ELDEN RING

This is the "bad ending" of the game. Once you make it to Altus Plateau and reach the Royal Capital of Leyndell, there is a well you can find in the city to enter the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. The NPC red phantom that probably has shown up in your Roundtable area by now will give you a key to open the lower parts of that area. At the end of the Shunning-Grounds, you'll fight Mohg, the Omen King (which also grants you the Mohg, the Omen achievement).

After the fight, hit the wall behind the chest in the room for a secret jumping puzzle area. Upon finally finishing the puzzle, you'll reach the Cathedral of the Forsaken and see a large ominous door that you can't open, unless you remove all of your armor. This room leads to the Three Fingers, who will brand you with the Frenzied Flame. Now just beat the game and at the end you'll be able to interact with the Elden Ring and become the Lord of Frenzied Flame.

NOTE: Being branded by the Three Fingers locks you out of selecting the Elden Lord or Age of the Stars ending. To make sure you're able to get all 3 endings on one playthrough through cloud save backup, beat the final boss and do the first two endings, THEN go get branded by the Three Fingers for this ending. There is a Site of Grace in the final boss room, so you're free to come and go before actually committing to an ending.

If you have already been branded on your playthrough and want to reverse it, you can follow Millicent's questline to receive Miquella's Needle, which you can use in Dragonlord Placidusax's boss arena to reverse the Frenzied Flame. Follow this guide for Millicent's sidequest here: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Millicent

How to get all three endings in one playthrough with the Cloud Save Ending Trick:

1. Beat final boss and activate Site of Grace in final room. Save and fully quit out of your game so that your cloud save is uploaded.
2. Load your save file and interact with the Blue Summon Sign for Ranni on the floor for Age of the Stars Ending (Look at the Age of the Stars solution for more info on this and a video).
3. As soon as the ending achievement pops, press Home-Button > scroll down to Elden Ring > press Options > Manage Game > Saved Data > click Gamertag > Delete Saved Data > Delete from Console > if it still shows the save, delete it again until it’s gone > press Home-Button and resume the game > it will now sync / download your save from cloud.
4. Load your save file and interact with the statue for Elden Lord Ending.
5. Repeat step 3 and download your save file again.
6. Head to Frenzied Flame Proscription, take off all your armor and interact with the door. The Three Fingers will grab you and brand you (Watch the HarryNinetyFour video below for more info).
7. Head to the Fractured Marika Site of Grace again
8. Interact with the statue once more for Lord of the Frenzied Flame Ending.

For those of you who are planning on running through the game again on NG+ and don't want to go through the hassle of cloud save shenanigans, it's easy to blast through the game again in under 2 hours even without practicing. This is what I did:

1. Start up NG+. Beeline straight for Margit, stopping at the Gatefront grace along the way to reactivate leveling.
2. Proceed through Stormveil and kill Godrick. I chose the main gate route; you just run in, dodge all the ballistae, and head up the steps to your right when you reach the ogre. Eventually this leads right to the boss gate with a grace nearby.
3. Exit out the back of the castle via the throne room and make the long ride to the island just west of Raya Lucaria on your map where you'll find the Glintstone Key being guarded by the dragon. Head into Raya Lucaria via Acadamy Gate Town.
4. Rush through Raya Lucaria, grabbing at least the Schoolroom grace and fighting the Red Wolf boss and eventually Renalla.
5. Warp back to the Schoolroom grace, head up the hill to the giant waterwheel elevator, and get "eaten" to death by the Iron Virgin at the bottom to teleport to volcano manor (use a Sacrificial Twig if you want).
6. Take the nearby cave past the bats, work your way down, and kill the double Iron Virgins at the end. This grants you access to Altus Plateau.
7. Make your way past the outer wall of Leyndell via the main road. Once inside, head NE (past the minor erdtree on your map) and fight the Draconic Tree Sentinel for access to Leyndell.
8. Make your way to the main street in Leyndell and grab the Avenue Balcony grace. Head down the nearby stairs, up the giant dragon, past another grace and a black blade kindred, up the roots, and fight Godfrey and Morgott.
9. Check the thorn wall, teleport back to the Avenue Balcony grace, and head NE up the main road. Take the lift up to the Forbidden Lands and work your way around to the Fire Giant.
10. Farum Azula is fairly straightforward. The biggest shortcut I can think of is where you can drop down twice from the Dragon Temple grace which brings you to the Godskin Duo fight a bit faster. Kill them and then Maliketh.
11. This step is only applicable to the Frenzied Flame ending: In the middle of Leyndell is a huge open sewer that will still lead to the Subterranean Shunning Grounds (can do this earlier too, but accessing the sewers is slightly different prior to the Farum Azula events). Make your way through the confusing sewers and eventually to the Cathedral of the Forsaken, Mohg, the god-awful jumping puzzle in the secret area behind him, and then to the frenzied flame chamber (after removing your armor).
12. Back in Leyndell, head back up to the boss rooms to fight the chain of bosses.

If you are having trouble with the final boss like I was, you can respec provided you have a Larval Tear. I ended up using the following:

- VIG: 60
- FTH: 80
- Use the rest of your levels for FP and stamina
- Erdtree Seal +10
- Cool looking armor or armor that has Holy resist but make sure you have a light load for dodge rolls

- Talismans:

• Pearldrake Talisman +2
• Erdtree's Favor +2
• Flock's Canvas Talisman
• Dragon Crest Greatshield Talisman

If you are confident in your dodging, you may want to replace one of the talismans with one that shortens spell casting time.

- Spells:

• Catch Flame
• Pest Threads
• Golden Vow
• Lord's Divine Protection

Summon your strongest summon (I love Black Knife Tiche +10, easily was outperforming my Mimic +10) and then use Catch Flame to melt and Pest Threads to melt The support spells I mentioned help immensely also.
