This time, we enter the Forbidden Woods proper, having used it solely to access Iosefka's Clinic the first time. If you don't care to acquire every item, the Forbidden Woods is a series of fairly linear combat challenges, but going for every item makes you appreciate its mazelike layout more. Getting through a significant portion of the woods without dying to the countless enemies can be very challenging.
In addition, I decide to show off how differently a boss fight can play out if you decide to summon help instead of going alone, but I do complete it alone to demonstrate.

BOSSES KILLED:
-Shadows of Yharnam

SIDEQUESTS:
-Sent the Strange Beggar to Iosefka's Clinic
-Joined the League and acquired the "Impurity" oath rune
-Discovered the Beggar as a celestial child in the back of the clinic, then killed him for a rune. Had he been sent to Oedon Chapel he would've started murdering the survivors, but would hand over their drops and some beast blood pellets.
