10 Video Game Endings That Get Worse The More You Think About Them

10. Blessing Of Despair - Elden Ring

Blessing Of Despair is one of the endings in Elden Ring with the lowest requirements, befitting the fact that you unlock it by completing the quest line for a character called the Dung Eater. The fact that he appears as a red phantom - something all Souls players will recognize as bad news - is a pretty good indicator that nothing good will come from helping him.

The Dung Eater tasks you with tracking down several Seedbed Curses - disgusting growths that sprout from the bodies of his former victims. He's a nasty guy obsessed with disgusting filth and suffering, but it's unclear if he is cursed to be this way or if this is just who he is.

Regardless, by fulfilling his plans you effectively afflict everyone in the entire Lands Between with his Seedbed Curse, which not only causes them agonizing pain in life, but also traps their souls in eternal torment. That's everyone. Forever. All people, from now on, will be born and die with this curse, causing generations of death and decay until there are no people left; only souls suffering for eternity.

And the worst part? This apparently accomplishes nothing. It's evil for the sake of evil.
