The Frenzied Flame | Elden Ring Fan Cinematic

[@MrDilks]

As someone who chose the Flame on my first playthrough... Then had to "ponder" my decision afterwards... "May Chaos take the world......"

[@RyanLykos]

its such an interesting ending too, definitely lived up to the whole "chaos" thing XD. may chaooooos TAKE the worrrld

[@AlexCatable]

I do hope, you were horrified by your choice and its consequences.

[@ladyrevan7backupchannel232]

Yay! I did this ending first, too. No regrets. 😁

[@NoContext414]

5 new games later. I’ve chosen to inherit the flame each one.

[@saintdestrix4]

@@AlexCatable I think all of us kinda agree, none of the endings are good: all have consequences. The biggest problem with the standard ending is the Erdtree and the Greater Will. The Will is a selfish god that only seeks its own gain, and has forced the world into a state of neverending death and decay. The Erdtree forces souls to be recycled, meaning no creature can ever truly rest in peace. Each ending has you take up the role of Elden Lord, as you watch over this painful cycle and continue it. Ranni’s ending isn’t any better, as she just leaves the world to rot. The frenzied ending, though dark and obviously evil, isn’t as bad as you think. “No more births, no more sickness.” Burning the world down forces a hard reset, curing the world of its death cycle and letting everyone rest in peace. The Greater Will burns, and the pain ends. But, it is not necessarily the end. Just a reset. Some god may come back and revitalize the world, or it may start itself. (Melina was still alive and Leyndell was still standing, so clearly the ending doesn’t burn everything.) Bad ending it may be, I find myself choosing it each time because I sympathize with the frenzy. Melina doesn’t deserve to die to satisfy the Greater Will. The Merchants never deserved to be buried alive for their beliefs. The world doesn’t need to suffer under Marika. But, that is just my viewpoint. My “lesser of two evils.”

[@sebastiang6903]

My compliments! In my opinion Melina gave her most poetic lines in trying to stop our "wild curiosity" from dragging us further down that dark pit. The (literal) falling into madness and chaos

[@RyanLykos]

Melina went from being the level up girl to a really interesting and thought provoking character in this ending which is awesome :D

[@Jack-mt3fw]

It’s actually criminal how underrated this is

[@RyanLykos]

Copyright claims ruin the recommendation :/

[@Spagoo.Aka.TheBlackKnight]

My favorite thing about Elden Ring's endings is that they all give you cause to wonder if you're doing the right or wrong thing. There are arguments for each one, but none of them appear to be objectively bad in that sense. Seeing the entombed merchants, learning of the apathy of the Greater Will, the obsession of the Demigods to the detriment of everyone else... it scratched that Nihilistic itch for me. It made me feel that I was truly ending the reign of terror and suffering of the Lands Between while also resetting the world for a better one to be born from the ashes. Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder, and this ending was tragically beautiful to me.

[@MS-Melas]

What people dont get is that there is NO RESET after the frenzied flame. It burns everything away, no rebirth. End of the cycle.

[@jased30]

You said it better than I could have. This is how I feel about it too.

[@sthelios3864]

I had to save Melina. I regret nothing. May she bring upon us Destined Death in the Shadow of the Erdtree! also, oonga bunga fire.

@@raphaelcalderon8529 yeah that didnt age well...

[@sharkyvrse]

I like how the Shabriri sells this ending to you by making you out to be some hero for "sparing" Melina and buring yourself. But actually, you are robbing her of her purpose and plunging the world into chaos. Something she absolutely doesn't want to happen. The only reason she allies with you in the first place is to get her up there, and she can be the kindling. I just find it funny is all. Especially the fact that ppl actually think that they are "saving" her.

[@RyanLykos]

"it's for your own good 😃"

[@Dracozauryks]

I sincerely hope you don't have suicidal friends. Also, Miquella needle goes brr.

[@gabrielm3340]

is great how the sound of the voices blend with the music. gives it a sad great story vibe.

[@TheMachine3165]

“You would never understand Melina... but think. yes life continues, but that life is doomed. Doomed to fight to survive as I do, staying awake throughout their nights wondering if they’ll live to see morning. the land itself is dying, rot churns below liurnia, as does it spread from caelid, not only that but the Erdtree itself is dying, how long does it have before Godwyn and his blight consume it? How long until that very same life you speak of no longer exists because the very land itself is unable to sustain it? With the flame of frenzy I give the world a chance to start anew. yes the land will be destroyed, but with all that oppresses it gone it gives the land a chance to heal, to do as a Phoenix does and rise from the ashes more beautiful than before. new life can be birthed, life that will not know the struggles of what was and will only know the hope of what can be. Is it not as you said? Life endures.”

