Iosefka's Clinic (Blood Moon)

Bloodborne guide · After defeating Rom, the Vacuous Spider
← All areas in this guide

During the Blood Moon phase, accessing the rear of the clinic via the Forbidden Woods cave path reveals the impostor Iosefka in a vulnerable state. She is found upstairs on an operating table writhing in pain and will not retaliate when attacked. Defeating her yields a crucial third of an umbilical cord needed for the secret ending.

Tips

  • Do not kill Impostor Iosefka before the Blood Moon rises (defeating Rom), or she will fight back aggressively and will not drop the One Third of Umbilical Cord.
  • Any NPCs you sent to the clinic earlier in the playthrough will now permanently be transformed into small Celestial Minions holding the items those NPCs would normally drop.
