It's the only thing that really bothers me about the endings, they don't affect the later game. Not NG+, but after you kill the Elden Beast and don't start the second journey. Imagine standing in Limgrave and being able to see the Molten Earth Tree after the "Lord of frenzied Flame" ending or it's always night after the "Age of the Stars" ending. Would be amazing!
yeah except the world is literally gone so that doesn't make sense. Maybe a DLC for the endings but I think they are just endings, its cooler too imagine what the ending would be like anyway.
This feels absolutely amazing. You literally hear nothing besides the burning sky. Everything died within a second. It’s only you and the sin you participated in.
Would ve very cool if this was the aftermath of the Frenzied Flame ending. The music stops and we return to the old silent and desolate atmosphere that dark souls got us used to.
I like how Gransax was stuck facing up towards the Erdtree. As if the last thing he thought before he was turned to stone was a hatred as pure and potent as sunshine against the golden order. Now watching as another power takes over what he had started.
The age of ancients begins from here. Dragons being able to survive this frenzied flame grows and dark souls begin from here. Not my theory. I just saw some youtube videos on it.
Honestly, this should be what you get for choosing the Frenzied Flame ending. Like, what ending you choose should have a visual effect on the world. Some examples: The Age of Fracture: no changes to the world due to default ending. The Age of Order: Heal the Erdtree after it was burned, due to the fact that the world itself is being healed and an era without strike and conflict is beginning. Frenzied Flame Ending: Basically what’s shown in the video, with a burning sky and the Erdtree engulfed in the flame of frenzy. Age of the Duskborn Ending: The Lands Between being engulfed in a harrowing fog Blessing of Despair Ending: I don’t really know what visual change this would have, but it’s said that the Lands Between have been overtaken by a reviled curse, cursing all present and future generations with the defilement. Age of the Stars: Plain a simple, the sky being changed to that of a beautiful blue, with the dark moon very clearly visible in the sky.
I was really hoping for this, I really wanted to be all snow like after doing the ranni ending or having the moon be bigger but sadly it wasnt a thing, I can see why though considering the scale of the map.
@@vf7548 It's not a technical problem, they know how to make a skybox and change an object texture, look at the big fire tree you're stuck with. They just didn't
@@setsunaes Or, alternatively, the enemies and bosses are left as they were when you beat the game. Better yet, they all have eyes of frenzy, which could be simply cosmetic, or it couod make them stronger, OR it could give them an extra frenzy attack or two! I would personally be completely okay with the extra challenge for beating the game, but since that would "ruin" it for other people, just the world and enemies looking Frenzyified would be fine.
It would be so cool if you made your decision of ending when burning the Erdtree, or when defeating Maliketh, so when come back you had to face to consequences of it, and maybe even face different bosses depending on the choice instead of the final gauntlet.
I feel that; Sekiro does that and I really get what you mean because it doesn’t feel like a final gauntlet, but those events are necessary. However, I still have to agree that a particular ending effects more than just bosses only required for that ending
I prefer my headcannon where after the frenzied flame destroys the world, nothing remains but Grey Ashes, Arch Trees and Everlasting Dragons.... and then... there was fire
I'm impressed that there's truly a full model of the destroyed Erdtree. This gives a great sense of scale for the Frenzied Flame ending, and of the severity of the Erdtree's remains being warped. Is there a way to explore this map with the Frenzied Flame burning Leyndell and the Three Fingers style fingerprints trying to crush the city? Can the fiery jet extending to the sky be observed in this mode? Thanks again for the great videos!
I remember that in some old builds/artworks the Erdtree was already burning and broken from the start of the game. Maybe the model used to be for that.
I'd argue the DS3 ending was worse. ER presents a flame burning everything. Devastating, yes, but quick and comprehensible. DS3 represents untold eons of time slowly, inexorably, grinding all of existence to dust. It's those inhuman time scales that really mess with me.
@rainbowkrampus Its up to interpretation which is worse. On the one hand, the Flame of Frenzy just killed everybody in the Lands Between and is likely going to prevent it from EVER regaining life again. Obviously bad. On the other hand you have Gwyn's Darksign curse to all of humanity, robbing the hollows of reason and real life. The world burns for an eternity before its flame goes out finally, and what's left is an ashen wasteland that may or may not hold life in it going forward into an Age of Darkness. So, obviously DS3 has a lot greater time but the Flame of Frenzy obviously is a much more explosive death. Being inflicted with madness in those flames and everything burning up is terrifying in some manner. Of the two Dark Souls is indeed far worse, as its overall "scorching" lasts for many thousands of years likely.
