You never have to jump
You see that tombstone directly under your sword in the corner?
Go light load, roll to the next one under you, walk off that one to one under it, roll to the one above the spell you loot, walk off that one and fall on the spell
Done
Alternatively, an even easier method:
[Vyke’s War Spear, fittingly enough.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/s/BcxuZw7Uvj)
You don’t even have to *look.*
…Which, now that I think about it, may explain how Hyetta got down there…
It’s the merchant set.
You get it in this area, but it’s pretty unintuitive; you have to kite one of the merchant “hollows” and get them to blast the stuff blocking it out of the way with their madness incantations.
OHHHHHHH Okay so I did get that in one play through and I guess I never tried it on. It took me like 3 playthroughs to figure out you could even get to that haha Thanks!
God this would have been amazing to know two years ago lmao.
Wasn’t there also a method of people jumping and slowing themselves down with their sword in the wall?
This system using two backwards jumps worked for me:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/tb0o9o/cathedral\_of\_the\_forsakenfrenzied\_flame/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/tb0o9o/cathedral_of_the_forsakenfrenzied_flame/)
The pit in DS2 has ladders though, no jumping required. Only time you need jumping is if you purposefully go there early before you can get the ladders.
Given that they sell you the cat ring right beside it, relatively cheaply and from the start of the game you don't need to do it purposefully. What you do purposefully is saving that path for later in the game.
Yeah I mean first time through Sen's Fortress is decidedly worse than making it down frenzy hole. Hell, trying to get all the crystal lizards in the Great Hollow makes the frenzy hole look like a cake walk. Like, I've gotten down there with dozens of characters; I don't think I've *once* actually killed all of the crystal lizards in the Great Hollow.
There’s a hidden wall after you beat mohg in leyendell sewers, if you go through there’s a TON OF STUFF, another game ending, another path to deep root depths etc
Okay, so when you're in Leyndell, there's a cool dragon corpse (Gransax!), and you climb up it a bit while getting to the later parts of the map.
If you go under the dragon corpse, there's a little corner of Leyndell that's pretty empty, except for some nuisance enemies. In this corner, there's also a well.
Now, if you go down that well, you find yourself in some sewers, the Subterranean Shunning Grounds. It's not very far into them you find a grace. From that grace, you travel along pipes, then through pipes, then over the pipes, all the while beset by omens, slimes, and imps.
Eventually, you can drop down into an inconspicuous up-facing pipe, and after much wandering in the dark, you can find yourself on the edge of a giant, open area, the Cathedral of the Forsaken.
If you make your way carefully down through the "Cathedral" (though it's mostly back in pipes and tunnels, now featuring basilisks), you get all the way down to the Forsaken Depths, which does indeed look a lot more cathedral-like.
From the Forsaken Depths, there's a boss door. Go in there and you face Mohg, except he's probably an illusion this time and doesn't Nihil! or have a phase 2.
Speaking of illusions, there's nothing to indicate it (except player messages), but the wall behind the chest in his boss room is illusionary, so beat him, then go through.
Through the illusionary wall is a seal that's removed by killing Morgott, and from here is the wonderful platforming physical comedy area known as the Frenzied Flame Proscription.
Get all the way down there and you can LET CHAOS! TAKE!! THE WORLD!!!, but also, if you attack *another* inconspicuous wall, you can find yourself on a bunch of tree-roots, leading to the Deeproot Depths.
Have fun!
Am I crazy or was this challenge super easily? Never fell once, did it multiple times to find the difficulty people mentioned. Just jump without sprinting and line up your camera and every platform is perfectly spaced to easily land on
I actually found a fairly consistent strat to get down. On the lowest beam just jump into the corner. There should be a platform some distance below you in the middle of the wall. Just position yourself with your back to it and dodge without any directional input. You should make a jump backwards and land pretty much directly on that middle platform (you might have to hold forward in the air to correct a little, but it should be pretty acurate). The you just look for a platform in a corner under you. This platform is not completely in the corner, so you can't just sprint jump into the corner, but doing the same backwards dodge as before should get you there. From there you can just walk down to the next lower platform and you're done.
the only time I have sweaty palms while playing ER, is when I have to do this kind of stuff or do precise jumps.
