Gnosticism: The Philosophy Behind Elden Ring’s Frenzied Flame

The followers of the Frenzied Flame in Elden Ring share some surprisingly similar beliefs to Gnostic Christianity, from their views on the creation of the universe to how the world will end. (Spoilers! Both involve fire. Lots and lots of fire.)

So with insights gleaned from Gnostic texts, join me in uncovering a radically different interpretation of the Flame of Frenzy, the Greater Will, and Hyetta's speech about the One Great, with a few references to the Demiurge, Evangelion and some dank Yaldabaoth memes sprinkled in.

Oh, and fun fact: "Apocalypse" is ancient Greek for "revelation."
