Knowing that St. Trina taught them this lullabye they could sleep despite their torment is heartbreaking, but even worse still that this nomad is playing it for what few of his people still remain in their prison below the capital.
that one wouldnt be canon anymore, the st trina story, it was cut long ago and in the current lore, doesnt make much sense. Kale quest where he finds frenzy flame was better
@@neelupetyt6520 I choose to still head canon it this way because we don't know very much about St. Trina or what she did in the actual base game.
What’s truly haunting about this area is how it feels so utterly suffocated by everything on top of it. The sewers above and the shunning grounds would have you believe you’ve already seen the deepest depths… but then it just keeps going, and then you find this massive grave of merchants buried beneath all of it. It’s unknown beneath unknown. They’ve been obscured and suffer within it
@@seb1520 And then beneath them you also have the buried corpse of Godwyn and the entirety of Deeproot Depths. It appears that everything Marika had wanted hidden she buries deep away, far beneath the crust of the earth. Only, secrets have a bad tendency of creeping up from their graves.
Its even more sus that the entire place is behind a mace of sewers on top of that is guarded by the mosted hated and loved person Mohg.
The sadness in this tune, hits me everytime. The lore behind the merchants and the betrayal they sufferd, it's heartbreaking!
Makes want to get lord of chaos ending all the more
@@joeywatchdog the only sane thing to do with that twisted world is to burn it to the ground
Look up Kale’s cut quest dialogue if you really want to suffer.
Seems like killing them all off wasn't very moral
Better yet look up frenzied flame prepare to cry
Imagine this playing while a tarnished is constantly falling from ledges and beams.
Does it first time do to calm collectiveness
They do say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, it sets the mood for you to want to burn the whole world 😂
@@yurimaldonado4966 in all fairness when i got down for the first time i was well beyond wanting to burn down the world
Don’t have to imagine it, I remember it quite clearly!
i hated hearing this over and over again because i suck at platforming LOL
The moment I learned that Shabriri caused all of this, I did not hesitate to put him down like that madman he truly is
And morgott too ig, but to even meet shabriri you have to have put morgott down
While the theory that Shabriri's crime was accusing the merchant sounds convincing, it does ignore that the Frenzied Flame started after Shabriri's eye was gouged out and the Nomad Merchants were entombed because some of them were already infected with the frenzied flame.
@@muhdimran5869the frenzied flame always existed in lore as a outergod Shabriri nor the merchants created it. They only summoned its vessel down to the lands between
*Golden Order followers lock down a bunch of merchants after they were accused of heresy by the Order, making them summon the Frenzied Flame as a form of revenge against it*
"Why did the Frenzied Flame and Shabriri do this?"
@@DR3ADNOUGHTcause Frenzy is literally destructive, not just to the Golden Order but to everything. GO suppressed plenty of actually dangerous things that had to be suppressed, from Scarlet Rot to Dung Eater. The blame lies with Shabriri for slander. GO did a lot of terrible things but attempting to prevent infectious madness is not one of them.
Though our lives have been laid low,
In this hole, we're home.
If this is the golden order-
May chaos take the world.
this comment made the song go from a 10 to a 100
Genius
DUDE UR BRILLIANT
Dude!! It's perfect and it fits the lore
Eternal Torment, unjust God
Immoral for all
How could it be any different?
May chaos take the world.
It’s no wonder that Shabriri is considered the most reviled man on earth. He drove an entire population to madness, not only for them to never receive grace again, but be confined to something worse than hell, trapped in eternal limbo of madness between Godwyn’s deeproot depths and Mohg, Lord of Blood.
I don't want to hear what's going on in the rooms next door for eternity.
And it's crazy that despite this, some people say the frenzied flame is the best ending🤮
@@kevindominguez2117the frenzied Flame didn't cause their suffering and despair. It was summoned by it.
@@TheRealJohnux And Shabriri was pretty much the envoy of this madness. He knew they would call for it if they were hurt enough and her hurt them as much as possible.
@@kevindominguez2117the frenzied flame did not cause this, shabriri did, despite it's dangers, the frenzied flame is entirely neutral and has very little goals besides looking for beings to enact it's will, it's not looking to destroy everything unless the person it finds wills this. It can be controlled but just like fire, it spreads without reason, simply it just spreads on its own.
