  • Welcome o thou Tarnished! Finally, Elden Ring arrived and I couldn't be more thrilled about it. The game is huuuuge, but you can just follow the trophies and you can get the platinum in some decent timely manner. I will be doing a lot here, but I need some time to cover everything, so please be patient.

    There is a game progression route that takes you on this journey in more depths than this overview, so check it out:

    Elden Ring - Game Progression Route

    Step 1 - Finish Tutorial and prepare for Stormveil Castle. Defeat Margit and Godrick bosses there. Explore Limgrave region

    You start in Limgrave. Thera are 3 maps to be found, which reveal West, South and East region of Limgrave. To find them, simply revel the fog on your map (touchpad swipe to enter the map view) and travel towards the lighthouse icon wherr you will find a totem and pickup in front. That is the map, and you can find them all by just running towards that icon on unrevealed map.

    Collect Golden Seeds (expands you Flask usages on Site of Grace), Sacred Seeds (strenghtens the Flask healing power). Build your character in a way you want to play. I will play medium build with greatsword, so I will be leveling my STR, DEX, END, VIT.

    I suggest you explore a bit first, get you gear and build how you want it, and then go to Stormveil Castle. Details and collectibles for this region can be found here, plus I made some videos to prepare for the mentioned 2 fights:

    Elden Ring - Limgrave Optional Dungeons
    Elden Ring - Stormveil Castle Full Walkthrough (Collectibles, Rogier Questline, Nephili etc.)
    Elden Ring - Preparation and Margit The Fell Omen Boss Strategy
    Elden Ring - Preparation & Godrick the Grafted Boss Strategy (Shardbearer Godrick Trophy)

    When you die from Margit, resting at the site of grace just before that fight will unlock Roundtable Hold - the game hub where you can meet certain NPC and progress their questlines/work towards endings etc.

    Keep taling to Deathbed Companion to progress her questline as you play. Details about missable trophies can be found below, just follow the missable tags and check the steps for endings + missable trophies. 

    At this point, I also suggest you to beat Castle Mourne and Leonine Misbegotten:

    Elden Ring - Castle Morne Full Walktrough, Collectibles & Boss (Leonine Misbegotten trophy)

    Step 2 -  After Stormveil Castle

    After beating the castle you will be probably confused where to go. I went to Academy of Raya Lucaria, which is suggested around level 50+. You should be close if you did some exploring and Castle part. The game is huge, you can't just run towards the end (if you don't want to cheat that is - other players can drop Golden Runes for you in co-op, but I don't plan to do the guide based on that, although I will explain how it works).

    Elden Ring - Raya Lucaria Academy Walkthrough (Collectibles, Thops Questline, Boss Fights)

    After beating the Academy, make you way towards the Caria Manor.

    Step 3 - Go through Caria Manor to reach Three Sisters. You can work on Age of the Stars ending from now on. Also progress Lichdragon Fortissax trophy questline

    I advise doing steps explained in the title above. This will progress you towards where you want to be, and then you can continue with exploring and doing the rest of the map.

    Step 4 - Explore Ainsel River Well South, Redmane Castle (beat Radahn)

    Beating Radahn after following Renni's Age of Stars trophy ending questling opens more underground areas and it's a good direction to take. Refer to my game progression topic to get the details, but in sum - your goal is to beat Radahn in his castle after doing Renni's questline up to this point.

    After this, you can also reach Altus Plateau via 2 routes (do them both).

    Step 5 - Nekron, Eternal City, progress Age of Stars, do the Divine Tower in Liurnia

    This is tied to many things, so I would suggest doing this in this order. I mean, you have to in order to unlock all reachable parts you need to reach (tower for example - you need to beat Nekron and do Renni's questline to unlock inverted tower part).

    Step 6 - Nokstella, Eternal City, progress Age of Stars, move to Altus Plateau region

    Similliar to previous step - do Nokstella underground city, progress questline, and we you can then move to now region - which is Altus Plateau north of Liurnia.

    Step 7 - The Shaded Castle, Leyndell, Volcano Manor

    Do them in that order (you will need to reach Mountaintops of the Giants region for Volcano Manor, hence doing that last in this step). This is a big chunk of story, so take your time and do it properly. 