@@bajantexan8790 DS3's "endless ash dunes" ending suggests no Age of Dark, because everything burned. There's nothing and no one left in the world, because the Age of Fire burned everything down, even the metaphysics of the world. Just the sunlight that Gwyn so loved, and storms, and the ashes of everything.
Id like to imagine future update after the frenzied flame ending you get walk around the burned down world just like this video to find Melina and start the real final battle
@@thealchemistking4063 That would be the most stupid and shortest expansion ever, pretty much would be a scam since you would get a walking simulator and one boss. There aren't any living being left after this ending apart from melina and maybe a few other demi god beings that survived this calamity in some far off land.
This is so eerie. I remember the land itself being on fire during the frenzied flame ending. So it feels like the dead calm right before all life is returned to chaos. [Before everyone and everything is inciterated horribly]
I have the feeling that you should’ve been able to fully explore the world after this and Ranni’s ending. Both change the world supposedly, but this one is far more drastic. Imagine inadvertently commuting the greatest sin and being stuck in a world where there is absolutely nothing left, other than brand new specific frenzy enemies like a frenzied tree guardian or something, and you are stuck this way until you enter NG+ It definitely would’ve added to the gravity of the horrible thing you’ve done.
Considering the skybox is broken and the frenzy flame sky just abruptly ends, doesn't fade into the normal skybox, I'm inclined to disagree. From doesn't usually do post game map changes, because canonically, once you pick an ending, that's it. Post game is a non canon thing added because of backlash to the automatic new game plus from dark souls 1
The Frienzied Flame ending has to be one of most unsettling endings for a game I've seen so far imo. It's a perfect example of "show, don't tell" especially since the narrator isn't even speaking at all in this ending. Pretty much hammering in that "yeah everyone gone because of you"
@@ferro9926 People keep saying this is only a reset and that there'll be something after this, but, like, the Flame literally sees life as a mistake. Why would it let it repeat?
Honestly with all the horrible, truly horrible shit that the Lands Between has it deserves to burn, I began my playthrough seeking the most morally good ending (Ranni's) but after witnessing all the horrible history and the deaths and the state of the world I was more determined to just let chaos take the world and burn it all to the ground. Also you look badass in the ending so that helps, but sadly Torrent suffers in the ending 😔
Honestly the frenzied flame is probably my favorite part of this game and it's sad that it isn't explored as much hopefully in DLC it will because I love the theme of it and would want more stuff of it. Wish you could explore the world after the frenzied flame or even have that frenzied flame head but unfortunately it's only possible on PC and not console. Thank you for showing us by exploring the world of the frenzied flame.
I really hope someone mods this in so the whole game is dark and has this skybox. Especially when major mods akin to Nightfall and Cinders start to roll out.
That would have been cool to have a different post story world depending on the ending you chose, of course this for the frenzied flame ending, pox sky and musky fog for the dung eater ending, foggy and dusk sky for thw duskborn, a richer shade of gold for the goldmask ending, and I don't even know how the world would look like with ranni's ending
maybe we play as melina or better yet we play as the lord of the frenzied flame, we have all of our weapons except now we have a big flaming head of frenzy
can we also do a view of the dung eater ending? with the swirling pools and poop in the sky, the poopbrown sky in the world of dung, raining poop in a reality where everyone has to eat dung for the rest of eternity and become omens of poo, space itself is replaced with poopie and the air you breathe is farts, all praise dung eater the truly most evil being in all fiction.
The fact that it doesn't & instead reverts back is cannon tho. I am pretty sure all the endings are actually fake which is why Ng+ is the same & why that one dude says we can't kill a god. It's not because we aren't strong, it's because Maraka can't *can't* die for some reason.

I wish we could've been able to explore the state of the lands between after each of the endings , i think it would've been a nice worldbuilding opportunity to give the player a glimpse of the chaos that would happen when you mend the Elden Ring to fit your new order
Honestly, I know the chance is low but...a DLC where you visit a alternate timeline where you DID go Frenzy Flame and explore the aftermath with a final fight between some monstriosty that's...you... It'd be really cool
This feels like someone, years later, stumbled across this place and is now exploring. Imagine if we found this instead of the Erdtree, oh the theories that would abound.
