Who is the Frenzied Flame?

The Lord of the Frenzied Flame, known as the Frenzied Flame itself, is a major entity in the world of Elden Ring, a role-playing game developed by FromSoftware. It is a formless sacred seal that can destroy the entire world, bringing chaotic destruction and ruin to everything. So, who is this powerful being that wreaks havoc in the Lands Between, and what are its motivations?

The Story of the Frenzied Flame

According to the lore of Elden Ring, the Frenzied Flame is an Outer God that wants to bring about chaos and destruction throughout the Lands Between. It is believed that the Frenzied Flame originated from the same realm as the Inner Gods, who are revered figures in the game’s world. Inner Gods are responsible for maintaining the delicate balance of the Lands Between, ensuring a balance between order and chaos, and are often revered for their power and wisdom.

In stark contrast, the Frenzied Flame seeks to disrupt this delicate balance and bring about change through chaos and destruction. Despite its destructive tendencies, the Frenzied Flame is a complex figure whose motivations are shrouded in mystery. It is not clear what forces drive it to seek chaos, or how it manages to achieve its goals with relative ease.
