Elden Ring: All Endings and How to Get Each One

Elden Ring all endings: there are six. Four are variations of becoming Elden Lord, decided after the final boss by which Mending Rune you use. The other two, Lord of Frenzied Flame and Age of the Stars, need a questline you have to start many hours earlier. Here is what each one requires and how to see more than one without replaying the whole game.

All six endings at a glance

Ending	Requirement	When it is decided
Age of Fracture	None; the default	After the Elden Beast, at Fractured Marika
Age of the Duskborn	Fia's questline, Mending Rune of the Death-Prince	After the Elden Beast
Age of Order	Goldmask and Brother Corhyn's questline, Mending Rune of Perfect Order	After the Elden Beast
Blessing of Despair	Dung Eater's questline, Mending Rune of the Fell Curse	After the Elden Beast
Lord of Frenzied Flame	Inherit the Frenzied Flame from the Three Fingers	When you accept the flame
Age of the Stars	Ranni's questline	After the Elden Beast, by summoning Ranni

Shadow of the Erdtree does not add a new ending.

The default: Age of Fracture

Beat the final boss, walk up to Fractured Marika and choose to mend the Elden Ring as it is. No questline, no preparation. If you did nothing special, this is what you get.

The Mending Rune endings

Three variants replace the default if you carry the matching Mending Rune when you mend the Ring. Each rune comes from the end of an NPC questline:

• Age of the Duskborn. Complete Fia's questline, which runs through the Roundtable Hold and ends deep underground. It rewards the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince.
• Age of Order. Complete the questline of Goldmask and Brother Corhyn, which ends with the Mending Rune of Perfect Order.
• Blessing of Despair. Complete Dung Eater's questline, which involves collecting and giving him Seedbed Curses, for the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse.

Have the rune in your inventory at the end and the option appears when you interact with Fractured Marika.

Lord of Frenzied Flame

This ending comes from the Three Fingers, hidden beneath Leyndell in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. To reach them you pass through a door that only opens when you have removed all your armour, then accept the Frenzied Flame.

• It overrides every other ending. Once you inherit the flame, you are locked into it.
• It can be undone. Use Miquella's Needle at the arena of Dragonlord Placidusax in Crumbling Farum Azula to quell the flame and reopen the other endings.
• Do it before Leyndell burns. The route to the Three Fingers is through the capital, so it must be done before the story turns Leyndell into the Ashen Capital.

Age of the Stars

Ranni's questline, the longest in the game. It starts at Ranni's Rise in Liurnia and takes you through several regions, including Nokron and the Lake of Rot. Finish it, and after the final boss you can summon Ranni at Fractured Marika instead of mending the Ring yourself.

It is incompatible with the Frenzied Flame, unless you have quelled the flame with Miquella's Needle.

How to get several endings on one save

Every ending except Frenzied Flame is chosen after the Elden Beast. That means one playthrough can reach several of them:

1. Before the final fight, back up your save. On PC, copy the save file; on PlayStation or Xbox, use a cloud or USB backup.
2. Beat the Elden Beast and choose one ending.
3. Restore the backup and choose a different one.

Carrying all three Mending Runes and finishing Ranni's questline on the same character lets you pick any of the five non-Frenzied endings this way. New Game Plus is the other route: your character carries over and you play again.

Endings and trophies

You only need three ending trophies:

• Elden Lord, shared by Age of Fracture, Age of the Duskborn, Age of Order and Blessing of Despair.
• Age of the Stars.
• Lord of Frenzied Flame.

The usual route is Age of the Stars and one Elden Lord ending on one save, then Frenzied Flame on a separate one or in New Game Plus.

Quests you can fail

• Ranni's questline has steps that are easy to miss, and killing certain NPCs can end it.
• Fia, Goldmask and Dung Eater all need their quests completed before the final area.
• Frenzied Flame has to happen before Leyndell burns.

If you are planning a specific ending, check its questline before you reach Leyndell. For how much time all this adds, see how long to beat Elden Ring.
