Elden Ring players have long pondered why Torrent, the trusty steed, is inexplicably absent from the game's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expansion, specifically the Abyssal Woods. While many initially attributed this to the area's hostile environment, recent discoveries point to a more sinister reason.
The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC introduced a host of new elements to the Elden Ring universe, including weapons, spells, and unique mechanics like Scadutree Fragments. However, one particular change has sparked much discussion: the absence of Torrent in the Abyssal Woods. A game mechanic preventing players from summoning their spectral steed in this area has left many puzzled.
A recent tweet from user SirJohnSekiro shed light on this mystery. It appears that Torrent's fear is not merely a response to the region's formidable enemies, but rather a deep-rooted connection to the Frenzied Flame. According to the item description for Surging Frenzied Flame, this potent power is capable of melting spectral beings. This suggests that the Abyssal Woods is imbued with such a strong concentration of the Frenzied Flame that Torrent's very existence is threatened.
This revelation offers a compelling explanation for Torrent's absence and adds an intriguing layer of lore to the already complex world of Elden Ring.
