Iosefka's Clinic - after defeating Vicar Amelia | Walkthrough Bloodborne Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
You can return to the Clinic after defeating Vicar Amelia (you will gain access to the Forbidden Woods, from where you will head to Central Yharnam and eventually to the Clinic). After going in through the window, turn left and you will reach the place where the game has begun (a single enemy, Cainhurst Summons).
In a room at the end of the corridor, to the left from the window through which you go in the first time, you will find a chest with a Communion Rune. When leaving this place, you can turn left and open the door. You will be at the bottom of a flight of stairs (you will also hear a warning from somebody upstairs).
When going up the stairs, you will meet the person that warned you. The fight that awaits you is going to be difficult, but you can make it easier by focusing on avoiding one special attack that the enemy always signals. Your opponent will throw snakes from her hand, but if you dodge this attack, she will be stunned for a moment, leaving her body vulnerable to your attacks. As for the whip and the gun attacks - you can avoid them by standing behind the table or chair (note - being hit by the whip several times in a row takes you a lot of HP). However, when performing dodges, be careful not to get stuck somewhere, because it is difficult to control the hero in this small room. It is better to go outside and fight near the stairs, where there is slightly more space. For winning the battle, you will receive 3200 Blood Echoes and Oden Writhe Rune.
If you want to obtain One third of Umbilical Cord, do not attack Iosefka - come back here after the fight with Rom, the Vacuous Spider.
Note: Your opponent can heal herself, just like you, so don't be surprised when her HP starts rising. Moreover, if you get hit by the missile that she shoots at you as you enter the room, you can forget about winning the battle - it prevents you from using Blood Vials.
Obtain One Third of Umbilical Cord
Iosefka, after the fight with Rom, the Vacuous Spider, can be found in the same location. As you climb up the stairs, you receive no warning and, after you enter the room, you note Iosefka lying on the bench. She is neither talkative, no dangerous. Kill her to receive One third of Umbilical Cord.
