The most difficult ending to achieve in Elden Ring is the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending. To get this ending you need to undertake a pretty obtuse and esoteric quest, meaning you might not ever come across it over the course of your standard play. You’ll need to delve deep underneath the city of Leyndell and find the ancient Cathedral of the Forsaken. That’s quite a feat in itself, but you’ll be able to find all of these locations by following our guide.
In this guide we’ll give you all of the information and directions you need in order to find the Three Fingers, claim the Flame of Frenzy, and get the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending in Elden Ring. It's only fitting for one of the best open world games.
Finding the Three Fingers underneath Leyndell – Elden Ring
You will first need to have found the Leyndell Sewer, which can either be accessed by a ladder hidden away in Leyndell before it turns to ash, or can be found through a hole in the ground once it becomes the Ashen City.
Once you’ve found the Subterranean Shunning Grounds Site of Grace, you will need to venture deep below to find the first boss you’ll need to overcome, Mohg, the Omen. Mohg is a tough fight, but he’s merely guarding the gate to progress forward. After you take down Mohg and rest at the Site of Grace that appears, roll or attack the wall at the back of the room behind a chest, and it will open up, revealing a new path forward.
This next area is tricky – you’ll need to descend, but there are no staircases or ladders here. You’ll simply need to land on the coffins jutting out of the walls. Tactically using your run and jump inputs will allow you to steadily and slowly descend, before finally reaching the bottom. Once you safely reach the end, the floor will fall through, revealing the Frenzied Flame Proscription door.
Opening the Frenzied Flame Proscription door – Elden Ring
Once at the bottom of this shaft, you’ll find the Frenzied Flame Proscription Site of Grace, and an imposing door with a strange riddle. If you have Milena with you, you can chat to her at the Site of Grace.
The hint is that only wretches can pass through. If you’re a dedicated FromSoftware fan you’ll know what this means immediately, but for everyone else, think back to the start of the game. The Wretch is the starting class with the least amount of experience and gear.
In order to pass through the door, you need to be naked. Unequip all gear and weapons, including talismans.
The Lord of Frenzied Flame ending – Elden Ring
Once you have entered the door and embraced the Three Fingers, you will have the Frenzied Flame within you. Milena will leave you at this point, if she’s still present. Now you just need to activate the Fractured Marika, which you can only find after beating Elden Ring’s final boss, the Elden Beast.
Once you have the Frenzied Flame, you can only activate the Frenzied Flame ending. Removing the Frenzied Flame is possible if you decide you do not want this ending, but the quest to achieve it is even longer than this one.
Depending on whether Milena was still with you when you earned the Frenzied Flame, you can see a slightly different cutscene to close out the game. That’s all the Elden Ring you get to see until we get DLC or a robust update.
