Description An impostor who replaces the real Iosefka in the evening after you enter the Oedon Chapel for the first time. Though her origins and affiliation are a mystery, she is a fanatical mad doctor in the classic sense - she'll initially ask you to send refugees to the clinic on the pretense of providing them with legitimate medical treatment, but after sneaking in through the rear entrance accessed by way of the Forbidden Woods, you'll discover her true intentions and force her hand. At this point you may continue on as her willing accomplice and resume sending victims to the clinic with full knowledge that they'll become her test subjects or confront her in the second floor operating room to dispense swift and arbitrary justice. In order to claim the most valuable item she holds, however, you'll need to retreat from the clinic and let her live until the Blood Moon is out; at this point you'll find her collapsed in the operating room and can obtain her One Third Umbilical Cord by killing her. Location Iosefka's Clinic Operating Room, where she will replace real doctor Iosefka. When the clinic is accessed through Forbidden Woods route, she'll move to Upstairs Operating Room.

Iosefka's Clinic Operating Room [Evening / Night] Speak to her after sending the Young Girl from the Canal Residence to the clinic. 3. Iosefka's Clinic Operating Room [Evening / Night] Speak to her after sending the Lonely Old Woman from the residence near dry dock to the clinic. 4.

Iosefka's Clinic Upstairs Operating Room [Night] Enter the clinic through the Forbidden Woods route and proceed to the upstairs operating room to turn her hostile; doing so will halt her quest's progression, and killing her at this point will prevent you from obtaining One Third Umbilical Cord. 8.

Exhaust her dialogue and kill her for One Third Umbilical Cord. Ending her quest. Accomplice Rewards: Each time Impostor Iosefka rewards you with an item before becoming her accomplice you will get 1 Insight. However each time she rewards you with an item after you became her accomplice (entering the Clinic from back side and still send her survivor) you will get 2 Insight. Also after you became her accomplice you will get Blue Elixir x3 for each survivor you send there from that point. Strategy If you choose to fight the impostor before the Blood Moon is out, you'll have a very tough duel on your hands - she has a tremendous amount of health and is very agile, and the tight spaces in the clinic make it extremely difficult to evade her attacks once she switches her Threaded Cane to whip mode. At first she'll walk slowly toward you while using basic melee attacks and occasionally casting Augur of Ebrietas, but when you reduce her health to 50% she'll transform her weapon and begin throwing Numbing Mist using Blood Vials and casting A Call Beyond. Interrupts are effective during the first part of the fight but are much less so during the second; the best strategy is to lure her into a more open area such as the first floor hallway where you have more room to evade her attacks, then keep the pressure on her with R1 combos to prevent her from recovering her health. Drops Oedon Writhe (+2) x1 [100%] One Third of Umbilical Cord [100%], only when is killed on operating table during the Blood Moon Notes Hitting door three times will trigger dialogue: "Can't anyone comprehend? That'll be quite enough of you, then. Isn't it time someone put you out of your misery?" and Impostor Iosefka won't talk to you anymore. Sending NPCs to Iosefka's Clinic will still turn them into Small Celestial Emissaries even after killing Impostor Iosefka (before Blood Moon) Impostor Iosefka's Threaded Cane has Slow Poison effect She will not drop Blood Dreg when Corruption Oath Caryll rune is equipped. Lucy Briggs-Owen also voiced Adella and Vicar Amelia, characters tied to the Healing Church. Impostor Iosefka is confirmed in ending credits where two Iosefkas were voiced by different actresses In unpatched version (1.0), if you accessed Iosefka's Clinic from back door and triggered her dialogue, from there on, anyone you send to her will yield the "I'll be trying old blood" response when you talk to her and additional people will yield the same response again. [video] If you don't interact with Impostor Iosefka and don't send any survivors into the safe place. Upon accessing the Clinic through Forbidden Woods route (before Blood Moon) and meeting her for the first time, two lines of dialogue will be missing: "Very unfortunate. I had such high hopes for you." & "Things need not change… You’ll do the rescuing and I’ll do the saving." Imposter Iosefka's body forms the Hunter's Mark upon her death during the Blood Moon.

