Could we try and put her in the nightmare?

We do that and she may make all the Hunters into Vilebloods.

Just stick her remains in a locked box, weight it down with some lead, and chuck it into the ocean at some random point. Chances are, no one's ever finding that thing, so there's no resurrection.
If you do that, why not just put the box up Anderson's sleeve?
Even Ebrietas can't figure out how that works.

Point.
Ooor we could try to convert her to Christianity. After all, they do ritualisticly drink blood.
...?
I take it that's a Catholic thing.

It's actually sacramental wine, that's then blessed to be "the blood of Christ."
So more symbolically drink blood.

It a reference to the whole "this wine is my blood, this bread is my body" line from the last supper.

It's not symbolic. Catholics believe in Transubstantiation/Real Presence.

He was the leader of a literal crusade to wipe her and her people out. He killed the rest of them. The idea that a non-aristocratic or monarchial organization which just launched a full blown crusade against her on religious grounds would leave an extremely valuable asset behind permanently rather than attempting to kill the enemy they just declared war on out of some misplaced feudal 'you don't kill Royals' attitude is completely laughable.

... Why wouldn't you kill Royals? I mean, sure, if you're some invader trying to 'legitimize' your claim to the throne of a country, marrying in is one way to do it, and if you're a bunch of grubby peasants, executing your king is a good way to get other Royals angry with you .... But when you're trying to destroy the existence of something, killing off its rulership is a good way to break its organization.
I'm not going to vote against dragging Alfred back, but at some point I think we need to recognize that we don't get to decide when the story becomes comedic or dramatic.
Alfred is not in the mood for comedy, and I'm half expecting that forcing him to confront this "madness" will cause him to snap and start attacking Ebrietas, Anderson, and anyone in reach, quite possibly hurting someone before he's subdued or killed.

M'crazy.
Either way, we need him to somehow stick around long enough for him to tell Anderson about the
Anderson already knows about them. The two of them shared a moment together when we first ran into Alfred.
Then the Alfred kept talking and revealed that he was with the Church. There was a record scratch and everything.
I just realized a really really OOC thing...has there been a single leprechaun that we've killed? It can be assumed we'll meet with the Vilebloods one way or another, but I can't think of anything resembling a leprechaun in Bloodborne.
Just was looking at the title and wondered. Apologies if this has already been brought up.

This is one of those rare, beautiful quests where the QM and the readers are in perfect sync with each other over the tone and direction of the story.
Now the only thing we need is a banner so that others might discover the madness. Hmm. I suggest we include pics of Ebrietas in a nuns habit and maybe everyone's favorite negligent homicide of crows (who have been mysteriously absent of late).

Nah, it should be a close up of Anderson's face. Glasses shining, full toothy grin, that sort of thing.
The title is "Anderson Quest" after all.
Gave it a shot. I think it came out as bleh.

People would already figure that out from the title. You have very limited real estate to sell people on the concept so things that people could figure out from name itself are a waste of valuable space.
Eldritch nuns and fat birds are a much better sell
That or give it tagline like, I dunno, "Come for the black humor, stay for the feels" or, "So apparently dropping Anderson into another setting actually makes things better. Yeah, surprised us too."
Better than nothing! And you give yourself too little credit.Gave it a shot. I think it came out as bleh.