I feel like this is the best ending, no enemies, no allies in pain, just you knowing that it all ends but you are forever alone until you can change the outcome if possible
I always wanted the head of the frenzied flame that appears at the end, and it would be awesome to have that sky as permanent background, imagine the people who invades you or duels you
Seeing this makes me feel like there was originally supposed to be a fully rendered cutscene for every ending, or at least most of them, but they were cut from the game due to resource or time constraints.
The real mindfuck is that this is what the erdtree actually looks like and the golden form we see is an illusion generated by faith and worship. As hinted in the description of the golden seeds.
I really want to make a End of all life playthrough with the lord of frenzied flame ending, but there's some dead ends in the map that force me to fast travel, respawning all creatures again. I think this run It's only possible in Dark Souls 2 due to the perma-death for enemies after twelve kills.
If only the sky stayed like this after the ending, rest of the world could go back to how it was in normal game but perhaps add places where there is just burning people and screams
I wish this is what the world just looked like after the frenzied flame ending. That this is what the world look like, and you could just randomly be invaded by Melina until you start Journey 2. "Lord of friezied flame, I will seek you as far as you may travel to deliver you what is yours, destined death." -Melina, Post frenzied flame ending
Great video man, thank you! What’s with all the tablets now on Marika’s bed?😮Did From Software create a whole map o frenzied flame when they could have just made a pre-rendered video?! Amazing!
I keep coming back to the Frenzied Flame being a parallel to Childhood's End, a science fiction book with an ending that thematically feels similar to this. SPOILERS but just like at the end of the book the Flame is actually a single psychic being made up of every living consciousness in the game. The phrase "All that divides and distinguishes" really makes me cement this. "Distinguishes" specifically, as if to say within the Frenzied Flame you can't distinguish one being from another.
Since Melina says she will hunt you after you get the frenzied flame I wish you had to get it before burning the erdtree and then you'd get to burn the erdtree with the frenzied flame She says she'll deliver destined death so I think the concept of her killing maliketh and fighting her where he is could be neat but idk
I know people find it horrifying, but I find the complete stillness peaceful, a world devoid of all life, finally one again, and the suffering of all beings extinguished. Only the one who sustains this stillness and the one who wishes them dead are left, in a way, this is the closest the world will ever get to true peace, no matter the ending, unless it is FF there are obvious negatives you could find, ways that countless conflicts would come about and extreme suffering would start up again, but here that is not possible, for there is nothing.
Just as there is no suffering when there is no one, there is no happiness when there is no one, so this is not peace. It's just death, and even the most violent warlord doesn't want the whole world to turn to dust. Congrats on outdoing every act of violence ever done.
The world isn't restored to some primordial state, the Frenzied Flame killed everything so it could pretend it was equivalent to the "One Great." Also, based on the Nomad Spirit Ashes, even ghosts are cursed by the Frenzied Flame.
@@thegk-verse4216 There is peace in the sense that all things are gone, that there is silence, that the cries and anguish of those within the world are gone. There is no need for happiness for that concept only exists when there is a need to be happy, when there is a necessity to find enjoyment, and the failure to find these things inherently cause suffering on those less fortunate. This was never about control, about war or taking over the world, all things are now dust because anything existing at all can lead to suffering. All things must be gone because if anything exists it can lead to new life, which will feel strife in the attempt to find happiness, and those that will inevitably fail, do not forget this world has actual cruel gods, curses that can cause untold pain for generations, and wars, enslavements, and discriminatory systems that can exist as long as the god perpetuating them does, this world is quite literally a hell on "earth."
@@nightscout9979 That isn't how that works, the one great isn't a being but instead a substance. All souls, spirits, and other things within the world were apart of the "one great," which was split into life and other things by the Greater Will, creating life it could subjugate and place it's order upon. You can actually research this if you want, it's far more obvious in the Japanese and quite interesting
I know it's a lot to ask for but fromsoft could have gone a mile longer and update the map based on the ending. And maybe even add some extra content in those maps like bosses/items. If they did it as DLC it would really make this game even more special.
I feel like after you beat the game before going into NG+ you should be able to explore the world in how the differant endings make the world look like, or at least just have the erdtree and skybox resemble the ending you got
I want to get this ending, and then play as a Slave Knight Gael cosplay with the name “What? Still here?” And then use the taunted tongue to summon invaders into a surprise boss battle.
What if after the frenzied flame ending you can keep playing the game, in the now barren wasteland that is the lands between. The game now turns into a horror game where melina is now endlessly hunting you in the attempt of stopping you from setting the entire world ablaze. That would be kinda cool.