I'll never forget the feeling of descending the frenzied flame Proscription for the first time. The Subterranean Shunning Grounds was an absolute hellhole of an area, with danger everywhere. I don't exaggerate when I say I was fearful with each corner I approached, which hearkened back to my first time in Anor Londo all those years ago. Then, descending a sepulcher to fight Mohg the Omen, and finally getting behind the altar to be greeted with the corpses of these merchants and the oddly... peaceful yet sad song. I descended the pit and found the frenzied flame door, followed what the player messages and phantoms did, and embraced the Three Fingers.
I, too, will never forget the number of hours I spent trying to get down to the bottom of that goddamn hole to get this ending for the 100% completion.
Ascending all way down to the Three Fingers was one of the coolest experiences in this game to me, for sure!
It was a experience I'll never forget when I think about this game
Honestly I liked descending down in this area I stayed next to the merchant for a while then went to the three fingers and embraced madness
Did you get ridiculed by Melina? It’s what puts the cherry on top of the experience
The music is actually perfectly synced with the animation of the merchant playing it. The strokes of the bow and the finger placements generally match with the music heard. This game still amazes me with its attention to detail!
Yea, you can even see the hand wiggle slightly when he does the vibrato if you look close enough
I never paid attention to the fingering until you mentioned it - I love the attention to detail FS puts into their games. Creating an experience for their base vs just trying to milk money.
Same with the merchant playing at forest spanning great bridge absolute piece of art
There is a point where he plays two notes with the same bow stroke and thats where it should be. You can also see he lifts the bow more when its reset to its proper position.
I think he might be adding that music himself. Pretty sure if you kill all the merchants that are playing then the place goes silent
The perfect tune to say final goodbyes to the patience lost, for how many times you'll hear this trying the jumping bit down there.
After doing it a few times it get better. You learn to be as far as possible from the wall. Even the tiny candles seem to launch you 10 feet away from the walls to your death.
i got to the lowest drop point and broke the floor. idk what’s worse, loosing souls or having to teleport back to the grace of i messed the lower jumps up
Its not that bad of a platforming section it took me two tries and the one death was from overestimating how far I needed to be jumping, in other words my death was operator error, not because it's a bs part of the game
I had to mute my tv to be able to Do the jump 😂
Took me like ten tries, then I did it for a buddy around the same, try ten....not lying I feel as though I got lucky both times though
Did you see it? What they did to my ancestors? The whole clan, buried alive... sick... Maddened.
Husks of themselves. Have you heard their moans, their barely human anymore. They think that we fraternised with the three fingers, that WE called the maddening sickness down upon them. Well if that's what they expect from us... THEN THAT'S WHAT THEY WILL GET FROM US! The world of Grace and its people should have been content to watch us sink between the cracks. But to intrude upon our solice... Having broken us upon their whims. I will never forgive any of you. We won't be trading any longer...
Wait what's that? That burn... Your eyes. You've inherited the Flame of Frenzy... Unknown warrior. Divest yourself of everything. Unearth the Three Fingers, throw wide the door. Ah that's it. The yellow flame of Chaos. Please... A frenzied flame to melt away the curses suffering and despair. Let the Order dry up. Melt away the curses suffering... and despair. let the Order dry up.
May chaos take the world...
May chaos take the world.
kale's cut dialogue
What could’ve been…
Kale’s dialogue
How incredible it would’ve been to have kale play a bigger role than the friendly merchant.
you have one thing wrong , he doesn't say "let the order dry up." he actually says "and the order... entire." which in my humble opinion is the best part of this dialogue , so its like :
"Please... A frenzied flame to melt away the curses suffering and despair and the order, entire. Melt away the curses suffering... and despair and the order, entire."
look how much better it is now...

This area is one of the best examples of environmental storytelling in gaming. This area really makes you feel as if you've stumbled upon something truly horrifying and wicked, which is exactly what the Frenzied Flame is. I loathe the day that I embrace the Three Fingers, the fate of the merchants is beyond tragic.
the fate of the merchants was due to the golden order though, no?
@@viocait The golden order is definitely part of the problem, but don't forget that the suffering of the merchants was directly caused by Shabriri's wicked lies.
You wouldn't even have to read the lore, the music speaks for itself. How life is an agonizing, meaningless mistake.
@@aarong1092ah yes, Shabriri is the one responsible, as opposed to the very institution of power that genocided an entire population when given the tiniest of excuses to.
