Ending achievements (Spoilers obv)

[FreddyTheMonkey]

So in my first run I did the variant of the Firekeeper ending... which is the only one that doesn't grant you any achievement. Now, I am replaying the game and I'll also do NG++ to get all the other achievements, but PLEASE tell me there is a way to get 3 endings in 2 runs (save backups maybe?). I don't think I would play the game an additional fourth time.

uhm, i dont think u can. im not sure if backups work but I wouldnt assume they do. I just ran through the game yesterday and it only took like 2-3 hours if u speed run it with friends. you just need people to kill the bosses faster.

That's what you get for killing faultless Fire Keeper :(

But I feel guilty for what I did, honestly :( I kinda swung my weapon without knowing it as I assumed I couldn't move, DARN IT

You can backup save, I got 2 ending in 5 min

I do believe a backup would work, steam saves your achievements and once you've got 'em, you keep 'em. Man that ending you did is harsh though... I did it last out of curiosity, never again. </3

You can have all 4 endings in a single play through if you stop some quests in the right place and do a backup and restore.

1. Get your 5 levels from Yoel. Follow the Usurpation of Fire quest-line with Anri until Yuria tell you your spouce is waiting. Then go to the hidden area and get the Sword of Avowal from the pilgram. STOP!! Do not perform ritual on Anri.

2 Carry on with the rest of the game, picking up the Firekeepers eyes and giving them to the Firekeeper.

3. After defeating the Soul of Cinder. STOP!! Do not light the bonfire.

4. This is where the backup of your save game needs to happen. Then restore this backup spot for each ending.

Ending 1: To Link The First Flame: just light the bonfire.

Ending 2: The End of Fire: summon the Firekeeper

Ending 3: The End of Fire variation: summon the Firekeeper and attack her as the screen fades

Ending 4: Usurpation of Fire: Go back to the hidden area where you left Anri hanging and complete the ritual. Then go light the bonfire at Soul of Cinder.

Do you plan on only playing through the game 3 times?

Thank you and all the other guys who replied. But how exactly can I do to make that happen? Right click on the game, backup, and then when I want to get a new ending I uninstall DS3 and then I restore the backup I did before? Or is there something much simpler such as copying and then overwriting the saves?

Not sure but probably yes. If the NG+ had variations I probably would have played more but as it is I think I'm going to play three times. The game is great but I need incentives to keep me going, and I'm not that big on playing other builds other than my current one, not much of an experimentator :/ plus, way too many game to play :/

This should help.

I think for the achivements you just need 3/4 endings. End of fire just counts as one achivement in any variation. I have just started ng++ and its pretty easy with all my equipment, also im just getting the new rings :D I'm almost over with achivemnts just missing 3

I didn't receive the achievement for The End of Fire unfortunately.
