FromSoftware’s mammoth role-playing recreation Elden Ring options six totally different endings, all with their very own proportions of esotericism. The Age of Fracture ending, for instance, actually solely requires you to beat the sport, whereas different endings just like the Age of Duskborn or Blessing of Despair want you to comply with a sequence of obscure steps to get a rune that unlocks them. Not one of the six endings, nonetheless, are fairly as nebulous and complex because the Age of Stars ending, which PC Gamer seen that, bizarrely, extra Steam gamers have unlocked than the usual ending.
The Age of Stars ending, to place it evenly, is concerned. It needs you to completely show your dedication to the petite winter witch Ranni, and rewards you with one in every of her 4 palms in holy matrimony. You additionally get the choice to finish the sport along with her by your aspect, which is what earns the “secret” Age of Stars achievement.
However, hey, you understand girls—it’s a must to navigate a number of treacherous bogs, (together with Siofra River Nicely), defeat the crazed Starscourge Radahn at Wailing Dunes, discover and speak to the fitting folks (like Blaidd the Half-Wolf), and comply with all their directions in the fitting order, to get there. That’s like after I needed to verify my League of Legends boyfriend didn’t have a 4chan account earlier than committing to him.
It’s a lot simpler to derail Ranni’s questline than keep on it, too. I sadly (although, in my protection, by accident) kicked my League boyfriend off Ranni’s path after he had already accomplished its necessities by triggering the blazing Age of Chaos ending out of curiosity, encouraging him to open the mysterious door regardless that, in hindsight, it appears evil. I’m sorry! You recognize girls!
As punishment, I additionally kicked myself off the trail by losing interest with it proper earlier than reaching the tip. I didn’t have the guts to defeat quest-mandatory boss Astel, Naturalborn of the Void, who might seem like an eldritch mosquito, however it’s not their fault.

Ranni’s fickleness doesn’t appear to be a deterrent for many Elden Ring gamers, at the least not those that performed on Steam.
“25.9% of gamers have The Age of the Stars achievement, which is the ending unlocked by Ranni’s questline, whereas 19.6% have the Elden Lord achievement,” the default ending achievement, PC Gamer writes. “Clearly there are some caveats right here in addition to the very fact that is simply Steam gamers, the primary one being that some gamers could have been via the sport twice and achieved each.”
In line with TrueAchievements, which tracks Xbox and PC achievements, barely extra folks reached the sport’s default ending than Age of Stars. However its Steam stats nonetheless really feel notable, and maybe a sign that I would like to sit down in a vat of macerated blueberries till my pores and skin takes on Ranni’s ethereal blue. Violet Beauregarde, however make it RPG.
