For the Tarnished wandering the unforgiving lands of the Lands Between in 2026, the search for power often leads down strange and perilous paths. Those yearning for a tool of precise, devastating reach—a spell capable of erasing foes from across misty lakes and towering battlements—will find their prayers answered not by grace, but by madness itself. Much as the Bolt of Gransax serves as a sniper rifle for the dexterous, and Loretta's Bow is the arbalest of scholars, the Frenzied Burst Incantation stands as one of the supreme long-range options for those who channel the chaotic power of Arcane. Its acquisition, however, demands a pilgrimage to the heart of despair, the Frenzied Flame Village, a place where sanity is the first casualty and the reward is a beam of pure, mind-shattering energy.
What Is The Frenzied Burst Incantation?
The Frenzied Burst is more than a mere spell; it is a focused lance of golden-yellow chaos, a concentrated scream made manifest. To wield it, a Tarnished must possess 22 Faith, alongside a modest cost of 24 FP and 33 Stamina.
Key Attributes:
-
Effect: Fires an extraordinarily long-range beam.
-
Charge Mechanic: Can be charged for 23.5% increased damage, granting it the ability to pierce through multiple enemies.
-
Status Effect: Inflicts Madness buildup on targets and a minor amount on the caster.
This incantation doesn't just wound the body; it assaults the mind. It's the perfect tool for those who prefer to engage their enemies from a safe distance, picking them off like a falcon plucking a rabbit from a field before it even knows the danger is present.
Where To Find The Frenzied Burst Incantation
The journey for this power is a trial in itself. The incantation is held by a skittish Teardrop Scarab lurking near the Frenzied Flame Village in the eastern reaches of Liurnia. The closest landmark, fittingly, is the Church of Inhibition Site of Grace.
For those starting their trek:
-
Begin at the Grand Lift of Dectus Grace if the Church is undiscovered.
-
Head south, find a ramp crossing the main road, and follow it northeast.
-
Traverse the hazardous area overseen by the Tower of Madness.
Upon surviving this, the Tarnished enters the cursed Frenzied Flame Village. Here, a sharp right turn reveals another ramp scaling the mountain southward. At the summit lies a clearing—a potential battleground with Festering Fingerprint Vyke. From there, moving southwest between two distinct clusters of trees reveals the prize: the glowing Teardrop Scarab. Its defeat yields the coveted incantation, a secret prize in a land of screaming inhabitants.
How To Use The Frenzied Burst Incantation
To transform this powerful spell into a true instrument of ruin, preparation is key. The right tools amplify its potency like a tuning fork resonating with a perfect, destructive frequency.
Recommended Talismans for Maximizing Damage:
| Talisman | Damage Increase Effect |
|---|---|
| Godfrey Icon | Increases charged attack damage by 15% |
| Flock's Canvas Talisman | Boosts all incantation damage by 8% |
| Faithful's Canvas Talisman | Boosts all incantation damage by 4% |
After meeting the 22 Faith requirement, the build's true focus shifts to Arcane. This stat is the engine of the build, dramatically increasing the rate at which the Madness status builds up on targets.
The Seal Dilemma: While the thematic Frenzied Flame Seal offers a 20% damage buff to Madness spells, its poor stat scaling makes it a fleeting choice, like a brilliant firework that quickly fizzles. For long-term dominance, the Dragon Communion Seal is superior. It boasts better scaling and, crucially, enhances the buildup of status effects like Madness. With a high Arcane investment and this seal, a single, fully-charged Frenzied Burst can often instantly fill an enemy's Madness meter.
Uses In PvP and PvE
The Frenzied Burst carves distinct niches in both player-versus-player duels and against the world's monstrous inhabitants.
In PvP, this incantation is the ultimate ambush predator. It excels when the target is oblivious, their guard down. An invaser landing a fully-charged shot on an unsuspecting host can end an invasion in a heartbeat, the initial Madness proc serving as a harpoon that locks the victim in place for a swift, stunlocked demise.
🔥 Pro-Tip for Invaders: Use the environment for cover. A shot from a hidden ledge or through fog is often a death sentence.
In PvE, its utility shifts. Its incredible range allows a Tarnished to snipe dangerous field bosses from the back of Torrent, combining a steed's mobility with the pinpoint firepower of a tank-busting railgun. For those seeking to push damage to its absolute limit, a suite of buffs can be layered:
-
Howl of Shabriri (+25% damage, but causes self-Madness)
-
Golden Vow (+15% damage)
-
Black Dumpling Helmet (+10% damage after suffering Madness)
This combination yields a staggering 50% total damage increase. The strategy is to use Howl of Shabriri to deliberately trigger Madness on oneself before engaging a boss, donning the Black Dumpling to secure the buff, and then unleashing beams that strike with the relentless, drilling force of a diamond-tipped bore. In the right hands, the Frenzied Burst is not just a spell; it is a surgical instrument of controlled chaos, allowing the Tarnished to dictate the terms of engagement from a throne of safe, maddening distance.
