Elden Ring has three major endings, one of which has four variants, resulting ina total of six endings. Whether you’re looking to burn the world down or overturn the Outer Gods, this is the guide for you.
Elden Lord Endings
Elden Ring has four endings that all fall under theElden Lord achievement, and the only real difference between them is the visuals and name. All of these endings are achieved by finishing the game and having the player character mend the Elden Ring back to its former self or change it with a Mending Rune.
When your character interacts with the Elden Ring at the end of the game, you will be given the option to mend the Elden Ring with any Mending Runes you have in your inventory, so simply pick whichever corresponds to the ending that you want.
Age Of The Stars Ending
The Age of the Stars ending is one of the unique endings of Elden Ring with an achievement of the same name, and it is considered by most players to bethe closest to a good endingin the game. Like many of the Elden Lord endings, the Age of the Stars ending is heavily tied to a quest line that sets you on the path towards the end. Specifically, this ending is tied tothe Ranni questline.
Once the players finish the Ranni questline and come to the end of the game, rather than mending the Elden Ring,a blue summons sign will appear on the ground for you to summon Ranniand have her complete her quest to overturn the Greater Will with your help as her “Fair consort eternal.”

Lord Of Frenzied Flame Ending
The final unique ending, Lord of Frenzied Flame, is perhaps themost obscure endingto achieve as it isn’t tied directly to any questline like the others are. However, it isn’t actually that hard to get once you know how.
While Lord of Frenzied Flame isn’t dedicated to any specific questline or NPC,the Hyetta questlinedoes offer further insight into the Frenzied Flame.
The Lord of Frenzied Flame only requires the player to take one specific action which can be done any time from reaching theLeyndell, Royal Capital. Find your way into theSubterranean Shunning Groundsand then to theCathedral of the Forsaken.
After defeatingMohg, The Omen, rest at any site of grace and return to the Cathedral. Walk to the far end of it andstrike orroll into the wall behind the chestto reveal a new path.
The area has you walk across wooden planks crossing a deep pit. There are a few enemies that blend in well with the numerous motionless bodies around, so stay cautious. You’ll eventually come to a dead end with no more wooden planks. From here, look down into the pit and find a wall with coffins jutting out of the side. You have to carefully jump or fall onto these coffins to reach the bottom, where you’ll find theFrenzied Flame Proscription Site of Grace.
Not far from the Site of Grace is a large door that appears charred and cannot be interacted with (yet).Remove all of your equipment,and the door will allow you to interact with it.
A cutscene will play out with the player being gripped by the Three Fingers and burned by the flame. After this, the player character will have three finger marks burned into their skin and demonic eyes of fire, a physical sign that they now bear the Frenzied Flame.From here, the player is locked into the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending, which can only be reversed through the use ofMiquella’s Needle.
You now only have to reach the end of the game and interact with the Elden Ring to destroy it and burn the world to the ground.
If the player does this processbefore Melina’s sacrifice at the Mountaintop of the Giants. They get to experienceunique Melina dialoguebefore and after interacting with the Three Fingers and also get a different cutscene of the player burning the Erdtree themselves as well as a unique cutscene of Melina at the end of the game.