First encounter ...Oh, well hello… splendid.. Let me ask you a small kindness. You’re soon off to hunt, I presume? Then if you find any survivors, tell them to seek Iosefka’s Clinic. Upon my Hippocratic Oath, if they are yet human, I will look after them. Perhaps, even cure them. This sickness, these beasts.. they are not to be feared. This time the night is long. Talk again I may be trapped here, but I should do something to help. I’ll even offer a reward for your cooperation. Tempted? Well, off you go then. If you find anyone who’s still human, send them straight to Iosefka’s Clinic. You can assure them, there’s no place safer. Please, do me this service. Talk again Oh, hello. You made it. Find any survivors? Or any beasts? Tell anyone who’s human about Iosefka’s Clinic. I will take proper care of them. They’re in your hands, and soon… mine…. Talk again after sending (female) to the clinic Oh, hello! You’re alright. Very good. She’s safe with me now. I presume you’re to thank? Talk again after sending (male) to the clinic He’s safe with me now. I presume you’re to thank? The treatment is going well. Stabilised, for the most part. Fascinating, really. Here you are, as promised. Talk again Oh, thank goodness you came. Be a dear, find me some more… heh heh heh.... hah Talk again There may yet be humans out there. If you find them, send them to Iosefka’s Clinic. I endeavour to treat every survivor there is. So please, be a saint. Talk again Oh, hello. Still alive, are you? I need more patients. There aren’t many humans left, I know… but find me every last one you can. Talk again We must find a way, to surpass our own stupidity. You’re one of the bright ones. Don’t you see, how much this means? heh heh heh… hah hah Talk again after sending survivor before becoming her accomplice Oh, hello. You’re safe. What a relief. She’s safe with me now. I’m thrilled to have another. Here you are, as promised. What would I ever do without you? You’re really making a difference… heh heh heh hah, ah!

Talk again If you find any humans, bring them to me. I’m depending on you, brave hunter… heh heh heh… Talk again after sending survivor after becoming her accomplice Oh, hello... You're alive. Good. I've received another patient. This time, I'll be trying old blood. I've achieved much. And I owe it all to you. Take this, as thanks. Custom-made. And cheers, to the discovery of kinship. Doesn't it make you feel warm inside? Heh heh heh... Talk again Oh, hello. You're still alive. But I suppose we're nearing the end. I don't imagine there are any left who haven't turned by now. Tragic, really, but what's to be done... Hit the door 3 times Can't anyone comprehend? That'll be quite enough of you, then. Isn't it time someone put you out of your misery? Access the clinic through Forbidden Woods route (before Blood Moon) Ah, moonlit scents… How did you worm your way in here? Very unfortunate. I had such high hopes for you. Well, I won’t make any excuses. Would you mind leaving us alone? Things need not change… You’ll do the rescuing and I’ll do the saving. But, if you refuse to leave… Ah, well. I’ve always wanted to try my hand on a hunter… hah hah heh heh hah Aggro her This won’t hurt a bit! I’ll soon have you right as rain. (heavy breath) When she is severely hurt Hush, hush… Stay still… This won’t hurt a bit! I’ll soon have you right as rain… heh heh heh Just, die! Enough of you! Now, stop that! When she kills you Oh, how exciting! I’ve never worked on a hunter before… Upon death Curse this oblivious fool… (cries) When is clinic accessed through Forbidden Woods during Blood Moon God, I’m nauseous.. Have you felt this? It’s progressing. I can see things.... I knew it, I’m different. I’m no beast… I… Oh, god... it feels… awful… but, it proves that I’m chosen. Don’t you see? How they writhe, writhe… inside my head… It’s rather… rapturous…. ah hah ah ah (shivers) (laughs)
