These catacombs are found in Caelid in the northern corner of the large, sandy beach area where the Tarnished defeats Radahn. The door to the War-Dead Catacombs is built into the cliff wall, so it can be difficult to see. Throughout the catacombs, spectral Cleanrot Knights and Radahn Soldiers fight each other, but may turn to fight the player character. There are also a few Imps lingering around. Many Ghost Glovewort and Grave Glovewort can be found, along with some other interesting items, like the Sorcery called Collapsing Stars and the Radahn Soldier Ashes. The boss, a Putrid Tree Spirit, drops the Redmane Knight Ogha Ashes and is where one of the golden seeds in Caelid is locat

_Elden Ring _ is full of bosses that players love to hate and kill, but there are some that inspire feelings of guilt instead of triumph. This sounds a little odd, especially when the point of the game is to kill bosses, take their power, and become Elden Lord.

The Abandoned Cave is located in Dragonborrow, Caelid. It is east of the Smoldering Wall and northwest of the Sellia Evergaol. This dungeon is another tricky one to find because the only way to enter the cave is by approaching from the west and using a tree as a bridge across a canyon. The cave is full of Scarlet Rot, so taking supplies or Incantations to help relieve the buildup is advisable. While the entrance and Scarlet Rot may make this cave sound more like a nuisance, the items inside make the Abandoned Cave a worthy place to explore. Two weapons can be found in the cave; one is the Venomous Fang, and the second is the Serpent Bow. Both these weapons inflict poison. Elden Ring 's __ Gold Scarab Talisman drops from the dungeon's two Cleanrot Knights when they are defea

Players will first encounter the Frenzied Flame in isolated enclaves found through the Lands Between - settlements and ruins populated by villagers, FromSoftware Multiplayer soldiers, and beasts whose eyes glow with a maddening, writhing flame. Incantation spells like Elden Ring 's Frenzied Burst and weapons such as Vyke's War Spear __ will inflict both fire damage and the Madness status effect, which scalds the eyes of player characters and Tarnished NPCs with same maddening fire. Late in the campaign of Elden Ring, players will learn that Melina, their steadfast companion and confidant, must be sacrificed to fire in order to open the path to the Erdtree's heart. Shortly afterward, an NPC called Shabriri will appear and offer the players an alternative; descend to the deepest part of the catacombs beneath Leyndell, receive the embrace of the Three Fingers, and become the Lord of Chaos - a scorched, yellow-eyed being with the power to burn the Erdtree on their

Kalé's cut questline in Elden Ring reveals the sad fate of the Grand Caravan. The roaming society eventually reached the capital city of Leyndell, where it found itself in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds where the Three Fingers reside. The Golden Order blamed the nomadic race for spreading the Frenzied Flame, and so the entire Grand Caravan was buried underground and left to rot. By the time players reach the underground area most of Kalé's people are long dead, though some still live in a state of apparent madness within the realm of the Three Fingers and Elden Ring 's Frenzied Fla

As stressful and exhausting as it is to fight Malenia, she is another boss the Tarnished should feel bad for defeating. She and her brother Miquella were born cursed. An Elden Ring theory for why Malenia becomes a god helps explain the curse the twins were born with. However, the gist of it is Outer Gods targeted the twins in hopes of controlling them if they decide to take their mother’s place as god of the Land’s Between. Malenia is cursed with scarlet rot, which ravaged her body from the inside out and caused her to lose some of her limbs. She is the sickest boss in the g
