Bloodborne: Why Iosefka And Imposter Iosefka Shouldn't Be Confused

Iosefka is a kind-hearted woman and an NPC in Bloodborne who assists any and all civilian patients who come to her clinic, though she will refuse to let the Hunter inside for fear of spreading the curse of beasthood. It is possible to see her through the cracks in the glass door, and she wears the White Church Set, revealing blonde hair tied into a ponytail.

Imposter Iosefka is another NPC in Bloodborne that sometimes can be mistaken for Iosefka. Like the real Iosefka, she wears the White Church Set, with the exception of the headpiece. She carries a Threaded Cane (infused with Slow Poison) and a Repeating Pistol, as well as two Hunter Tools: the Augur of Ebrietas and A Call Beyond. Both the real and fake Iosefkas have incredibly interesting backstories.