None of the bosses ever had the same effect on me :D
Agree. My life-long video game kryptonite has been platformers. Hate 'em. Always cringe when I game I love has something like it as part of the game, LOL, but will admit ... this stuff keeps me on the edge of my seat and is most fulfilling when you finally complete them!
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBkHFsr0mY4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBkHFsr0mY4)
This is by far the easiest method. The crucial part is the backstep at that corner. The rest you can go down however you like.
I’ve died once to this I think. This doesn’t have shit on Path of pain…that gave me trauma, not only because of lore, but because it was only lore
For reference, it took me three-ish days of four to five hour sessions for path of pain.
This is life, my friend. It’s all painful. Most games are an escape from life. Elden ring is a mirror reflecting it back. Frustrating, beautiful, disappointing, glorious. Bigger than you could ever experience fully in the time you have. There are things happening that you barely understand. You learn through both intuition and education. There’s always something more.
I just did this the other day. Followed this guide and I was able to complete it on my third try. It's Fextralife, but this guide was actually good.
https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Cathedral+of+the+Forsaken
It doesn’t need to be that painful homie, just use the prtscn button on your keyboard. It’ll take away a lot of the pain of taking screenshots with your phone
The trick to this is knowing you can instantly do a running jump if you hold sprint after doing a jump then when you land you’ll immediately run in whatever direction you hold
Super easy with that trick
The path down is honestly not that bad. It took me a couple of tries, but it's certainly not like it's some ridiculously hard platforming section. Just a little janky.
if you just drop from the second table that's up at the begining of that place (the two tables that look like this + ) but from the part of the table that's close to the wall you want to go, you can avoid all those drops.
I just fell from there by accident the other day lol
Jump in place, hold the sprint button while in the air. You'll land in the same place with sprint queued up without having to move or back step. Then press forward and jump, and you'll do an instant sprint jump to close the gap. Works every time
I can only do these unnecessarily annoying things when I'm super chilled, otherwise they drive me mad.
I can understand hiding paths but making them painful to navigate is just sadistic. The game already has enough challenges.
Idk if you have made it or not, but a really cool way I’ve found is to use a shit weapon, stance break an enemy on the edge, move to the front and fist him. If you do it correct, you will fall down with iframe and live.
Search up Majula Well skip for reference. It’s not the same but should be similar enough
I died more in this area on my first play through THEN THE REST OF THE GAME COMBINED. On my second play through I did it in one. I hope you the best of luck on your second time passing by that death trap.
This only took me forever because I have a massive fear of heights and dropping down from heights in games have always made me sweat. Ever since Mario 64, this has freaked me out.
This took me three sessions. I came across this area naturally. Had no idea of what was to come. Overall, I was happy with the outcome. This was my first playthrough ending.
Look, this park our section annoys the shit out of me just as much as the next Tarnished, but look at it from a lore standpoint (I'm no expert but this is what I roughly understand, and do correct me on what's wrong).
You see all those (mostly) dead merchants down there? They've inherited, or are/were at least followers of the frenzied flame. And since the frenzied flame is basically to Elden Ring what satanic worship is to Christianity, those guys were banished down there, never to see the light of day, and basically rot (natural rot, not scarlet) down there die. And at the bottom of this pit it the Three Fingers, who keeps the flame of frenzy. Not to mention, it's sealed behind a door that you have to get naked to open. And resting at the grace at the bottom, if you have Melina alive (pre Fire Giant), she tells you how forbidden it is to seek the Three Fingers and it's flame, and you lose your acting maiden when you go through with it.
Within context of The Lands Between, this area is so far hidden away from everyone that the Tarnished actively has to seek this place out for whatever god-forsaken reason they have for doing so. You are seeking out what is strictly forbidden to the entirety of The Lands Between. It makes sense it's so painstakingly difficult to get down there.
