Should I submit or refuse Bloodborne?

In Bloodborne, choosing to "Submit your life" ends the game with the most straightforward ending where you awaken free in Yharnam, while "Refuse" leads to a boss fight with Gehrman and unlocks paths to the other two, more complex endings, especially if you've consumed three One Third of Umbilical Cords for the true ending, "Childhood's Beginning," or fight the Moon Presence after beating Gehrman for the "Honoring Wishes" ending. Refusing is key to seeing more content and achieving the "true" ending.
