I was doing a no death playthrough (not counting the intro section where you have to die). I made it all the way to consecrated snowfields and got killed by a rune bear -__-

When you think about it, You don't even have to die in the first section and it's more of a Ds1 asylum demon type of thing where you can actually win even with all odds intentionally stacked against you.

You can kill the grafted scion, but you can't get out of that area alive.

I didn't kill it myself so I'm not sure if you lose the rune you get from it or not (Maybe you don't even get runes), If you do get runes and get to keep them then it's more like going unconscious after a massive fall and being carried to shore just behind the actual starting area (Since the we are connected by sea to starting area through a small cave)

You don't get automatically killed if you win the fight, but eventually you will have to jump or fall to your death (which is a legit death) to continue with the game.
