Madness is a status ailment in ELDEN RING (2022) and ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN that stuns the Tarnished and inflicts damage to their health and focus points. Similar to Death Blight, it only affects the Tarnished.
Mechanics
Madness builds up is inflicted by taking damage from sources imbued with the power of the frenzy flame. Once the Madness bar is fully filled, the player suffers a significant amount of damage ((15% Max HP) + 100) and drainage of their FP ((10% Max FP) + 30). Just like with Sleep, the player enters a stagger animation where they cannot move and they are vulnerable to attacks; the animation involves the player clutching their head as the frenzy flame spills out of their eyes.
Just like with Sleep, if the player is riding Torrent when they are inflicted with Madness, they will be instantly knocked off.
Curing and Mitigation
Resistance to this status ailment is governed by Focus.