As if the Golden Order and their continued cruelties are merely a force of nature brought about as if by some entirely transcendent rule.
May Chaos take it all
@@thosebloodybadgers8499 It's implied that Shabriri is the one who orchestrated the merchant guild being accused of worshipping the three fingers. Yes the golden order has its issues but if you're really considering the end of all life as opposed to one that's morally corrupt instead of just fighting against the morally corrupt organization with almost every other ending this game has to often. That's quite sad.
I play the violin and even the fingering on the model syncs with the music.
Oh wow, really? Now that you mention it, the finger animations are unusually detailed. They didn't just make a looping "move the bow back and forth" animation
they even got the vibrato 🥺
Even for a game obsessed with fingers that's some insane commitment
You don’t understand, this is what keeps this man from the frenzied flame.
This music is his hope,
His love for the people and the world.
He could resent the world and continue down the frenzy but he chooses to meditate peacefully over the music and remember the beauty of what was.
This music is to refute the flame not support it
I always see it as a reflection of his sadness. He can’t convey how he feels through words, nor does he have anyone to listen, so he sits down and plays the violin hoping he replicates his sorrow perfectly, for at least the suffering he’s gone through, traumatic memories, experience and hardship will serve as his company as oppose to the eerie quietness of his solitude.
@@renegade7056 in doing so you become what they feared you to be.
I don’t think there’s a message per se I think it’s just what keeps the man from frenzying out. And we all just read into the music whatever we want to hear but I am certain the music is what keeps him peaceful
Wow, someone who actually who gets it, but based on your profile pic that isn't too surprising in this case.
I can't imagine Miquella's reaction when he found the Caravan....
Honestly when I first got here and heard the music I spent a few minutes trying to find the living merchant out of the sea of corpses. Once I finally did, I just sat there with him for a little while. He had been alone for so long and had been through so much. I thought he earned both the company and an audience.
Same here. Worth it to just sit for a moment or two and hear the entire tune.
Its morbid just how difficult it is to find the living merchant among the dozens of petrified corpses
...and then i harvested him for his runes
"Miyazaki we just finished this beautiful questline for Kale and the frenzied flame ending making it actually the secret best ending in the game and worth pursuing!"
Miyazaki: excellent! delete it.
I love the Frenzied Flame ending and I'm so sad they cut the majority of its lore out.
@@symbiotesoda1148 i just finished the DLC and was sure they were cooking something up with the merchant quest and the frenzied flame boss Midra but apparently not :(
@JohnnyHairdoOR KATANA!
If I remember right, the vaativita video with cut diolog suggest this is St Trina's lullaby, played in their tomb so they could sleep even while mad.
Is this True? Is this song related to Trina, AKA fucking MIQUELLA THE "KIND", The Most Terrifying of all the gods?
Yes. He gave them this song to calm the Frenzy.
It's written like a jovial folk tune, like something you'd play around a campfire or even on the road. And yet, the circumstances make it the saddest piece of music in the game. Happiness twisted into hopeless despair.
That's interesting to see you say that, because I literally cannot imagine it as being a happy tune. I guess the context is just too tragic.
I personally compared it to Binks Sake in One Piece at least for Brook for others it is a happy tune but for him it brings back the memories of his former crew and Laboon so perhaps it was a haapy song to begin with but for this lone merchant it is his only way to cling to some semblance of sanity by reliving his memories of the rest of the nomad merchants
Made me bawl my eyes out :,/ this thing hits like a truck emotionally when you read a bit of lore.
Of the four melodies he play, two of them sound exactly like a Christian funeral hymn
that’s probably why i like this song, because that’s the story of my life: happiness turned into hopeless despair.
I would love to hear The FrenziedFlame Merchant song, but if all of the other musicians around him join in and start playing together, like an orchestra.
While the frenzied flame ending is on the screen...
Listen to Alex Roe’s mix, Song of Despair! He uses this concept in his orchestration :D

@@Kungniht someone made a video out of this actually
@@KINGOFTHESPARKS755 Do you know who or the link to the video?
One insane detail i noticed as a cello player and animator is that they actually synced his fingers to the change in notes. I cant talk on the placement because this isn't a real instrument but the fact that at some points the vibrato actually lines up with him rocking his fingers is actually insane.
Also the fact that when there are two notes in one bow stroke, the animators actually animated that into the game.
