When killed Shanalotte drops the Aged Feather, and you can no longer use her services (unless revived, but it's unclear whether this is even possible). Are there any non-obvious differences to the rest of the game, especially lore-related, like changed dialogue, locations or items?

1 Answer

Aside from her being dead and thus unable to appear in other locations, no. You can use her services at her grave by paying some souls.