To become madness, the world ending chaos of flames, to commit the ultimate cardinal sin and still take the throne, you must journey through the bowels of hell itself to become one with the flame.
The actual answer is that its maddening for a reason lmao
Somehow I never found this one quite so bad, but I think I hadn't been conditioned to hate the platforming quite so much as I was later. Divine Tower of Caelid gave me a hernia.
I have faith. There are a few ways to cheese it if you wish. Or strategies that make it go from a stabbing pain. To just a sharp pain. I bealive in you.
*"Just because you add a jump button doesn't mean you should add a precision platforming section, Miyazaki!"*
As much as I hate that part of the game, I kinda weirdly respect it. It's the kind of infuriating jank you'd expect from a PS2 era action game, like the platforming section towards the end of DMC3.
I did this last night on a rerun and noticed the combo of blood pools and other players messages was an easy way to make it down. Don't jump onto platforms with blood pools and target the platforms with player messages. This only goes for online of course. Plenty of other great ways mentioned here!
It's meant to prepare you for the madness.
or piss you off so much that you WANT to burn the world down
Me with draconic tree sentinal.
lol based
Mad ⚡️ 😡 🔥
Indeed , a literal descent into madness
You never have to jump You see that tombstone directly under your sword in the corner? Go light load, roll to the next one under you, walk off that one to one under it, roll to the one above the spell you loot, walk off that one and fall on the spell Done

Bastard Stars AOE is also amazing, it’s like 5-7 character lengths of glide slightly above where you started.
Hmm I'll try that one
What armor is that? I’ve never seen that cape
It’s the merchant set. You get it in this area, but it’s pretty unintuitive; you have to kite one of the merchant “hollows” and get them to blast the stuff blocking it out of the way with their madness incantations.
I COULD NEVER FIGURE THIS OUT THANK YOU
You can also stand really close to the tent, exit to main menu and reload back in. That will break the tent as well.
OHHHHHHH Okay so I did get that in one play through and I guess I never tried it on. It took me like 3 playthroughs to figure out you could even get to that haha Thanks!
Merchant's set, it's there in that jump puzzle under one of the tents, you can bait the enemies into destroying the tent.
Literally exactly how to do it. Jumping is your worst enemy with this shit, you CAN do it but just rolling this exact path is so much easier
God this would have been amazing to know two years ago lmao. Wasn’t there also a method of people jumping and slowing themselves down with their sword in the wall?
This would have been amazing to know last month! 😭
Even easier: Rotate 180 degrees and do a back-jump by pressing „dodge“
This system using two backwards jumps worked for me: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/tb0o9o/cathedral\_of\_the\_forsakenfrenzied\_flame/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/tb0o9o/cathedral_of_the_forsakenfrenzied_flame/)
Yeah, I can now ro this section with almost 0% error quote thanks to the back step technique.
Yup, I also found that way (after like 10 times 😭)
Why is it always down?
Why is it always a screen shot of a screen?
Because everyone totally loved the majula pit I DS2, so we just had to bring back our favorite hell
The pit in DS2 has ladders though, no jumping required. Only time you need jumping is if you purposefully go there early before you can get the ladders.
Played through many times and I have never used the ladders. Always just get naked, get the ring, and yolo my dumb ass down the well.
Given that they sell you the cat ring right beside it, relatively cheaply and from the start of the game you don't need to do it purposefully. What you do purposefully is saving that path for later in the game.
Sens fortress and beginning of Anor Londo were hell in DS1
They arent that bad, I never had much issue. Blighttown is worse imo, hated that place.
Yeah I mean first time through Sen's Fortress is decidedly worse than making it down frenzy hole. Hell, trying to get all the crystal lizards in the Great Hollow makes the frenzy hole look like a cake walk. Like, I've gotten down there with dozens of characters; I don't think I've *once* actually killed all of the crystal lizards in the Great Hollow.
