How to unlock the Elden Lord achievement in ELDEN RING - Definitive Guide

This is the "neutral ending" of the game. There are no extra requirements to this ending besides beating the final boss and interacting with the statue in the Fractured Marika Site of Grace and selecting "Mend the Elden Ring".

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 restart 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 (Look at the Lord of Frenzied Flame solution for more info on this and a video).
7. Head to the Fractured Marika Site of Grace again
8. Interact with the statue once more for Lord of the Frenzied Flame Ending.

With this method the last achievement "Obtained all achievements" will not be unlocked, right?

As beating the final boss is a requirement to getting the endings, I thought it was worth mentioning that you can cheese half the boss fight, as you soon as the fight begins run and stand to the left of the boss before he finishes his initial animation. This freezes the boss and you are free to attack. Might take a couple of tries to get it right, but as of now it still works.

Can you clarify Step 3 please? You said "restart the game" toward the end of step 3 but didn't specify when to quit out. Do you quit out of the game after hitting the home button by clicking on Elden Ring and Quit, AND THEN delete the save file until it's gone? Or do you delete the save file, quit, and relaunch?

By NighthawkJoV on 13 Mar 2022 04:36
Deleting your save forces quits the game, don’t manually quit out. When I say click the home button again, you should just be able to click on Elden Ring and it’ll relaunch. Just follow the steps exactly and you shouldn’t have any issue

If you do Millicent's sidequest you can get Miquella's Needle from beating Malenia, which lets you calm the Frenzied flame after going through with it. That should let you do Age of Stars as your last ending.

Xbox Solution - After beating the final boss quit and save after the grace. Load a diff character and play to force the cloud save on Xbox as it made me replay a good bit the final boss the 1st time I just saved and quit at the final grace, 2nd time I traveled leveled up once, played a diff character then reloaded and it saved me properly where I was after I went to play with a diff character.

If it's not working you're doing it wrong couse I just did it three times without fail. And you don't need to "access" the cloud just go to saved data after you go to manage games and ad ons. He literally step by step told you how to do this I don't understand why is how people are having issues with this.

I happened to earn 4 endings in my playthrough, so out of curiosity I chose the Mark of Death ending before the default Elden Lord ending, and the game gave me this achievement anyway.

So I guess any ending that doesn't give you the Age of Stars or Frenzied Flame achievement will give you this instead.

By Darkunov on 20 Mar 2022 22:11
Pablopictures, I can confirm that you do unlock the Elden Lord achievement with the saved data method described. It’s not a game-side thing in this case, though it is worth being wary of that, some games like Slay the Spire do count it through the game. In this case, it’s just the achievements, not an in-game thing.

And yes, any endings that involve touching the statue count as this specific achievement, I went for the Mark of Death one too.

After being branded by the three fingers, you can no longer complete any other ending in that playthrough. You have to finish it with that ending.

By xXNosJetXx on 23 Mar 2022 10:13
Not true. You can cleanse the frenzied flame with the needle of miquella. To acquire it, you must complete millicent's questline, side with her at the end and eventually reclaim the unalloyed gold needle. You then must defeat Malenia (ugh). Reload the area, and obtain the needle from the scarlet flower. You can find a more detailed walkthrough on the elden ring wiki.

Not the easiest workaround, but better than having to do a whole other playthrough if you accidentally branded yourself before knowing that there was no going back.

Just a word of warning for anyone doing this. Unlike other games when it syncs data automatically at the start, you need to get through the opening logos before it syncs.
I did not have a good 10 seconds there thinking I had deleted my save from cloud and xbox

Thanks, worked well!

PS: Boss only once for me. What I did, after boss, rest at grace, pass time 2x. Exit via game menu and save, so return to the main menu of the game. Then I quite the game and closed it via Xbox button on the dashboard. Launch the game, Countinue, pick one ending (Age, Elden Ring, Flame for me..), when achievement popped, deleted the save from console as mentioned in the solution. At this point he game closed itself. Launch the game and countinue, and pick an other ending...

Playing on a Series X and this worked like a charm for me!

I had undergone the Frenzied Flame Proscription after Melina completed her task and was quite worried I messed up my chances of getting the three ending achievements on one playthrough. Alas, it all worked out in the end.

