The Elden Throne — Elden Ring Walkthrough

The Elden Throne represents the culmination of your arduous journey as a Tarnished in Elden Ring. It is the final destination where you will confront the ultimate challenges and determine the fate of the Lands Between. This is where your accumulated strength, knowledge, and resolve will be put to the ultimate test.

Access to the Elden Throne is typically gained after completing the Mountaintops of the Giants and navigating the treacherous Crumbling Farum Azula. The path to the Throne is not straightforward and involves overcoming some of the most difficult bosses in the game.

The final sequence of events generally involves:

  1. Mountaintops of the Giants: After defeating Morgott, the Omen King, you gain access to the Mountaintops of the Giants. This harsh, frozen region is filled with powerful enemies and leads to the path towards Crumbling Farum Azula.
  2. Crumbling Farum Azula: This is a late-game legacy dungeon that appears as floating ruins. It's a challenging area with unique enemies and environmental hazards. The primary objective here is to defeat Maliketh, the Black Blade, a pivotal figure in the Shattering and a formidable boss.
  3. Leyndell, Ashen Capital: Following Maliketh's defeat, the Erdtree will burn, and Leyndell, Royal Capital, will transform into Leyndell, Ashen Capital. This altered version of the city presents new challenges and pathways.
  4. The Elden Throne: Within Leyndell, Ashen Capital, you will find the Elden Throne. Here, you will face the final boss(es) of Elden Ring. The specific boss encounter depends on the choices you have made throughout the game and which factions you have allied with.

The final boss encounter is a multi-stage battle that tests all aspects of your build and combat proficiency. It is designed to be the ultimate challenge, requiring mastery of dodging, parrying (if applicable), and strategic use of your abilities and items.

Potential Final Bosses:

  • Radagon of the Golden Order: A powerful warrior who serves as the first phase of the final boss encounter.
  • Elden Beast: The second and final phase of the boss encounter, a cosmic entity of immense power.

Depending on your choices and questline completions, other endings and final boss variations might be possible, such as those involving the Frenzied Flame or Ranni's questline. However, the core path to the Elden Throne leads to the confrontation with Radagon and the Elden Beast.

Tips for the Final Encounter:

  • Max out your Vigor: Ensure you have at least 50-60 Vigor to survive the devastating attacks.
  • Upgrade your weapon fully: A +10 Somber or +25 regular weapon is essential.
  • Use appropriate Spirit Ashes: The Mimic Tear or Black Knife Tiche are excellent choices.
  • Learn attack patterns: Both Radagon and the Elden Beast have distinct, albeit challenging, attack patterns. Patience and observation are key.
  • Holy Damage Resistance: The Elden Beast deals significant Holy damage, so consider talismans or consumables that boost this resistance.

Reaching the Elden Throne is a testament to your perseverance. The choices you make in these final moments will shape the future of the Lands Between, leading to one of Elden Ring's many possible endings.
