Elden Ring offers a rich variety of conclusions to your Tarnished’s journey, each tied to the choices you’ve made and the quests you’ve completed in the Lands Between. While some players enjoy replaying the game to experience every ending, others may prefer to Elden Ring Items see them all in a single run. This guide will walk you through every currently known ending and explain how to “save scum” effectively so you can collect all ending-related trophies or achievements without starting over multiple times.
Spoiler Warning: This guide discusses late-game content and final story outcomes. Proceed only if you’re ready for spoilers.
How to Save Scum in Elden Ring
Save scumming lets you create a backup of your game after defeating the final boss, then reload that backup to choose a different ending. The process varies depending on your platform.
Step 1 – Defeat the Elden Beast
After you’ve beaten the Elden Beast, allow the cutscene to play until you regain control near Fractured Marika. At this point, pause and quit to the main menu—this creates a save right before you select an ending.
Platform-specific setup:
PS4: Go to Settings → Application Saved Data Management → Saved Data in System Storage, then copy your Elden Ring save to a USB drive. Keep this file safe and do not overwrite it until you’ve gotten all endings.
PS5: You’ll need a PlayStation Plus subscription. Go to Settings → Saved Data and Game/App Settings → Saved Data (PS5), then choose Upload to Cloud Storage. Do not replace this upload until you’re finished.
Xbox: Simply quit to the main menu, then close the game from the Xbox dashboard. Your cloud save will sync automatically. Restart your console to verify the save is backed up—your position should be exactly where you left off. From here on, avoid using the quit command after unlocking an achievement to prevent overwriting the backup.
Ending 1 – Elden Lord (Age of Fracture)
This is the default ending where you repair the Elden Ring and take the throne. After defeating the final boss, choose any “Mend the Elden Ring” option.
PS4/PS5: After the cutscene and trophy unlock, reload your USB or cloud save to return to the choice point.
Xbox: Once the achievement pops, return to the dashboard, delete your local save (keep the cloud save intact), and relaunch the game.
Ending 2 – Age of Stars (Ranni’s Ending)
Requires completing Ranni the Witch’s full questline before the final boss. Her blue summoning sign will appear in the arena—interacting with it triggers the Age of Stars ending.
Questline highlights:
Complete Caria Manor to unlock the Three Sisters area.
Meet Ranni at Ranni’s Rise and join her service.
Work with Blaidd, Seluvis, and War Counselor Iji to progress her plot.
Defeat Starscourge Radahn to open Nokron.
Retrieve the Finger Slayer Blade and deliver it to Ranni.
Progress through Nokstella, defeat the Baleful Shadow, and reach the Lake of Rot.
Defeat Astel and access the Cathedral of Manus Celes.
Give Ranni the Dark Moon Ring.
Save scumming: Restore your backed-up save after the Elden Lord ending, then interact with Ranni’s sign to see this alternate conclusion.
Ending 3 – Lord of the Frenzied Flame
Tied to meeting the Three Fingers in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. Once you inherit the Frenzied Flame, you’re locked into this ending unless you later cleanse it.
Steps:
Defeat Mohg, the Omen, in the Shunning-Grounds.
Reveal the hidden path behind the altar.
Descend to the Frenzied Flame Proscription Site of Grace.
Remove all armor and open the door to the Three Fingers.
After the final boss, you automatically trigger this ending.
Save scumming tip: Restore your post-boss save before inheriting the flame, or cleanse yourself afterward if you want to unlock other endings.
Ending 4 – Age of Order (Goldmask’s Ending)
Requires completing Brother Corhyn and Goldmask’s joint quest.
Highlights:
Find Goldmask on the broken bridge in Altus Plateau.
Progress their story to Leyndell, then obtain the Golden Order Principia.
Learn and use the Law of Regression spell to uncover lore about Radagon.
Meet them again in the Mountaintops of the Giants.
Retrieve the Mending Rune of Perfect Order from Goldmask’s body in Ashen Leyndell.
Use this rune after the final boss to achieve the Age of Order ending.
Ending 5 – Age of Duskborn (Fia’s Ending)
Involves completing both Fia’s and parts of Ranni’s questlines.
Steps:
Acquire the Cursemark of Death from inverted Carian Hall.
Deliver it to Fia in Deeproot Depths after defeating her champions.
Enter the Deathbed Dream and defeat Lichdragon Fortissax.
Obtain the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince from Fia’s body.
Choosing this rune at the end sees your Tarnished preside over a world shrouded in death’s embrace.
Ending 6 – Blessing of Despair (Dung Eater’s Ending)
Linked to the Dung Eater NPC and his Seedbed Curse quest.
Steps:
Progress the main story until you can access his locked room in Roundtable Hold.
Give him one Seedbed Curse to get the Sewer-Gaol Key.
Find his body in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds.
Defeat him in the Outer Moat, then gather five Seedbed Curses from various locations.
Hand over all five to receive the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse.
Use it after the final boss to spread a vile curse across the Lands Between.
Final Notes on Save Scumming
By properly managing your save backups, you can see all six endings without starting from scratch:
Create a backup after defeating the Elden Beast but before choosing an ending.
Trigger one ending, collect its achievement/trophy, then restore your backup.
Repeat for each remaining ending.
On PlayStation, your tools are USB saves (PS4) or cloud saves (PS5). On Xbox, your cloud save sync is automatic—just be careful to delete the local save after each ending without quitting the game normally.
With patience and careful file management, you’ll walk away from a single playthrough with every Elden Ring ending and the satisfaction of Elden Ring Runes a complete achievement list.
