Another thought: the Yharnam Stone depicts what appears to be a human child or humanoid child at its center. If it really is the stillborn body of Mergo, this reveals a parallel between Yharnam and Mergo, and Kos and the Orphan of Kos. Out of all the Great Ones, the Orphan of Kos bears the strongest resemblance to a human. Its ivory skin and black eyes are strongly reminiscent of the Pthumerians. Even still, after defeating the Orphan of Kos, we find another entity tethered to the corpse of Kos--a dark, incorporeal wraith-like creature. Like Mergo, it seems the "sweet child of Kos" was split into both a physical embodiment and a "formless" spirit. Kos herself could be a reflection of Queen Yharnam. Perhaps Kos is the progenitor of the Pthumerians, which slowly devolved over time into the Cainhurst nobles, whom later became the treacherous Vilebloods. It's also possible that the "sweet child of Kos" IS Mergo, and that Byrgenwerth, the Healing Church, or the School of Mensis tried at some point to "impregnate" the carcass of Kos with the Yharnam Stone, allowing them to procure the blood of a "formless" Great One. Perhaps this was the ultimate goal of the Healing Church?

I had the same idea, that they probably meant it to work like a hunters badge or boss soul to get s special weapon

Kinda like that unopened door past the giant swinging the ball and chain, you get all the way down there just discover a door that can never be opened

The door past the giant with the ball and chain is literally just a door that would open to the cleric beast's bridge, though.

Not sure if you already know but people found a cut mini side-quest in the files.
Apparently you were supposed to give the Yharnam stone to the NPC outside of the fishing hamlet (the one that goes "Byrgenwerth... Byrgenwerth..." ) and he'll give you an item, we don't know what Item tho.

sounds like something max payne would say

Lol, yeh, sounds like something max payne would say.

What’s this above Max Payne?

Miyuzaki does it again.

You did a boss in co-op. Yet you’re still surprised it was easy?

Why wasn't the boss hard? I'm only level 200...

I want to be cool like this too. Teach me.

Lol because you actually summoned for the Yharnam fight like a fu*king simpleton

Wow. Just wow. Why was my exam so easy? All i had to do was share answers with my friends and we passed, so disappointing that is was this easy lol maybe they should have made the test better

you would've died without your summon, no doubt.

Being able to use her weapon and garb would've been more rewarding... seriously, this should've unlocked more than ritual blood galore...

It's a platinum trophy tho

There kinda is, considering you can get a dynamic bloodborne theme for getting platinum

I believe the blood represents that she miscarried, which supports the theory that the Yharnam Stone is a lithopedion.

I was under the impression that Yharnam was the mother of Mergo?

it's generally recognized that the blood signifies childbirth. it's never officially stated so who knows though.

Yharnam was impregnated by Oedon, a Great One that ascended higher than the others and therefore has no physical form and only exists in sound, that's why you can hear Mergo's cries but can't see her.

Dont you mean Trophy? Ps4 exclusive last I checked...

Honestly it could work either way. Since a trophy is technically an achievement
