DLC is “the size of Limgrave” my ass, Miyazaki is the greatest troll of all time lmao

Those woods were terrifying

I have had more trouble locating these bosses than beating any of them. I beat Messmir early and now doing all the quests before burning the thorns

When going through the fog you can hug the left wall and it’s a little passage where the madness monster won’t follow you

For the frenzied enemy you can parry it ( parry once it raises its wand not when it’s coming down ) and it becomes vulnerable to damage

As if the Winter Lanterns in Bloodborne weren't hard and terrifying enough, they re-designed them to be even MORE terrifying and difficult. Definitely the most annoying mob enemy in this DLC. Thank you for this guide, man.

One of my favorite bosses in this entire game EASILY! I love the Frenzied Flame as a concept so the fact that it finally got its own boss was just peak Elden Ring to me. I normally rage against bosses but I couldn’t against this guy. I was so hyped in this fight. Awesome boss, cool moves, cool lore, cool area…cool everything. Definitely one of my favorites now.

That frenzied enemy chases me until I’m dead fml

Finally A boss centred around the Frenzied Flame, I’ve been wanting this for a while!

Yes freaking thank you , people kept hiding how to get here . Big thanks iv been trying to get here for my madness guy !

This was the best boss in the dlc imo. The final boss was easily the hardest but this was the coolest and that cutscene was 🔥!!!

Thanks for this, getting through this cursed place was truly madness.

So Im a huge Frenzy Flame nerd, and hearing that there was a boss I got super hyped. I was gonna watch gameplay but I got maybe 10 seconds in before I was like “no, I NEED to experience this for myself.” Thanks for the guide dude, stopped watching about the point you reached the manor, super excited for the experience

I don’t know what I’d do without this tutorial, thanks bro.

If you have it, you should definitely wear Black Knife Armor while making this run. It makes it a lot easier with that madness Bloodborne looking thing chasing you.

for some reason the fog was white for me instead of orange and I didn’t even see the madness monster thing at all, I think it might have something to do with the fact that I was using crepus’s vial but I’m not sure

thank you for keeping it short and sweet

Thanks for the guide dude, I got lost in the abyss and I was running like crazy all over the place looking for any interesting place there 😅 cheers

great guide, btw thanks! with the trinket i mentioned below + your guide, i got right through :)

Man thank you so much.. for helping me opening the rest of the dlc map

My issue with the level and world design found in the DLC is summed up perfectly by the access path to the frenzy forest shown here. If you go to the cerulean coast, or to the grand dragon communion cathedral where you find the dragon lady, or over to the finger ruins in the south and look down or over at the area DIRECTLY next to you (the frenzy forest) you’d start to wonder how you access the area. Every single logical route that you spend hours searching and exploring for around those areas are all ultimately COMPLETELY redundant and useless because the entrance point to access that area all actually begins with one tiny random hidden ladder in the shadow keep, MILES to the north of the area you’re looking to access. And not only is the ladder totally missable even if you’ve walked straight past it (which happened to me) but also looks so small and irrelevant that it’s easy to see it and say “I’ll come back to that later” and you’ll just forget because who would assume that an entire 25% and the DLC map is only accessible via one tiny hidden inconspicuous ladder at the back of shadow keep in an irrelevant part of that legacy dungeon. I understand intricacies and complexities of level design but it all actually just ends up feeling like one long boring practical joke because it’s like “oh what’s that? You want to access a huge area in the south east of the DLC map? Well head way to the north and find the tiny hidden ladder all the way in the shadow keep and follow that route through for miles until you get to the area you wanted to access 2 hours ago and could see from 30 miles to the south.

Thanks for the guide 💯 now to figure out where to go next lol

Great video ma, thank you so much. I recommend sneaking past them. Crazy when the area enemies are harder than the boss!

Thank you so much for the video! I took a different path than you but got back on the right track and got a map piece that took me forever to find! I appreciate the help! May the light of grace guide you on your next victory fellow, Tarnished!

I’m so glad your work picked up on this game! Happy for you!!

Thank god you made this cus I’m watching Kai cenat and I’m tryna catch up

TYSM man it was really helpful, also I’ve learned you can parry the one shot madness enemies at hit them with a critical strike which actually does damage

thanks man been watching these for all the dlc😅

I'm ASTONISHED at the level or creativity in crafting this interwoven world.

Wow bro that helped a lot thank you

Very good content! Keep it up! Thank u very much Sir ❤

Thank you, brother. You don't know how long it took 🙏me to search for it

Holy shit I NEEDED this video

Using black knife tiche armor set plus a dagger with assassin’s gambit ash of war, worked perfectly for me to dodge (sneak) by the enemy’s in abyssal wood. They are invincible and annoying if caught. Hope this helps!!

THANK YOU! A bunch of other dumbass YT were showing how to get here from already being there. I appreciate this comprehensive n simple guide video.

Awesome guide! Thank you!

When you go into the fog with the annoying enemies that you can’t fight, use the Crepus’s Vial Talisman which eliminates all sound by the wearer. That’s the easiest way to get past them. I’m sure there is a tutorial somewhere on how to get the talisman. Pretty handy. Thanks for the walkthrough, it was really helpful. Cheers.

