Save Anri or let her Die? Which Ending to go for? Dark Sigil and Yuria?
I just can't decide what to do with the ambiguous conflicting questlines. And can't choose.
This is my first playthrough. I'm just before Pontif boss. SL 70ish. I need to decide whether to kill the Assassin pilgrim or doom Anri.
My initial instinct tells and morals tell me to kill the pilgrim and save Anri. Even though the game gives ZERO ways / hints to tell you about the hidden pilgrim. Unless you rad a guide there's no way a normal player will discover it (wont messages) and understand what's going on. Or even that they mean to kill her. Because it's the most vague narrative ever.

So it all makes no sense anyway.
Then there is Yuria leaving it I betray her then can't buy her Purging Stones stuck with Hollowing unless I cure Dark Sigil which costs like 200k almost and rising.

Finally there's choosing 1 ending from the 3. I had to read them all, as part of quest guides...
Not sure which ending is best to start with. Because I don't know if I feel like NG+. I might load a save to get more endings... dunno.

Well. If you do kill the Pilgrim, you could always just kill Yuria as well. She'll drop her ashes and you can buy all her stuff if you give it to the old lady.

Also, if you visit the velka statue you can also do something similar to purging stones, I think it just costs a bit more.

Save her, you can't get her armor otherwise.

I have done both I usually I save Anri, but not until I buy everything I want from Yulia.

What's the difference except achievements for each ending?

Nothing, except the armor I mentioned.

SPOILER ALERT*******************


In one version you marry her in a nice ceremony. In the other you help her defeat her enemy but you are forced to let her go.

I want to save her, but one big advantage of going on with Yuria quest is that you can technically Save the game and use copy paste to recover old save, then do all 3 endings for all 3 achievements in a single playthrough. I think at least.
Should have no downsides (I did this in Bloodborne).
Did anyone try this? The game is way too long and sometimes tedious (like Cathedral of the Deep and Farron Keep) to be very enjoyable & motivating for another run...

However if you kill the Pilgrim I would only be able to do 2 endings , but not Usurp the Fire ending. Not sure which way to go with 1st run.

I wish they didn't conflict npc stories and endings like that. Or at least made it worth it to go one way. Like a proper good ending for Anri and you.

How do you get her armor? Is it even worth it?

Just get Anri killed, for achievement hunting you'd have to enter NG+2 anyways, which means you can finish NG+2 for all 3 endings

So why getting her killed? Don't understand. I don't care much for the crazy achievements in this game. But to see all 3 endings in 1 playthrough you need to continue with Yuria.

Other problem is the damn Dark Sigil that costs a ton to remove...

I wish they let you at least do the Aldrich storyline finish with Anri, then make Yuria story unfolds without conflicting one another. Or at least make Anri survive so it's worth it.


Btw is it ok to backup and reload saves to see several endings? No banning or anything right?
(Basically a save backup)

Really the deal with the dark sigil is that if you care about hollowing, you should have gotten it cured ASAP while it's still cheap after hitting 5 sigils.

Make sure she's dead at the end of her quest (or just kill her early) and then buy it from the shrine maiden. I think the armor looks good, has decent absorption, and decent poise for the weight it has.

If you don't care for the achievements, look up the endings on YouTube. I don't recall anyone getting banned for reloading backups for the endings, in case you still want to do that.

I didn't because they said it will break Yuria questline. And make her stop selling stuff right?

yeah, but if you kill her and give her ashes to the handmaid, you can still buy her stuff

Also killing her gets an NPC to invade you in two areas. If you kill it twice and then I believe go back to where Yuria was you'll get its set. You get the claws it uses after first killing it.

I normally kill Yuria the second I get the gesture from her and the Paleshade, the NPC that invades you.
