Shabriri | Elden Ring Wiki

Le evil bad. People huffing their own farts, waxing on and on about philosophy. This is why it all deserves to burn.

On my first playthrougth I didn't meet Yura
He: "I fear that you were previously acquainted with this vessel"
Me: "I don't even know who you are".jpg

I tought he had made very good points until he started screaming his chaos nonsense. He must be one of the best and one of the worst salesman at the same time.

I wouldn't necessarily conflate Shabriri's philosophy with nihilism. While there's some suggestion of that given the emphasis on suffering and we probably shouldn't perceive Shabriri as a particularly honest or upstanding guide, the Flame of Frenzy does have a lot of parallels to the ideas of anatta or self-annihilation - ideas prominent in Buddhist religion and Christian/Islamic mysticism respectively. The assertion that the Greater Will made a mistake in creating boundaries and separations and that life's spiritual goal should be a form of reunification isn't inherently nihilistic. It's an argument about the reality of being and about the futility of temporal attachments. Perhaps a bit more reflection on what the chaos Shabriri is referring to might be insightful. If we juxtapose it to the boundaries and distinctions mandated by the Golden Order, and understand in this context, then the chaos of the Flame of Frenzy is simply the undoing of those boundaries and distinctions so that all life may achieve a state similar to anatta or self-obliteration - the cosmological end goal of Buddhism or Sufism. That said, as I mentioned before, Shabriri is deeply unreliable and those afflicted by the Flame of Frenzy are deeply unsettling. So I tend to favor Mama Smurf's ending or Goldmask's ending.

My man Shabriri just wanted some grapes

Submit

I did the FF ending once just for the achievement, i'm not particulary fond of this ending and this character, but i gotta say, Shabriri voice actor at moutaintops of the giant is so talented, i love the way he talk to you at that spot, he's got that soothing yet unsettling tone, you almost want to trust him and take the bait to save melina
With every character i create i take the time to speak with him just to hear his voicelines, before killing him to claim the ronin set

Wanted frenzied flame incantations not all this teenager in the comments thinking they understand nihilism bs lmfao.

I did this ending 1st, not cause i like or dislike how its going to end, wanted to do that jumping puzzle of pain and never go back to that place.

Hey kid, I got some frenzy in the back of the van you can take some.

"Shabriri is the name of a Demon of Blindness in Jewish mythology, which is hinted at here due to the hands suggestively covering his eyes. In modern Hebrew, Shabriri translates literally as 'fragile'."
This is not accurate.
In the book "Ascending Jacob's Ladder: Jewish Views of Angels, Demons, and Evil Spirits" it is said that there also existed a demon of blindness, "Shabriri" (lit. "dazzling glare") who rested on uncovered water at night and blinded those who drank from it.

The simplest argument to refute a moral nihilist is to kill them.

Sorry, Melina, but I don’t want you to die.

Good thing I found this fancy needle.

Submit

no, chaos will not take the world.

Submit

I think most arguing in favour of the Frenzied Flame are either trolling or edgy teenagers who just learned what nihilism is (but don't actually understand it).

At least I hope so, because if you seriously hold those views... sheesh, get some help.

Submit

It's amazing to me some people seriously think Shabriri is "misunderstood" ffs.

Shabriri was the one who slandered the Merchants and led a pogrom against them so their pain and suffering would wake the Frenzied Flame and Three Fingers. He's also responsible for the Bell-Bearing Hunters from Eochaid being hired to kill Merchants presumably because he and his followers couldn't finish the job themselves.

There's no rebirth in the Frenzied Flame ending. If you succeed the world is reduced to a flaming miasma of chaos where everyone burns together as one horrible blob of frenzy, a spinning blender of searing pain for all eternity. (Think, a Graven Mass only a billion times worse)

Submit

will he still be there if im the one who killed yura?

Submit

Virgin Shabriri Fans vs Chad Goldmask Enjoyers

Submit

So supposedly he has dialog when he is killed.
Thats news to me, I had him at half health then hit him with a fully charged Ancient Lightning Spear from Bolt of Gransax and he just withered away.
Guess getting hit for 3-4x times his health pool will do that.

Submit

attacking ahead!

Submit

I could have ignored him, but he repossessed Yura's body. I set Yura to rest and got rid of some nut who made innocent nomads suffer.

Submit

So, Shabriri is really a demon? He takes over Yuras body after he(what we can gather from what Shabriri says) gave his body to the frenzied flame? That would mean Shabriri isn’t tarnished or human, he is a demon.

Submit

MAY CRAYONS TAKE THE WORLD!!!