I hope for a dlc we go to a place that was consumed by frenzy flame but for some reason it didn't spread to the rest of the world or something like that idk
It's the only thing that really bothers me about the endings, they don't affect the later game. Not NG+, but after you kill the Elden Beast and don't start the second journey.

I'd love to see more locations with different skyboxes and atmospheres, like Stormveil with Leyndell's effects
I wish we could've been able to explore the state of the lands between after each of the endings , i think it would've been a nice worldbuilding opportunity to give the player a glimpse of the chaos that would happen when you mend the Elden Ring to fit your new order
Honestly, I know the chance is low but...a DLC where you visit a alternate timeline where you DID go Frenzy Flame and explore the aftermath with a final fight between some monstriosty that's...you...
It'd be really cool
would be dope if whenever you are not inside or don't have cover over your head madness start building up
This feels like someone, years later, stumbled across this place and is now exploring.
Imagine if we found this instead of the Erdtree, oh the theories that would abound.
I feel like this is the best ending, no enemies, no allies in pain, just you knowing that it all ends but you are forever alone until you can change the outcome if possible
I always wanted the head of the frenzied flame that appears at the end, and it would be awesome to have that sky as permanent background, imagine the people who invades you or duels you
would be cool if someone modded in a Melina with AI to stalk you through the map to take her revenge on you, Nemesis style.
Seeing this makes me feel like there was originally supposed to be a fully rendered cutscene for every ending, or at least most of them, but they were cut from the game due to resource or time constraints.
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!!!!
The real mindfuck is that this is what the erdtree actually looks like and the golden form we see is an illusion generated by faith and worship. As hinted in the description of the golden seeds.
I love how peaceful and dark it is.
4:10 BIG Dark Souls 1 vibes in this shot, reminds me a lot of Izalith
Quite a shame Hyetta didn't live to see her utopia in person.
...
Oh. Nevermind that.
Heh.
I really want to make a End of all life playthrough with the lord of frenzied flame ending, but there's some dead ends in the map that force me to fast travel, respawning all creatures again.
I think this run It's only possible in Dark Souls 2 due to the perma-death for enemies after twelve kills.
Oohh spoopy. Can you imagine if you was walking around and found a unique dialogue
"It is quiet"
-Sherk I the Hero
AHH MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!- Shabriri
Your oc is crackling laughter in the throne room ☠️
0:20 i love how the angle makes it look almost like the flame is coming from gransaxs mouth
If only the sky stayed like this after the ending, rest of the world could go back to how it was in normal game but perhaps add places where there is just burning people and screams
And with that orange sky, the nightmare of yharnam started....
What sh!t did i smoke?
Would be awesome if the skybox was permanently changed based on whichever ending you picked (until the next NG+ cycle that is).
That's the closest thing to a paleblood sky we're gonna get bois
I do wonder if all those skybox effects wont be used in the DLC
The perfect ending.
beautiful world indeed
Ahh… MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!
That's so fucking awesome that's why im so excited for Fires of Rubicon the Art Stylez!
I wish this is what the world just looked like after the frenzied flame ending.
That this is what the world look like, and you could just randomly be invaded by Melina until you start Journey 2.
"Lord of friezied flame, I will seek you as far as you may travel to deliver you what is yours, destined death."
-Melina, Post frenzied flame ending
The quiet is more ominous than the giant fiery eye of chaos in the sky
This gives me the same vibes as when Anor Londo goes dark
What a dark and creepy atmosphere this version of Leyndell has.
The Best ending. 100%
Great video man, thank you! What’s with all the tablets now on Marika’s bed?😮Did From Software create a whole map o frenzied flame when they could have just made a pre-rendered video?! Amazing!
The only thing missing is the Tarnished trying to choke Melina on a beach till she says the word "Disgusting".
this make's me wish there was a "dark" version of Lyndell similar to Anor Londo in DS1
We partake in a miniscule amount of trolling
Reminds me of yahar'gul, Love it!
It has a yahar’gul feel to it and I love it
I keep coming back to the Frenzied Flame being a parallel to Childhood's End, a science fiction book with an ending that thematically feels similar to this. SPOILERS but just like at the end of the book the Flame is actually a single psychic being made up of every living consciousness in the game. The phrase "All that divides and distinguishes" really makes me cement this. "Distinguishes" specifically, as if to say within the Frenzied Flame you can't distinguish one being from another.
