Ending (Dark Souls II)

In, there are

Proceed to Throne
After the player slays Nashandra, a cutscene will play showing the player walk atop golems and into a throne room. They are told to sit, and when they do, the doors close, trapping the character inside. It is believed that in doing so, they are once again linking the First Flame.

Leave the Throne
Available only to those with the Scholar of The First Sin update. In order to trigger it, the player must walk to the boss fog at the entrance to the area and accept the "Leave Throne" prompt. Aldia speculates on something "beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of Dark" while the Bearer of the Curse walks out of the Throne of Want while the pillars brighten up, which extinguish as Aldia finishes his narration.



After the Credits
Regardless of the ending chosen, the player is warped to Majula allowing them to finish any remaining business. The player may then begin the next New Game+ from the Far Fire.

Trivia
If a Bonfire Ascetic is used on the King's Gate bonfire, and Nashandra has been defeated on the same playthrough, the player will be able to see the ending again and be warped back to the Majula bonfire.
