Azri Finishes Elden Ring’s Main Story in the 25th Stream, Taking the Ending With Ranni

774INC — Azri of Nanashiinku finished the main story of ELDEN RING on Friday in the 25th stream of a series that, by the streamer’s own count, came to about 100 hours. The final bosses fell about an hour and 47 minutes in, and Azri took the ending built around Ranni. “That was a really good ending, wasn’t it?” Azri said. “I was moved. I became king.”

Azri had come back after a two-week break and opened by admitting to having forgotten almost everything: the controls, the build and even why the character was dressed as it was. Azri pieced it together from the equipment screen, then spent the first stretch of the stream losing to the last bosses while summoning the spirit ash Tiche, whom Azri kept urging on and joked should be the one crowned. Between attempts Azri left to farm runes and upgrade materials, then went back in for another try. When the last blow landed, the ending cutscene began and Azri paused to save before choosing. Azri said a first-time ending out of curiosity had its pull, but that a promise had already been made to marry at the end of it all.

“The two of us are going to build a world of the moon together.” — Azri, after the ending

After the credits Azri thanked viewers, recalled that all 25 parts ran about four hours apiece, and said every one of them had something worth remembering, including the edited 20-to-30-minute recaps on the channel. Azri declined to start a second playthrough and spent the rest of the evening revisiting corners of the game. In an underground area full of figures clutching musical instruments, Azri worked out a way across a run of narrow coffin platforms by repeatedly backstepping, called the method the right one and joked about sweaty palms with a pun on the Japanese word for the Tarnished. Later, in Deeproot Depths, Azri fought Fia’s champions and met an ancient dragon in a dream, calling its story a sad one. The stream stalled briefly in the middle when YouTube acted up, and Azri lowered the bitrate before carrying on.

Azri said the next stream, on Sunday, will start the DLC, and that the weekly Friday slot will no longer be fixed: Azri plans to stream the game around twice a week, wherever the schedule allows. The next day’s stream will be a read-aloud with a binaural microphone.