Such an eerie ending. I love it.
May chaos take the world!!!!!
🔥 🌎
Man the fires of Rubicon sure took their tole
To skirt the curse’s grasp…
Tarry not for long.
The world looks so different without the Erdtree bathing it in light.
That is amazing. Wish we could explore it
Since Melina says she will hunt you after you get the frenzied flame I wish you had to get it before burning the erdtree and then you'd get to burn the erdtree with the frenzied flame
She says she'll deliver destined death so I think the concept of her killing maliketh and fighting her where he is could be neat but idk
The burned tree looks like Mikelas haligtree from a different angle
I wish there was more Frenzy quest's.
*Can you next explore unreachable part of the Lake of Rot? the one with lots of cascading waterfalls.*
There should be a Frenzied Flame torch.
Change my mind.
I know people find it horrifying, but I find the complete stillness peaceful, a world devoid of all life, finally one again, and the suffering of all beings extinguished. Only the one who sustains this stillness and the one who wishes them dead are left, in a way, this is the closest the world will ever get to true peace, no matter the ending, unless it is FF there are obvious negatives you could find, ways that countless conflicts would come about and extreme suffering would start up again, but here that is not possible, for there is nothing.
Just as there is no suffering when there is no one, there is no happiness when there is no one, so this is not peace. It's just death, and even the most violent warlord doesn't want the whole world to turn to dust. Congrats on outdoing every act of violence ever done.
@@thegk-verse4216 well said
The world isn't restored to some primordial state, the Frenzied Flame killed everything so it could pretend it was equivalent to the "One Great." Also, based on the Nomad Spirit Ashes, even ghosts are cursed by the Frenzied Flame.
@@thegk-verse4216 There is peace in the sense that all things are gone, that there is silence, that the cries and anguish of those within the world are gone. There is no need for happiness for that concept only exists when there is a need to be happy, when there is a necessity to find enjoyment, and the failure to find these things inherently cause suffering on those less fortunate. This was never about control, about war or taking over the world, all things are now dust because anything existing at all can lead to suffering. All things must be gone because if anything exists it can lead to new life, which will feel strife in the attempt to find happiness, and those that will inevitably fail, do not forget this world has actual cruel gods, curses that can cause untold pain for generations, and wars, enslavements, and discriminatory systems that can exist as long as the god perpetuating them does, this world is quite literally a hell on "earth."
@@nightscout9979 That isn't how that works, the one great isn't a being but instead a substance. All souls, spirits, and other things within the world were apart of the "one great," which was split into life and other things by the Greater Will, creating life it could subjugate and place it's order upon. You can actually research this if you want, it's far more obvious in the Japanese and quite interesting
This reminds me of DS1 when you kill Gwendolyn in Anor Londo. Just dark and silent...
Frenzied flame ending is good for the lands between
If bloodborne can make us look like cauliflower I hope that we can look like a burning black hole in the dlc
I know it's a lot to ask for but fromsoft could have gone a mile longer and update the map based on the ending. And maybe even add some extra content in those maps like bosses/items. If they did it as DLC it would really make this game even more special.
Memories of seeing dark Anor Londo for the first time
So is this what armored core 6 looks like? :^)
Are all of the ending maps in-game this way? with walkable environment's and everything? If so, i would love to see the rest of them.
the best impacted ending for me
Now I want to play the game with this being the default
The sky is lowkey really pretty
Aaah may chaos take the world .. MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD !
I feel like after you beat the game before going into NG+ you should be able to explore the world in how the differant endings make the world look like, or at least just have the erdtree and skybox resemble the ending you got
I want to get this ending, and then play as a Slave Knight Gael cosplay with the name “What? Still here?” And then use the taunted tongue to summon invaders into a surprise boss battle.
So there is no burning fingerprint texture/shader, that can be applied to the buildings, left in the files?
Aaaaa yes peace, silence, may chaos take the word
I sorta wish melina comes out like an invisible black knife assassin from time to time trying to kill us
There is only you... and the void...void...void
There should be 'post-game' stuff to do after the ending... Like in Dragon's Dogma.
What if after the frenzied flame ending you can keep playing the game, in the now barren wasteland that is the lands between. The game now turns into a horror game where melina is now endlessly hunting you in the attempt of stopping you from setting the entire world ablaze. That would be kinda cool.
I hope for a dlc we go to a place that was consumed by frenzy flame but for some reason it didn't spread to the rest of the world or something like that idk
