Whereas nothing appears unsuitable with this ending at first, it wouldn’t be very FromSoftware to have a ‘good’ ending.

Ushering in a brand new god, the Darkish Moon, Ranni and the Tarnished participant character rule collectively, with Ranni as queen and also you as her Royal Consort. It’s not clear the place you go precisely, as a result of a part of Ranni’s ethos is to be eliminated and aside from that which she is governing (she noticed the direct intervention of the Golden Order as a failing).
