Endings Difficulty

[jaredbftball]

Just finished my first playthrough by getting the Age of Stars ending. I know that the Elden Lord ending has 4 possible versions: Age of Fracture (default), Age of Duskborn (Fia), Age of Order (Goldmask & Brother Corhyn), and Blessing of Despair (Dung Eater). Then aside from those, there is the Frenzied Flame ending. I want to do a playthrough where I meet all of the requirements for the 4 Elden Lord endings and another playthrough of doing the Frenzied Flame ending. For those with more experience than me on these, which option will be more difficult? I want to do the easier option for my ng+ run and a fresh save for the easier one.

I would not bother with fracture/duskborn/order/despair. They are almost identical except for slightly different voice lines and color palettes. Its like the infamous Mass Effect endings. Frenzied flame is at least moderately different. You already saw the most different one, ie Ranni's.

the 4 endings are harder, since you have to go through multiple questline to be able to get the different Elden Lord endings. i would do that on NG+ where you can just speed through the game. you will also probably want to use a guide for the quests, you can break at least one of them if you progress the game too much

the frenzied flame is shorter, you can do that in a fresh save

I understand that I don't need to do all these different endings, I just wanted to for fun.

I have a full playlist guide of a YouTuber named its shatter. I've been watching to complete my final play-through and get every quest done in the game. He also does a really good job towards the end of the guides on helping you decide which ending you're going for or missed if you wanna 100% the game. Also wanted to add that he does not go to far into spoilers and does mention it before hand if you wanna skip ahead of the video.
