How to Get the Elden Lord Ending

Mend the Elden Ring

Elden Lord Ending
The Elden Lord ending is achieved by Mending the Elden Ring at Fractured Marika. The variation of the Elden Lord ending depends on which Rune you decide to use for the mending.

The Elden Lord ending can easily be achieved so long as you haven't met with the Three Fingers, as this will trigger the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending. There is a way to exit the Lord of Frenzied Flame route, but it requires finishing Millicent's questline and defeating Malenia, Blade of Miquella in order to obtain Miquella's Needle.

Ranni
The Elden Lord ending can still be seen even after completing Ranni's questline. Just make sure you interact with Fractured Marika. Achieving the Age of the Stars ending requires you to summon Ranni after defeating the final boss.

Age of Duskborn

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.
