Black Dumpling is a Helm in Elden RingBlack Dumpling is an individual piece and doesn't belong to any set. Black Dumpling protect the player's head by applying various defensive properties, it also changes the appearance as well when it is equipped. Some armor pieces may be available to both genders but may be slightly different for male and female characters.

 

"Mask forced on a victim's head to lend torture an extra degree of cruelty.
It magnifies one's fears and makes them acutely aware of all forms of pain.

Raises attack power when the wearer suffers from madness.

When the Black Dumpling goes on, the torturer no longer seeks answers; only to inflict suffering without hope of relief."

Elden Ring Black Dumpling Notes & Tips

  • Sell Value: runes currency elden ring wiki guide 18 10 Runes
  • Base drop rate is 0.5% (at 100 Discovery)
  • Best place to farm is in Volcano Manor. 
    • The darkened stairwell prior to reaching the Guest Hall site of grace has several First Generation Albinaurics in it
    • The shortcut that leads directly to the entry hall of the Volcano Manor is also a viable option, however, this requires beating the Godskin Noble first
    • The one Black Dumpling wearing Albinaurics near Subterranean Inquisition Chamber site of grace.
  • After you suffer Madness it boosts ALL damage by 10% for 60 seconds, not just attack power. This buff persists even if the helm is removed.
  • Howl of Shabriri is the best tool for intentionally triggering the madness buildup (Howl is buff on its own).  If you are earlier in the game, The Flame of Frenzy spell can be a viable alternate option
  • Poise Updated to patch 1.07

      50 min of my time with 196 discovery. I think the madness I built up farming this should be enough to proc it infinitely

        I keep searching dumplings, and here i get a hat.... not a tasty delectable treat. CURSE YOU, FROMSOFT FOR NAMING IT A FOOD ITEM!!!!! T_T

          Fought another player in a duel and they left this on the ground as a gift for me before fighting. Very wholesome moment considering it's a rare drop.

            So does it trigger whenever you have some buildup on your madness bar, or only once the bar fills and you get the "MADNESS" popup?

              Level 1 runners socks and shoes I tell you! The innate +10% of all damage goes so far I swear it makes a difference! Can't imagine how good this **** is on a normal playthrough, slept on this one for way too long lol

                I acquired one of these because of my sheer terror of the weird black bag head grabbers. I guess my really is turning around.

                  Go farm mats for Pickled Silver Feet if you need. Equip Sacred Relic sword. Go through the doorway in volcano manor across from where Patches. Use AOW on all the Albinaurics. Rinse repeat.

                  Wear the silver tear mask, silver scarab, and Marika’s Soreseal for more arcane/discovery. Make sure you run back, and not teleport, to the Volcano Manor grace if you wanna get 3 farms per foot.

                    I want to farm this, but I just can't face those scary crawling Abinaurics. Their voice and movement scared me too much.

                      I was farming for the magma blade for more or less than an hour, then this black dumpling suddenly dropped from a nearby albinauric. And on the same run, the magma blade miraculously dropped. One of the best days of my life indeed

                          I got one today from Castle Sol. There are 3 or 4 of those enemies on a lower level inside the building where the spectral knights spawn just before Commander Niall.

                            Can someone explain how unendurable frenzy is a good choice to inflict madness on yourself? It’s legit the worst way to do it, unless I’m missing something here. Howl of shabriri does it a lot faster and with less fp and on top of that you get 25 percent general damage buff with a 10 percent physical damage buff with the black dumpling. Flame of frenzy is the practically just as good but without the debuff and it cost like 5 fp more. I’m running a mad berserker build with 14 mind using armor with 0 focus. In just one cast of howl of shabririr I can fill 95 percent of the madness bar up. I’ve even tested it with 24 mind and couldn’t even proc in one cast with unendurable frenzy. It took 3 casts with howl of shabriri and flame of frenzy but I still had enough fp left over to cast both of those 3 more times. Unendurable frenzy just seems like a terrible choice.

                              As of patch 1.07.1 The Flame of Frenzy does not trigger the buff. I do not have the later game madness incants as of right now to test, but only Howl of Shabriri applies it for me.

                              Also for fellow farmers, per an earlier comment using the Volcano Manor grace if you have the shortcut back to the entrance/hallway across from where Patches sits there are 5 or 6 Albinaurics in the main dark room. Managed to luckily get the dumpling in about 20 minutes with 8 Arcane using Silver Pickled feet for 150something discovery.

                                  The Guest Hall grace is a much better farming spot with 1 dumpling guy right outside the room, 4 more in the dungeon/torture area, and 1 more that comes down from the stairs in the same area.

                                    I just got this. Had no clue what it was until I came here to look it up just now.

                                    Seems pretty sweet. I farmed for them for a total of 0 minutes. How does that make you feel?

                                      Will this drop from the one at the subterranean inquisition chamber? I see no reason as to why it wouldn't but I haven't seen anyone mention farming that guy

                                        The existence of this item reminds me to not have any sympathy killing anyone of the Volcano manor NPCS. Except Rya, the sweeting.

                                            You don't need to use Howling Shabriri, or even be a faith build at all, to make use of this item. Use a Frenzyflame Stone. They're easy to craft once you find the recipe in the Cathedral of the Forsaken area. Sanctuary Stones can be brought from the bell bearing in Farum Azula, and Yellow Embers can be easily gotten from the opposite end of the bridge next to 9th Campsite in Gelmir, several of them near the frenzied knights there (though they're hard to see in the ground until you look for them). You can even swap out the hat once you've gotten the 10% free damage boost.

                                                                                      Hope this helps best of luck!
