Did I just effed up my ending? (SPOILERS WITH CAPS)

[AnimaTorze]

Once I reached the cathedral of sacred blood, I met another io and looked at all the very specific vestiges with her. After beating the boss, I saved the successor and continued my way to Nicola.

Met the same "other" io but this time, i didn't view the vestiges belonging to Nicola because I thought "what's the point when I can view them with io?" (i'm honestly not quite sure if you can or can not view his vestiges with io). However, i couldn't save him after beating the boss.

After facing more successors along the way, SAVING THEM (I left Mia sad apparently when I could've brighten her day with Nicola ALIVE! I felt absolutely HORRIBLE. I mean, i made Jack SMILE!), I have a feeling I messed up my chance for the 100% true ending I was trying to go for on my first run of the game.

I know it probably sounded like I had everything figured out, but I need an answer to put my grinding mind at ease. Did I messed it up?

Yep
Better luck next time

[Lefty]

you 100% messed up for a good/true ending, and are now on the path for the neutral ending

FAAAAQQQQQ I can already see myself sitting on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ throne! thanks ;_;

It's ok the game is built around being able to ng+ through every ending, the only downside is you won't get the queen bloodcode which can be a useful asset for bayonet/mage builds. Don't sweat it :)

[Mad Catter]

well you don't have to repair the Vestige to save them. Just collecting is enough. Repairing is for unlocking more skills of the Successor's Blood Code

What you should do now, is not save any of the other successors, everytime u dont save one, you get a blood code, so if you fed up the ending, might aswell get the blood codes for fkin ♥♥♥♥ up hahaha

You do actually need to repair the vestiges, not only pick them up, so, when doing mutiple runs, you have to repair the vestiges again to trigger the restore memory parts

All good. Just do NG+, choose the same difficulty and not the actual NG+ difficulty and speed run. You can do it in probably 3-4 hours with ease, or less! Just remember to do all the vestiges of Eos and for each Attendant of the Successor, to max out their ♥♥♥♥ before doing the Successor. It's kind of simple but easy to screw up if you're eager to fight the boss without roaming the area lol.

It is happened to me too. Just take it like a reason to beat the game again.
There are 2 things that makes this run not useless:

1) you get an achievement for this "neutral" ending"
2) you get a different blood code if you save or kill successors , so you get something anyway.

When I finished my first run, and got the neutral ending, I just made a speed run to get the bad ending playing on the same difficulty (and get different Blood Codes from those succesors I saved before, in my first run ).
Now I'm playing it to get the "good ending" and I'll get the Blood Code that I missed killing Nicola , and the last achievement beating the game (good ending achievement).

You don't. I got the True Ending in my first try and I didn't repair Aurora's Vestiges.

You actually do from what I finally understand. I always 100% every area before going for the bosses, so I always managed to find every single vestiges before progressing. I had all of Nicola's vestiges but still couldn't save him. Not sure about Aurora. I'll give that a shot on my next playthrough.
