Shadow of the Erdtree introduced a treasure trove of new lore to the already elaborate universe of Elden Ring, and one surprising mystery can be found in an unassuming dark corner of the Shadow Realm. The expansion of the Frenzied Flame lore includes an area that will drive Tarnished mad, quite literally: the terrifying Abyssal Woods, where even Torrent is afraid to roam. If Tarnished dare explore this area and manage to avoid the many difficult enemies – including the Aging Untouchables, who can only be defeated with a well-timed parry – they will find themselves at Midra’s Manse.