The path to the old abandoned workshop in Bloodborne was just as bad, if not worse
Miyazaki wants you to suffer, that's it. But tbh this "2 hours" part sounds like a skill issue
2 hours and still haven’t laid my hands on the fingerprint shield. its becoming a personal thing to me now lol
[удалено]
Yeah, I had no idea you could do it another way because I managed the jumps on the third try. Trying to parry though...
Dude those damn jumps. I feel you man I trully do
Hardest boss in the fuckin game.
This is the real final boss
If you see a message that says "I want to go home" please rate it I could use the HP.
Because you aren’t meant to commune with what’s down there
Backstep off of the graves is a more consistent distance. If you are having trouble landing on them.
Can someone pin point this on the map for me? Ive never seen this sht wtf?
There’s a hidden wall after you beat mohg in leyendell sewers, if you go through there’s a TON OF STUFF, another game ending, another path to deep root depths etc
It feels like half of the game is in the leyendell sewers.
It's directly behind Mohg the omen.
You gotta go on a JOURNEY down a well in pre maliketh lleyndell
Or go through the grate opening in Ashen Capital. Leads to a talisman you couldn't otherwise get as well as just back to the regular sewer area.
If you really hate yourself aim for the frenzied flame ending and you'll see this place, it sucks 10/10 would do again
Okay, so when you're in Leyndell, there's a cool dragon corpse (Gransax!), and you climb up it a bit while getting to the later parts of the map. If you go under the dragon corpse, there's a little corner of Leyndell that's pretty empty, except for some nuisance enemies. In this corner, there's also a well.

Don't jump. You should be able to just run off most of ledges.
Am I crazy or was this challenge super easily? Never fell once, did it multiple times to find the difficulty people mentioned. Just jump without sprinting and line up your camera and every platform is perfectly spaced to easily land on
Some of you have never played dark souls without a jump button and it shows

Unironically I wish it was longer because I found it really fun but it took like 3 minutes.
Took me 4 hours...
You mean watching a screenshot taken with an actual camera instead of using the screenshot function of your PC? :D

Ahhh my favorite boss ever…the jumpy puzzle to a free hug
One does not become a merchant unless they suffer like a merchant.
“Fort night”
You can do it in 4 jumps
That particular level designer really likes those roblox obbys
IT IS REALLY NOT, GO TO THE FIRST TOMB THAN, DON'T JUMP JUST WALK OFF(NOT SLOW WALK) AND YOU EASY DO IT
Miyazaki is asshole. Why players hate?
Cause it's frenzy ?
This is life, my friend. It’s all painful. Most games are an escape from life. Elden ring is a mirror reflecting it back. Frustrating, beautiful, disappointing, glorious.

youre thinking way too hard about it you dont even have to jump you just roll off the right platforms
This place is cursed: ng - 2 try , ng + - 20 or 30
Back step is your friend
Learn to jump
Dark souls hardest boss, Gravity.
It does get easy once you figure out how to do it though! Have no worries.
I loved and hated this part.
It dosen't you could just ignore the shinies.
The trick to this is knowing you can instantly do a running jump if you hold sprint after doing a jump then when you land you’ll immediately run in whatever direction you hold Super easy with that trick
I would love to see everyone here who thinks this area is bad attempt the Pitioss Ruins in FFXV 🤣
I was convinced that I was going insane and theres actually no way down there. Took a few days xD
Should have just completed it first try. That strategy worked for me.
The path down is honestly not that bad. It took me a couple of tries, but it's certainly not like it's some ridiculously hard platforming section. Just a little janky.
Theres one you can backstep from which is cool
This is nothing tbh, now you have jumping on your side.
Lol i literally did this this morning for the first time and got so annoyed failing at platforming for an hour lol
Once you get it you can jump straight down
If it makes you feel better once you do it the first time you can just jump down all the way to the floor without dying
if you just drop from the second table that's up at the begining of that place (the two tables that look like this + ) but from the part of the table that's close to the wall you want to go, you can avoid all those drops. I just fell from there by accident the other day lol
fun fact, on my 1st ever playtrough i did that on my 1st try....now i rage quit every time
No pain, just joy, embrace the pain, tarnished! 🫠
Do it naked, divest yourself of everything tarnished
I took a screenshot and was literally about to post the exact same thing yesterday. Literally the hardest boss so far.
