A player in Elden Ring has discovered a clever technique to bypass the Madness Eye at the summit of the Frenzy-Flaming Tower. This specific area can be quite frustrating for players who are new to Elden Ring and are unaware of why they are succumbing to madness. Elden Ring is notorious for its challenging locations, and encountering unexpected enemies or negative effects can leave players feeling frustrated and defeated. The status effect of madness can be particularly difficult to deal with, as it renders spellcasting impossible and rapidly drains health. The Frenzy-Flaming Tower near Liurnia of the Lakes is a location where novice players may suddenly find themselves afflicted with madness, often without understanding the cause. However, one player has managed to find a clever solution to overcome this obstacle.
User Typical-Painter-7052 on the Elden Ring subreddit discovered a solution to the Madness Eye's effect. They shared a post about fooling the Madness Eye on top of the Frenzy-Flaming Tower, which seems to be a nod to the Eye of Sauron from Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. This series is a clear inspiration for Miyazaki and his team when creating their fantasy worlds. The Madness Eye above the Frenzy-Flaming Tower continuously increases the player's madness meter if they are within range and view. However, disguises, such as the Mimic Veil item, prove to be effective in countering this issue. In a video demonstration, the player successfully utilizes the Mimic Veil to disguise themselves. Although the Mimic Veil is not typically a widely used item in Elden Ring, it completely nullifies the effect of the Madness Eye, which disappears after the villagers at the top of the tower are eliminated.
The Frenzy-Flaming Tower is a secluded spot without a boss, primarily intended for players seeking the incantation Howl of Shabriri. While some may overlook it due to the incantation's effects, a fellow player on the subreddit has demonstrated that combining its damage buff with powerful sorceries like Comet Azur from Elden Ring can lead to devastating outcomes against specific enemies. This potential makes it worthwhile to don a Mimic Veil and stealthily ascend the tower.
