    On the subject of size, I believe that in lore, everything is much bigger than how it’s represented in game. Look at the trailers, the size of the armies attacking the capital is absolutely enormous. With the exceptions of the castles, my head cannon is that everything is the base game is representative of an actual landscape 10x the size with the dlc being between 1-3x. This is a concept they also used in Skyrim - a major city with only 30 people is ridiculous, but in lore there’s probably at least a couple thousand, but video games have limitations and a giant empty city isn’t any fun anyway.

      Yeah that's almost certainly that way. Otherwise the entire Lands Between would be comically small at less than 70km². Barely bigger than Manhattan.
      However characters talk about it like it's the size of a smaller continent. For example when Alexander goes to Caelid he doesn't say he's gonna just walk a little but it's like an actual journey to him.

I think they're exaggerated to show how powerful they are.. I forget which boss it was.. Maybe Godrick the Grafted? When I fought him he was huge. After I bear him his corpse was normal sized.

      There's a reason he's the final boss again. Gameplay and lore wise, he curbs Messmer. Even if you only use first phase Radahn without Miquella, he's stronger than Messmer. And that's a fair fight because it's base Radahn without a Great Rune against Messmer with outside help from the Abyssal Serpent.
      The gameplay reflects the lore. The official lore book even states that Radahn is the strongest demigod, and it was released after SOTE so it includes Messmer.

The one that depicts him is seen when he transforms into it to attack us, while the other one is what he uses to command it to attack us while in his demigod form.

    I've seen people make the case that Messmer is incredibly strong due to his current strength while not having a Great Rune. Makes sense but I disagree, I don't think a Great Rune necessarily makes one all that more powerful. Radahn was at his peak BEFORE having a Great Rune and Godfrey conquered the world while not even having a Great Rune, afterall.
    Also, I don't think Rellana is more powerful than Rennala considering Rennala was THE Carian Champion.

      @damienmcneff7715 Yeah Great Runes do impart attribute increases but that doesn't necessarily make one make one stronger per se or a more adept fighter. I think Messmer for sure is the cream of the crop just on the count of him being a born and bred soldier similar to Radahn, Godfrey, and although the verdict is out on his but possibly Radagon.
      As for Rellana, I just attribute the higher requirements due to player characters being so high by the time you get to the DLC. Her Twin Moon would break Rennala's Full Moon if the requirements were a lot lower.

      I think the Greatrunes are just buffs to your already existing/innate talents. Thats why the Messmer not having one and being able to hold his own to the stronger demigods is a big thing. Would he have one, we could make the argument that he could surpass people like Prime Radahn and Melania (and later Rotgoddess Melania).

  • @jamesbell1186
    @jamesbell1186 2 місяці тому +12

    4:45 I'd argue Messmer is not an Empyrean namely because Ranni exists. Ranni proves that parentage of a single god is not what's required to make an Empyrean, and Malenia's description is referring to her curse as a result of being born of a single god, not her Empyrean status. It's more likely that to be an Empyrean you have to be female, as every single one of Marika/Radagon's daughters is an Empyrean. Miquella is male and is also an Empyrean, however he has a female alter ego which probably still makes him a candidate. This is probably related to Gods requiring a Lord.

  • @VictorIV0310
    @VictorIV0310 2 місяці тому +1

    One of the most underrated aspects of Shadow of the Erdtree is the logistics, tactics and composition of Messmer's army. Roaming across the Realm Of Shadow, you can see just how brutal and efficient their crusade was with destroyed and burnt down towns, impaled corpses charred with Messmerfire and furnace golems roaming the land. Forts with soldiers guarding passes and squads fighting the land's beatss are also a common sight.
    Just thinking of the many different horrible fates suffered by the Hornsent can also be haunting to think about. Burned and impaled on pikes, becoming reduced to shadows after being burned (And possibly being unable to die due to the Scaduetree or the suppression of death in the realm), beaten and branded with serpent flails before stuffed into furnace golems (Like the shamans in Bonny Village, in a cruel twist of irony), being infected and turned into manflies or devolving into bloodfiends.

