In Elden Ring, you have a huge selection of weapons to annihilate enemies, but one stands out in particular: the Langhorn of the Messenger. This instrument is a true boss killer and can melt even the toughest health bars with its unique talent.
What kind of weapon is this? This is the Langhorn of the Messenger, a golden horn with a twisted appearance. At first, this instrument looks unremarkable and silly, but it is a powerful tool that can melt boss enemies.
After a few trumpet sessions with this instrument, your opponent will dissolve into bubbles. We will show you why this weapon is so powerful and why you should give it a try.
Your opponents will be annihilated by bubbles
How strong is the weapon? The Langhorn of the Messenger has long been considered a hidden gem in the community for those struggling with bosses, the reason: the weapon’s talent deals incredible damage.
If you don’t believe us, Reddit user Vapeflower posted a video where he takes down the dragon Placidusax:
The power of the Langhorn lies in its talent: Bubble Fountain. With it, the Tarnished can unleash a barrage of many small and sacred bubbles on opponents. These deal high damage and explode upon impact with the target. If you have the right equipment and maximize the damage of the talent, even large boss sponges can be torn apart in seconds.
Where do I get the weapon? You obtain the weapon from the Messengers who play this instrument. Either head to the capital wall of Leyndell or to Miquella’s Haligbaum and defeat the Messengers wielding this instrument.
Note that the drop rate for the weapon is very low, and you will likely need to farm for hours. However, you can also ask for a free copy in the Trading Subreddit for Souls games (via reddit.com), as the Tarnished there are happy to help.
How do I increase the weapon’s damage? The weapon’s talent can be increased with selected equipment. You should wear the following items:
- Messenger Crown – Increases the talent damage of your bubble attacks by 15 %
- Location: Can be dropped by Messengers
- Carian Filigree Shield – Reduces FP consumption of talents by 25 %
- Location: Can be purchased from Iji the Carian blacksmith
- Shard of Alexander – Increases your talent damage by 15 %
- Location: Follow Alexander’s quest and defeat him one last time
- Holy Scorpion Talisman – Increases the holy damage you deal by 12 %, but also increases the physical damage you take by 10 %
- Location: Dropped by Anastasia when you defeat her in the Smoldering Wall in Caelid
- Ritual Sword Talisman – Increases your damage by 10 % when you have maximum health
- Location: Found in a chest in the ruins of Lux on Atlus Plateau
Additionally, you can use summons to further increase damage. It is advisable to take the “Golden Oath” as it increases your attack and defense.
Once you have considered all these factors, you just need to level up your hero properly and nothing can stand in your way. We have compiled further guides to quests and builds in our overview: Elden Ring: All guides, beginner tips, and builds in overview
