PSA: For those of you who want to get all 3 ending achievements in one playthrough

[Rich Mahogany]

Maybe this is known, maybe it's not:

1) Take the steps to get the usurpation of fire ending
2) After you kill Soul of Cinder, save and exit before linking the flame
3) Go into C:/Users/yourusername/Appdata/DarkSoulsIII/ and make a copy of the folder with a bunch of numbers (the save folder) and save it to your desktop
4) Reload the game, link the flame, get the Usurpation of Fire achievement
5) Exit the game, go into the save folder again and delete it, and copy the backup from desktop into that location
6) Reload the game, summon the firekeeper, get the darkness ending achievement
7) Same as above, exit then delete the save, copy the backup in
8) Now to get the regular ending, reload the game and teleport back to firelink. You want to use a purging stone from Yuria, then kill her. Then go to the firekeeper and heal the dark sigil using the eyes of the firekeeper you got in Untended Graves. This may cost a crapload of souls at this point, so I recommend selling everything you have, using all your boss souls, then going to the winged knights on the top of grand archives to farm the last bit.
9) Now link the flame having done the above and you should get the regular ending achievement.
10) Delete the save and put the backup in again so you can do NG+ the way you want.

Go with god.

basically: use backups and you don't have to go to ng++ for all the endings?

Indeed. Something most could probably figure out but I'm sure many don't like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with game files.

If you want to get all rings, NG++ is required. Or a friend who is bored/generous enough with his time/items.

Actually yea, backups are amazing. And friends.
