Hi I found Mortician's Ashes as key item... what is it for ? Thanks

This is obtained from getting the Twinkling Dragon Torso Stone in Archdragon Peak, once you do you talk to Andre and Hawkwood wants to duel you for it, if you lose, you lose the stone, if you win you get the Twinkling Dragon Head Stone. It has nothing to do with the Soul of Cinder at all.

that unlocks door in Undead settlement (going from second bonfire) down the ladder and not enemy passage but door close to that ladder, dark wraith there that drops solid red eye orb and about 2500souls
This is probably a bug of some sort. I've recently lost Loretta's bone and the Tower key. I've checked if they're in their original places, but they're not. Anyone know of this bug?
