Elden Ring - All 6 known Endings

If you obtain the frenzied flame before burning the Erdtree, Melina will appear in a cutscene after the ending: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpiToqhugqtre9U

If you use the needle to remove frenzy at the secret dragon boss from Melinia? its give the 7th ending?

Persownage If you didn’t sacrifice Melina, it just gives a variation of the frenzy flame with extra dialogue(and a very interesting reveal).

[@cheekibreeki20253]

I don't really care for the lore or anything to do with it. but I'm confused wich one of these is supposed to be the good ending?

[@imbangmaynn5705]

@@cheekibreeki20253 ok so as i and many interpret it, Ranni's ending is technically the most philanthropic one since it cleanses the world of any higher being influence and gives them the right to freedom and choice. The age of blessed curse is the most evil one since you're basically cursing people and torturing them because of what you've done The age of order is the most "peaceful" one since the justice system is now more absolute, so imagine a court that can reveal any lie and pass guilty to only the truly guilty. The frenzied flame is the destroyer ending since you basically become a sun god that brings chaos and destruction to all life.

If u obtain frenzy flame and didn't cure yourself you cant summon ranni at the ending anymore?

Technically at the end he is freed from the chains, but decides to stay anyways at the throne.

[@knavenformed9436]

Well basically you do free him after killing Elden Beast. Though what happens next might depend on ending: -If you restore Marika his curse may be reapplied even if he succeeded since the whole point was Marika's own want to free herself -Lord of Frenzied flame kills him most likely, he will burn away with the roundttable as Marika won't be there to hold it together. -Age of Starts might be the best ending for Hewgh, you'll fulfill both his and Marika's goals and will have the autonomy to set him free.

[@james_tiberius_kirk73]

It's literally the best ending. I chose it because Ranni is the first major NPC you meet.

[@thecommentguy9380]

Quick breakdown on the endings: Age of Stars: Ranni succeeds Marika as an Empyrean, completely dismantling the Golden Order as she becomes the heart of her new Order, and with the Tarnished who have brought all she envisioned to reality, leaving the world to govern itself as they travel to the stars on the path into the unknown, shrouded by uncertainties, fear, and doubt. The Lands Between for the first time will not be ruled by the outer gods, but by its own inhabitants Age of Frenzy: Convinced by the word of the 3 fingers, the Tarnished would become the vessel for the all-consuming Frenzied Flame, burning everything in the world until all becomes one. There would be no great restart as many believe, for there will NOTHING left to restart. Blessings of Despair: With the reviled curse born from the tormented flesh of the Dung Eater, the Lands Between will be forever more cursed by what the mad tarnished call blessing. The curse that damns their souls and all of their children for all eternity. Perhaps now the Golden Order will know what it's like to be the Omens they so loathed, shunned, hunted and killed. (to put it bluntly, this ending is a giant middle finger to the Golden Order) Age of Order: Some would say Goldmask is a mad man and a heretic for his audacity to say the Golden Order is flawed, yet the labor of his work has brought the Order to heights unseen since the Golden Age before the Shattering, maybe even greater. Yet what was the flaw that held back the Golden Order? Goldmask has found it in the fickle nature of the gods themselves, and now with their meddling removed we will see a new Golden Age. But who's to say we are not as fickle as the gods? And who's to say the cruelty and discriminations once displayed by the Golden order will not disappear in this new age? Age of Duskborn: Some would believe we would bring Death back into the Lands Between and restore a natural order, they are mistaken. Death was once held by the Black Blade of Marika, Maliketh. And upon his defeat, the Rune of Death was unbound, shrouding the Lands Between in Death's dark fate as Enia put it. The Age of Duskborn, is life AFTER death becoming one with the natural order of the Lands Between. No more will the Golden Order hunt down those they once called abominations, and those who have died may be reborn once more as Those who live in Death with Godwyn now reborn as their lord Age of Fracture: Congratulations, you did fuck-all to repair the Lands. Did you honestly think just fixing the Elden Ring is going to solve everyone's problem?