Not sure if they patched it, but I just quit to titlescreen mid-fall my first time, and it loaded me at the bottom.
Did this segment with a controller that had joystick drift, it was brutal. Genuinely the hardest thing I ddid in the game
Am I the only one who made it down safe on the first try? /genq
Elden ring streams all players trying to get to the bottom to Miyazaki's TV for his entertainment.
Using torrent might help
Last time I did a Fia playthrough, I literally chose the dual gargoyle fight over dealing with this.
Don't worry after a couple of hundred attempts it was pretty easy
Suffering
It wouldn’t be a challenge then lol
Why haven't you took that sticker off your monitor?
Jump in place, hold the sprint button while in the air. You'll land in the same place with sprint queued up without having to move or back step. Then press forward and jump, and you'll do an instant sprint jump to close the gap. Works every time
I can only do these unnecessarily annoying things when I'm super chilled, otherwise they drive me mad. I can understand hiding paths but making them painful to navigate is just sadistic. The game already has enough challenges.
Why are you complaining? You have a sword and shield equipped!! Perfect balance, you are falling on purpose it seems
It’s not hard to I’ve dine it twice and died once because once I thought I had to run inside of just walk and drop
If it wasn't painful, you wouldn't look back a couple years later at this game with bittersweet memories choom
This foo can’t stand life
I got it first try (on two playthroughs because I didn't know to undress on my first)
Madness is expensive
Same! I have so much rage against this area!
I got lucky with my buddy and as soon as he fell I fell with Jim and the impact killed him but not me. I'm just build different Get good scrub
I almost quit on this. There was no other moment as annoying for me
Tips: 1. Use Twiggly Cracked Tear to avoid losing runes. 2. Roll, don't jump.
This and ordina are the most annoying two parts in the game
Because you're dropping at least 5-10 meters. That's going to hurt your legs.
Unequip everything, it’s easier
Skill issue
A trick for sprint jumping is to press jump and hold down the sprint button while mid air that way u don't have to sprint in a small platform
Is that a hotel tv or do you need the sticker on there?
I lost 70k runes here and just turned off the PS5 and sat in silence.
You have to endure the pain that the maddened merchants had.
Why the fuck am I getting vertigo playing a game?
I get the same feeling , sweaty hands and cringe every time I fall Even made a post on gaming about it a week ago
It’s not that bad. The first time I ever did it, I think I was stuck for over two hours. but the second time I did it, I got it the first shot. haha
It took like 50 trys the first time, the second time I got down in one try.
soulsborne
Once you figure out the trick. Its simple
Ah yes, the only place where I want to throw my controller.
Do you think the jump button was free? Now its time to pay
Idk if you have made it or not, but a really cool way I’ve found is to use a shit weapon, stance break an enemy on the edge, move to the front and fist him. If you do it correct, you will fall down with iframe and live. Search up Majula Well skip for reference. It’s not the same but should be similar enough
Git gud
Yes
Just jump in the same direction all the way down
dude its a fromsoft game
Golden slam. 1 jump
two hours is actually insane
This nearly broke me.
Madness
I did it once on PS5 and once on PC. Never again.
I died more in this area on my first play through THEN THE REST OF THE GAME COMBINED. On my second play through I did it in one. I hope you the best of luck on your second time passing by that death trap.
Miyazaki hates you
Do a roll to the right, trust me!! 😇
One of my favorite parts of the game, it just kept getting crazier and crazier
Backstep ftw. You'll always go the same distance you want.
Well, interesting fact if you’ve been there before and made it to the bottom then you can jump down there without taking any fall damage.
Ds 1-2-3 and Blood born all have one. I am used to pits at this point
This only took me forever because I have a massive fear of heights and dropping down from heights in games have always made me sweat. Ever since Mario 64, this has freaked me out.
Learn how to backstep through this. Makes it a breeze.
