There are no boundaries to the level of detail Hidetaka Miyazaki loves to include in his creations, and the recentShadow of the Erdtreeexpansion forElden Ringis no exception to this rule.One of the weirdest phenomena during the playthrough in the Realm of Shadow is not being able to ride your torrent in the Abyssal Woods, which was confusing at first, but as players dug deeper, they found the answer in plain sight.
Torrent in the Abyssal Woods – How Hidetaka Miyazaki Thought of Everything in Elden Ring
Given by Melina as soon as the player reaches their third site of grace, Torrent is a spirit steed that stays by the Tarnished’s side on his journey to become the Elden Lord. However, in a surprising turn of events, the steed refuses to come out in the Abyssal Woods, owing to the frenzied mania that goes on in the area.

Diving deeper, players have found the exact reason why the steed is so afraid to come out. As stated in the Surging Frenzy Flame’s item description, frenzy does not only have a maddening effect on creatures but can also get rid of spirits permanently, having a melting effect on them.

Reacting to the information, other users showed their astonishment at the item description, stating how ‘it all makes sense’ now, and once again proving whyHidetaka Miyazakiis a brilliant architect of level design and hiding details in it.
I was worried that they damaged Torrent’s bravery by being a little bit scared of some spooky woods, but this makes it all make sense.Poor Torrent, don’t be scared, buddy. You can wait at the edge.
