If you want to take a look at every ending Elden Ring contains–or simply snag all of the trophies or achievements without having to play through the game multiple times, you can use a bit of trickery with your save game data to ensure you only need one full playthrough to see it all through. Yes, we’re talking about save-scumming, which will let you get through the experience with much less effort. The spot you’ll need to save scum at is at the very end of the game, and you’ll want to make sure you’ve completed the majority of steps to see all of the endings prior to doing this. Here’s what you need to do to save scum your way to every ending.
Elden Ring: The Shadow of the Erdtree, the game’s first and only expansion, is out now, and we have dozens of guides to aid you in what many are calling the game’s most challenging section. Use our Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree guides hub to find things like the full world map, the best weapons in Shadow of the Erdtree,how to defeat all of the bosses, and so much more.
Advance every ending as far as possible
One of the important things to do is make sure you have progressed every single ending as far as possible, without achieving any of the endings or locking yourself out of any of them. The majority of the endings you can do every step short of completing the game without issue, but the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending has a soft point of no return so you need to make sure you don’t advance that one too far. You can read our Elden Ring all endings guide for the nitty gritty details, but below I am going to list the final step you should take for each ending, prior to finishing the game.

Complete Fia’s questline and acquire the Rune of the Death-Prince.
Elden Lord, Age of Despair

Lord of the Frenzied Flame
Get to the Frenzied Flame Proscription Site of Grace just outside the Frenzied Flame door. Do not enter the door.You can reverse this ending if you do enter the door, but you are adding a bunch of unnecessary work for yourself.
When to save scum in Elden Ring
The best place to save scum is directly at the end of the game. After beating the final boss of the game, you will be placed near Marika and a Site of Grace. Since there is a Site of Grace here, you can leave and come back before picking an ending. You will want to set up the save they are reverting to, at this Site of Grace. If you are doing this to get all of the achievements, you will only need to see one Elden Lord ending, the Age of Stars ending, and the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending.
From here, walk up to Marika and you will be presented with the choice to pick between all of the different Mending Runes you have collected. Pick whichever ending you want, reload, and pick the other ones. The Age of the Stars ending can be triggered by the blue summon sign on the ground, which will bring in Ranni the Witch. Once again reload.
The last one is the Lord of the Frenzied Flame. Do this one last in case your save scumming doesn’t revert the branding. That will let you avoid the possibility of getting locked out of the other endings. From the final area, fast travel to the Frenzied Flame Proscription Site of Grace, remove all of your armor, and walk through the door. After being branded by the Three Fingers, travel back to the final area and interact with Marika. You will likely be able to return to your save, but again, do this ending last just in case, otherwise you will have to do another side quest to remove the branding.
