Madding Hand

A glove stitched together from the flayed skin of the victims of a butcherous bloodbath. Afflicts target with madness. Raises attack power when madness is triggered in the vicinity.
Forged of an unyielding, black impulse toward revenge fostered in those who were hunted down as heretics by their own brethren, these are the weapons of the utterly downtrodden.

The Madding Hand weapon can be found at the following location:

• South of Woodland TrailGrace site of grace in the Abyssal WoodsRegion. Drop by the Madding Hand enemy. [See Shadow of the Erdtree Map]

• Weapon Skill: Madding Spear-Hand Strike

• This weapon cannot be infused with Ashes of War

• Can't be buffed by Magic or Consumables

• Madding Hand can be upgraded by using Somber Smithing Stones

• As a passive bonus, it increases damage by +7.5% (5% in PvP) for 30 seconds after you or an enemy suffer from Madness. This affects spells too.

  • The passive gets applied even if the player does not meet the stat requirements for the Madding Hand.

• Stacks with other Madness-proc activated buffs such as Black Dumpling and Aged One's Exultation.

• Damage boost doesn't work if Madness is triggered on NPCs or players with Inescapable Frenzy due to the animation rendering you invincible, which interferes with how exultation effects are coded to trigger.

• This weapon shares its R2s with the Star Fist.

• Strength and Dexterity both increase the physical and fire damage at the same time. Leveling Intelligence and/or Faith will only raise the fire damage.

• NOTE: Patch 1.13: (PvP Exclusive) Increased poise damage of dual wield attacks of all Fists.
