The Lord of Frenzied Flame is no lord at all.
When the land they preside over is lifeless.

- Melina — warning the Tarnished over the wickedness of becoming a Lord of Chaos.


The Lord of Frenzied Flame (狂い火の王, Kurui Hi no Ō), also known as the Lord of Chaos (混沌の王, Konton no Ō),[1] is a status/title in the world of ELDEN RING (2022). It refers to the prophesied, messiah-like figure of the Frenzied Flame and its ailing followers. Promising them salvation by taking their torment, despair, their affliction, every sin, every curse, and melting it all away.[2]

A chosen few of those afflicted with the flame of frenzy are capable of transforming into the Lord after death. The strength of its form can seemingly vary depending on who its original host is, with several having proven to be capable of becoming one, however many of them were either too weak-willed or physically feeble to accomplish anything, causing them to be considered frauds and failures in the eyes of their followers.

Similar to the power of its namesake, it has an uncanny ability to erase the original identity of its vessel. It can emerge from its host even if they don't want it to[3] and can even prompt them to abruptly die at a moments notice to force their transformation into itself.[4]

Once a Lord of Frenzied Flame manifests, the head of the original host is replaced by a black hole with yellow flames spewing out of its core, erasing any visible trace of the original host's identity. It moves their bodies around with mannerisms completely alien to not only the original host but even other chaos followers as well. Making gestures that suggest complete delight and overwhelming euphoria at the sight of its flames consuming everything in its path. An ironic contrast for something supposedly being born from unspeakable torment and despair.

While it is seen as a savior from the perspective of those stricken by madness, to everyone else it is a harbinger of insanity and death. A menace to all life and the joys of living.

Should you rise, as the Lord of Chaos, I will kill you, as sure as night follows day. Such is my duty, for allowing you the strength of runes. Goodbye, my companion.

  3. ↑ Midra feared the power of the frenzied flame and his potential transformation into the Lord of Frenzied Flame. And so he endured an unspeakable amount of time in complete agony from his impalement all to avoid his transformation, until he could bear the pain no longer.
  4. ↑ In the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending, the player suddenly keels over in pain when approaching fractured Marika and are completely unable to pick any other ending unless they've first suppressed the Frenzied Flames hold on them, through the use of Miquella's Needle. This is unlike all of the other endings, as the player can meet the requirements for all of them at the same time but are still given a choice of which ending they want.
