There are 4 main endings and two variations, making it 6 endings to achieve in total. The main endings have slight differences based on what you choose to do or not but these do not impact your character drastically.
- Elden Lord: Age of Fracture – The default ending in Elden Ring, will only occur after defeating the Elden Beast and if you choose to mend the Ring, making you the new Elden Lord.
- Elden Lord: Age of Duskborn – After completing Fia’s questline and defeating her Champions and handing over the Cursemark of Death, you will be led to Lichdragon Fortissax. After defeating it, get the Rune of the Death-Prince and use it at the Fractured Marika. This will engulf the Lands Between in an eternal fog.
- Elden Lord: Blessing of Despair – Complete Dung Eater’s questline, which involves talking to Rya and Blackguard. You should have the Seabed Curse on you while interacting with it at the Roundtable Hold. You will gain access to the Subterranean Shunning Grounds at Lyndell. You can do this questline even after Lyndell turns to ash. You will have to collect 5 Seabed Curses and give it to the Dung Eater before killing it. After defeating it, you will get the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse, which can be used at Marika to get this ending. This will engulf the Lands Between in a curse.
- Elden Lord: Age of Order – complete Goldmask’s and Brother Corhyn’s questline before burning down the Erdtree. You will have to complete and defeat the final boss in Crumbling Farum Azula for Goldmask to die and Lyndell to turn into ash. You will get the Rune of Perfect Order on Goldmask’s body, which you can use at Marika. This will turn you into the Elden Lord and order in the Lands Between will be restored.
Below are the two “special endings” in Elden Ring
- Lord of Frenzied Flame – Find the Three Fingers at the Subterranean Shunning Grounds and receive its mark of Frenzied Flame. You can also reverse the effects of the curse if you wish to not follow this path, but you can only do it before receiving the Frenzied Flame Seal from Hyetta. Once you get the seal and continue down the point of defeating the Elden Beast and reaching Marika, you can choose to become the Elden Lord of Frenzied Flame.
- Age of the Stars – Follow Ranni’s questline till the point where you can defeat Astel the NaturalBorn of the Void, and also have the Dark Moon Ring in your possession. Hand over the Ring to Ranni and complete the game as usual, but instead of heading over to the Elden Throne after defeating the Elden Beast, use the blue summoning sign found in the area to summon Ranni. She will then liberate the Lands Between from being under the influence of the Greater Will, and head off to a 1000 year voyage with the Tarnished.
