Endings question

[Thomas00999]

Hello. So after reading up on it here, I figured there are technically 3 endings you can get. One where you accept the throne (bad ending), one where you refuse but you do not have the Eyes items and one where you refuse and you do have the Eyes. So that technically means I can now get two of them since I already have the Eyes. But can I get both bad and good ending in one playthrough? I am asking because I would like to see the bad ending but if the game wont let me come back and do the good ending I would ratter not miss a chance to fight two extra bosses. So just in case Im asking people who already completed the game. Thanks.

As long as you don't collect both eyes, you can do all three endings on one playthrough.

Do the accept ending and get that, do the refuse ending and get that, then get the eyes and do the refuse+extra ending.

If you've already got both eyes, you can only get the two endings.

This is such a bad design choice. There is no indication of a "point of no return" with opening some random chests and receiving the eye balls. It also feels incredibly silly since it is an impossible feat for the player to just drop the eyeballs. You are given a choice with the throne so why not give the player the choice with the eyeballs? From software games have more flexibility with the endings. In bloodborne you have to consume 3 items for the final ending. In Eldenring you are given choices in the end for all but one ending where you have to do a specific thing and even that is possible to reverse. Very disapointing choice from the devs.

Hey all! Do I need to try and create a backup save, or does the game allow me to do different endings in the same file?

I can confirm you can do them in the same file HOWEVER (and I cannot confirm this) it looks like if you skip the bad ending you may not have a chance to get back to it. Without spoiling too much if you pick the option to refuse the throne you will really piss of some characters and it looked like if I did not pick the bad ending before I would not be able to anymore ... so just in case pick bad ending first, then refuse without Eyes if you have the option and finally refuse while having Eyes in your inventory to make sure you get all 3 endings.

You don't need to complete the game without the eyes! You get both achievements if you complete it with the eyes. So take the throne, then refuse with the eyes to get them all.

There are 3 distinct endings, but if you're only worried about the achievements, there's no problem.

Once you actually beat the game (and get an ending) they become "calm" again and offer you the choice once more.

at what timing is best to start getting second skin and ghost lady will spawn. I request spoiler please as I already have both ending accept and refuse but I never get the eyes. I got the Second Skin before Laddack fight and took the trouble to find the mirror in something village and get the secret area where you will meet the ghost lady but the ghost is not spawn. WHY?
