Hardest Achievements To Unlock in Elden Ring

Elden Ring is one of the biggest games of all time. However, despite its overwhelming success, there are some achievements that the majority of players have not gotten their hands on. There are many reasons that a player might not have an achievement yet.

This can be due to a staggering number of collectibles, an optional fight that they would rather skip, or requires multiple playthroughs. While Elden Ring offers a lot of replayability, some players would rather play through the entirety of the game once and be content with just one of the game’s multiple endings.

10 Dragonlord Placidusax

Defeated Dragonlord Placidusax

• % of all players: 30.1 Percent

Players who give up on the game early will never see this boss, as it only comes much later in the game. Players can find this boss by first heading to the Beside the Great Bridge site of grace. They can then drop from a specific ledge and interact with a prompt to be teleported to the boss arena.

This boss will also offer a remembrance, but its rune count dwarfs the previously mentioned boss reward with a whopping 280,000 runes. As one would imagine, this boss is no pushover.

9 Lichdragon Fortissax

Defeated Lichdragon Fortissax

• % of all players: 29 Percent

Players will unlock this achievement upon defeating Lichdragon Forissax. To reach this boss, players will need to get their hands on the Carian Inverted Statue from the NPC called Ranni the Witch — also known as Renna.

Defeating this boss will give players a Remembrance and 90,000 Runes in addition to causing this achievement to unlock. Players using some of the most overpowered intelligence builds have toppled this boss in record times.

8 Elden Lord

Achieved the "Elden Lord" Ending

• % of all players: 23.4 Percent

This is the standard ending that most players will get by playing through the game. However, so many players pursue the goal of completing Ranni's questline, Ages of the Stars has been obtained more times than this one.

This is because just completing the game is such an arduous task that most players have not been able to accomplish it. After defeating the game’s final boss, players can choose to Mend the Elden Ring and become the Elden Lord.

7 Ages of the Stars

Achieved the "Age of the Stars" Ending

• % of all players: 28.3 Percent

One of the most well known NPCs in the game is Ranni the Witch. Players will need to fully complete her questline for this ending to be one of the options available to them.

Ranni’s questline has numerous steps to it and players must take caution to ensure they accomplish each of them correctly. Accomplishing this will let you summon Ranni at the end of the game to get this ending instead of the others.

6 Legendary Armaments

Acquired All Legendary Armaments

• % of all players: 17.9 Percent

There are 10 Legendary Armaments in the game. They include Bolt of Gransax, Dark Moon Greatsword, Devourer's Scepter, Eclipse Shotel, Golden Order Greatsword, Grafted Blade Greatsword, Godslayer's Greatsword, Marais Executioner's Sword, Ruins Greatsword, and Sword of Night and Flame.

These can give way to some truly overpowered builds. However, some of these weapons are missable. Should the player progress the game to the point they can no longer get a weapon such as Bolt of Gransax, they will need to start a new playthrough.

5 Legendary Talismans

Acquired All Legendary Talismans

• % of all players: 17.5 Percent

There are 8 Legendary Talismans in Elden Ring. These include Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, Erdtree's Favor +2, Godfrey Icon, Marika's Soreseal, Moon of Nokstella, Old Lord's Talisman, Radagon Icon, and Radagon's Soreseal. The Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman is an amazing talisman for one of the best Quality builds in Elden Ring.

Players will be able to get some of these without much trouble, and they can make a big help in defeating many bosses later on. However, players will need to progress the game all the way to the Maliketh boss fight. Only after defeating Maliketh will they be able to get the final Legendary Talisman.

4 Legendary Ashen Remains

Acquired All Legendary Ashen Remains

• % of all players: 17.5 Percent

This achievement will unlock once players have gotten their hands on every Legendary Ashen Remains. There are only 6 of these remains, but players are in for an arduous journey in collecting them all. These legendary remains include Mimic Tear Ashes⁣, Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff Ashes, Black Knife Tiche Ashes, Cleanrot Knight Finlay Ashes, Lhutel the Headless Ashes, and Redmane Knight Ogha Ashes.

Players should not attempt these if they are still progressing through the story, as they can be challenging affairs. Players will want to get their hands on the Mimic Tear for some powerful endgame builds first. Players will need to have completed Ranni’s questline before they are able to collect Black Knife Tiche, which can lock out players from getting this achievement in their current playthrough.

3 Legendary Sorceries and Incantations

Acquired All Legendary Sorceries and Incantations

• % of all players: 17.0 Percent

Just like with the Legendary Ashen Remains, there are Legendary Sorceries and Legendary Incantations. There are a combined total of 7 Legendary Sorceries and Incantations. These include Flame of the Comet Azur, Elden Stars, Flame of the Fell God, Founding Rain of Stars, Greyoll's Roar, Ranni's Dark Moon, and Stars of Ruin.

These can be obtained by players making their way to some of the most challenging of areas and completing long-running questlines. Just as with the previous entry on this list, players will have to have progressed through Ranni’s questline to obtain this achievement.

2 Lord of Frenzied Flame

Achieved the "Lord of Frenzied Flame" Ending

• % of all players: 16.1 Percent

This is often referred to as “the bad ending” by many players. It is an ending of destruction, bringing ruin to the world through the Frenzied Flame. This ending requires players to reject the option of becoming the Elden Lord, and instead become the Lord of the Frenzied Flame.

To do this, they will need to defeat Mohg, the Omen, find a secret passageway, and meet with Three Fingers. Defeating Mohg on its own is a harrowing ordeal, but all of the extra effort will reward players with a new ending to behold.

1 Elden Ring

Obtained All Achievements

% of all players: 10 Percent

This achievement is obtained purely by doing all the other achievements. Some might think an achievement such as this does not deserve a place on this list, as it is merely a compilation of other tasks. However, even if it is not the most interesting one on the list, it is objectively the least obtained one.

This also means many players will find themselves having to do multiple playthroughs to get every ending in the game, as each of them will have a different achievement.
