Ok, so I'm pretty sure I'm at the end of the game. Mergo's Wet Nurse is dead and the Nightmare has been Slain, The Hunter's Dream is on fire, and Gehrman's asking me to submit my life or refuse.
I know I dun fucked up regarding endings, since I sent Arianna to Iosefka's Clinic and killed Iosefka early, so I've only got 2/4 Umbilical Cords. If I use them now, will the effects carry over to NG+? Someone said that the items themselves don't carry over, so I might as well use them just for the Insight.
Currently trying to think of all the loose ends: Willem should still be around in Byrgenwerth so I'll murder him for his rune; I can't fight the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst since I killed Eileen; Gascoigne and Viola's daughters are both dead since I gave the younger one the Red Jeweled Brooch and the older one the Red Messenger Ribbon; Queen Annalise is safe but effectively useless since I'm playing offline; Alfred is dead, the Lonely Old Woman is dead, Arianna is dead, the cannibal is dead but the suspicious man, Adella and the chapel dweller should still be alive (need to check the Cathedral Ward); I found the Blood Rock (just need to decide what to use it on) and the upgraded Moon rune (although I don't know why they'd give you it right at the end of the game, and I'm not sure what the increase in Blood Echoes actually is, is it +10/+15%?); and the last weapon I think I can get is the Chikage, so I'll need to do some grinding for both itself and the levels to use it.
The last thing I can think of is the white bride outside the Wet Nurse's Lunarium, who I'm assuming is Mergo's mother, and she disappeared after killing Mergo's Wet Nurse - any tips as to where she can be found, or is she gone forever?
Also, what the fuck was up with the giant Mother Brain in Mergo's Loft? I just found a lever and ended up dumping it into a massive pit, is stopping the Frenzy in front of Mergo's Loft all that did?