[@logeyperogi1805]

Simple Terms Age of Stars: Fate is no more, mortals decide for themselves what comes next Lord of Frenzied Flame: The world burns, and nothing will rise from the ashes Age of Despair: Everyone will know the curse, and thus if everyone is cursed, no one is cursed Age of Order: Goldmask identified the root of the Golden Order’s failures, and decided, similar to Ranni, if we are to be ruled by flawed and fickle beings, at least let us be ruled by beings that accept their flaws and fickle behaviours Age of Duskborn: Life after death, it is not a sin, nor straying from the natural order, for it has become the natural order Age of Fracture: Nothing really changed, the only difference now is a new person sits on the throne

Ranni definitely the most interesting of the endings. Mainly for the implications behind it. She’s literally shattering and rebuilding the laws of the world. It’s like waking up tomorrow and learning you can now cast magic and water slowly turns into ice if left outside of the fridge too long. Everything we know is being rewritten.

[@bluntlyhonest6803]

How will we know it will be for the better? Ranni has shown multiple times she is willing to go to extreme meassures to get what she wants, what if she and her Consort end up as Tyrants or make the world a chaotic mess? It is by far the Ending that leaves the most questions, questions that wont be answered. In any case It is a great questline, but too many people miss the plotpoint that Ranni is Evil and what she is doing is Tyranical. Like, she is doing a 'Thanos', Erasing everything to make something new the way she wants it. We cant even know if it will solve anything or make it worse.

[@pokemon202668]

​@@bluntlyhonest6803 thats why its so interesting, sure we could just fix "death" and get the grey ending, but ranni straight up rewriting the world order.

There’s a faint promise that out of the darkness a new flame will come but you have no way of knowing that for sure. So you submit to the end, embrace the utter darkness, and cling to hope rather than hang on bitterly to a last little flicker of tortured life because you're terrified that once it dies all will be gone forever...

It makes sense that the 4 endings, age of fracture, age of order, age of duskborn and the age of curse are all very similar. In all of them you're mending the Eldenring and bringing about a new age based on what rune was used to mend the Eldenring, nothing changes in these endings because nothing will change, the greater will is still in control and the cycle will continue with a new age brought about eventually. That doesn't mean that it isn't extremely disappointing that the world doesn't change colour to reflect your ending afterwards however, the constant fire particles are annoying.

Endings likely explained: Age of Stars: Best ending. You help Ranni become a full Godess replacing Marika and she uses her power to free the world from the shackles of the fingers and their overlords wich used souls to feed the Erdtree. Now the souls are all free and return to the stars where they belong and turn into ascendent beings. You become Rannis husband/wife and join her as the Elden Lord/Consort Eternal under a new order under wich all the fingers die. It is unclear wether the people that are still alive also ascendent past the mortal world or if they are allowed to live their lives to end as humans but since everyone we have seen was suffering its probably for the better if they do. Age of Frenzied Flame: Worst ending. Everybody dies and the world burns. Blessing of Despair: Second worst ending. You unleash a zombie apocalypse plague over the world but you live to rule it. Altho it appears to be worse then frenzied flame, the curse spreads upon direct contanct, wich means that someone who would be able to avoid it, like spiritual beings, could possibly find a way to make things right again at some point, as slim as the chances may be. Age of Golden Order: Neutral/bad Ending. You fix what caused the shattering by removing the free will from the gods/demigods by adding the rune of perfect order as replacement for the rune of death to the elden ring. The golden order is restored and the fingers and the greater will have absolute control over the world forever with you as the elden lord under brainwashed Marikas rule. Age of Duskborn: Neutral/good ending. You add back the rune of death into the elden ring wich ends the age of the gods/demigods and the undead by removing their immortality. The world is now ruled by mortals, for now. Age of Fracture: Default neutral/bad ending. You restore the elden ring to how it was before Marika shattered it but the rune of death is still missing, wich revives Marika as the ruler again. You become Eldenlord, wich under the golden order means that you serve her as her husband. While you restore the golden order you didnt fix what lead to its shattering wich means its only a matter of time before history repeats itself. The fingers are putting in all their efforts in preventing this from happening and slowly gain control again.

