he can see through their eyes which explains how he could see you were tarnished before he stood but it also explains his armor mainly on the left shoulder and also explains why they are wrapped in the same cloth

[@brontiago]

In the intro, Messmer mentions that for some reason unknown to him, Marika gave permission to the Tarnished, probably to come back to the Lands Between and claim the Elden Ring. Messmer was ordered to kill anything “devoid of light”, so despite the Tarnished having Marika’s approval, he still tries to kill the Tarnished. In the second scene, he says that he doesn’t want to be ruled by a Tarnished. Then he apologizes to Marika because he’s either about to kill the Tarnished (which Marika wouldn’t want) or because he’s embracing the serpent curse that Marika hated.