    Step 8 - Lake of Rot, Moonlight Altar, progress Age of Stars 

    You can return to exploring more undeground areas to reach Moonlight Altar and finally do all of Renni's questline steps that are required to unlock triggering of her ending at the end of the game. 

    Step 9 - Deeproot Depths & Lichdragon Fortissax Trophy

    The trophy is missable! Be careful when you get towards the end of Deeproot area and talk to Fia there - choosing the first option locks you out of the Lichdragon trophy, which means NG+ for you to unlock it.

    Step 10 - Subterranean Shunning-Grounds & Lord of Frenzied Flame Preparation

    You want to reach the secret area of Leyndell Sewers and light the site of grace BEFORE the doors leading to Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending. If you go through the doors at the bottom naked, you will block yourself from getting all 3 trophy endings during one playthrough, so be careful, just don't open the doors after Frenzied Flame Proscription site of grace.

    Step 10 - Castle Sol, Reach West Mountaintops area via the Great Bridge, Mohgwyn Palace

    West snowy mountaintops are optional, so invest your time to get there and then do the Mohgwyn Palace underground area. 

    Step 11 - Miquella's Haligtree & Elphael

    Prepare for the hardest game boss Malenia at the end of mentioned areas. They are accessible from the West Mountaintops by going through the Ordina, Liturgical Town.

    Step 12 - Clean up any NPC quest and trophies that are not ending and story-related

    This is your last point before the point of no return. After doing the next step you will lock some questlines and world areas, so invest time to collect All Legendary Sorceries and Incantations, All Legendary Arnaments, All Legendary Ashes etc.

    If you follow my game progression guide you should get them all without a problem.

    Step 13 - Fire Giant and Crumbling Farum Azula

    After the Fire Giant, when you light the Forge you are then after the first soft point of no return. Complete Farum Azula as well. You can still teleport around the world, but some NPC's in the Rountable Hold are not there anymore, same goes for NPC across the world.

    Step 14 - Leyndell Ashen Capital & all 3 endings

    The final step is reaching the remaining boss fights in Ashen Leydell, beating them and BACKUPING your save after beating Radagon of the Golden Order & Elden Beast (this is one fight). Afterwards, activate Fractured Marika site of grace and backup your save.

    Do the Lord of the Frenzied ending, when trophy unlocks download your backup save, do the Elden Lord ending, when trophy unlocks download your backup save, and do the Age of Stars ending and you should be done at this point.

    What a journey!

    Elden Ring     Obtained all trophies

    Unlock all other trophies to get your Elden Ring platinum!

    Elden Lord  
    MISSABLE
     
    Achieved the “Elden Lord” ending

    Elden Lord is the regular ending of the game, and you will unlock it by interacting with the stone statue at the end of the game. If you do the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending instead, you will be blocked from getting this one. Simply don't enter the red thorned doors at the bottom of Leydell Sewers before you defeat the final boss (the doors are behind the Altar that you can get to from Avenue Balcony Site of Grace in Leyndell - this is when you work your way towards the bottom).

    Before opening the red doors, defeat the final boss Radagon of the Golden Order & Elden Beast (this is one fight), activate Fractured Marika site of grace and backup your save. Do the Elden Lord ending first (so, just interract with the statue next to the mentioned site of grace and choose "Mend the Elden Ring"), and then get your save from the backup if you don't want to play the game multiple times, and do the other endings.

    15:04 - Radagon of the Golden Order & Elden Beast: Elden Remembrance
    21:00 - Backup Your SAVE!!! on Fractured Marika site of grace
    21:22 - Lord of Frenzied Flame Ending. Start from Frenzied Flame Proscription inside Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. It's important that you didn't opened these doors beforehand - as it will block you from one of the endings
    26:10 - Elden Lord Ending. Download your save from USB/Cloud and this time directly end the game from Fractured Marika (Mend the Elden Ring)
    28:35 - Age of the Stars Ending. Download your save from USB/Cloud and this time inspect blue summon on the ground (end of Renni's Questline)

    Age of the Stars  
    MISSABLE
     
    Achieved the “Age of the Stars” ending

    There are 3 ending trophies and you can get only 1 during your playthrough. In order to avoid playing the game 3 times, you can use the "backup save" method before the point where you choose your ending actions and just return your backup after unlocking a certain ending trophy (and then just go for the rest).