It's heartbreaking that this melody sounds like it could be jovial in a happier setting. Friends and laughter around a campfire is exactly what's missing from this.
Personally I believe this area is perfectly placed. Not only is the song and area a great example for what the merchants and subterraneans have endured but, if you come here after progressing the story until lyndell falls to ruin, then it serves more as a peaceful time to let the events of characters lives sink in if you havent had the chance to let it.
Even with the few merchants wandering around and aggressive, it doesnt feel very hostile.
I honestly wish the merchants around the world played this song if it was night or something. Their areas would be easier to notice and some of us might stick around for a moment to relax.
When i found this guy on my first playthrough i felt so bad for him and all the merchants that i just let him go after sitting next to him for like 20 mins, then after melina begged me not to take the flame at the end, seeing what happened to the merchants who had it i just left. Its the only ending im missing now
honestly, i did the same thing with the merchant...
except my story had a very different ending
@@miguelmattew6124”BWAGABAGAGA!” -the frenzy, probably
Seeing their suffering had the opposite effect on me, it only reinforced the idea that I should burn it all away
I’m embarrassed and ashamed to say I attacked them out of fear, not knowing what abilities they’d possessed, like most docile enemies.
Only to find out out they were locked away for that very same reason, harmless beings who bore the possibility of summoning the three fingers. 😞
you probably did them a favor tbh…
😢
😢
@@spade3779 i agree rather continuing their suffering
Not even I would do that
I don't know why, but this song that makes me feel almost nostalgic about something...
See any clowns dancing in bathrooms lately?
Naw dude ur not wrong, I've been searching for others opinions on the matter cuz I've sworn I've heard this somewhere before. But no one else seems to think so
The first 3 notes almost sound like nameless song from dark souls
its similar to a track from ds3, maybe other ds too
this song has that nostalgic vibe around it
if you know the lore behind it, this song might be for every other people, family, friend that died slowly because their caravan clan aflicted or cursed by frenzy flame. then greater will, instead of looking for solution to help them, they scared with lord of frenzy flame propency and decided to buried the whole clan alive to seal and lock three finger and it's madness from surface, an unfair genocide for once well known caravan clan in land between.
i guess this song dedicated to all that thing that lost to them, family, friend, clan and the life that once they had.
.
that's why you sometime meet merchant in such remote place because they were hiding and lucky enough to survive and run away from that genocide.
To me, this supposed calming music is what I believe to be the Frenzied Flame's theme, playing as you start your decent down to the Three Fingers themselves, and when I first saw all those merchants there, I was just in shock, so many dead, all except for one, playing that music, to be honest, I find the music very calming, especially when I'm stressed
There's actually a few of them playing music down there. They drop yellow embers when you gank them :3
I don't think they're dead, to be honest. Nothing truly dies in the Lands Between, they're just locked up there, forever... feeling the effects of starvation and of being locked up but without ever being freed from it. They're in a state worse than death; completely immobile and emotionless because there's nothing good to do or feel.
@@matheusfantinel7970coming back to this a year later with the release of Shadow of The Erdtree right around the corner, my god that is indeed a fate worse than death, it only makes me feel more sad for these sorry folk that are just trapped down there for eternity.
This plays in the second phase of Midra's theme.
This song has convinced me to play Elden Ring

You got to the shunning grounds yet?
The frenzied flame quest line taught me to never trust internet "popular" opinion ever again. For everyone called it the "worst" ending, I found it to be the most perfect, beautiful and fitting ending for this game. Especially with Melina showing up in the final scene. May chaos take the world.

My sister is moving and taking her kids to the other side of the country, it feels like i myself am turning into a hollow, this song gives me some comfort in this difficult time, this simple tune draws the tears from me so perhaps I can enjoy what time i have left with them. so sad yet so soothing thank you.

