Among the numerous endings in Elden Ring, the Frenzied Flame is one of the more enigmatic paths. To unlock this conclusion, Tarnished must brave the scarlet flames of the underground chaos and forge an unlikely pact. Here is a guide on obtaining the Frenzied Flame ending.

Entering the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds

Players will first need access to the underground area known as the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. This can be unlocked after defeating Morgott in Leyndell. Players should then seek the underground passage near the sewers behind the capital.

Surviving the Scarlet Rot

Venturing into the Shunning-Grounds subjects Tarnished to relentless scarlet rot. Powerful Elden Ring items that boost immunity, like Rotten Wing Insignia, can help endure the disease. Purifying crystals and Boluses also aid survival through this fungal wasteland.

Defeating Misbegotten & Crucible Knight

A duo of Misbegotten Warrior and Crucible Knight guards a drop down towards the Three Fingers. Overcoming this tough fight opens the path deeper underground.

Reaching the Cathedral of the Frenzied Flame

Beyond is a massive pit with a broken bridge and ravine containing numerous Rotten Stray sorcerers. Carefully navigating allows reaching the Cathedral beyond, where the lord of chaos awaits...

Forging the Pact with the Three Fingers

Interacting with the Frenzied Flame seal burns the player with its flames. This allows communion with the outer god, though also curses the Tarnished with the flame of frenzy. The path to the ending is now unlocked.

Defeating Elden Beast

With the Frenzied Flame's power, players can continue through the story as normal. The final battle against Elden Beast can commence after besting Fire Giant and Maliketh. Once felled, the Frenzied Flame cuts its own path to the Elden Ring.

The Frenzied Flame Ending

With the Elden Ring now under frenzy's influence, the world plunges into an era of chaos and madness as the Frenzied Flame consumes everything. This concludes Elden Ring's darkest and most destructive ending path.