    • (OPTIONAL) - Talk to Renna (Ranni) at Church of Elleh after unlocking Spectral Steed (you horse, rideable mount). This step is not mandatory for the questline (I completely missed her here and found her later on to start her questline). She will not be at this location anymore if you progressed the Stormveil Castle (defeated Godrick) and possibly initiated Rogier's questline.
    • Defeat Rennala on top of Academy of Raya Lucaria dungeon. This will be one of your story missions, it's a huge library for which you need Academy Glintstone Key to enter (Elden Ring - Raya Lucaria Academy Walkthrough (Collectibles, Thops Questline, Boss Fights)
    • Go through Caria Manor in the northwestern part of Liurnia region (directly north from the Academy of Raya Lucaria on a hill. You need to follow the road left of the swamp area on the middle). You will reach Three Sisters area behind that, and now you can enter Ranni's Rise tower, when you can find Ranni (she is not called Renna anymore, that liar!). Accept her request. Talk to her and minions around her, and her again until you exhaust all options. She will mention hidden treasure of Nokron and asks that you speak with War Counselor Iji, Blaidd and Seluvis.
    • In Limgrave, visit Mistwood Forest where you need to enter the tower next to the tree icon on the map. That area is called Siofra River Well. Clear the area (Elden Ring - Limgrave Siofra River Well Full Walkthrough & Bosses (Collectibles, Ancestor Spirit) and talk to Blaidd who is located after the second Site of Grace, near the cliffside (follow the clifside on the side where the stairs with torches that you lit are).
    • Speak with Seluvis in Seluvis’ Rise (second tower in Three Sisters mentioned above), and he will mention Sellen (if you triggered his Potion questline, don't worry - whatever you do and however you progress will not affect this questline).
    • Speak with Sellen inside the Waypoint Ruins basement (Elden Ring - Waypoint Ruins (Unlocking Sellen, Sorcerry merchant)  She mentiones that Starscourge Radahn stopped the stars, and that defeating him is the key to Nokron's secrets. Well, of course it is!
    • Go back to Blaidd and talk to him again (same place in Siofra River Well). He mentiones he will meet you before Radahn boss.
    • Talk to Blaidd in the Redmane Castle couryard before the Radahn fight. It's imposible to miss him there.
    • After beating Radahn (the castle is in the southeastern part of Caelid), speak with Blaidd on the battlefield (where you defeated Radahn) who now mentiones meeting you at the place where Stars fell down. This event happens after defeating Radahn of course.
    • Visit Nokron (southwest from Mistwood Forest - southwest from the Siofra River Well entrance, point your camera to the big opening on the right when you're facing downhill and you will see some rocks floating in the air - you need to reach the bottom here, and the path downhill is just next to Mistwood Ruins).
    • Find Fingerslayer Blade in Nokron while progressing (it's at the bottom of the town part that you enter besides the Ancestral Woods site of grace inside Nekron)
    • Speak with Ranni to receive Carian Inverted Statue. With this, visit Carian Study Hall (the big tower which is on eastern side of the Liurnia region). Put Carian Inverted Statue on the altar and reach the Divine Tower. Pick up Cursemark of Death key item, which you will need soon.
    • Visit 3rd Tower in Three Sisters location (Renna’s Rise), and use the teleporter upstairs. Pick up Renna Doll just few meters from the place you start (in the coffin). Use the nearby Site of Grace to talk to Ranni until she gives you a task to defeat the Baleful Shadow. Just to talk to her until you exhaust all dialogues. You can talk to her during investigation of Nokstella on every next site of grace (but it's not required).
    • Visit Nokstella, Eternal City, defeat Baleful Shadow of Blaidd invader at the end. This is the place which you will visit if you continue down the path from Ranni's Dool. After defeting the boss, Ranni's Doll will dissapear and give you the Discarded Palace Key.
    • Open the locked chest on top of Academy of Raya Lucaria (next to Rennala) to get the Dark Moon Ring.
    • Travel back to the Lake of Rot in the Ainsel River area (to be more exact - at the end of Nokstella, after Baleful Shadow boss there is a lift that takes you there), continuing to the Grand Cloister. Reach the end of the blood river and get in the Coffin that is on the sides on the road all the way down.
    • Defeat Astel, Naturalborn of the Void and you will open a path to the Moonlight Altar, past Glintstone Dragon Adula, and you can now enter the Cathedral of Manus Celes. Ranni's body is located in the cathedral in front of an instance of the Two Fingers (jump down the hole in the cathedral area).
    • Using the Dark Moon Ring on Ranni's body will reveal Ranni. You will get Dark Moon Greatsword as a reward after she dissapears. This will give you the option to finish the "Age of the Stars" ending at the end of the game (summon her from the blue sign on the floor after you defeat the last boss and when you initiate the endings).