The frustrating thing about the endings is they really show how few characters we make any kind of serious story connection with, and how even fewer make it to the end of the game. By the end of it I was far more invested in people like Hewg and how he stayed with us at the roundtable until he could barely do his blacksmithing, but he wanted to smith a sword that could kill a god, and he’s just not mentioned at all in any part of the ending. Or the complexity of the situation with Roderika and how she cares for Hewg and wants to honor his dedication to us but seems to harbour more than a little resentment to us for putting Hewg in this situation. Melina is just gone and never mentioned again despite being the person who really put us on this journey to begin with. And everyone who we picked up along the way is just dead and never mentioned in the ending. The final boss fights are not with people who have a rich history of losing or struggling against, but 3 people who we’ve never really interacted with at all. The final cut scenes themselves really only tell us what happens in the immediate moments after we make our choice and don’t really show how our choice impacts the world and if characters view it positively or negatively. The game just kinda… ends. It’s a really good game, with a super interesting lore, certain mid-game boss fights feel far more rewarding and lore interesting than the actual ending. It’s just kinda sad. Easily can put in over 100 hours exploring the world and when you’re ready to wrap it up you just kinda get a cakewalk boss fight and a cutscene that doesn’t expand much of the story.

[@RifterDask]

In the end, Elden Ring seems to have been an inversion of the story and concepts in Dark Souls. The 'best' endings of both DS3 and Elden Ring have you bringing merciful death to the world. However, while the world of Dark Souls was in a state of slow entropic decay, the world of Elden Ring is held in a state of perpetual order after the shattering. Without your intervention, true death will never reach anyone and the broken world will persist eternally in a calm, unchanging misery. Ranni's ending casts out the gods and their order, allowing death to bring change and, in time, perhaps allowing mortals to once again chart their own course. If you're wondering how this compares to Fia's ending, I believe hers is simply a darker state of order wherein the dead of bygone eras emerge to rule eternal. The dead and death itself were forced into the shadows by the arrival of the outer gods and their order, so now they call the shots and the fate of the living is called into question. The Lord of Chaos ending is comparatively simple: If you aren't stopped, all that divides and distinguishes will be burned away until there is only fire and chaos everlasting. If the issue of eternal order is a nail, this ending is a sledgehammer that atomizes the nail and sets the atoms on fire.

[@cabrakan4114]

Peruano ser como 🇵🇪

[@KissyKaede]

If y'all remember correctly, Hoarah Loux (Godfrey), Goldmask, Fia, Dung Eater, and Gideon were all mentioned in the opening cutscene. Three of these people give you mending runes to get different endings. Where is Gideon's ending? And why doesn't Nepheli give you a mending rune for her ending, seeing as she is the last living descendent of Godfrey.

[@petrow1tch196]

I see this as their world philosophy not being strong enough. Fish, Eater and Goldmask all had their very strong views on how the world should be, and they dedicated their lives committing to making their vision real. That's what IMO takes to produce a mending rune. Ranni herself too has a strong philosophy and intention of reshaping the world, but in her ending you are being a side character to her, so she mends the Elden Ring. In age of fracture your player character applies non other than his own world view and intention into mending the Ring. So for other characters - eh. Gideon is given up after learning the truth, that's what his armor says after you receive it after, well, fighting him, where he says that "no one can repair the Ring and kill a god". Not even him. So, his philosophy and will is weak. Nepheli already came from the lineage of Elden Lord, but she's more descendant of Hoarah Loux than Godfrey, meaning she's more exiled tarnished than contender to the lineage (unlike Godrick) and she's... Ok with that? She happily takes crown of stormveil from Kenneth, and says that she will turn the winds in right way, meaning she's ok with being a queen of stormveil, and that's it. The only other characters that IMO are capable of having a mending rune, od even mending Elden Ring themselves is Rykard, Morgott and Miquella. Rykard because of all blasphemy staff, devour the gods, yadda yadda. Guy is committed towards changing the definition of what's right and what's wrong, and very much wants to end golden order. Morgott has the dedication and will towards making things right, but the Tree rejected him, just as everyone. He is not going to burn it because he dedicated his whole life towards it; loves it without it loving him back. So he has no means to claim the Elden throne. Also he's an omen, which is against the golden order. Which he loves. So, yeah. And Miquella is the most powerful Empyrean, they have the ability to become Elden lord just by heritage, AND everyone and their mom loves Miquella. But, they're fucked up by Mogh, and before that they fucked up their relationship with order because GO couldn't help Malenia, so Miquella said "ok fuck you then"