Submit

This man will literally try to assume moral high ground and then tell you to erase the world 10 seconds later. Just end your existence and enter this incredible nothingness then. Even the nihilists know they talk nonsense. It's just intellectualized envy. "I'm too incompetent to organize my life properly to secure meaning, but so must be you, or else I have to face my own inadequacy."

It's like existential communism.

Submit

Did you know he is left handed? You can tell when you summon him. He holds the nagakiba in his left hand.

Submit

NiHiliSM iS sO boRIng. I'm glad you get an option to just burn everything up in a game and not give a damn for once.

Submit

To those who still believe Shabriri and by extension the Three Fingers are some "necessary evil", may I remind you of what Melina says, paraphrased "though there is suffering in the Lands Between, life goes on, births still happen, there is beauty in that". While yes, there is plenty of suffering and plenty of sins the Golden Order has caused, it can be fixed, it'll just take the efforts of a truly good Lord. The Frenzied Flame is the easy way out, instead of trying to fix everything, it's goal is to "kill everything and burn it ALL away". It's similar to commiting suicide, where instead of facing your problems head on, you take the easy way out. While yes, you no longer have problems, you leave everything around you in a state of ruin. The Frenzied Flame's plan isn't like End Game Thanos where he wants to destroy all life and then start it again with a world of peace. No, the Frenzied Flame wants to burn it all and KEEP it that way. So in all, the Frenzied Flame isn't the good ending, far from it.

Submit

So apparently Shabriri is a demon of blindness from Jewish beliefs. "Shabriri. Beriri. Riri. Jiri. Ri. I am thirsty for water in a white glass" -those words would banish him

Submit

I think Shabriri is actually the wisest character in the game, the truth is that all life is suffering and it is only fear and denial that makes us see the world as beautiful and good. Behind the fasade the ground we walk upon is composed of varius carcases and feces mixed and grinded to a mush over millions of years. Life requiers the death of others to sustain itself. Love will turn into pain once it is lost and that is inevitable. The unverse is literally shadow and fire and Earth is a rock being hurled around in it. We are on that rock utterly terrified and unknowing. Imagine if one could hear the entire world, what would that sound like? Pure utter horror, all the screams of people and animals dying and being hurt in countless gruesome ways. Melina - "Life endures, births continue. Is there not beauty in that?" No, it isn't. Do you think it feels good to be born? Maybe it feels more like being tossed into a lake of fire? She also says: "As one who strives to become a Lord deny not the lives of this world. The lord of the frenzied flame is no lord at all, when the land they preside over is lifeless" I love that she actually tries to tempt the player with the consept of power over others. I think the three fingers are the other side of the greater will and they are utterly enraged that they have been cast aside and locked away. Only to watch the two fingers claim to be the greater will and force rule and law upon creation. And then punishing blasphemers and granting incredible power to seemingly quite simple minded individuals incapable of wielding it responsibly. Shabriri dosen't want you to let Milena sacrifice herself not because he wants to spare her, but to have her to wander the burnt world alone forever. Because she knows the truth and still seeks to serve the two fingers. Shabriri just wants chaos to take the world so that all suffering finally can come to an end. But at the same time he knows that doing so will cause an incredible amount of suffering without any reward or happy ending, only horror and death. This is why the frenzied flame causes madness.

BURN ALL THAT DIVIDES AND DISTINGUISHES

“Don’t burn the innocent girl, how would people look at such a lord, just like burn her and everyone else later..”
Yes because people would love that. How about I burn you alone, you fork tongued manipulative prick.

Submit

Comet azur’ed this guy for saying “may chaos take over the world”…STILL manages to say it once more before he disappears. SMH.

Submit

I got the frenzied flame with only knowing of this guy through the grapes. Am I the baddie for not needing to be convinced to give the three-fingies a snuggle?

Submit

I smited this man with the queens black flame as soon as he said "May chaos take the world"

Submit

Steals the dead body of your friend. Tells you to go light yourself on fire. Starts screaming about destroying the world. Gets a charged R2 to the face. "This, I did not expect"

Submit

may chaos take da world
my final message. Goodb ye

Submit

The weapon listed in here is incorrect. Shabriri uses an uchigatana, not Nagakiba. He wields a seal in his right hand and the sword in his left.

Submit

He wasn't at the zamor ruins for me. There was something to pick up where he should have been but it says here the ronin set is what I picked up there. But that area is late game and I thought I'd gotten that iron kasa at curch of marika no.2 after killing Eleonora.

Submit

SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT WANNA KNOW THE ENDING

So with Lord of Frenzy ending do we get possessed? Someone said in a comment that once we blackout Shabiri takes over our body. He also said because we blackout as soon as we get near Marika it is a sign of Shabiri not wanting you to interact with it.

