Madness weapon location in Elden Ring Nightreign

In Nightreign, Elden Ring features various weapon effects, though locating the Madness type proves challenging. Unlike elemental or rot-based armaments, this affliction remains elusive. Acquiring such gear demands significant exploration luck rather than straightforward discovery.

Locating Madness-infused armaments

Night of the Demon relic with Madness effect

The Frenzied Flame effect stands as Nightreign’s most uncommon damage type, appropriately reflecting its combat potency. Curiously, this rarity complicates confrontations with certain bosses vulnerable to it. Securing guaranteed Madness application requires utilizing the Night of the Demon artifact. Potential acquisition methods include:

  • Boss reward: Flame of Frenzy While Walking
  • Night of the Demon relic with Crossed Legs Gesture
  • Deals from the Scale-Bearing Merchant
  • Sacred Seals from great churches
  • Madness encampments
  • Frenzied Flame event

During the uncommon Frenzied Flame occurrence, the lakeside tower becomes active with afflicted enemies and a massive ocular phenomenon. Neutralizing adversaries throughout the structure during this event yields special rewards. The location remains worth investigating even when inactive for potential hidden caches.

Enemy camps marked with Madness symbols offer potential rewards when cleared. Religious complexes contain catacomb donation boxes that might house special seals with chaotic enchantments. Merchants encountered during expeditions occasionally offer trade opportunities for specialized gear like Vyke’s unique spear or ocular artifacts emitting Frenzied energies.

Given their scarcity, relying solely on Madness equipment for major confrontations proves impractical. However, successfully acquiring such gear provides distinct advantages against specific adversaries.
