To get rid of Frenzied Flames, you need to use Miquella’s Needle in the Dragonlord Placidusax arena, which will free you from the Three Fingers’ branding and allow you to access other endings for which you’ve met the requirements. This process essentially tames the flame of frenzy, locking you out of the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending and restoring access to other game endings.
Understanding Frenzied Flames
Getting rid of Frenzied Flames is a critical aspect of exploring different endings in the game, as choosing to become the Lord of Frenzied Flame brings about a significant change to the Lands Between, essentially destroying everything with the hope that something better might eventually be born from the ashes.
