Summary
Elden Ringtasks the player with becoming the Elden Lord after fighting various bosses. However,Elden Ringalso has a variety of endings for the player to achieve, as once they become Elden Lord, the player is able to pave a new future for the residents of this world.
This is more than a simple choice for the player to make, as they must firstcomplete various tasksaround the open world ofElden Ring, which will then allow them to get a certain ending. These endings vary in difficulty, and therefore,every ending available inElden Ringisranked by how difficult it is to achieve.
6Age Of Fracture
The Standard Ending That Requires Only Completing The Game
Out of all the available endings inElden Ring, one of the easiest for players to achieve isthe standard endingof the game, known as the Age of Fracture. This ending requires no extra steps or exploration from the player, as they are simply tasked with completing the main objective ofElden Ring, by eventually defeating the Elden Beast and deciding to mend theElden Ring.
While this may not be the most adventurous ending forElden Ring, as a souls-like title created by the developers that made the likes ofDark Souls, this still isn’t an easy goal to achieve and, therefore, even being able to get the standard ending forElden Ringmay still be seen as quite difficult to get for some players.
5Age Of Order
An Ending Earned Through Simply Solving A Riddle
Age of Order is the second-easiest ending for players to achieve, as it requires the player to do little other than complete the Goldmask and Brother Corhyn’s questlines. Unlike many of the other endings inElden Ringwhich require players to defeat various optional bosses to earn new endings, these two NPCs only require the player to find them in various locations on the map and then solve a riddle.
The only difficulty to be found in this ending is that the player is required to have a high intelligence score of 37 and enough Runes to purchase the Law of Regression Incantationfrom Brother Corhyn. With this spell in hand, the player can solve the riddle and bring the answer back to the Goldmask. Players can then finally grab the Mending Rune of Perfect Order from the Goldmask’s body.
4Blessing Of Despair
Players Must Find A Lot Of Seedbed Curses
Getting the Blessing of Despair is only difficult due to how tedious it is to find all the Seedbed Curses needed to gain the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse. Firstly, the players are forced into the Sewers, which is deemed as being one of the hardest areas inElden Ringto explore. Once they have foundthe Dung Eaterin the sewers, they must then go fight him.
This isn’t the end of the player walking around the map ofElden Ring, as the player must then explore various optional areas of the map – some of which are difficult to navigate – to find the Seedbed Curses found within various bodies violated by the Dung Eater. Returning these curses to him at the Roundtable Hold will eventually reward the player with the Blessing of Despair, which allows the player to get one of the darker endings forElden Ring.
3Age Of The Duskborn
Players Must Fight A Horrific Dragon To Get This Ending
Out of all the available endings to earn at the end ofElden Ring, the Age of the Duskborn is by far one of the most difficult to get. Players must receive the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince if they hope to see an ending where the undead are no longer under persecution from those that are living in the Lands Between.
Fia the Deathbed Companion is the player’s ticket to this ending, as they must help hercomplete the entirety of her questlineto finally be rewarded with the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince. While many elements of this quest are quite straightforward, players must enter the Deathbed Dream to defeat one of the hardest bosses inElden Ring, Lichdragon Fortissax. Once defeated, players will have what they need for the ending.
2Lord Of The Frenzied Flame
Requires Patience, Parkour, And A Trip To The Sewers
The Lord ofthe Frenzied Flame endingis only seen as one of the most difficult endings for the player to earn due to how tedious it is to get to in the first place. Players must once again go into the Sewers inElden Ringto find the location of the Three Fingers. This requires the player to go deep into the sewers, break walls that are illusions, and complete some pretty intense parkour sections before they finally arrive at the Frenzied Flame.
Accepting the gift given by the Frenzied Flame will lock the player out of any other ending, no matter if they have taken the steps for the others. This can be reversed, but since this is the ending the player wants, they must simply finish the game as they would normally.
1Age Of The Stars
Incredibly Time-Consuming With A Lot Of Exploration
By far, the most difficult ending for a player to get inElden Ringis the Age of the Stars ending, which is earned through completing Ranni’s questline. The difficulty of this ending is once again earned through the tedious need to do a lot of exploration, as well as requiring the player to defeat a challenging optional boss known as Astel, Naturalborn of the Void.
Besides defeating this boss, as well as some other enemies, as mentioned, the player is also expected to explore some pretty hard areas of the game to locate various items andtalk to Ranni. Though this is all worth it, in the end, when the player finally becomes Ranni the Witch’s consort, they will rule the Lands Between together.
