How to Cure Madness in Elden Ring

As a seasoned explorer of the Lands Between and a survivor of countless battles against formidable foes, I can tell you that Madness is one of the most insidious afflictions an adventurer can face. I’ve seen friends, once brave and steadfast, reduced to quivering wrecks by this eldritch scourge. It’s a cruel twist of fate that makes even the bravest among us question their own sanity.

In Elden Ring, insanity might be the most harmful status ailment. Once your Madness meter is full, you’ll endure significant damage to both your Health and FP, in addition to being stunned for around three seconds. Fortunately, preventing and curing Madness buildup isn’t overly complicated.

How Madness Works in Elden Ring

Instead of curing Madness by preventing the meter from filling up, you manage it by draining it back down to almost empty before it causes harm. Unlike status effects such as Scarlet Rot or Poison, where filling the bar inflicts damage over time and the bar gradually empties, Madness works in reverse: activating only when the meter is full, and immediately resetting to empty once triggered, unless you succumb to its consequences.

Based on where your Madness meter refills from, it can start to replenish rapidly following a damaging attack. External factors, such as enemy Frenzied Flame spells or the enraged eye summoned in Frenzied Village, will all contribute to refilling the meter, as well as employing Madness-infused incantations, particularly with the Frenzied Flame Seal obtained from Hyetta’s quest.

How to Cure Madness Buildup in Elden Ring

Two methods exist for alleviating Madmess, or more precisely, reducing its accumulation. The optimal choice is to prepare and eat Clarifying Boluses.

Just like regular Bolus items, Clarifying Boluses swiftly eliminate any accumulated Madness in your system. Their consumption animation is remarkably fast. Most of the required materials to create them are common. However, there’s an exception: the Eye of Yelough. Here’s where you can find all the ingredients and their locations:

• Dewkissed Herba: In and around both the Siofra and Ansel River areas underground.
• Crystal Cave Moss: Found in specific caves and mini-dungeons of Liurnia of the Lakes and elsewhere.
• Eye of Yelough: Found in areas afflicted by madness. The Frenzied Flame Village is the easiest place to get eleven of them at a time.

In Elden Ring, to create Clarifying Bonuses like other craftable items, first, discover the necessary recipe. Specifically, look for “The Frenzied’s Cookbook” [1]. Fortunately, this cookbook isn’t difficult to locate.

Where to Find the Frenzied’s Cookbook [1] in Elden Ring

The Frenzied’s Cookbook [1] can be found at the Frenzied Village in Liurnia of the Lakes. It’s on a corpse in a house near the front of the village. However, actually reaching the village takes a bit more time than just riding up the eastern coastline of Liurnia.

• First, you need to get the Academy Glintstone Key from the western wetlands, guarded by a dragon.
• Then, you must make your way to the Academy Main Gate Site of Grace on the northern edge of the Raya Lucaria Academy.
• Use the magical seal north of the Main Academy Gate to teleport across the broken bridge to the northern landmass of Liurnia.

Once you’ve reached the Grand Lift of Dectus Site of Grace, head southeast up through the cliffs.

To reach the Frenzied Flame Village up ahead, you’ll have to take a small detour and eliminate the enraged nobles residing on the tower in the east part of the upper area first. These nobles relentlessly unleash Madness balls that swell your Madness gauge while inflicting minor but persistent damage to your health. After their demise, proceed south until you turn a corner and find yourself at the entrance of the Frenzied Flame Village. The initial shack in front of you shelters not only some agitated adversaries but also the precious Frenzied’s Cookbook [1] and a gleaming purple loot item on a deceased body.

Clarifying Boluses Crafting Recipe

After obtaining Frenzied’s Cookbook, here’s what you’ll require to prepare Clarifying Boluses and help reduce the accumulation of Madness:

• 2 Dewkissed Herba
• 1 Crystal Cave Moss
• 1 Eye of Yelough

To heal insanity for the second time, it requires a greater investment of your resources. You’ll need to master the Lucidity magic, which is no easy feat.

Where to Find the Lucidity Sorcery in Elden Ring

Until you’ve advanced far enough in Ranni’s questline, you won’t be able to reach the area where Lucidity sorcery is used. Obtaining the Carian Inverted Statue is a requirement, which can only be acquired once you’ve reached the end of Nokron, Eternal City. To get there, you must first defeat Starscourge Radahn and then explore deep underground.

After that, make a trip to the Carian Study Hall situated on the eastern part of Liurnia. Once you reach there, kindly place the statue on the altar located in the main chapel section. This action will cause quite an upheaval, turning the entire tower on its head. Then, proceed to the large inner room where Preceptor Miriam, along with her spectral guards and a sizable horde of Fingercreepers, can be found.

In the Carian Study Hall situated in the eastern part of Liurnia of the Lakes, triumphing against Miriam (quite a challenge) immediately grants you access to the Lucidity sorcery. However, casting this spell requires a Intelligence level of 17, which is higher than what most default classes offer. Consequently, you’ll either need to allocate resources towards enhancing a stat that may not be part of your intended build or continue relying on Clarifying Boluses for Madness relief. Your encounter with Miriam occurs during the witch’s mission following your visit to Nokron, Eternal City.

How to Increase Your Madness Resistance in Elden Ring

Having a strong resistance to Madness reduces the likelihood of being affected by it, making it harder for enemies to inflict this status upon you. Your Focus stat determines this resistance level, which is displayed in the bottom right corner of both your equipment and status displays.

As a seasoned adventurer with years of experience under my belt, I’ve come to understand that every piece of equipment I wear plays a crucial role in my journey. Among these, the focus granted by each armor set is particularly intriguing. The more focus you have, the more intense your madness gauge becomes – and the longer it takes for your abilities to activate.

• Mushroom Set
• Braided Set (from Hornsent in Shadow of the Erdtree)
• Corhyn’s Set
• Solitude Set (from the Blackgaol Knight in Shadow of the Erdtree)
• Fire Prelate Set

Among the five options, I’m drawn to the Solitude Set due to its appealing appearance, which seems to be a popular choice among others in multiplayer games as well. On the other hand, despite the Shield of the Guilty offering a substantial Focus boost, its unattractive design and unappealing stats deter me from considering it.

As a seasoned player with countless hours spent exploring the mystical lands of this game, I can tell you that the Mottled Necklaces are a viable option for those seeking optimal Madness resistance. With three variations offering 50, 70, and 100 Focus points respectively, these talismans surely pack a punch in enhancing your character’s mental fortitude.

In Elden Ring, here’s how to get rid of Madness: You may not encounter this status effect as frequently as others, but be warned, it can be quite lethal, second only to Scarlet Rot.