So what do you think? Did we get possessed by Shabiri at the end or not? Because I'm not quite sure myself.

Submit

Nihilism is so boring man, may chaos take a new opinion or at the very least stop talking to me

Submit

i can fix him

Submit

Kill as brutally as possible, as soon as possible. The Nomadic people didn't deserve what they got.

Submit

He never even slanders anybody

Submit

Love how this conversation is slightly normal until he just goes fully insane MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!

Submit

So he's the same Shabriri that had his eyes gouged out and went insane with hatred. Now he's a demon that stole my friend Yura's body and is trying to manipulate me into his scheme to end the world. While I do agree that the world is a complete shithole and full of random suffering, I still want to kill this bastard.

Submit

He's got me on board with the social policies but what's his vision for the economy?

Submit

this is wrong "He wields Yura’s Nagakiba" he wield a Ushigatana.

Submit

His VA is just amazing.

Submit

sorry shakira but you gotta go

Submit

This dude has one of the greatest monologues in the game when you talk to him. The voice actor hit all the feels…then I hit Shabriri with my twinblades and took his armor.

Submit

"You must have met with the Three Fingers at the Frenzied Flame Proscription to make him available."

Shabriri showed up after I went down to the FFP site of grace and talked to Hyetta but not the three fingers (didn't trigger the cutscene).

Submit

Fun fact! Shabiri is left handed, as seen when you clobber him.

Submit

The way Shabriri approaches you is actually pretty similar to how some real life cult leaders work. Note that Shabriri doesn’t pop up until you’re reaching near the end of your journey, not beforehand. By this point, you’ve lost many friends who either go insane or are assassinated, not to mention the world you’re seeking to become the lord of is basically dying. Then you find out that the one person who has been a constant in your journey, your “maiden,” is going to burn herself alive. At this point, the player would be at one of their lowest points in the story.

Then suddenly, a man shows up in familiar garb, accusing you of planning to sacrifice someone innocent for power. And while it’s a half-truth since the innocent person in question is willingly doing so, it still contains enough “truth” to sting. Then they tell you that, hey, you don’t have to burn her, there’s another way to become lord. And setting the world on fire, well technically the world is one big ball of death and backstabbing. He’s offering you another route, a way to have your cake and eat it too, a way to become lord that saves someone you care about while also becoming lord over a new kind of world. Or so he says, anyways, but much of what he said isn’t a lie. This isn’t too different from how cult leaders entice new followers: they find you at your lowest point in life, promise you great things in return for doing what they ask of you, and then suddenly you’re hooked.

What’s even more interesting, despite people complaining about how “burning the world means burning everyone too,” what people don’t realize is this message is almost more so directed at the player themselves rather than their Tarnished character. Burning the world doesn’t necessarily entail burning everyone living in it as well, it’s giving the player a way to “get even” with how the game treated them, constantly killing NPCs they cared about and expecting you to become lord of a dead world. In a sense, it’s giving the player a form of revenge for everything bad that happened to them throughout their journey, rejecting the world that has constantly let you down and starting a new one. Of course there’s no telling if Chaos will fully hold the reins from then on, rejecting the possibility of a new world whose Order is less oppressive and stagnant (or at least it’ll take some time before Order gets out of hand again), but would you be too worried of this and therefore let the world continue to stagnant and decay?

It’s a rather interesting perspective, I hope future DLC expands more on the nature of the three fingers and how Chaos truly sees itself.

Submit

The idea of chaos assuming the form of deceased characters is fascinating. Shame it wasn't explored in depth.

Submit

FUN FACT: if you don't wanna aggro him, lure a zamnor dude to hit him with ice until he dies

Submit

The howl of shabriri incantation states that he is the origin of the frenzy flame, but the nomadic clothing states that the merchants summoned the frenzy flame. Which one is it???

Submit

The whole burning the erdtree to the ground and "incinerating all that divides and distinguishes" sounds kinda interesting ig, but on the other hand that armor your wearing is alot more interesting, not to mention i kinda would rather go with the cool witch lady rather than the whole "watch the world burn" thing.

Submit

no one likes shabriri. everyone hates shabriri.

Submit

Wiki edit: above it says "You can also kill Shabriri for the set as soon as you meet him." I did this and I only got the weapon, not the set. I think this may need to be removed

Submit

Chosen Tarnished, and would-be Lord. Descend into the depths, far below the Erdtree Capital. Seek audience with the Three Fingers and the flame of frenzy. If you inherit the flame of frenzy, your flesh will serve as kindling and the girl can be spared ...setting you on the righteous path of lordship. The path of the Lord of Chaos. Burn the Erdtree to the ground, and incinerate all that divides and distinguishes.
Ahhh, may chaos take the world! May chaos take the world!