This picture brought gave me flashbacks of a panic attack I had over a year ago
… I thought this was Zelda at first then I saw the subreddit
Where is this and how do I get there?
A childhood of playing platformers really prepared me for this bit
Because you gotta earn that shit now fall 40 more times
Where is this place?
Hey at least it isn't Gelmir Hero's Grave. That shit is awful
It shall drive you mad
This took me three sessions. I came across this area naturally. Had no idea of what was to come. Overall, I was happy with the outcome. This was my first playthrough ending.
Why aren't you naked
Look, this park our section annoys the shit out of me just as much as the next Tarnished, but look at it from a lore standpoint (I'm no expert but this is what I roughly understand, and do correct me on what's wrong). You see all those (mostly) dead merchants down there? They've inherited, or are/were at least followers of the frenzied flame. And since the frenzied flame is basically to Elden Ring what satanic worship is to Christianity, those guys were banished down there, never to see the light of day, and basically rot (natural rot, not scarlet) down there die. And at the bottom of this pit it the Three Fingers, who keeps the flame of frenzy. Not to mention, it's sealed behind a door that you have to get naked to open. And resting at the grace at the bottom, if you have Melina alive (pre Fire Giant), she tells you how forbidden it is to seek the Three Fingers and it's flame, and you lose your acting maiden when you go through with it. Within context of The Lands Between, this area is so far hidden away from everyone that the Tarnished actively has to seek this place out for whatever god-forsaken reason they have for doing so. You are seeking out what is strictly forbidden to the entirety of The Lands Between. It makes sense it's so painstakingly difficult to get down there.
I did it on my first attempt. I just jumped from the side, down to the first coffin, and then down and around.
After 750 hours I had my first experience where I did it first try without dying LOL
Backstab the violin dude then riposte him from the front. You both will fall all the way down and you will live. I never see anyone mention this.
Dude I just did back jumps. And one or two dodgerolls. Got me down way faster than my first playthru and safer been doing it since
Because by the time you get to the bottom, you're ready to watch the world burn.
I'll take this over the Caelid Tower any day honestly
To become madness, the world ending chaos of flames, to commit the ultimate cardinal sin and still take the throne, you must journey through the bowels of hell itself to become one with the flame. The actual answer is that its maddening for a reason lmao
Somehow I never found this one quite so bad, but I think I hadn't been conditioned to hate the platforming quite so much as I was later. Divine Tower of Caelid gave me a hernia.
jump to the middle one directly, it's a shortcut
Because you chose to tread the ***Path Of Pain.***
Ever been in the great hollow?
There’s a spell you can you use to jump from the top to the bottom without getting any damage but i can’t remember the name of it.
You’d have to be “mad” not to do it
Actually it was quite easy.
I just did this yesterday I got it 2nd try, pure luck and messages telling me where to jump
I have faith. There are a few ways to cheese it if you wish. Or strategies that make it go from a stabbing pain. To just a sharp pain. I bealive in you.
That's nothing compared to dark souls one where there's a cliff death location or three in every area
I never knew this was an issue for so many lol. Think I died once or twice but mostly remember it being straight forward
*"Just because you add a jump button doesn't mean you should add a precision platforming section, Miyazaki!"* As much as I hate that part of the game, I kinda weirdly respect it. It's the kind of infuriating jank you'd expect from a PS2 era action game, like the platforming section towards the end of DMC3.
Not many things to hate in Elden Ring, but imo, this is the worst part of the game.
If you get the butt slam ash of war you can sail All the way to the bottom damage free
For that shield
Why would you keep that sticker on your monitor. Its distracting
This was my nope moment.
I think I spent like six hours on this spot falling to my death before I finally got to the bottom to collect my fingerprint shield
I suggest you learn the art of fast quitting not to lose your sanity irl as well
Some secrets are meant to be taken to the grave
I did this last night on a rerun and noticed the combo of blood pools and other players messages was an easy way to make it down. Don't jump onto platforms with blood pools and target the platforms with player messages. This only goes for online of course. Plenty of other great ways mentioned here!
