In Elden Ring, players may want to remove the curse of Frenzied Flame if they want to change the ultimate outcome and ending of their game. If players accept the branding of the Three Fingers, they will lock themselves into the Frenzied Flame ending. To reverse this locked ending, players will need to find a unique item hidden within the Lands Between.
To acquire the Frenzied Flame ending in Elden Ring, players should begin at the Royal Capital and travel through the extensive network of sewers. Along this path, players will need to battle the boss Mohg, the Omen, and clear a challenging platforming section. Eventually, players will arrive at a door. Opening the door will cause the player to lose the armor they are wearing and become possessed by an evil hand that burns them. This sets players on track to become the Lord of Frenzied Flame and receive the branding of the Three Fingers.
To remove this curse, players will need to complete Millicent’s questline all the way through. To do so, players should begin by interacting with the NPC Gowry in Eastern Caelid. If players kill Millicent in Elden Ring before her questline is completed, they will need to atone for their violence at the Church of Vows. Following Millicent's questline will eventually lead players to Miquella’s Haligtree. At this location, they will need to defeat the boss Malenia. Malenia is one of the most difficult bosses in the game, and players may struggle to defeat her if they are under-leveled or unprepared. To improve their chances with this battle, players may want to use Ashes of War in Elden Ring.
Elden Ring: Finding the Unalloyed Gold Needle to Remove Frenzied Flame
Upon finishing Millicent’s quest and defeating Malenia, players will need to use the Unalloyed Gold Needle, which can be acquired during the quest. Players should use the needle in Malenia's arena at the bloomed Scarlet Rot Flower. In exchange for the Unalloyed Gold Needle in Elden Ring, players will receive Miquella’s Needle. Players will need to bring Miquella's Needle to the Crumbling Farum Azula, specifically at the Dragonlord Placidusax’s boss arena.
To find this location, players should head to Beside the Great Bridge Site of Grace, which is just before the boss. From there, players can go down the elevator and follow the stairs to head outside. Once outside, players should walk to the side of the cliff and search for the secret floating platforms that they can jump down onto. Once on the platforms, players will find a piece of debris near a spot that allows them to lay down. When players do, they will be teleported to the circular arena where they will find the boss Dragonlord Placidusax. To improve their chances with this battle, players may want to use Ashes of War in Elden Ring. Bringing Miquella’s Needle to this location will remove the Frenzied Flame and allow players to pursue other endings.
Of note, if players do bring Miquella’s Needle to the boss arena, they will forever remove the Frenzied Flame, and there is no way to trigger that ending again. Accordingly, players will not be able to unlock the achievement or trophy for becoming the Lord of Frenzied Flame.