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

Gideon says before fighting him that none (either you or him) will take the throne, and that no man can kill a god. His research most likely led him to believe the mission was simply impossible, which is why he gives up and tries to stop you.

@T.A No the fracture ending is different to the other Elden Lord endings. They all see you become Elden Lord, but the world is changed depending on the ending chosen. Fractured is the status quo, everything is as it is but you now rule. Duskborn imparts a new version of death into the world, life within death and clouds the world in fog. You rule a world where the concept of death is forever changed. Order sees the world return to what it was before Marika shattered the Elden Ring. This ending is the closest to the Fractured ending. Despair covers the world in the Dung Eater's curse, everyone suffers horribly under your new terrible rule. These endings have clear differences and while they all see you sit on the throne, the world you rule is going to be radically different depending on your choice.

[@NATIK001]

@T.A You are wrong. There are 4 Elden Lord endings. The Fracture ending is only 1 Elden Lord ending and the others are different with different outcomes, names, text and cinematics. You and not "they" (whoever "they" are) is the one considering 4 endings as the same despite them patently not being the same.

All the snakes in the 1st game, all the hollows in the 3rd game. But to find out all my hard work in this game just for a 20 second copy paste, color swapped scenes for all Elden lords.

I thankfully got Ranni's ending... it just seemed the most peaceful and cathartic ending. I mean... i really hoped she was being "poetic" when talking about that path of fear, loneliness and darkness... but I loved it.

[@TheSpinkels]

I saw somewhere that her dialogue is actually a mistranslation from the original Japanese version. What is actually implied to happen is that you and Ranni leave the world to take the Golden Order far out of the reach of anyone, leaving those you leave behind to start again and be free without the gods interfering. Fear, doubt, and loneliness I guess refers to them having to do things on their own without anyone to guide them, but also not control them.

Ranni's ending is the only ending which acknowledges that there is no going back-arguably the Age of Order ending manages *to* go back, and fix what happened, but we can't be certain it succeeded and the capital is still Ash even in it. Instead, Ranni sees a terrifying, awe inspiring, perilous, and lonely journey into the future-and is willing to meet it with you. It's the truest ending, because we can never fix the past. We can only go forward, into the perilous unknown. (and which does not simply destroy the world in some way or another instead of dealing with the problem)

[@arda7881]

[@GodActio]

The Armored Core world line ending

[@MrCharles7994]