I will also add that I had my phone beside me, which oftentimes (and in this case) seems to announce unlocked achievements a second or two before the console itself.

This actually caused my game to bug out. The final waypoint disappeared and It won’t let me go through the boss door to fight the final boss again. This effectively locks me out of any other endings without doing a NG plus

The last achievement is not unlocked by the console, it is the game that does it, right? If you replace the save there is no record that you have seen the other endings even if you have the achievements, therefore the last one would not be unlocked.

Can someone who has used this method confirm this?

By Papictu on 20 Mar 2022 20:10
Did not work for me. Killed it immediately after the achievement popped. Which it did at the very end of the cinematic.

Following the guide I deleted the savefile locally, reopened the game, synched the save from the cloud and the credits started rolling again. Tried to deletes the save file again, and this time the game booted me into the Roundtable Hold not allowing me to enter the mist into the Erdtree anymore. And the grace inside that I activated is not on the minimap anymore My only option being to begin Journey 2.

Perhaps the game has now been updated to make this obsoelete? Or I'm just unlucky and future players may be unlucky as well.

Maybe it depends on the console in question? Mine is a Series X. Can anyone also confirm at which point in the cinematic for the ending the achievement popped?

I got deeply worried when right at the closing seconds of the Renna ending cinematic the game showed the saving icon in the top right corner of the screen, and the achievement for the Renna ending popped basically at the last frame of the ending cinematic. And the method definitely did NOT work. Understanding why not might be helpful to future players, since now I have to all this legit, suffering through NG+ and NG++ almost certainly as well.

By Kriostyx on 26 May 2022 20:32
I started the method right as the credits started rolling and got them fine. Also just used the same method for Citizen Sleeper's multiple ending achievements. This isn't a trick that a developer can patch out of a game, it's a Xbox system level trick. It will always be here unless Xbox does something about it on the next system to prevent it, which I highly doubt they'd bother with.

Sorry that it didn't work out for you though, I can't say for certain what went wrong in your scenario. You're far from the only one that has mentioned it in the comments, from just doing the steps incorrectly to times where the cloud save didn't trigger properly.

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. 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.

GUIDE BY: Alex Sobecki on XBOX
https://www.trueachievements.com/a354483/elden-lord-achievem...
Just to posting here to have quick access to the guide for Steam users as well.

This is the "neutral ending" of the game. There are no extra requirements to this ending besides beating the final boss and interacting with the statue in the Fractured Marika Site of Grace and selecting "Mend the Elden Ring".

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 restart 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 (Look at the Lord of Frenzied Flame solution for more info on this and a video).
7. Head to the Fractured Marika Site of Grace again
8. Interact with the statue once more for Lord of the Frenzied Flame Ending.

The default ending for the game, after defeating the final boss, interact with the crumbling statue for this ending.

To get this ending, you just need to complete the game in the standard way, without making special conditions for the other endings.

On the last boss in the first phase, Blasphemous Blade (Blasphemous Blade) decides, and the key to the second is point-blank spamming of Nebula, skill Wing of Astel (Astel's Wing): Nebula simply drives him into a constant stagger, not allowing him to do anything, including to get away from you, which is the most stressful thing in this battle.
(Of course, the blades must be pumped up to at least +9)

An ice hatchet will also help against the beast, firstly it takes a little away, secondly there is a high chance that the boss will go into eternal stunlock, in the second playthrough he killed it that way.

If you are not playing as a mage, then frost grease helps a lot in the battle with the final boss. Combined with a false tear, you can surprise the boss with cold damage

All 4 normal endings for the trophy (6 endings in total), can be chosen after interacting with the defeated final boss:
1 - Age of change, no special requirements. Select "Repair Elden's Ring"
2 - Age of Twilight, complete Fiya's quest. Select "Use Prince of Death's Healing Rune"
3 - Blessing of Despair, complete the Dung Eater quest. Select "Use Fallen Curse Rune".
4 - A Century of Order, complete Priest Korin's quest. Select “Use Restorative Rune of Perfect Order.”

If someone cannot kill the final boss (Elden's Beast) , help the ashes of the Black Knife of Tychea [+10] + prayer Healing the Tree of Erd = he will do everything himself, just do not forget to heal him. In principle, you can help him, just be careful.