    21:00 - Backup Your SAVE!!! on Fractured Marika site of grace

    Lord of Frenzied Flame  
    MISSABLE
     
    Achieved the “Lord of the Frenzied Flame” ending

    Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending can be unlocked in Leyndell, the Royal Capital, by reaching and opening the red doors at the sewers at the bottom of Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. Opening the red doors will lock you out from other endings, so be sure to backup your save before doing so (but after defeating the final boss  Radagon of the Golden Order & Elden Beast and activating the Fractured Marike site of grace there)! Even if you defeat the final boss you can still reach the bottom of Leyndell (by using the sewer gates in between some buildings from the Capital Ashes site of grace in Leyndell).

    When you reach Avenue Balcony Site of Grace in Leyndell, you will have to go downstairs, jump the fence on the left, and enter the well below the dragon corpse foot. At the end Mohg awaits, and behind the Altar you can find the hidden path leading to the bottom where the mentioned red doors are. Luckly, you can find Site of Grace at the bottom here, activate it but DON'T enter the doors at the end here. By doing so before defeating the final boss you will lock yourself from Elden Lord ending.

    After backing up the save, when the final boss is defeated, remove all your equipment and enter the doors to unlock the first part for this ending, then teleport to Fractured Marike site of grace and touch the stone at the center. When trophy unlocks, download your save and you can do the other endings.

    Shardbearer Godrick  
    STORY
     
    Defeated Shardbearer Godrick

    Godrick awaits for you at the upper end of Stormveil Castle. Just before the stairs leading to this boss fight there is a room on the right where you can find and speak to Nepheli, and you can summon her before entering through the fog doors.

    Shardbearer Radahn  
    STORY
     
    Defeated Shardbearer Radahn

    Shardbearer Radahn can be found inside the Redmane Castle, and this fight is something else! Note that you can't find Radahn if you don't do the Raya Lucaria Academy, Caria Manor and Renni's Questline up to the point where you meet Blaidd.

    For this piece of work you really need to be careful and follow the exact patterns in order to win. Start with rolling and use the horse as soon as he changes the shooting attack, and rush your way towards him while summoning NPC. This is what you need to do for the rest of the fight while being extremly aggresive - meaning summoning NPC when they die again and again, and keep on attacking. Being agressive really pay of, he will be dead in few minutes, otherwise he just obliterates everything. Good luck!

    Shardbearer Malenia     Defeated Shardbearer Malenia

    Shardbearer Malenia is the optional boss found at the bottom of Ephael at the bottom of Haligtree in the far north. This is the hardest boss in the game.

    First part of this questline is tied to Lakeside Crystal Cave and the Latenna NPC (the girl with the Wolf) that you find at the end of the mentioned cave. Talk to her and you will have to find the Medallion piece for her to progress. You can find it in Village of the Albinaurics which is at the southwestern part of Liurnia (you have to travel from the swamp Site of Grace to the south and climb the swamp bellow the rocks to reach the village Site of Grace. From there, follow the path uphill and roll into the vase at the end where grandpa NPC shows his face. He gives you the Medallion piece). With the part in your possession, return to Latenna and exhaust her dialogue options.

    0:01 - Lakeside Crystal Cave Location
    7:10 - Latenna Quest Start & Slumbering Wolf's Shack teleport
    8:00 - Haligtree Secret Medallion (Right) location (Village of the Albinaurics)
    9:45 - Ash of War: Latenna the Albinauric

    After you kill Morgott (check under trophy for details) you will gain access to the Mountaintop of the Giants. From there, head to the north to Castle Sol. Finish the area, kill Commander Naill and you will get the second half of the Medallion. With the Medallion head back to the big elevator that leads to Mountaintop (Grand Lif of Rold), and you will now have the option to show the other Medallion to the Elevator, thus unlocking the area leading to Haligtree. Here you can also find the teleporter leading to Shardbearer Mohg.