@ConCon you can parry the madness guy in the Abyssal Woods that’s the only way ik that you can kill him is after you parry him the buckler shield makes it dangerously easy

I actually enjoyed this boss honestly the dlc just like past souls games really upped the ante in quality with 3-4 dlc bosses already being some of my favorite ER bosses! I still have 3 left once I beat Messmer and honestly his fight is so fun especially 1 on 1 without using summons I’m having a blast learning his move sets!

Beautiful guide 10/10 would recommend

Just getting to these woods took me forever.. I managed to beat one of those things, bc I’m not good at parrying, I use assassin gamble ash to sneak past these bugs..

Thank you so much I was stumped after killing Mesmer

Excellent! Thanks so much.

Parry shield (I used a buckler) and riposte the frenzy guy. 1 or 2 times and it's done

I had no idea there was an invisible wall there and almost completely missed this are, thank you!

thanks for your guide

Thank you soo much! ^_^

4:33 when you enter the mist, use assassins gambit and run passed the enemy. It won’t notice you and you can just run by it.

Also I’m pretty sure during the night the mist fades and you can actually sneak past the monster

You can parry them , use golden vow and wait for the wand to reach the top of their head and crit strike em then you can attack em after that

can you post a vidoe to how to beat the bosses in order, thx

If anyone is struggling you can also use the “unseen form” spell and “assassins gambit” ash of war to become invisible to the madness monsters

That dungeon was a lovely cake walk, felt like running through the woods from a hatchet wielding maniac, and his friends with the fricken cannon :D just what i like to do on a Tuesday afternoon

Great video. Most people dont keep opening their map to help people. You valid

i found the by accident and i was shocked on how deep i went lmao

Found the Darklight Catacombs by different means. When first told to go down the stone platforms, I continued on instead and eventually found it by accident.

Use a buckler shield to perry the untouchable following you in the fog to kill it. You can only damage it when stunned, you’ll also get a solid Talisman for it

Thanks appreciate this

Once I finally reached the Abyssal Woods, I had to stand there for a moment to comprehend how enormous this DLC is.

Previous games take about a 2 minute route Elden Ring DLC is 7-25 minute route videos

Next guide can you say what things are gonna be in the area cause every time I went into the fog I kept getting touched by rats

thanks for this

If you did not know when they put there finger down that is when you parry and you can damege it even if you do not do a critical damege hope that this helped

To help make it a bit easier use crepus's vial to sneak past those things

Liked and subbed. Thanks!

Amazing advice did what u said and ignored mist guy yeah died instantly

In the cave if you stick too the left and crouch the guy won’t notice you so you don’t have too do a death run away from him

Literally the perfect guide.

You are telling me I missed the ladders and tried to find this area for 15 hours straight only to be entered from the entire other side of the map. Funny Miyazaki, very funny. 😂

You can parry the eye ball creatures, ik some have already said that, and then you can kill it and once it's dead it won't respond till you start a new game

you are a mith !! Without you I couldn' t find this boss.. either in 100 years.. 😰

Wearing the black knife set seemed to help get through the swamp

if u wanna atk that big head frenzy in the woods, u gotta parry him, that will make him vulnerable

you can avoid that part at 4:30 when he goes into the fog dodging that weird thing. at the sight of grace just before it take a right and head for the top left corner of the woods to find another grace then go south

That creature that inflicts madness...after it stops chasing me, I come upon 2 of them (plus a rat) and I just cant get away from them.

If you equip crepes’s vale or black Knight armour you can just sneak past everything

The lore implications this boss has alone

if anyone is struggling in the swamp part? if you toss on "crebus's vial" ; a trinket that removes all sound while moving, you literally have nothing attack you the entire time! good luck friends!

Thank you for this vid !!!!

damn this expansion is huge.. 50+ hours in and havent seen this yet

amazing, thanks!

God this dlc is awesome but without guides I wouldn’t come this far 😂😂

Use Crespus's Vial Talisman when running through the woods. It saved me so much time.

If you use assassin’s approach, you can make it through the fog without being attacked at all

I use the black knife armor set because it eliminates sound and didn’t alert the guys you can’t kill… ran right threw them! 🤷🏾‍♂️

For the enemy you can't fight there is a thing close right behind him you can walk on and it goes over him kinda

They seem to have added a heavy fog in this area that makes it very difficult to see where you're going

Now he knows who's the real lord of frenzy flame 😎

Can’t believe I missed this shit….maybe it’s the only boss I missed in the dlc good thing I’m already in the dlc for the new game plus 3 lmao

Equip the black knife armor to silence your foot steps and hug the left wall tight.go around the back of the trees, and you can avoid those madness inducing ghost.

use the bloodfiends arm w/ blood affinity on this guy he staggers in 3 charged heavies and makes the fight light work

I want to be able to get that Frenzy head from the second phase.

Sweet, thanks!

BTW if you wear crepus vial talisman or black knife armor you can sneak around the left of the frenzy enemy and completely avoid him

Better idea for the unkillable enemy, use the brush and assissin's gambit, and other stealth based buffs to sneak around it.

Bro their are two of them and I get stunned and grabbed. :)

You can go to the right side of the site of grace and work through the grass to avoid those enemies, that’s what I did, much easier than just running from him and rolling the whole time lol

The woods and mansion are giving me Bloodborne vibes

You do know that you can parry those madness eyeball things to hit them

for this crazy enemy, I used assassin's gambit and crouched in the grass and it never noticed me still scary asf
