Description

One of two Healing Church doctors encountered in the Recovery Room. This one focuses primarily on melee attacks and will switch between both modes of her Holy Blade; she will also take potshots at you with her Repeating Pistol and will occasionally toss a Poison Knife your way. She has a great deal of health and can deal damage very quickly if measures are not taken to separate her from the other doctor; she will follow you as far as the cell block if you attempt to retreat, but will give up partway to the Underground Corpse Pile and begin walking back to her starting position if drawn too far from it. Beware that she initially hides behind a pilaster on the right side of the room past the beds and will rush in to ambush you as you approach the other doctor kneeling before the altar.

Strategy

Separate the two doctors using the beds as obstacles and eliminate the other one first as she has lower HP and her ranged attacks make her considerably more dangerous. Afterward, lure this enemy out to the open area in front of the altar so that you have more room to maneuver and either bait and interrupt her attacks from just out of reach or quickstep forward past them and strike with (R1) combos. Pay close attention to her at range as she will attempt to shoot you if she can't reach you with her sword; you can also use the Wooden Shield to block the shots and force her into using melee attacks instead.
