I became the lord of frenzied flame and now I feel like a terrible person
It felt really hollow and lonely going up to the giant forge all by myself, but gosh dang it I want the achievement and I already did the stupid platforming section so heck with it. I'll burn the whole world and declare myself king of the ashes so I can get a 5 second dopamine hit from seeing the achievement pop up.

Now I feel obligated to do a second playthrough where I don't cause the apocalypse. Ah well, more reasons to play this game isn't a bad thing in all honesty.

That final cutscene is haunting. No dialogue, no screams, just these wicked yellow flames engulfing everything.

Incinerate all that divides and distinguishes OP

We're not at the apocalypse quite yet as the epilogue implies. It's probably the most interesting ending and also the one most likely to serve as continuation for the story, given that it's the only one that doesn't wrap up the fate of the Lands Between.

Maybe Shabiri and the Three Fingers aren't 'good', but I'm sure there's a point to the lore about the Great Will having made a mistake and opening questions about what the 'One' is, tying back into five fingers, even though it's probably the worst symbolism the game offers lol

Let chaos engulf the world op

It reminds me of the ending of Indie gem Spirits of Xanadu.

Did same thing, also don’t feel bad, obviously golden order was a crock of ♥♥♥♥♥ overall so doubt world is much worse off than had just repeated inevitable cycle there

Had miquella’s needle too but missed guess supposed use it in dragonlord’s arena?

Didn’t feel like back tracking after last boss tho and want to do at least one NG+ so, it’s Ranni or normal ending this time for me now

It's the only "good" ending in my opinion. Good and evil is all subjective so the only way to be purely good is to destroy everything and reconnect all the energy and eliminate the separation.

Everyone else causes suffering of some kind to someone, the lord of chaos eliminates it.

You're the good guy.

I felt the most good ending was becoming elden lord. Re establishing order. And reinstating the death rune so that people would die and not return to the erd tree for reincarnation.
Rannis seems good but when thought about is actually quite Selfish and evil.
The burning is a sort of chaotic good for sure though. Since the erd tree and the golden order are a literal parasite on the planet akin to an alien invasion take over. You're burning away the world so that perhaps one day from the ashes a new world will be reborn. But in the process you are damning the ofiginal races and the chars of the original tree. Perhaps the original tree will regrow. Or something new will come of it. Either or it doesn't change the fact that everything is murdered "good" or "evil" lol.

At least you saved Melina. You are the kindest person ever.

You're clearly a terrible person. Perhaps the apocalypses will give you some time to self reflect, so that in your next incarnation you can do better.

you can go back whenever and use the needle - it doesnt have to be during fight or before dragonlord is dead
Roger that, assumed after he was dead, already done it but in debating it in last arena post fight, decided like OP said another reason replay isn’t worst thing in world

I embraced the flame. It's the only "good" ending in a "Noah! Get the boat ready!" kinda way

Plus get look like a knock off spider man villian in the video, win-win really far as I see it

Except whole Melina going full swim fan thing, but eh, like see her try deliver “destined death” to person who unleashed it on fabric of reality after prying it from cold dead hands of its bearer