    @JAYbePRINCE 2 місяці тому +16

    I personally consider it better to compare him to in game characters, since that's what most of us came for.
    Messmer is objectively, the STRONGEST DEMIGOD.
    And for that we have 2 arguments:
    Marika's fear - messmer, a non confirmed imperian is getting a far greater degree of care for his curse from the strongest being in the verse than malenia herself, just to make even the dumbest monkey understand, malenia, the same being capable of nuking a continent, one of the only 3 confirmed being in the verse capable of succeeding Marika, is receiving a far lower degree of care than Messmer.
    Is this justified? Yes. The thorns of the erdtree are told to be only capable of burning by a world ending flame aka.Giant's flame and frenzied flame; messmerflame being capable of burning them represents the absurd power this flames posses.
    To add insult to injury the base serpent is the biggest of Marika's worries, so... Quess what are the other 2 things with a serpentine nature marika has to worry about, That's right, the world devouring serpent(capable of literally swallowing the world) and the gloam eyed queen(the only reason empyrians die(aka.the previous user of destined death), meaning messmer has a deep relation with one of those 2... Or both.
    Radahn's admiration - do i seriously need to explain why having the STRONGEST DEMIGOD OF THE SHATTERING admire Messmer is an absolute testament to his power.
    In fact it's even worse considering the fact that radahn's title implies he's only the strongest because Mesmer isn't there.
    .

    You know what i lied, it's all on me, he's got one more argument to see, he made his aunty fall for him, need i really to explain this?

  • @fishdish9835
    @fishdish9835 9 днів тому +1

    There is only one reason Mesmer was hidden away. It was because of shame. Marika was ashamed of him. He was the result of her own usurpation of the natural order. A ravenous serpent that never knew satisfaction. Born of Malice and Madness. The Abyssal serpent is just another flame. Just another hungry beast. The reality is that there are so many different kinds of flames because all of them are rooted in the one great. There was a time all of the flames were once melded together. They all existed to destroy and unify all at once. For it is in death that all are made equal. That is why Marika divided them. Weakened them. Tried to make them devices for her order. It is why the rune of death was sealed. Why the fire of the Apostles was faded. Why the omens are born with blood that ignites and engulfs all in red flames. Blood is the life. It is the source of life. It is the fuel that ignites the fire of ambition.
    It is for this reason that Mesmer is so dangerous. Mesmer is the fire of ambition that once burned in Marika. The deep abyss of hunger that she wanted to lock away. The hunger for vegnance and the will to kill. To destroy.

    for you to say ranni is a rare occurrence we would need more than 3 empyreans as examples because miquella and malenia are twins but are also the only confirmed radagon/marika kids I agree it’s highly likely messmer and Melina are kids of the two but it’s not confirmed and they still wouldn’t be empyreans because the two fingers are the ones who give that title out and flames probably aren’t gonna be looked at favorably especially when the fire giants were fought just for having a flame capable of burning the tree all in all there’s 4 confirmed empyreans the GEQ who is a complete unknown unless you assume she was Melina which while that’s the most likely suspect it’s not confirmed miquella and malenia who support your theory and ranni who contradicts it this isn’t a big enough sample size to make any conclusions epically when we’re told the fingers choose the candidates and we are given no criteria besides malenia’s remberence which ranni contradicts or at least proves isn’t the only thing that can get you picked

    Godwyn and Messmer fought when Godfrey and Radagon fought so I assume they're the two strongest demigods by a good margin since they never got great runes. I like to imagine that Messmer and Rellana met and fell in love during the the Lurnian Wars, mirroring Radagon and Rennal, but they strike me as a fierce rivalry that became a quiet admiration and then secret love. I think that's why we don't get much about the Queen's sister, she gave up everything for the Crusade and stands guard at a strategic location between Gravesight Plain and Scadu Altus. They're both incredibly tragic figures, Messmer bound to his mother and Rellana bound to Messmer, and neither ever truly get what they really wanted.

And if Radahn is = to Gaius, and Mesmer is above Gaius, I’d defo say Mesmer is up there as well. I’d rank him on around the level of Nova Shenron from DBZ.