    3:36 - Reach Mountaintops West via Grand Lift of Rold

    11:30 - ***Hidden path to Haligree site of grace*** - Mountaintops West

    Now make your way towards Apostle Derelict in the northwest corner of this area and finish Latenna's questline. This rewards you with upgrade material (upgrade for max level of upgrading a weapon). Afterwards, visit Odina, Liturgical Town and activate the Evergaol there. Light up 4 flames, and once you're done you will finally have access to Haligtree in the north. While progressing through the Haligtree you will have to deferat Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree, after which you reach Ephael. In here, Malena awaits. The only real strategy I have for you is to grind, learn her patterns and be very aggresive. I did it using the Colossal Greatswords but it took me like 3 hours to beat her. Good luck!

    First, you need to have access to western section of Mountaintop of the Giants (leading to Haligtree). Find two parts of the Haligtree Secret Medallion and use them at the Grand Lift of Rold to reach it. Around the leftern edge around the middle of the map (a bit above the middle, but closely to the left edge) you can fidn a teleporter with a bloodstain in front. Go through and finish Moghwyn Palace - Shardbearer Mohg awaits at the end.

Usually the stones are found in optional dungeons, depening on the region you get certain level of stone.

    You can find 9 legendary armaments in the game, and only Bolt of Gransax is missable!

    I had issues with this trophy - it never unlocked for me after getting the last arnament. What I did is, I went to site of grace, Sort Chest, transfered all legendary arnaments there - somewhere along the way trophy unlocked!

    Defeated Lichdragon Fortissax

    Don't worry about progressing too far with the story; you can't really miss fighting this one, but choosing wrong option answers on later steps can result in blocking you from fighting him, this voiding this trophy unlock.

    • Talk to Deathbed Companion at Roundtable Hold and let he hold you (confirm when she asks; she does that every time you speak with her).
    • Visit her after certain events (for example after defeating story bosses which rewards you with Great Rune) and talk to her. Exhaust all of her options every time.
    • Defeat at least one of the Tibia Mariner sub-bosses (the guy in the boat floating around) to receive Deathroot. You can also get one from the treasure chest in Deathouched Catacombs (Elden Ring - Limgrave Optional Dungeons). Deliver at least one to Deathroot Beast Clergyman inside the Bestial Sanctum. You can easily reach that area if you intiate questline in Summonwater Village, which reveals map location of teleport which you can find even without the quest. Visit it northest from the Third Church of Marika (really closely by) inside the forrest and use it to reach the Bestial Sanctum. This is in Caelid region.
    • Speak to "D" sitting at the Roundhold Table table (you don't even have to speak, just make sure he is there)
    • Complete Academy of Raya Lucaria dungeon. Even with just entering it you will unlock the blue barrier doors at the entrance. After using the ones to enter the Academy courtyard, there is another at other end which teleports your northeast - Bellum Road. In short, this leads to Altus Plateau which you need to reach to progress this questline. For me, just teleporting from Academy to Bellum Road did the job. When you do all that, talk to Deathbed Companion and accept her request. You will get Weathered Dagger.
    • Speak with "D" about the Weathered Dagger. Exhaust all dialogues.
    • Teleport again to Roundtable Hold
    • Find "D" dead in the room past the Blacksmith

    • You need to progress Age of the Stars ending until you get Carian Inverted Statue from Renni (check under the trophy for details)
    • With this, visit Carian Study Hall (the big tower which is on eastern side of the Liurnia region). Put Carian Inverted Statue on the altar and reach the Divine Tower. Pick up Cursemark of Death, which you will need soon.
    • Reach Valiant Gargoyle. He can be found by descending down to the lowest level of the Siofra Aqueduct in Nokron, Eternal City. He will jump down on from the celling if you approach the great waterfal here. Find a coffin that will transport you do Deeproot Depths
    • Progress until you get to the arena where you fight some sub-bosses. After defeating them, speak to Deathbed Companion (she sits next to the corpse of a giant monster)
    • MISSABLE PART - During conversation choose the second option "No, I want to be held". If you select the other one, you've missed this trophy.
    • During the following dialogue, offer the Cursemark of Death and interract with her to be teleported to fight the Lichdragon Fortissax boss. Defeat it to get the trophy.
