Dark Souls II Endings

Every ending in Dark Souls II and what each one needs.

• Claim the Throne: You sit upon the Throne of Want and take the place of the monarch, holding back the dark for a time. Defeat the Throne Watcher and Throne Defender, Nashandra and Aldia, then interact with the throne.
• Leave the Throne: Only in Scholar of the First Sin: after defeating Aldia you walk away from the throne to seek something beyond the cycle. Defeat Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin after Nashandra, then walk out through the exit instead of sitting.
