Elden Ring Ending Guide: How to Get, Requirements, Storyline and More! 

FromSoftware is known to create multiple endings for their games, and Elden Ring is no exception. Players will face different conclusions depending on their actions in-game. Every ending will drastically change the state of the world and the protagonist in various ways.  

Elden Ring has six different endings in which the player will have to decide which character they team up with by completing their quests before defeating the Elden Beast.  

However, the game doesn’t give any prior information or hints on how they can achieve different endings in this game. It means players usually have to figure out how to get them without any clues.  

Therefore, in this article, I’ll go through the steps you need to make to achieve every possible ending in Elden Ring.  

1. How to get the Age of Fracture ending in Elden Ring? 

Players need to take down at least two demi-gods, kill Morgott, the Fire Giant to burn the thorns blocking the path, defeat Malekith in Farum Azul, and finish off the Elden Beast in Leyndell to get the Age of Fracture ending in Elden Ring.  

Age of Fracture is the standard ending that Melina has been trying to achieve since the start of the journey. After killing the Elden Ring, players need to walk over and touch Marika to get the ending.  

I. What happens when you touch Marika in Elden Ring?  

Players trigger the Age of Fracture ending by touching Marika after killing the final boss in Elden Ring. Touching her will mend the ring and cause the tarnished to become the Elden Lord with the approval of the Greater Will.  

Fans consider the Age of Fracture as the traditional conclusion to the game, as players don’t have to complete any side quest to obtain this ending.  

2. How to get the Age of Stars ending in Elden Ring? 

The protagonist needs to complete Ranni’s quest and use her summon sign in the arena after beating the Elden Beast to trigger the Age of Stars Ending in Elden Ring.  

Ranni’s quest is one of the most elaborate and lengthy questline and takes some time to prepare. In this ending, you help the witch Ranni by helping her fulfill her vision.  

I. What happens when you summon Ranni after defeating the final boss? 

The protagonist will become Ranni’s eternal escort and help her replace Marika if they summon the witch after defeating the final boss. Additionally, it’ll begin the Age of Stars, a thousand-year voyage guided by the moon’s wisdom.  

Ranni brings in a new era governed by the moon, destroying the Golden Order and its rule over the Lands Between. She’ll ascend to godhood, and the moon will replace the Erdtree. 

3. How to get the Age of Duskborn ending in Elden Ring? 

Players need to complete Fia’s questline to obtain the Mending Rune of the Death Prince and use it on Fractured Marika after defeating the Elden Beast to get the Age of Duskborn ending in Elden Ring.  

In this ending, the protagonist teams up with Fia, who wants to get rid of the curse of immortality. Players will meet in quests like The DeathBed Companion and the Hunter of the Dead.  

I. What happens when you use Mending Rune of the Death Prince on Marika? 

Players will remove the curse of immortality in the Lands Between by using the Mending Rune of the Death Prince on Marika. It means that everyone in the Lands Between will become mortal.  

Queen Marika removed the death rune from the Lands Between before the game began, due to which the curse of immortality spread everywhere. But now, the actions of the Tarnished have caused everyone to face the inevitability of death eventually.  

4. How to get the Age of Order Ending in Elden Ring? 

Players need to get the Mending Rune of Perfect Order and use it on Fractured Marika after taking down the final boss to get the Age of Order ending in Elden Ring.  

Players need to complete the Goldmask and Brother Corhyn’s questline to get the Mending Rune of Perfect Order. As a result, they have to meet Brother Corhyn in several places along their journey. On a bright note, this questline is easy to complete, as the Gold mask and Corhyn follow the same path as you throughout the game.  

I. What happens when you use the Mending Rune of Perfect Order on Marika? 

You will repair the Elden Ring by using the Mending rune of Perfect Order on Marika in Elden Ring. In other words, everything in Erdtree will be as it was before chaos took place in the Lands Between.  

However, all the gods you killed throughout your journey will not appear again, and you’ll become the Elden Lord ruling over the Lands Between. It’s a good ending and one of the easier ones to get in Elden Ring.  

5. How to get the Blessing of Despair ending in Elden Ring?  

Players need to get the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse from the Dung Eater questline and use it on Fractured Marika to get the Blessing of Despair ending in Elden Ring. 

In the quest, the main objective is to give Dung Eater five Seedbeed Curse items to get the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse. The protagonist must meet Dung Eater at the Roundtable Hold to begin this quest.  

I. What happens when you use Mending Rune of the Fell Curse on Marika? 

If the protagonist uses the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse on Marika in Elden Ring, everyone born in the new age will be afflicted by the Seedbed Curse. On death, their souls will be trapped in eternal torment and won’t return to Erdtree for reincarnation.  

The Blessing of Despair is a bad ending in Elden Ring, as Dung Eater’s vision comes to reality. The narrator of the conclusion also shows disgust in his voice while explaining it, a rare happening in Elden Ring.  

6. How to get the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending in Elden Ring?  

Players need to get the Seal of Frenzied Flame branded by the Three Fingers in the Subterranean Shunning Ground doors and defeat the final boss to get the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending in Elden Ring.  

Also, players need to take off all their clothes and interact with the Frenzied Flame Door to get inside it. Once players get branded by the Three Fingers, it’s inevitable to avoid the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending until you get rid of it by using the Miquella Needle.
