"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

      I wanted to play a madness build for a while so I said I'd better farm this. After about 1/2 h I got the drop and went to equip it. Lo and behold, I had another one in my inventory. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

        To everyone mad about the drop rate, don't be. This thing is bound to drop at least once per playthrough, and you can easily farm it in one or two rests if you just use a silver fowl foot and clear that spot in volcano manor where they crawl around.

        I do wish there was better fashion. I like the bdsm masks of the previous souls games more.

          Does not boost incantation damage as of the latest patch. Not sure if it ever did but tested with frenzy flame burst

            Super brainless farm: start at guest hall site of grace. Right outside the door is one of the insane albinaurics that drop the item. Snipe it with frenzied burst or any other long range spell/weapon. Sit back at grace, repeat. You can find a spot from the grace that lets you snipe the albinauric as soon as you stand up, so you don't have to move. Turn on a TV show, podcast, or listen to music, and get the item no stress

              it's kind of frustrating that a cool synergy with madness is locked to the one dumpy-ass hat
              it should have been a talisman

                Didn't get this thing to drop, decided to farm bird feet for silver feet, went back and used silber foot only to get it on the second run only using one silver foot. That's my luck everyone. And that's not even the first time this happened to me. So how's your farming day going?

                  Currently on attempt #25, 205 arcane, running thru 5 albies at guest hall mt gelmir. No dumpling. Albinauric bomboclot.

                    Did they change the duration of the buff? The page says 60 seconds, but as of 1.12.3 it only lasts 30 seconds.

                      somehow got it on my fourth reset in castle sol
                      I used gravitas with magic affinity to get all the albinaurics at once and to get them right infront for faster pickup.
                      setup was useful for nothing

                              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?

                                    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.

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

                                                                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.