[@RyanLykos]

Melina: >:(

[@Gaetan-Furminieux]

It's... a crazy poem that you just released. Congratulations, Shabriri follower, you have convinced me. May chaos take the world... for the coming of another. 🤝🫡

[@trainman5675]

A smart lord of frenzy flame takes it knowing there end. Knowing that there reign will be short. But that it will burn brightly and cleanse the rots away so that a true lord can claim it and begin the world anew

[@mattbarnes9296]

When the forest grows too wild the cleansing flame is inevitable. May Chaos take the world.

[@rachnussouldrinkerlibraria5640]

Just as the flame will return all to the crucible, so shall the crucible be compelled to divide, distinguish, and grow anew, causality and regression, a cycle, a chain, a link that does not break so easy

[@jeffreylu3626]

this is so underrated, especially because the background music isnt some over used edit remix

[@RyanLykos]

perhaps i shouldve made the music louder so that you cant hear what theyre saying!!!

[@Memnoch_the_Devil]

Beautiful video! On my first playthrough, I accepted the flame of frenzy, then burned myself, then got rid of the flame of frenzy and ended up choosing Ranni’s ending. So I didn’t have to do the Flame of Frenzy ending, and I didn’t have to burn Melina either. Take THAT, Shabriri!!

[@RyanLykos]

Shabriri got played. i also feel like this should be a different ending because its a rather long process if you get the needle to cure yourself of frenzy

[@Memnoch_the_Devil]

@@RyanLykos I could agree with that. And yeah, not only did he get played, but when you first meet him in the Mountaintop of the Giants, or wherever it is that he’s taken over the body of Yura, after he yells out his “LET CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!” I killed that fool right then and there. I was pissed about him killing Yura and I was not about to let this bastard run loose in The Lands Between, shouting out that nonsense everywhere he went

She will more than likely use the destined death to kill us as we (the lord of the friendzied flame) are the new god, much like how we used it to kill the radagon and the elden beast (the prior god).

[@GustavoSilva-ny8jc]

Damn, ninjas cutting unions, this touched me to the core and made cry so much. It was a perfect short story delivered in such a well crafted way that with enough background (aka a bit of berserk) it's legendarily emotional. What an ending!!!! GODDAMMIT, to sacrifice yourself to spare the one you love just for you to be hunted by the same person cause she doesnt accept your choice is such a masterpiece ending, especially with the dialogues that are chosen, it could be a cold fact said before, or a cold twist at the end, but by developing an emotional connetion between them it gives a HUGE heartbreaking weight. It's a battle you dont want to see. "I will hunt you forever", "a death you cannot escape", those quotations of berserk together with the perfect mixing of Guts, Skull Knight, Casca and Griffith just mark you forever. It's one thing to get inspired and another to reuse elements in a way that makes the themes hit deep and increase comprehesion with an alternative end. I didnt finish berserk or played elden ring (but i doubt their relationship it's THAT emphasized in the game, it's just me picturing them as Guts, Casca and Griffith) but this feels like a PERFECT alternative ending of berserk, and it's rare for me to see an ending that enhances the story, here it feels like a unique whole, take the ending twist and the story loses impact. PERFECT (painfully underrated) video and song choice, i was gushing about “the game” but this production masterpiece it's what sold that, THANK U for not using a voiced pop or famous song but an instrumental, this song in particular was on point.

[@GustavoSilva-ny8jc]

Edit: The more i rewatch the more this actually reminds me the eclypse and this sucks and it's starting to scare me

[@MrBoss861]

May thy flame burn away the gold of such a tragedy, and bring forth an end to end all things, so the ashes may be born anew, as a world destroyed, a world doomed, be blessed and saved by thy flame to bring forth a new age, an age of chaos..... may chaos... take the world!

@@RyanLykos the fact that he may have learned this from Vyke makes it a possibility but we are given no information that he may have a collective conscience, a bit like in Attack On Titan. He has never seen Melina or our maiden but he knows exactly what she has to do.

@@jan_coog4038 thats true, but if i remember correctly shabriri is a worshipper of the frenzied flame so perhaps the frenzy outer god gave him information since his eyes turn to frenzy. just speculation but i do believe he understood that Vyke was trying desperately to save his maiden from death and went, hmmmmm this maidenless fella probably has a maiden if hes here- SPARE THE GIRLS LIFE!!!
