Elden Ring Endings Guide: How to Unlock All 6 Endings
Elden Ring offers six distinct endings, each reflecting different philosophical choices. Three are variations of the "Elden Lord" ending, two are special questline endings, and one is the secret ending of total destruction.
Ending 1: Age of Fracture — Default
Defeat Radagon and the Elden Beast, touch Marika's broken body. No special requirements. You become Elden Lord, but the fundamentally broken system remains.
