Can I Get All Elden Ring Endings in One Playthrough?
In the world of Elden Ring, the journey to reach the final boss is just the beginning. After defeating the final boss, you’ll be presented with a choice that will determine the fate of the Lands Between. But can you get all the endings in one playthrough? The answer is yes, and in this article, we’ll guide you through the process.
Unlocking Endings
According to Dexerto, four of the endings are just variants of the standard Elden Lord ending, while two are much more radical and unique. The good news is that you can unlock all the endings in one playthrough, and most can be selected once you’ve beaten the final boss.
Selecting Endings
The best place to save scum is directly at the end of the game. After beating the final boss, you’ll be placed near Marika and a Site of Grace. Since there is a Site of Grace here, you can leave and come back before picking an ending. This allows you to experiment with different choices and see the different outcomes.
Endings and Branching Points
Elden Ring has six endings, and each one is dependent on the choices you make throughout the game. The game has several branching points that will determine which ending you’ll get. However, it’s not possible to reach 100% completion due to the branching points near the end of the game. But you can certainly get close.
Maxing Out Stats
An Elden Ring player managed to max out all eight stats in the game to level 99. This is possible by fully customizing your build according to your playstyle.
Ranni and Melina
Ranni is a demigod born from Rennala and Radagon, and she is still able to become an Empyrean. Melina is Ranni’s sister, and their mother is Queen Marika. Melina’s body was burned, leaving her bodiless and a roaming spirit with no memory of her purpose given to her by her mother.
The True Villain
Elden Ring has several characters with gray moral codes, but the true villain might just be the Tarnished. As the player character, you have the power to shape the world and its fate.
Resurrecting Godwyn
Fia’s questline requires you to collect the pieces of the Hallowbrand to allow Fia to lay with Godwyn and resurrect him. The spawn birthed from Fia and the Prince of Death is the very rune that can be used on the Elden Ring at the end of the game: the Rune of the Death-Prince.
Ranni’s Sacrifice
Ranni plotted for the assassins to kill another individual while she simultaneously killed herself, slaying her own body while the other person died in spirit, thus freeing herself from her destiny.
Endings in Order
Here is a list of the endings in the order they appear:
- Lord of Frenzied Flame
- Blessing of Despair
- Age of Stars
- The Lands Between
- The Shattering
- The Return
Conclusion
Getting all Elden Ring endings in one playthrough is possible, but it requires careful planning and experimentation. By understanding the branching points and choices that affect the endings, you can unlock all six endings and experience the full story of Elden Ring.
