Elden Ring: All Endings and How to Get Each One

Elden Ring all endings come down to one choice at the very end — but three of them require work you have to start long before you get there.

The default

Age of Fracture. Beat the final boss, touch the Elden Ring, mend it 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:

• Age of the Duskborn — from Fia's questline.
• Age of Order — from Goldmask and Brother Corhyn's questline.
• Blessing of Despair — from Dung Eater's questline.

Each rune is an item. Have it in your inventory at the end and the option appears.

The two that are not variants

• Lord of Frenzied Flame. Requires burning away your armour in the Cathedral of the Forsaken beneath Leyndell. It overrides everything else and is a genuinely different ending — and it can be undone later by Miquella's Needle if you change your mind.
• Age of the Stars. Ranni's questline, the longest in the game. Finish it and you get a separate choice at the end.

Seeing more than one

Endings are the last decision in the game, so a single save can bank a save file before the final boss and take a different option on reload. New Game Plus keeps your character, which is the usual route to the rest.
