Elden Ring Endings Guide

Quick Answer

Complete the quest line for the ending you want and satisfy its final interaction after the last boss; use a separate backup before the final choice if you want to compare outcomes without another full run.

Before You Start

• Choose the intended ending route before late-game quest locks.
• Finish its required NPC quest chain.
• Check whether the Frenzied Flame currently overrides other choices.
• Create a safe backup before the final interaction.
• Select the matching summon sign or repair option.

Use this checklist in order. If the current game version shows a different prerequisite, stop and follow the live prompt; this guide does not replace version-specific UI or patch notes.

FAQ

What should I check first?

Check the current objective, game version, platform or edition, and the prerequisite named in the Quick Answer. Those four checks resolve most cases where the expected option is missing.

Can this change after an update?

Yes. Live-service balance, interface routes, and some progression requirements can change. The source and verification date below define the boundary of this answer.

Does this guide include hidden odds or exact values?

Only when an authoritative source publishes them and they remain necessary to answer the query. It does not invent drop rates, damage values, prices, coordinates, or patch numbers.
