You will get the Elden Lord ending, or the "normal ending", without making specific actions or routes in the game, as long as you beat the final boss. However, the Age of the Stars and Lord of Frenzied Flame endings require additional steps not included in the main story to be obtained.

The Elden Lord ending branches further and plays differently depending on the Mending Rune that you use after beating the final boss. You will still get the Elden Lord trophy/achievement regardless of which of the four variations you wish to see.
The Lord of Frenzied Flame ending doesn't actually have variations, and the same scene will play regardless of when you inherit the Frenzied Flame.
If you got the Frenzied Flame before the events at the Forge of the Giants however, you will prevent Melina from sacrificing herself and an extra scene will play after the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending.
The first branch of the Elden Lord ending, the Age of Fracture, is the actual normal ending. You can unlock this by defeating the final boss and choosing the "Mend the Elden Ring" option, which is available without completing any special tasks or specific questlines.
How to Get the Elden Lord Ending
The second variation of the Elden Lord ending, the Age of Duskborn, is obtained by completing Fia's questline, which rewards you with the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince at the end. Use this Mending Rune after defeating the final boss, instead of the normal "Mend the Elden Ring" option, to see the Age of Duskborn.
The Blessing of Despair is another branch of the Elden Lord ending, and can only be obtained by completing the Dung Eater's questline. Give the Dung Eater five Seedbed Curses to receive the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse and use it after beating the final boss to see the Blessing of Despair ending.
Dung Eater Questline and Location
The Age of Order branch of the Elden Lord ending is obtained by completing Corhyn's questline. Complete the questline to receive the Mending Rune of Perfect Order and use it after beating the final boss to see the Age of Order.
The Age of the Stars is the second major ending of Elden Ring, and is unlocked by completing Ranni's questline. After completing her questline, defeat the final boss as normal and you will see a blue summon sign on the floor. Interact with the sign to summon Ranni and see the Age of the Stars.
How to Get the Age of the Stars Ending
The Lord of Frenzied Flame ending is unlocked by finding the Three Fingers at the Frenzied Flame Proscription in Leyndell. After inheriting the Frenzied Flame, defeat the final boss as normal and choose to become the Lord of Frenzied Flame.
Take note that inheriting the Frenzied Flame will lock you out of other endings, even if you completed their prerequisite questlines, so we recommend getting this ending last!
