Elden Ring - Frenzied Flame Merchant Song Arrangement with Lord of Frenzied Flame Ending

The merchant's song in the cave of the frenzied flame is a beautiful melody. I wanted to do a little arrangement of it and I thought it paired nicely with the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending.

[GhostPandaFestival]

Hey all! I'm glad many of you are enjoying my arrangement of this beautiful melody from this fantastic game.
As per some requests, I've uploaded a slightly extended version with no cutscene or dialogue here:
Enjoy!

the sight of the Erdtree in ruins always gets me. this great entity, that not even the prophesied Flame of Ruin could fully burn, just completely melted away

[lillonerboi]

This makes the ending go from a “lmao may chaos take the world” ending to a legitimately heart wrenching and emotional ending. Both sorrow for those afflicted by madness and for those who will be burned away by the chaos flame against their will. Fromsoft missed a great opportunity to play this song and then close it out with the horrific screams of the populace of the lands between like in the actual ending.

[cinders]

One of the creepiest things about this is how the Tarnished moves around, arms spread, observing their hands, throwing back their head like they're laughing.

Getting infected with Madness is painful, it's agonizing, your eyes turn to sludge and leak out the sockets, your brain burning from the fire in it, The Tarnished entire skull disintegrates, and the way they move makes it seem like they *enjoy it*

[kurama]

This is honestly so suitable for the ending I can't stop re-watching it. The original feeling of the ending characterized you as almost a chaotic nihilist with no remorse, burning and blending everything into one. But with the addition of this arrangement alone, it clearly shows why anyone would choose to be the Lord of Frenzied Flame in the first place, with the merchants, and anyone across the lands between rejected and spurned by the golden order. This music makes you remember their pain and sorrow that started this all in an ending that's crazy but also depressing.

Beautiful work man.

[Destroyer]

Fitting.

The grief and pain of those accused of heresy and sentenced to be buried alive and die, now playing as the flame born from that pain has its revenge.

By assuming they were heretics and would threaten the world Marika caused them to do that exact thing.

A self fulfilling prophecy showing that treating people like monsters can often make them the monsters you thought or claimed they were.

[ReallyNeedsCoffee]

Listening to this, "May Chaos take the world" seems more like a heartfelt plea rather than a madman's sick desire.

It's nice.

[aspenlakeorsomethinglikethat]

Would be cool if from restored kale's questline and you completed it, this theme would play during the frenzied flame ending

[kezboardgaming]

Man, this is good. It’s so much better than the original.
And makes it the most interesting and intriguing ending of them all.

[TheAnomaly]

This is absolutely phenomenal. The way the the echoing, haunting piano gives way to the original, lonely string melody as Melina picks up Torrent's ring out of the ashes gives me chills. This deserves so many more views.

[philosopherj]

“Those who gave me grapes howled without words. Saying they wished they were never born. Become their lord. Take their torment, despair. Their affliction. Every sin, every curse. And melt it all away. As the Lord of Chaos. No more fractures...no more birth...”

_Samson took hold of the two columns in the center, that supported the whole temple. He braced himself between the two columns. One column was at his right side and the other at his left side. Samson said, “Let me die with these Philistines!” Then he pushed as hard as he could, and the temple fell on him, and the rulers, and everyone in it._

[OCMOOO]

An eye for an eye, makes the whole world burn

Fun fact: *Shabriri is the demon of blindness in Jewish lore. His name in Hebrew translates to mean "dazzling glare" or more literally, "breaker of the eyesight*

[victorjun]

It feels not like the Lord of Frenzied Flame plunging the world into flames as everything burns down to nothing. It feels like a soothing end to all the pain, all the suffering the world and everything in it had to go through, like a mother embracing their child as their end comes by the face of a greater force against them. It's a comfortable end, to be embraced by the flames that settle the cries of those who suffered.

This feels better than the original Lord of Frenzied Flame ending.

[anaguma]

Personally I don't see this ending as vengeance against the Erdtree or justice being done. Adherents to the Frenzied Flame have come to the conclusion that the suffering within the world is so great that existence itself is not worth it. From their point of view, this is an act of compassion, a mercy killing.

[marcetustheplysterian]

This really grants a different perspective from the harrowing, chilling ambience that the original ending sound scheme gives off. The musical addition grants a far more serein touch to this ending of suffering. Beautiful work!

[AssyrianTitan]

- Doesn't want to sacrifice Melina
- Embraced the Three Fingers
- She gets mad and leaves, but that's ok we do it for her.. :(
- Don't use her to burn the Elden Tree, use self instead.
- Remove the Frenzied Flame with the Needle
- Become Elden Lord

[nowhereman]

There's a sort of wonder and child-like joy being conveyed with this music and the way the Tarnished is acting. The way the flame is revealed and how the Tarnished looks at it inquisitively.

[mooneater]

Let Chaos take the World.

Let the nobleman lay with the man he trod. Let the mother lay with her hold. Let those who wept lay with those who wet their cheeks. Let those who sang lay with those who danced. Let those who danced lay with those who could not. Let those who felt eternal pain lay with those untouched by it. Let Chaos embrace peace. Let the ashes of those who came before mingle with the sleeping babe and those who have yet to come.

Let those who burned lay with the kindling. Let the kindling lay with the sparks.

Let it all burn.