Truly fitting, a sad tune for a sad fate

*Uses Miquella's needle.*
I was nearly 100 hours into my first playthrough. I watched 0 content, never opened the wiki, and set out to "fully" find and explore everything in the game on my own. 100 hours of hitting real walls, rolling into barrels, checking behind every tree and in every nook and corner. "Oh a well next to the sewers?" ... "I'm so lost down here" ... "Okay ill open paint and draw a map of which directions I have gone in the pipes" ... hours later I end up here. Haunted by the hundreds, if not thousands of corpses all driven to madness in their desperation to reconcile their swift exorcism from the world above with this unnaturally haunting song being played by one of the lone survivors trying to bring an ounce of beauty into a world that was filled with so much pain. Stumbling into this place on "accident" was the most chilling narrative experience I have ever received from a story, let alone a video game. They truly created a beautiful world and it "feels" alive every second that you spend in it. I remember feeling depressed as I approached the Erd Tree because I would never get to experience this game for the first time ever again. I would never get to delve into the beauty, sorrow, joy, and pain that was hidden away in every town, ruin, city, and catacomb. I would never get to accidentally find something like this, for the first time, again. This game is truly an experience if you let it be, and this song summarizes every emotion felt in the world, and in the player as you close your journey across the lands between. Every note is purposeful and complete, ad filled with meaning.
Well......
You can do that for the dlc now
This tune... the despair. The composer deserves a raise... and my personal thanks.
I actually did this entire quest line on my first playthrough, up until I reached the door to the three fingers. I wanted to save Melina at any cost. I stood before that door completely nude, ready to embrace the frenzied flame, and this song began to play in my subconscious. I looked at what I was doing, realizing it was unnatural. I stopped. then and there, and went back up to the mountaintop, where I let Melina fulfill her destiny.
That is poetic as hell
If you managed to get Miguella's Needle from the Millicent questline, you can save Melina without getting the Frenzied Flame ending. Simply go to the Three Fingers, use the flames to burn the tree, then use the needle afterwards to get rid of the Frenzied Flame. Voila, you burned the Erdtree without sacrificing Melina, and you can still get whatever other ending you wanted.
@@jonathanoriley8260 that makes me think about something, if you accept the frenzied flame, then rid yourself of the three finger's influence, are you completely removing the frenzied flame from the world?
@@orangecryptid7732 No, it just tames the Frenzied Flame, removes its influence from you the player, and brings its power on the world back to the state it was at before you burned the Erdtree.
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD
This was the right tune to hear as I descended into madness while trying to platform for a damn frenzy spell. Especially, getting to the bottom.
First time I ventures down into these depths and heard this sweet melody I instantly fell in love with it's sorrowful sound. I sat next to this man and just let him play. Very soothing
I may be wrong, but I remember hearing in some lore video a fact that makes all this sadder. The song is actually a lullaby given to them by St. Trina. As the rune of death is still locked away, none of the nomads in that room are dead. None of them get that mercy. They’re all asleep, except for the few that spend eternity playing a lullaby for their brothers
Genuinely stumbling across this area blindly and then hearing _this_ song play is probably my single favourite moment in all of Elden Ring (either that or finding the face beneath Stormveil) - the sadness in this music gives me such goosebumps, it's crazy.
I didn't find this place until I was well into the last chapters of the game, at which point you've gone through so many introduction AND goodbyes... to be ushered down ny this music was really emotional for me...
You can notice how his hand animations actually captured all the note changes and all little vibratos, that's cool.
One day I hope there’s an ending where you can use Miquella’s needle and perhaps something Kale would give you and The Mending Rune of the Perfect Order combined into an ending where you gather all of the frenzied flame and omen curse and all the suffering of that world in yourself. Becoming some kind of prison of suffering in your own body, and instead of ruling that world it would kill you in the process, you would take the influence of the Greater Will and all other outer gods. You would be martyred and make this world better for the next lord “An age of Justice”.
Pale king moment
the emotional damage ending
Our Pure vessel has ascended.
This is a beautiful idea! The Martyr Ending. Your statue would probably replace all the Merika ones throughout the land and the churches.
The fallen leaves tell a tale. Of the Tarnished, who became lord. And usher in the most blessed order. The age of Justice.
Goosebumps when you hear this in the dlc
where do you hear it?

@@vytz_arg4554 When you make it to an area so horrible and devoid of grace it will make you feel cold all over. If you have not reached the area yet I wish you good luck and have fun most of all.
Yes I know the Lore behind this. The music sounds beautiful and I can listen to it all day. I used to play the violin and I’d kill to have a violin right now to play this😫
I read the lore behind these merchants and all the corpses in the shunning grounds, what a messed up story these merchants have. An entire race of people just wiped out like that with a handful that managed to survive. This music is beautiful but hurts so much at the same time after you feel the emotion behind it
And the sad thing is.
