To get the Chaos Ending, also known as the Lord of Frenzied Flame Ending, in Elden Ring, you need to meet with the Three Fingers to inherit the Frenzied Flame, which will lock you out of all other ending choices unless you use Miquella’s Needle at Dragonlord Placidusax’s arena at Crumbling Farum Azula. This requires following Hyetta’s quest all the way to the Three Fingers and becoming their champion, ultimately leading to a path where you become a destructive dictator, consuming the world in the flame of chaos.

Understanding the Chaos Ending

The Chaos Ending is considered the bad ending of Elden Ring, as it involves embracing the Three Fingers and essentially destroying The Lands Between. This path is also the most difficult to trigger, with Melina, your maiden, abandoning you if you pursue this ending, indicating how far off the beaten path you’ll have to go.
