Messmer The Impaler recommended level?

[CommonHominid]

Currently my Scadutree Blessing is at level 11, my character level is at 200, and I am getting absolutely annihilated by Messmer. Out of all the bosses so far his movesets have been the hardest for me to figure out. What level do you recommend for this boss?

Im not to him yet but have been reading a lot of discussion posts. A lot of the other Messmer fighters are at +17 from what Ive seen.

Right on, well I guess it's back to exploring for now then, thank you for the reply!

[moo moo man]

I think i beat him around +10, hes not too bad my level was also around 125

[MysticGospel]

I just beat him at lvl 200 with +9 blessing.

+10 at around 150 felt pretty comfortable. I'm not good enough at exploring to get to +17 like a lot of people are saying, but if you have the patience for it I don't think there's really such a thing as underpreparing for a boss like messmer, good luck!

I beat him with 89% fire resistance.

Dude was only doing 11% of his normal damage. I could literally spam Heal throughout the fight while my mimic bodied him. He threw me around like a ragdoll for sure but you can't kill me if you can't outdps my regeneration.

wtf i killed him at 10 he was a nice challenge but not unbeatable.... he has very big punish windows and everything is pretty easy to avoid the only attack that is very precise and that is his spear rush where he does multiple hits. just try to doge and punish when he recovers....

He gave me a severe beating at blessing lvl 10 when I first tried. Maybe I can learn to beat him there, but I´m not in a hurry. I will continue my explorations and try different weapons, find more fragments etc. I´m also returning to the base game to find some protective talismans and tears etc that I didn´t use to need. But I need them now,.

honestly after my first 15~ attempts or so I couldnt figure out how to dodge the spear rush without at least taking 1 or 2 hits, so I just fire infused a banished knight shield, and then held it up after rolling the first part of the combo. The spear rush seems to be split fire and physical damage so even a half decent shield blocks most of it from what I've seen, and after that you can easily strafe and dodge the aoe for a punish.

If you have an actual consistent way to roll that, it'd be good to know for NG+ because that move was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nightmare to problem solve.

I killed him by using endure and while lifestealing with malenia's great rune, my blessing was at 15 during that time with level 150

[HoneyDrake]

I beat him around ~+8.

You are pretty much baiting him to do his gap closers, avoid them, attack. All of his attacks you can easily dodge with light rolls. The majority of his attacks are some joke to avoid, nothing difficult at all, including his "spear rush" (which is incredible easy to punish).

And that's the same theme for... every other DLC boss

well rolling into him was a 70% chance to evade the whole attack and then there is the talisman that augments your dodge roll also helps but you get less resistances....

light roll into his 2nd part, roll away for his 3rd hit behind him. He covers less space behind him. hell: if you are good you can even stand still during his 2nd attack and he won't hit you once, did it multiply times believing I wanted to retry his first phase only to end up not getting hit once and rarely like once or twice