All of them were good people just cursed by the Frenzied Flame.
@@LAMBO3601not even cursed by the frenzied flame but doomed by the paranoia of the golden order
@@Ebony_Darknessall because of shabriri and his demonic lies.
because i love emotional damage, i have a headcanon about this song.
when we hear it, it's something sad, slow, almost broken, and certainly sounds like more instruments once accompanied this lonely violin. what we hear is the very last scrap of song the merchants know, a tune attempting the impossible task of giving hope to the starving and dying. it could have been any number of things once: the fantasy equivalent of "happy birthday," or wedding music, or a popular tavern song, or simply music enjoyed on long journeys that just so happens to lure in customers.
now all that's left is madness and muscle memory, the actual origin lost to untold years of starving in the dark.
Not too far off.
The canon reason for this song, which was cut from the game, is that St Trina gave it to the merchants to allow them to sleep even in the madness of Frenzy. I’m not sure how many it actually worked on, but at this point killing them is a mercy
Most tonal and classical OST for most chaotic and crazy ending in game.
Perfect.
The emotion in the song is enough to make one go hollow. Such hopelessness. Such despair.
I was drifting away in the soft serenade, but amidst the horrors strewn around, I found the song neither sad nor bleak. Rather, it was a peaceful, simple sound, a relic of the lost innocence. Perhaps a song of a soft wind on a sunny day, as the caravan trotted along. Now, it only symbolizes the only remaining hope, the only chance for peace. Silence. Not revenge, not justice, just the silence of sick world made peaceful. Made quiet, forever.
Then I got jump scared by a Jimmy John's ad.
I could only handle 10min of this.
Idk why people call frenzied flame ending the worst out of all
Did they really forget about certain loathsome person intended on defiling every single human in lands between?
The idea that everything and everyone is tainted beyond saving and the nihilistic view that all things should return back into the original single entity known simply as chaos.... Ah yes to be one again.
@@xemcrona9829 my first ending 👌🏻
I agree, the frenzied flame goal is to return everything to nothing, melt it into the One Great, there will be nothing left and everything will be dead at the end. Dung Eater ending just repeats the cycle with every birth in that cursed world to be defiled, only to live in endless suffering... Thats definitely worse
@@xemcrona9829 is the correct answer especially when personally meaningful
@@xemcrona9829 kinda sounds like the end of Evangelion for me. Or maybe Miyazaki got the reference from there
I... completed the game twice... and finally worked for this ending for the trophy.... I never really understood why they where all underground...in the beginning, my ignorance told me what a beautiful melody... Till I looked up the lore...
I replayed the game and got to this area again and couldn't help but break into tears as soon as I started to hear him play...
I love how you hear it slowly fading as you go further down, closer to the frenzied flame. It's like you can tell you're getting closer to something treacherous. So sorrowful, so much death and chaos soon to follow your decision to stand before the three fingers
I love it that the animation fits the music. The fingers also move correctly
first time i went to the sewers the sewers ambience didnt play for some reason, so besides this playing it was dead silent down there. needless to say, i thank whoever or whatever made that bug happen because it elevated the experience to 11/10
they usually say nihilism is a bleak way to view the world, but considering what the merchants suffered, in my opinion it was their only worldview then: suffering and pain. and who wants to live in a world where unjust suffering is committed
Just what I needed
The crazy part is that because of the lack of the rune of death, all those merchants we see down there are all in a catatonic state of being buried alive but unable to die. The flame of frenzy hears thier despair.
This video is almost as long as the parkour down to the Frenzied Flame took me to complete
I like to think that The Flame of Frenzy incantation is essentially the "tears" of those afflicted by madness-- a stream of sorrow and despair that floods from their eyes in a surge of emotion, scorching and maddening all who come close.
For some reason this reminds me of a lot of violin midsummer songs from my swede youth. I cant recall what songs, but the eeire feeling of a tune that potentially is meant to be a glad folk tune is all that this man remembers and clings to in his madness is hunting and truly catches the atmosphere of this area.
