Ending explained

Every ending, what changes it and what it means.

~4 min read

The ending begins once the Tarnished reaches the Elden Ring after the final confrontation. The decisive question is not simply who wins, but which order is allowed to follow the Shattering.

What it means

The base game's endings present different answers to a broken world: restoration, reform, departure from the existing system, or radical transformation. None makes the history disappear; each chooses which part of that history becomes the foundation for what comes next.