@@arda7881 The TL:DR version: You choose to side with Ranni, who is empowered by a different force than the rest of the Gods/Demigods, destroying that force and allowing the world to finally progress past it's roots. To explain in depth.... Basically, there are these outer Gods which gain power from the stars-the Greater Will and the Dark Moon are the important ones here. These outer Gods empower Demigods as "Empyreans" to act as their instruments, working via the "two fingers", alien beings that commune their will. Most Empyreans and Fingers are associated with the Greater Will, which is the dominant power in this world, but the Frenzied Flame and Goddess of Rot also exists in the background, irrelevant to this ending. Basically: the Dark Moon is a force that is different from the Greater Will. The Greater will represents order, and dominates the world through the Erdtree and its Vassal, Marika. They did this through the Elden Ring-the order of the world, minus the Rune of Death, which was entrusted to Marika's brother. The Dark Moon, as much as we know, represents a journey into the unknown and terrifying future, but one which *can* be completed. Marika was the God of the Greater will, an Empyrean who was raised to true Godhood at the Erdtree. She represents the order of the world. Her husband, the Elden Lord, is the master of the age, and to be Elden Lord is to be husband to Marika. Her children by various lords are the demigods. There are three lineages. The first is the lineage of Godfrey, who was Marika's first husband. He was a mighty warrior who fell out of favor due to defeating all his foes. Morgott, Mohg, and Godric the Grafted are all part of this lineage-the traditional descent, so to speak, is this one. The greatest of these was Godwyn, who is dead at the time of the game. Godfrey is eventually "tarnished", sent away to conquer other lands, because he's no longer needed. You are a tarnished like Godfrey-a naturally immortal warrior. The second was Radagon Via Rennala. Rennala was a legendary sorceress and master of Moon magic, and her academy was conquered peacefully by the vassals of the Greater Will when she married Radagon. Her children are Rykard, Radahn, and Ranni. We care most about Ranni. The third was Radagon and Marika; Radagon married Marika, and proceeded to become Elden Lord. His previous children were "adopted" into demigodhood. These include Miquella and Malenia, whom are cursed, but could have been the greatest of the lineages. Now, this seems straightforward, however there are cracks here. First off, Rennala was abandoned by Radagon and went a wee bit mad, hence why she's making "sweetlings" and trying to rebirth her children. Ranni hated this, and this is where her motivation to tear down the shackles of fate comes from. Second, Marika and Radagon *are the same fucking person* . I.E. Radagon is an alter ego of Marika, split from the original, to go wander the world as a man. Literally, Marika split her masculine half off to get laid because she didn't like her role in the order. Hence why Rennala's children are actually Demigods-and why the children of Radagon and Marika are all cursed but have been particularly holy, *both* their parents are *the same God* . So Ranni, learning that there are alternative forces to the Greater Will such as the Dark Moon, steals the cursemark of death from Marika's brother with Marika's help, and kills both her body and Godwyn's soul. Marika, because, during, and leading up to this, has given the fuck up on everything. Her children are cursed, evil, messed up and killing each other, so who can blame her. Also, she abandoned her lovely moon wife to fuck herself out of duty. *She* shatters the elden ring, and boom, bang, the world breaks. Radagon, her husband alter-ego, decides to keep the Elden ring intact. Yes, they are still the same person, think of it as a cry for help suicide attempt-it's irrational by design. This fucks up death, the world, and everyone. Undead are common, death doesen't quite work, and everyone loses their shit. The remaining demigods try to reunite the elden ring, but the effect of Malenia and Radahn fighting unleashes scarlet rot, and definitively ends any possibility of the demigods succeeding. Radahn in his madness locks away the stars, taking Ranni out of the fight and screwing her plans. Miquella, the last, best hope, is kidnapped and raped by his incestuous uncle Mohg before he can fix his sister. The world. Is. Fucked. Enter the tarnished. You're someone who is supposed to be immortal, one of Godfrey's ilk who was meant to be a warrior to go and conquer the world. You eventually find Ranni, who gives you your horse. You locate the body her puppet is possessing, and defeat Radahn. You give her a blade imbued with death, letting her kill the two fingers which was supposed to control a Shepard her. You defeat Blaidd, her consort who was there to kill her if she stepped out of line, and you marry Ranni. You are rejected by the Erdtree, but force your way in anyway. Finally, you defeat Marika and the Elden God at the heart of the Erdtree and stand posed to become Elden Lord, but you devote the victory to Ranni instead. She banishes her Father/Mother, and destroys the Erdtree completely. Souls now, instead of going to the Erdtree to be reborn, and sheparded into the vast unknown of the Moonlight, a new order different and unknown, terrifying and cold...But with a wife who cares for you, as her consort, to meet this future with you.

Interesting. But who are we punishing? The victims? The Outher Gods are the ones to blame. I believe that life in Lands Between deserves second chance.

Well from what ive read that would make sense.