What a beatifull song. that Merchant gone through so much, so much different than the others we met. all those behind him who were the same as him died there....blind, but he keeps using his musical instrument. nah. i am tearing 💀
I finally feel the poetic sense of the frenzy flame being under the capital, the city literally controlled by the golden order as there is no order without chaos and no chaos without order and so the entire story of the golden order trying to make everything perfect in its image which just ends up backfiring on them soon after, with Ranni of all people sort of causing this chaos, this frenzy, that has consumed people’s humanity and has brought upon the plague of deathblight across the lands between just really show a interesting and complicated story which is hard to unravel a true meaning from when so many others in the game are brought up and give so much more insight then previously suspected
Somehow, the fact that it’s missing that 1 second to be a complete hour makes it that more despair-inducing lol
What I love about this tune is that it has sort of a carnival game vibe to it. Very repetitive, almost meant to soothe you at first and slowly drive you mad as you throw yourself down the same pit over. And over. And over.
I love the animaion for that fella. Look at the fingers! Love those details!
This is my favorite ending for me. Whatever these poor merchants did, nothing is worth putting them through something like this. When I found out the horrors that’s happened in the sewers, omens shunned from society just because they were born a little different, to live alongside filth for having features that were once a part of life before the order, it’s just so depressingly unfair. I thought maybe I’ll change my mind as I descend down. And what do I find? Hundreds of merchants dead through numerous floors, a few still alive who have succumbed into madness. And one merchant..alive and still full of hope, forever playing his violin in the hopes that someone comes along to listen to his sorrow, his every pain and horror conveyed in this one song, you feel the tragedy that he’s been through, the torturous hardship. Everyone must pay for this injustice. May chaos take the world 🖤
no, no chaos shall take the world, dont prove them right make it better. let the nomadic merchants and omens be apart of society not burn everything and everyone.
An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.
@@vincent9540I mean tbf the lands between, even ignoring the merchants massacre, basically has at most 15-30 sane people and everyone else is either evil, insane, or live a constant life of torture
@@FatalisCataclysmDoes that justify mass genocide? Also a lot of times you invade those people’s places in a time of war so yeah everyone is pretty hostile
@@vincent9540 I mean for scale, the amount of merchants dead in the sewers is probably at least more than a quarter of the amount of sane people in the lands between, on earth that would be like if 2 billion people were buried underground because of one lie told about them, and again there’s more awful stuff in the lands between as well (ex: *albinauriac village*, mohg’s area, caelid, rennala’s room during phase 1, the killing of the giants, everything at castle mourne etc)
This frenzied flame reminds me an clear mirror of a nihilist philosophy about people and You can trully understand them it's as sad as shall be but it's true, they suffered the most and they felt betrayed and i'm hate with the Golden order and almost anyone in the world
It's more fucked up when you realize that THAT particular man has likely been sitting there playing that tune verbatim for like thousands of years.
At first there were thousands of voices, trapped in one place, yearning for a freedom they'd have never seen again. The cries slowly became an enraged curse, then they were hundreds, then a few tens until one day their voice was no more. Deprived of their eyes and their vocal chords dried up, the last of them wander as shadows of what they once were, except one... his legs barely move anymore: after avoiding carefully the forever resting bodies of his people, he sits down on his frail bones at the edge of a balcony, picks the battered musical instrument from his back and tunes it up with his fingers creaking with every movement, then begins to caress the chords with their traditional hand-shaped rod letting out a melody: not one of despair, nor sadness... it is a gentle melody of serenity and longing, perhaps in remembrance of those peaceful evenenings under the fresh breeze passing through the plateau's trees. Perhaps he still imagines himself there, playing that tune sitting by the bonfire, surrounded by family and friends just as he is now... yet the melody only echoes through the empty and lonely depths, awaiting somebody to finally hear it again.
I was finally able to explore this place, but it's such a somber, serene place. There isn't ire anywhere, only a quiet acceptance. Then I realize the only way forward is down, down, down. So I finally got down only to realize I didn't want to hug some creepy fingers. Only a truely mad person would even attempt such a descent. What does that make me? Man, how am I gonna explain this to Lunar Princess Ranni?
My first time playing was a couple weeks ago got addicted and spent 160 hours already killed many things before seeing if it was threatening but this man this man right here I couldn’t do it
Ahhh my favourite kind of lore.... Emotional damage
No more fractures. No more births.
i like to imagine this music is engineered to give you that "getting over it" feeling whenever you slip on a wooden beam and fall to your death
I just put my baby to sleep listening to this, best lullaby ever, can't wait for him to grow up and try the game, hope he likes it.
Let the yellow flame melt away the despair, no more suffering, no more blessings. May chaos take the word... May chaos take the world.