Absolute shivers from this guy, so epic.

Submit

fellow frenzy chad

Submit

He exchanged the Nagakiba (which you should have in your possession by now ) and uses a basic Uchigatana in his left hand for anyone wondering about cosplaying him instead of Yura.

Submit

shabriri: ahh may chaos take the world, MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD
me: uhh, you need to see a therapist.

Submit

Shabriri: "May Chaos take the world!"

Me: *Kills him with Flame of Frenzy*

I mean, he literally asked for it.

Submit

This fella’s voice acting goes hard. I can see why the frenzied flame didnt melt him away, he cold as hell

Submit

i dont think Shabriri uses Yura's Nagakiba especially because we pick it up from his body during his questline

Submit

When he says "Chosen Tarnished, and would-be Lord." He sounds a lot like Winnie The Pooh.

Submit

My mission is to kill chaos. That is all i know.

Submit

Killed this bastard immediately. Let my boy Yura rest in peace.

Submit

He is absolutely great. His VA did such a great job. When he just loses it and starts screaming "May Chaos take the world" it's so great! Well he is the most reviled man in the history, but atleast he is absolutely honest with what he wants, which is unlike most of the characters in From Soft games haha. And as the Corvinian friend from Ariandel (DS3) said:

"When the world rots, we set it afire.
For the sake of the next world.
It's the one thing we do right, unlike those fools on the outside."

Submit

You save Melina from burning but betray her trust and condemn her to hunting you down later on. One of you will inevitably end up dying.

Submit

Shabriri makes it about halfway into giving you a pretty compelling reason to use the Frenzied Flame before he starts ranting like a madman. You've got to close the deal before you mention the awful side-effects, buddy!

Submit

Accidentally googled 'shabiri' instead... learned something new...

Submit

Damn I thought this dude died when I picked up his armor set on the floor and used miquellas needle :( didn't know he'd help on Godfrey

Submit

If you leave Yura at his starting spot and reach the Mountaintops of the Giants, Shabriri will be waiting by the grace. Upon going back to Yura's spot, you'll find his Nagakiba without a corpse. I literally screamed because I forgot about him!

Submit

I've summoned him twice on Godfrey and he just stayed outside the fog door without entering the boss arena even once. Chaos got him in the end I guess...

Submit

Look shabriri, your ending looks cool i admit, but you know what looks cooler? Your armor

Submit

>appears in someone else’s body

Shabriri and the Dung Eater are the only good guys in this game. Very relatable characters.

Submit

"You must have met with the Three Fingers at the Frenzied Flame Proscription to make him available."

False. I encountered him around long before I even knew where to find Mohg in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. You must defeat the copy of Mohg before you can even reach the Three Fingers' location.

Submit

"You have to incinerate a girl to become elden lord. What a horrible thing to ponder. Instead, become lord of Frenzied Flame and incinerate literally everybody and everything. Much better!"

Not much of a sales pitch. But it is interesting to note that Melina, perhaps exclusively, survives the Frenzied Flame. I wonder if Shabriri knew that to be the case.

Submit

I speak hebrew and the word for fragile is pronounced "shavriri" but that's close enough ;)

Submit

Yura was already hearing voices in Liurnia. He knew this was coming

Submit

“MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!” ls elden rings version of “praise the sun [T]/“

No matter what ending u get it doesn't matter cos no such thing as a good ending in a fs game all endings are double edged swords

Submit

He's just like me fr fr

Submit

This voice actor, and whoever wrote his lines, all deserve awards for this interaction alone

Submit

May chaos take the world!!…. Along with the music that plays in the area as he says this was just very macabre. He just seems to be the epitome of evil. The combination of the voice actor and music did a great job of disturbing me.

Submit

Actually in Hebrew the correct pronunciation for fragile is "Shavriri"

Submit

I inherited the flame to look bad ass, and save Melina. Then I rid myself of it and did ranni's quest/ending :)

Submit

I really wish that if you did Ranni's quest all the way, you could talk to the Ranni doll after meeting Shabiri or the three fingers and ask for her help in killing the 3 fingers. She could direct you to the blade she used to kill her 2 fingers which after some quest you would make capable of killing the 3 fingers and removing that gods influence. They could even do a convoluted quest where by doing this you trick the flame to burn the erdtree without taking it on, thus saving Malina without dirtying yourself, possibly by sacrificing Hyetta instead which has nice symmetry and she's a psycho body snatcher too anyways.
