Midra is probably one of the best bosses FromSoftware has ever come up with, so it almost makes sense that he would be hidden and likely missed by many Elden Ring players. With this guide, you won’t be one of those who missed him, so here’s how to find and defeat Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame.

Like any other boss, Midra can be defeated with or without summons. The boss is incredibly fun in both respects and is a rare opportunity for a fair fight in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. I personally used a Mimic to get through the boss faster, but he's perfectly doable without one since his attack patterns are easy to learn and the few AoE attacks he has aren't too hard to dodge. Plus, fighting him without a Mimic lets you enjoy the best OST in the game for a longer period of time, so that's reason enough to do it.

Mira, Lord of Frenzied Flame is located in The Abyss. To reach this area, you must use the Stone Coffin to descend to the lower Scadu Altus, then follow the waterfalls to the Darklight Catacombs. After defeating the boss, you will gain access to the area that hides unique enemies that turn Elden Ring into a true horror game. If you navigate to the right, you should find Midra's Library, a dungeon in itself that houses the boss.

This boss has a huge health pool—and even that’s an understatement. During a normal New Game run, the Lord of Frenzied Flame has 48,000 HP, putting him above Bayle. There’s a catch, though: he’s weak to Bleed and similar effects, allowing players to take huge chunks out of his health bar with relative ease. Another way to overcome his enormous HP is to get as many Scadutree and Revered Spirit Ash Blessings as possible, because running low on both will make this a truly tough fight.
