How do you prevent madness in Elden Ring?
How to Avoid Madness – There are two ways that you can get rid of the madness flame on top of a tower near Frenzied Flame Village. You should either craft a number Clarifying Boluses and consume one everytime that your madness bar increases to temporarily neutralize the madness effect, or you should head to the top of the tower to kill the NPCs that flame the create the madness.
- Crafting Clarifying Boluses is not an option for those who doesn’t have the related cookbook for it, so, we are going straight to the second method, which is destroyting the madness flame.
- On your way towards the tower, you can hide behind rocks or terrain that blocks the tower’s sight on you.
- This way, your madness affection will decrease, and then you can continue your way towards the tower once you find another rock to hide behind.
Once you reach the foot of the tower, there is a huge rat next to the ladder. Killing the rat is the best option, but you can make your way to the top of the ladder by accpeting a single bite from rat and healing yourself with a flask. Once you reached the top floor, there are six NPCs that won’t attack you, but you should kill them all to destroy the madness affect.

Where to Find the Lucidity Spell Location – 
You probably won’t be able to get the Lucidity Spell until well in Ranni’s questline, It’s well-worth using to cure Madness, but it’s dropped by Preceptor Miriam in the Carian Study Hall in eastern Liurnia of the Lakes. You visit the location during the witch’s quest after visiting Nokron, Eternal City.
It’s possible to face Preceptor Miriam beforehand — prior to inverting the tower with the Carian Inverted Statue — but it’s likely you’ll need to increase your character level or upgrade your weapons before being able to take them down. Their spells hit incredibly hard, and they’re defended by more than a few irritating mobs.
Lucidity “alleviates buildup of Sleep and Madness” and requires a staff to cast. It instantly removes any Madness buildup, no matter how small or large, for 14 FP, The cast is relatively short, but don’t let your status meter rise too high too quickly just to be safe.
