At points in the game you must kill guard dogs to progress. You may be able to avoid killing them, but it is very difficult.

Miquella is eternally living in a child’s body due to a curse and is kidnapped by his half-brother who intends to make him his consort. You can see him taking him in the opening cinematic and later on he is found unrecognizable and decaying in Mohg’s boss arena. Though you can only see his hand, it’s clear he is in very bad shape.

The lore between Mohg and Miquella can be interpreted as such, with the former kidnapping the latter and trying to force him into being his consort. It is said he “tried to share his bloody bedchamber but received no response”.

There’s also the Dung Eater questline where his goal is to “defile” and kill victims to spread his curse; you can find a “seedbed curse” item on the groin area various victims of his.

Lastly, there’s Seluvis who administers a potion to turn people into his subservient puppets, and while not explicitly confirmed, there are indications of possible sexual abuse.

Potentially, yes. The bodies of the Dung Eater's victims you get seedbed curses from all have bloody cloth specifically around their crotches, implying this could be one thing he does to them.

It’s not intended to be frightening, but there’s a character you can meet very early on who is actually a spirit possessing a doll, you can see her real ghostly face next to the doll’s face. She’s not possessing a live person, but could be triggering for some.

One of the NPC is incurably ill and one of the endings of this NPC's quest has them voluntary stop using the only thing that still kept them alive. It's sort of a passive euthanasia situation where the character doesn't kill themselves outright but just allows the disease to kill them. You can find their corpse later but you don't see the moment they die.

Another NPC kills their physical body to transfer their soul into a doll. It is not shown in the game and only talked about, but you can later find their corpse.

Another NPC can voluntary sacrifice their life by burning themselves for your goal. This option can be avoided, the cutscene can be skipped, and the burning itself doesn't look explicit as there are no signs of burnt flesh or any symptoms of discomfort during it.

No, though it's worth noting that Mohg could be considered a particularly horrific combination of homophobic stereotypes, as he is predatory toward his younger (and physically a child) brother, as well as him being an Omen, a being whose blood is considered to be "tainted" by nearly every other sentient race in the game. I can only hope it was unintentional since it seems Miquella's entire story was revised late in development, but as a gay man it's frankly sickening to see such a character in something that came out in 2022, even if it's just unfortunate coincidence.

Mohg kidnapped his half-brother Miquella and tries to become his "consort" against his will to obtain power. It is uncertain whether or not any physical assault took place, but could be read as implied due to one item description. There is also a relationship between two people who are technically the same person, if you count that as such.

There are no real-life chronical illnesses, but within the game's universe exists a sickness called Scarlet Rot.

Lore-wise, it is incurable and makes the victim slowly rot, causing them to loose limbs, eyesight and their mind (causing amnesia and plainly degrading them to animalistic state).

A method of slowing Scarlet Rot's progression and lessening the pain of the patient exists, but the method does not completely eradicate the disease.

The slow destruction of the organism, coupled with a cure that can only alleviate the symptoms but not cure the disease completely make it viable for classification as a chornic disease.

A lot of players in the community even make some from of AIDS jokes about it.

One of the NPCs with their own quest and two major bosses are affected by it, plus there are at least two regions that have Rot in them. All of these are not obligatory to interact with to complete the game, but there are high chances the players would stumble into them on accident.