Shabriri: "Yeeees. Let it happen.... pay no heed to me destroying evidence of what I did. Nooooo. Totally not me."
@@williambeck2372 Shabriri is exactly the reason why I don't accept the Frenzied Flame, if you go through with it, he wins, and he does not deserve to win.
@@mikkelstergaard6218 Bingo.
The attention to detail is amazing. His fingers and arm move as he plays each note
It is a lullaby, to send those suffering to sleep. Miquella and Malenia wanted a home for those "Misbegotten". Those who were persecuted and driven out, even abandoned. Sleep is Trina's realm, perhaps that is Miquella's will. The Shadow is a dream, but in a realm where time and space can be manipulated. Perhaps it can become truth. Maybe even, make things right.
All of the Merchants trapped in the deepest depths with the Frenzien Flame with no escape eventually they all died and went insane and powered the 3 fingers all because of Shabriri but looks like one survived and just plays this tune around all of his fallen Merchants to pass that time
this is by far the most evil thing you can do in this game, i think its pretty clear how even mohg was protecting it because he knew how terrible the frenzied flame was, melina constant talk to the player not seek this ending also tells, devouring life unending
But Mohg was like a weirdo fr
"this is by far the most evil thing you can do in this game"
Dung Eaters ending
Dung eater ending is def worse
@@forsaken696aged poorly
I could play this song on the cello for hours. Easy yet endlessly satisfying in a somber sort of way. Most underrated Fromsoft piece.
Easily the most disturbing area in the game. Got chills when this slowly gets louder as you approach the area.
Never fails to bring a tear to my eye elden ring is one of the only games where the music made me actually cry
Its crazy that the movement fits the actual playin. Wth Elden Ring is insane
This is too authentic. Too good. Too pure. I'm in shambles.
After watching vaati's vid on the frenzy flame, I decided to listen to this with hell and panicking people ambience, closest thing to what i can imagine when everyone of those of corpses were still alive and kept screaming in despair and agony as they succumbed to the madness of the frenzy flame... it's really something
The world gone mad, flame o frenzy or not. This is why we Tarnished roam. This is why we give to these humble merchants.
My first playthrough I had very little knowledge on the frenzied flame, shabriri, and really anything in this world. One this I did find a good understanding with was the wondering merchants and their story. Honestly it got to the point that I "adopted" them as my people for the game. And of course when the time came, meeting Shabriri and hearing of someway to save Melina, I killed the bastard who used yura as a new coat. Making my way through the Mountain Top and slaying the Fire Giant I finally reached the point I could burn the tree... Yet I refused to kill my maiden and I left the forge. See by then I had mostly forgotten about Shabriri and so I explored the world eventually finding the subterranean tunnels. Curious at this new discovery I explored it like I did every other cave before hand. After clearing out everything I could find I eventually took the route to the bottom of the sewer, killed the copy, and when I made my way forward I froze like what happened days prior at the forge. The merchants I had come to love, the song I'd always pause and listen for were both down here... Despite Melina's pleas I took on the frenzied flame and let chaos take the world... Let Chaos take the World... LET CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!
The first time i came upon this sight in game i legit just sat there with tears in my eyes
Thank you so much for recording 1 hour of this -- particularly with this visual, so we can appreciate both the animation as well as the tragedy.
In the end, the Flame of Frenzy got what it wanted. The Golden Order unintentionally gave it more power than it should ever have.
Even though he was betrayed, even though he probably no longer feels any emotion inside himself, what sweet music he still manages to produce. it's magic.
it's so sad coming in here and finding out what happen here and realizing where these merchants came from.
Anyone here while fighting Midra in the DLC?
bro i look like the guy ive been trying to kill him for almost an hour
Though I used it while fighting with him (Even though his theme is my favorite boss theme in ER, even beating godskin duo's, I almost like the depressed melancholy more during the fight,) recently I've used it whenever I need to write a lot of papers and shit like that. My adhd and executive dysfunction combo in a way that makes that kind of task hard, and even tho aderol helps, this song helps me focus more than anything else
I didnt realize this locked you into the frenzied flame ending when i did it on my first playthrough . but by the time i finished i thought it was bittersweet. No more life, no more pain
It's moments like this that make you wonder if the Order ending is morally as bad as the Despair ending
I'm not crying, you are!
