About this item

Remembrance of Messmer the Impaler, hewn into the Scadutree.

The power of its namesake can be unlocked by the Finger Reader.

Alternatively, it can be used to gain a great bounty of runes.

A malevolent snake writhed within Messmer, and so his very mother plucked out his eye and put in its place a seal of grace. Yet, having done so, her fear compelled her to secret away her child within the realm of shadow.

Hidden away—keeping company with the original sin, and a hatred that would not be confined.

Messmer the Impaler

Scadu Altus

Starting Site of Grace: Dark Chamber Entrance

Before you go

• Enter the Realm of Shadow.

1. Enter Shadow Keep from Scadu Altus, defeat the Golden Hippopotamus and follow the side passages up to the burning-boat rampart.
2. Take the large lift beyond the Fire Knight into Storehouse, First Floor. Follow the inner stairs upward until you can climb the hanging specimen to Storehouse, Fourth Floor.
3. Use the fourth-floor exterior walkway, climb past the Fire Knight and re-enter the Storehouse. Continue up the stairs to Storehouse, Seventh Floor.
4. Find the lever below the seventh-floor route and pull it to reposition the suspended specimens.
5. Cross from the lever-floor balcony onto the wooden beam. Climb the newly positioned specimen route and jump from the horns to the higher balcony.
6. Leave onto the exterior stairs and cross the bridge guarded by a Fire Knight. Open the double doors, climb to Dark Chamber Entrance and activate the grace.
7. Enter Messmer's arena and defeat the full encounter for the remembrance.

Notes

• Take it to Finger Reader Enia at Roundtable Hold to choose a reward: Spear of the Impaler or Messmer's Orb.
• Consuming it gives 40,000 runes and spends the remembrance. Check the unique rewards before choosing the runes.
• A Walking Mausoleum with a bell or a remembrance-duplication coffin in the Realm of Shadow can make another copy after you have earned it. Each mausoleum or coffin can be used once.
• Duplication still works after the original has been exchanged or consumed. It does not reset the stock of an Enia reward you already claimed in this journey.
• Defeating Messmer advances several NPC quests. Finish their earlier conversations and optional summon choices before entering his arena.
• Spear of the Impaler is a great spear whose heavy attacks throw it without consuming an ammunition stack. Messmer's Orb is an incantation cast with a sacred seal.
• Messmer's Kindling is a separate quest item awarded by the victory. Spending the remembrance does not consume the kindling, and you do not have to burn the sealing tree immediately.
