I got rekt pretty hard and had to backtrack several times. i'm heading East now, where I was supposed to go according to Needle Knight Leda's letter but i'm pretty sure Messmer is a main DLC boss, so I think i'll have to come back eventually after I respec or lvl up.

I'm trying not to use PVE summons for bosses rn (only spirit ashes) but I still have no idea where i'm supposed to go cuz I can't find any of Miquella's footprints. Right now i'm stuck at the edge of the map where Gravesite Plains ends, near a giant mountain next to a ravine with what appears to be a scarlet rot swamp below and a path leading eastward but I can't find a way down safely.

I think I might have to beat Messmer first and go back to Belurat Tower, burn down the Scadutree with Messmer's Flame and unseal Belurat Tower first, so I can access the next area maybe, either that or i'm missing something.

Any tips on beating Messmer? I'm struggling hard rn

Hey Alys, how's the Elden Ring DLC going?
